This charming lady, overflowing with love for her fellow humans, is likely the ideal choice for the position of Secretary of Human Rights of the United States of Amerikkka.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

It's totally absurd how reporters still decided to show up for this freak show.
Reporter: You said that that second strike was in full accordance with the law of armed conflict but the Navy's own manual of law of war says that specifically firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime that's forbidden under U.S. Law and the law of armed conflict…

It's pretty shocking how low the quality of today's Republican senators has become.
Markwayne Mullin defends Trump pardoning Honduran president who was convicted of drug trafficking: "What the president is doing is always calculated. I haven't had a direct conversation with the president about it, but I do trust his natural reaction and his approach to foreign affairs."

The issue with this meme is that it wrongly assumes Christianity is a moral-positive thing. Nope, it's not! Christianity is basically like a cult or a gang, just on a much bigger scale. And that actually makes it worse!

We will find ourselves shocked and embarrassed when we look back at the White House website archives.

"Something that has never happened before..."

Well, there's a first time for everything, right?

Plus, the recorded history of this current human civilization is tiny when compared to the age of this planet, so it isn't wise to depend solely on it as a source for events that occur on this planet.
In an emergency media ­conference on Nov 27 Malaysian Meteorological Department director-general Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip said this is the first time a tropical storm is reaching such strength.

"its uniqueness is that it is occurring in the Strait of Malacca – something that has never happened before"
Storm Senyar set to hit 10 locations in Malaysia
Perak, Selangor and Pahang are expected to be the worst-hit before Senyar moves to the east coast. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Severe weather events are going to get worse as temperatures rise. That's exactly what we're seeing right now.

Psychological projection:

When an individual accuses others of engaging in deceitful behavior, it is often the accuser who is guilty of such actions themselves.
When someone refers to others as piggish, they are, in fact, acknowledging their own resemblance to a pig.

So DOGE can just shutdown and people will be satisfied?

No consequences for breaking into buildings, ransacking the government, stealing our data (selling it?), firing workers and causing millions of deaths across the world?
