Air & Space Forces magazine?
it's kinda fascinating-- how do such insane whoppers pass through the process? There can't be a process... he must just yell "It's 8 trillion!" and the minions shrug and post it.
It's not suicide, it's attempted murder. They feel like they can do this bc they have no intention of accepting a defeat. They are looking forward to civil war because they expect to win.
Backing away from a fight we can win with a country that needs defeating, to take on a fight we probably can't win with a country we rely on. Sounds like a MAGA move.
There's no opposing leadership. Chuck Schumer is even less alive than Trump. Newsom is raging, but he's still not calling for action. Nobody is calling for coordinated, collective action.
This parade is even more lame than the last one.
That is, um... backwards.
Do I need to buy a bang stick?
Currently it is very difficult to imagine any future, let alone a peaceful and prosperous one. And the dystopian future scenarios have not only been done to death, they feel all-too plausible now.
It's always the ones you most suspect.
That's a winner
Roadkill Meatball is a good name for a punk band
What form will the coming civil war take? 🫤
In these cases what are the odds they will actually win and collect anything?
I froze all my credit yesterday.
Controlling Union Station is a good way to prevent people from coming into the city to protest.
People need to stop complying. Just turn off the engine, put it in park, and start reading a book and ignore them.
My Q isn't "Is Newsom using the right tactics", it's "Why is he literally the only Democrat throwing hands for real?"
Imagine some brave Senator asking him during a live hearing, to explain to the American public how mitochondria function.
We went from "You can't force me to wear a mask" to "You can't have the vaccine even if you will pay".
Exactly this. The intent is to restrict internal travel.
It drives me nuts that when Trump says "crime in cities is the worst ever, they are burning hellscapes", Democrats react hyper-defensively by claiming that crime is trivial and cities are peaceful playgrounds. You can't fight bullshit with more bullshit.
100% true, and also apparently irrelevant to their voters 😞
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
As someone told me: "AR-15s are Barbie Dolls for men."
JFC there's nothing in Greenland the US could not obtain without a normal, mutually-negotiated treaty like grown-up countries do.
Did the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929 basically guarantee disproportional representation for rural areas? We need to repeal that thing, but good luck doing so.
I would love to have multi-member districts and RCV.
Inflation/prices is most significant, and the consensus is that issue is what sank Biden/Harris
ICE *is* the militia. All the militia nuts joined.
I wish there were more than four of them. I am wondering where is the energy we saw during BLM??? That was a genuine grassroots movement that brought 100s of thousands of people into the streets for weeks. Now, facing fascist militarism... barely a gleep.
Wagner only from now on.
True. I guess I mean "objectively intelligent" in terms of her capacity to process information and manipulate it to her benefit. Cunning might be the better word. But as always, character is destiny.
"senior" means above age 19
"senior DOGE official" means he's what, 20 years old?
She's intelligent and beautiful, but nuts. What a sad waste.
No group is more destructive than the evangelicals
What's the deal with all these hard-right MAGA Indian guys?
Trump is just Steven Miller's chaos muppet at this point.
Such an important and efficient use of government resources 🙄 JFC 😡
Thank you!
I'd love to, but that would mean renewing my NYT subscription and nope to that.
We're all going to receive dividend checks for our 10% share...
Is the Grand Jury system the Achilles Heel for the Trump DOJ in these cases? They will not be able to secure indictments for bullshit arrests.
Will some legal expert plz explain to me: If I (a US born citizen) am stopped by ICE randomly (like at a roadblock) can I refuse to show them my ID? Can I decline to cooperate at all?
Oh stop it. Trump never evolves. He is simply obsessed with getting a Nobel Peace prize because Obama got one.
FEELS LIKE??
New policy, ever since the Secret Service needed to delete all its text messages from Jan 6 when they tried to take Pence away from Congress.
I'm beginning to believe leaving us defenseless is the idea.
OK but selfishly, living in the upper left corner of the PNW, I don't mind an extra 5 days of summer. I know, I know. But I'm just saying.
Relentless stock buybacks were among the things that wrecked Boeing. That was some $80B that did not get re-invested in R&D, facilities, tooling, recruiting & retention.
And of course she followed up with a question challenging him about WW2?
While simultaneously raging about ICE agents being doxxed.
"Zaid... suspects outside political interference." LOL really, Sherlock Holmes?
How is it that the entire package has not been leaked???
To quote Admiral Adama: "I'd call that a tempting target."
Why did the sword (apparently a blade from a paper cutter?) just stick to her back?
They lost me at: "Guard the omelette!" ["Stinkfist" by Tool plays]
I foresee a farcical arms race to divide up states to get more senators until we end up with North West North Dakota, South West North Dakota, North East North Dakota, and South East North Dakota.
He's just a weather vane.
Why are we laughing? MAGA has assassination, massacre, and Gulag energy, while the "resistance" has sandwich-throwing energy. MAGA has no reason to fear.
This. Transaction complete.
I wonder if any of the FBI agents that were on the Mar-a-Logo raid were on this raid. What a mind-fuck that must be.
This game of suddenly revoking security clearances from his critics was a gotcha setup in order to launch raids and accuse people of possessing classified documents. It's pure performative revenge.
Srsly-- what is the unemployment rate for satirists now?
They appear determined to put you out of a job
Also: yanking security clearances from people who may possess classified documents, then viola-- raid their home and arrest them for possessing classified documents
Sounds like mRNA therapy could cut into hospitalization profits, hmm?
What future administration? I have no idea why the "intellectual left" still believes there will be some routine election cycles that bring back Democrats and sane Republicans who will return things to normal. That's not going to just happen.
Fred Meyer is closing 5 stores in low-income districts in western WA state.
The detention system they are building is not for illegal immigrants. IT'S FOR DISSIDENTS. Once ICE is more powerful than all the other agencies combined, they will abduct anyone Trump doesn't like. Who is going to stop them?
It doesn't seem very secret.
TBH I'm perplexed that there hasn't been a protest.
Trump vs Lincoln debate would make a great SNL skit
Everything else aside, what strikes me is what dull people they must be. In a hundred years they won't produce anything interesting or fun.
The GOP as a whole has no intention of ever leaving power.
This is electoral-suicide policy. So why did they pass it? Because they have no intention of allowing free & fair elections or abiding by the outcome.
American diplomats could not even arrange adequate lodging for a planned summit on their own turf.
IMO the GOP wages war on government-funded science because it works. The entire GOP mythos/narrative is that government does not and cannot work (with a convenient exception for military & police), so anything that indisputably works is evidence that must be destroyed.
NOVA's episode about building the containment structure is excellent. "Building Chernobyl's MegaTomb" (Season 44, Episode 8).
That's shocking! Obviously we need another book about Biden's decline.
Saddam won.
Umm... when you talk about his tweets can you talk about dementia instead of policy?
"The worse, the better."
Remember when the Right was freaking out about "FEMA camps"?
My lasting memory of that episode is the video the militia guy posted of him furiously tossing out the box of dildos that people had been sending them.
"STELLAAA!"
Obviously they are, but what does that get them?
Is he, or does he seem good because he is literally the ONLY Democrat leader who is doing it AT ALL? Jeffries is a squish and Schumer... is Schumer even alive? Has anybody done a wellness check?
Amateurs
The abnormal psychology of billionaire behavior is pretty abnormal.
It's a classic despot move, to use troops from one region to oppress another.
I doesn't seem like Cat5's are rare any more.
He's obsessed with getting a Nobel peace prize because Obama has one. There is nothing more to this.
He can take my mail-in ballot from my cold, dead hand.
What can they do if you just lock the doors, roll up the windows, sit there and ignore them?
Let's get this trending.
How long before she's fired?
