I’m thinking this morning about all the people I spoke to last year who were absolutely convinced, and tried to convince me, that Trump would be antiwar compared to Biden and Harris.

In the past week alone he has attacked Nigeria and then Venezuela and also threatened to attack Iran (again).

The US is now responsible for the governance of Venezuela. Toppling the regime of a smaller country is always the easy part. The hard part is what comes after. Neo-cons always expect a pro-US nirvana. It rarely works out. But I suppose the oil companies can seize some assets.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Admittedly, these are complicated times
There's nothing wrong with joking about a bad thing that happened to a bad person who explicitly stated he wants to live in a world where that *exact* bad thing happens to other people.

Democrats in TX left their legislature behind to prevent a mid-decade gerrymander after Trump demanded that Abbott eliminate 5 Democratic seats before the midterms.

Republicans in DC left their legislature behind to block release of the Epstein files to protect Trump.

Turns out the best way to make a deal to get out of your child sex trafficking conviction is to have one of your clients get elected president.

if Joe Biden had said that he had no idea if he was supposed to follow the Constitution or not, Republicans would have burned the White House to the fucking ground

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States.

If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does.

Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

If you wanted to know how an autocracy would start in America, it begins by releasing violent thugs from prison who beat up police defending Congress, illegally firing every Inspector General, and seizing billions appropriated by Congress for people with no authority to do so.
