Guys this administration is unsubtle about corruption and loves to do it but please at least consider that the former Fox News commenter in charge of the Pentagon misrepresented a normal thing and not that this a unique threat or special privilege granted only by bribes.

Been off the beat for a hot minute, but the US has for decades housed training units for foreign Air Forces at US bases? Singapore has had a base in Arizona since 2001, and they train in Idaho sometimes.

This is routine hegemon stuff, not a new/unique evil www.nationalguard.mil/News/Article...

Wait ... WHAT??!!

sherman, for the love of god!

Was chatting with a neighbor who is going back to Brazil after Portugal didn't work out. Casually slipped that he was a Bolsonaro supporter and the convo just ... stopped. My face is a terrible liar, apparently. But young and wealthy, so it fits.

Was told today about Indigenous people in Brazil who were desperate to vote against Bolsonaro. There were no polling booths in their villages so they got buses to the city, and when the military blocked their buses many miles from the city they got off and walked there. Fight for your vote, always.

Israel highlighting how many 100s of aid trucks they will now allow into Gaza is a tacit admission that they were using aid as a weapon of war, by the way. seems weird not to talk about this

Your Department of War sends a few guided missiles up the tail pipes of a few motorboats and everyone acts like you aren't the greatest Prince of Peace since Jesus.

Nobody better be out fishing off the coast of Norway tomorrow. I'll tell you that much.

Respect to Portland. Dada is a solid approach to managing this foolishness.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

Will it take actual fascism to make Americans take voting and elections serioisly, to recognize the reality of their choices and what they mean globally? No idea. But something has to.

At the core of "elections have consequences" is this. You choose, you live with those choices, from Trump-voting soybean farmers having regrets to "Can't support Harris" voters living with their role in how America is right now.

This is the real goal, to do economic damage to a city that has consistently defied them.

they can see the polling

This was magnificent.

Having been an abusive perv is a resume gold star with this administration.

Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to head up the Office of Special Counsel, cancelled a female colleague’s hotel reservation on a work trip so he could stay with her, and they ended up sharing a room after she learned she didn't have a hotel room. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

We will just ignore making war on Americans as a part of this sac tickling exercise.
