We've all been sold out by leadership who was supposed to protect us
The New York Times and Washington Post learned of the impending commission of a major crime and did nothing
(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops ..

Democrat leadership are gonna sell all of us out to protect their own wealth
seeing a lot of people portraying chuck schumer as incompetent or cowardly or not fit for the role he is in, and i disagree entirely. he is doing his actual job perfectly

Democrats are complicit
Asked if he supports Congress using its power of the purse to hold Trump accountable for Venezuela, Chuck Schumer replies: "Let's first get the facts."

Sleepy Chuck is selling all of us out to protect his own wealth
The hack Trump has discovered is that if you escalate endlessly, at some point Democrats will stop escalating their response to you, because they’re scared of acknowledging what you are and what it obligates them to do. At that point you have total freedom to break any rule, do anything you want.
Such a stupid response. Trump is breaking the law. Again. For th 100th time. Schumer is making this sound like a policy difference, thus legitimizing it.

Why bother voting Democrat if they just agree with the Republicans?

The uniparty is real and they hate you

Liberal leadership arent condemning this blatant attack against our constitution
“Did you guys learn nothing from [previous example of US criminal imperialism]”

If they learned lessons they wouldn’t be liberals

Democrats would love to stop this illegal invasion, but they're too busy taking bribes from Trump's donors.

This term is such a perfectly succinct description for why unproven AI algorithms are being adopted at massive companies that I am going to start using it
liability laundering- “the algorithm did it”
January 2, 2026 at 7:06 PM
Midway through my PhD I realized that existing AI tech doesnt work all that well outside of a few very specific niches.

I asked myself why all these companies are building AI products that cannot and will never perform well.

Then I realized its for this exact reason: shirking liability
Having Grok issue an “apology” is not just insulting and stupid (obviously Grok cannot actually “regret” anything, deeply or otherwise) but cowardly: It asks us to assign responsibility to an unconscious piece of software rather than the humans and institutions who should actually be blamed.

To liberals "normalcy" just means "whatever doesnt make the oligarchs mad"
Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

Not to worry, Democratic leadership will make sure to write a strongly worded letter!

Given that they openly take bribes from Trump's donors, I'm sure this decision is the sound and correct path to take.

Truth.

The only reason I wasn't arrested by liberals for criticizing the genocide in Gaza is because I am white.
Along with the racist fake grievance of "apologizing for being white," there's also the fact that a bunch of white folks seem to believe (and/or are willing to suggest) that even acknowledging systemic advantages they get for being white is the equivalent of being "forced to apologize."
Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

This was my grandfather's favorite movie, and I still sing "I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow" regularly.
Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

The South has essentially been under occupation by the plantation class for 150 years, all because we didnt immediately execute treasonous confederates following the end of the civil war.

My sincere religious belief is that heart medicine should be withheld from conservative Christians given their denial of the sciences.

If you tell me this is abhorrent, you are discriminating against me and violating my free speech.
It’s my sincere religious belief that conservative Christians should be fed to lions for the amusement of crowds in sports arenas, and if you think that that’s hateful, then you’re not respecting my free speech and may be instigating violence against me.
