I wish this place had more college football content so I'd have no good reason to visit X (and I'd see less politics here).

Ripping this off because I think it's a fantastic idea.

Republicans care VERY MUCH about killing Americans abroad with drones, leaving ambassadors to die in embassies, and Secret Service hiring prostitutes.

Democrats care VERY MUCH about torturing Iraqi prisoners, urinating on corpses, and blowing up unarmed civilians.

Perhaps nobody really cares.

We’ve believed our soldiers were ‘good guys’. Things like My Lai were lone people who went insane. My own grandfather said enemy troops would surrender because they knew they would be treated fairly.

Now that we have cameras and video sharing platforms…it appears that may not be the case.
Pete Hegseth must be investigated, removed and criminally charged.
After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk.
It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.

Convicted of $1.6 billion of fraud. About to begin prison sentence. You’ll never guess what happened next. (No, it’s not restitution for victims; he gets to keep the money.).

This is very well-written. I see nothing to disagree with.
There’s so much nonsense out there on fitness from influencers.

I decided to break it all down.

When an influencer says… (sprint, HIIT, Zone 2, Vo2max, etc.) this is what they actually mean….

Again, precisely three HHS secretaries in history have had medical degrees.

All were nominated by the president and approved by the senate...
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. does not have a medical license. He did not attend medical school or train as a healthcare professional; he was nominated by Trump and approved by the Republican Senate. It’s all about power and money.

Since 1980, when the modern position was created, precisely THREE HHS Secretaries have been medical doctors.

Tom Price, who served 7 months in Trump 1.0
Louis Sullivan from the George HW Bush admin
Otis Brown (Reagan)

Most have been attorneys like RFK, Jr.

The US is at war with drug smugglers so the military can kill them.

But they don't have to comply with the rules of war because they aren't killing military personnel.

But, they don't need convictions before execution because the US is at war with them, meaning they aren't actually civilians.
I would call Pete Hegseth a war criminal, but we aren’t at war. He’s just a mass murderer.

Xenophobia, not racism, drives MAGA.

Trump would rather have non-whites wearing MAGA hats the most stereotypical Aryans imaginable if the latter disagreed with him politically.
Everyone in politics, everyone in media knows what’s happening here: the White House is controlled by a repellant white supremacist who waits with bated breath for any opportunity to run nonwhite people out of America. They know who it is, what he’s doing. But they won’t SAY it.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Boston doesn't have a 'chief' of police, there is no commissioner named "Michael Thompson" video says apartment 412 though picture shows 38 (3B?), a new station wouldn't dox a private residence like this, and the videos show three different black men.

This platform is becoming Facebook.

Nazi Karen calls the police on the Boston Police Chief. Good for him for suing that racist. #DemsUnited

Six of the ten members of Congress who beat the S&P 500 by the largest amount are Republicans. Four are Democrats.

Six of the ten oldest members of Congress are Democrats. Four are Republicans.

Both parties benefit from a corrupt system. Neither are incentivized to change it.
If the democrats get the majority, the first thing they should do is put up a bill for term limits & insider trading. That would've help "drain the swamp".

It's now four games this year, following a 7-17 loss to San Diego State.

Duties of 107% on Italian pasta will push producers to leave the US market (per WSJ, Semafor).

I don't get it. Do Americans really have a sudden aversion to 'foreign' things? Are people crying for PATRIOT pasta?

Trump is good for fund raising.
Trump is good for media ratings.

If democrats stood for anything, they’d have to actually govern. Instead, sit back, get rich, and play the victim.

Trump didn’t so much take over the country as much as have it handed to him by congress.

Congratulations to President Trump. You've long cucked the GOP and have finally broken the democrats.

It's taken nearly 11 months but you're a few Supreme Court justices away from having unlimited power.

I hope you will be a benevolent king.
