I keep saying this, but if there is a sharp rise in skepticism or negativity towards the military among liberals because of these occupations, it will be treated as a problem that Democratic leaders need to answer and apologize for, not a crisis that the military or US government needs to address.
Voting public did hold him responsible? Biden was elected to a trifecta and the highest vote share against an incumbent since FDR.
Hard agree! sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2025/07/comp...
Very impressive shot all around, the inserts of the three women + color and the framing 💋 All pre-1910!
Rage bait used to be believable
And yet the thesis continues to prove itself true daily. It’s very scary!
It’s the palantiri that drove us all insane with potential realities
lmao here it is--"the real imperialism is letting china conquer their neighbor. when you think about it"
personally i think that even a conventional war with china would be a world-historical catastrophe of a kind not seen for nearly a century. i also think that this kind of moral cowardice passing itself off as strategic restraint makes that war more likely, not less.
Is she gonna end right to work and allow all public employees to collectively bargain tho
People will say anything to talk shit smh
Touch the stove!
Nearly half of Clark county voted for this. www.bbc.com/news/electio...
The character directly faces the camera and says he did all this evil because it made him feel good and we still have people being like “lol if universal healthcare was real the show wouldn’t happen”
Huh wonder what he meant by “I liked it”
At some point you have to just admit that the reason this endless farrago of hatred and filth from the intelligentsia of the modern Right doesn't inspire rejection from the media, commentariat, or political elite writ large is that they don't consider it particularly bad.
I think we’re doomed to this stupid take forever aren’t we. Walt’s rich buddy offers to pay for everything. Huh, wonder what this scene was about
So much for the tolerant left!
And what is it
So for approximately 15-18 years, 1999-201X, cell phones which existed that whole time were banned yet simultaneously we had shootings. School shootings are not an argument for nuking our ability to educate our kids
People like you are the second biggest opponent of children actually being educated, second only to republicans themselves
Sky fall was the burned agents revenge, no?
I think there is a significant and politically counterproductive tendency in America that might be called "hairshirt leftism" where pretty much everything must center that purported fact that we are an irredeemable nation of sinners
Columbine was 1999
Helicopter parents and people who think that any form of denial of child’s wishes is bad pedagogy
All of this is perfectly shit. The Metra runs every two hours and the Pace bus runs half-hourly, so we’re arriving right after the bus leaves; just for good measure, the CTA bus that’s a 4-minute walk from the station comes 2 minutes too soon to make the transfer. It’s all just a funding issue!
really just goes to show how scarcity mindset is the ultimate form of brain rot and we need to build more housing
This device sounds like the perfect thing for a learning environment
I used to teach high school science before burning out because of people like you. Your attitude was the dominant attitude and the view which produced one of the most illiterate generations since the introduction of compulsory education
What grade level do you teach?
You want a machine that is proven to worsen anxiety earlier because you have anxiety?
“I demand the right for my child to watch Netflix in class just in case in a mass shooting, they’re access to a phone will be less impeded” Fixed it for you
Trump's contribution to our politics was exposing that conservatives don't care about any of the principles they've said are sacrosanct for 100 years, and all they wanted was to be openly evil instead of circuitously evil. The Democrats who win will be the ones who understand this and act like it
Like it’s absurd that this is tolerated at all. This woman and her husband are singularly to blame for their children being illiterate, far behind any sane metric. Abolish prison? A joke. She belongs in one.
These people are in a cult and live inside a batshit alternate reality and are trying to get as many Americans as possible to join them inside it.
I have supreme confidence the browns wouldn’t have picked well and if they picked the same players, they’d have turned out far worse
I return to what my wife says: “Guy on the right* looks like he is a picky eater and fussy”
Left pic looks like a normal guy, the second pic is clearly artificial
Our media wants us occupied and subjected to every deprivation possible
This vs how my brother is raising his kid (reading them 1k books, including repeats) and how bright and social his daughter is… It’s just child abuse folks. That’s what homeschooling is 99.9% of the time
It's a lie. Stipulating "explicit" carries the implication that he *does* have some other kind of informal, traditional or implied authority over elections, when he does not. Don't print lies in the newspaper.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Look, this guy is obviously the antichrist.
Edward Snowden is a guy who fled to Russia to leak intelligence that would very specifically harm the US, he currently has Russian citizenship, and the Russian government only ever puts him in front of a keyboard so he can make Democrats look bad Please keep telling us that Russiagate is not real
I think that episode and every one like it was probably bullshit excusemaking
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
It’s so weird that people latched onto a bunch of mostly bullshit justifications for disliking a technology that has immediate obvious negative societal externalities. It’s made it way harder to teach writing but people scream about imaginary lakes evaporating.
one of the most important technological revolutions in history and it has nothing to do with AI. Trump and his petrostate paymasters want to stop it but at best they'll succeed at costing Americans billions by leaving us slower to adopt it.
You’d choose the more modern one simply for the access to running water and electricity regardless of how brutal the regime above you is. Not sure that says much other than communists are good at mass producing power plants
When will a defense of immigration and a serious, actionable policy agenda emerge?
Trump fans would never cut you off, they would just keep spewing their garbage until you stopped talking to them. Again for the one millionth time: it’s always the left that are expected to be the compromise position, you’re expected to meet a racist / sexist /homophobe halfway
It feels the same as doing it inside a guy more or less tbh
Not sure how populism squares the circle with how big words are purposefully alienating to The People but also the elites are condescending villains who all think The People are idiots who can barely read. IDK you pretty clearly also think that!
going back to the founders it would have been recognized as an act of gratitude and patriotism to dedicate one's life to service of their adopted country, but Vance rejects the fundamental ideal of America in favor of crude blood-and-soil Nazism that he learned on the internet five years ago
The president implemented a hundred billion dollar tax hike with a memo it’s incredible that this is even a constitutional question at all
Was it birds or was it stars twirling around his head?
The state and municipal budgets are explicitly zero sum.
it really makes you think huh bsky.app/profile/rhyz...
Nobody in the comments, it seems, is capable of distinguishing between the options local to a state government relative to those open to the Federal government
Type of person who thinks the place that voted to cut public hospital funding will vote to defund the police
I think it’s pretty interesting actually that the boomer generation very uniquely seems incapable of generational reproduction. Across the board, in every social institution And then you get remarks like these demanding you not notice it
Simulacra is definitely the word of the month
The job market being dog shit also needs to be in that 2024 Econ story. Record low quits and record long “time to find a job” is not what full employment is supposed to look like
Make it read “Give a dawg a bad name and you may as well hang him” and it’s over a pixelated image of a swagged out goofy and Mickey Mouse
The sample clip of the Abe Lincoln and trump… people actually like this?
His “go on everything especially local” media strategy paid dividends and he really nails the college educated liberal demo so he will always have a base. Plenty of other smart boy white men with thin governing experience have come and gone, his staying power is a testament to a latent quality imo
Gotta say Joni deciding to pull her objections to Hegseth to spare herself a primary challenge only to not even run for re-election is incredibly on brand for a Very Serious National Security Republican
Seeing young Kevin would be so cool
little known fact: In 2020, Republicans lost the White House and the Senate.
The schoolhouse rock generation is in power and they want the world to reflect that cartoon reality. They will kill you to make this a reality
Wow, the GOP China hawks are frauds?
there have to be tribunals
Chicago is a biking city!

I was 24 when I got married, 23 when I was engaged
Also plenty of long form documentary investigations already exist. If anything this is the YouTube native version of PBS Frontline or 60 minutes
bsky is either Dem Juche slop sucking off some glup shitto freshman New Dem or dum dum leftists who want to abolish prison but also execute hundreds of thousands of people
Very, *very* smart piece from @espiers.bsky.social about why media efforts by Dem consultants are so often comical failures. Highly recommended:
It’s all jokes until it’s deadly serious “this about empathy and humanity” and they get to flip the switch So obnoxious.
I’d take it even more straightforward A bullshit spin job trying explain why the president can’t send in troops that he literally doesn’t have the power to do
Why am I at fault for what their own parents did to them?
“We’re a Christian nation” Okay. Sure. Which kind of Christian?
Do you think they say this about the millions of trump voters who live in cities and blue states? They actually don’t! The expectation of the eternally turning cheek is going to leave you quite disappointed. Fella.
They want me dead and that’s good enough for me to declare them my enemy
Many people seem incapable of getting that tradeoffs exist. It's always some story of if only dems did X everything would be fine. But X is simply impossible.
When you suggest that perhaps rural voters should suffer the consequences of this administration’s actions people inevitably respond as if the other option is “nobody suffers.” But that isn’t the other option! The other option is urban and suburban voters should self-harm to protect them instead.
This is correct, and it irks me when people say "Oh so you're fine with rural kids not getting healthcare?" Doesn't matter what I think. Their own parents are fine with those kids not getting healthcare. They won't learn if we keep bailing them out; probably won't anyway, but it's time to try.
how much of this is people not understanding that state budgets are (essentially) zero sum there's only two money printers and the feds have both of em
The next meal ticket, God opens windows when doors close
A folksy enough butch lesbian could change this
The best example of this type of self immolating behavior was the flood preparedness money that Kerr Country received but the county decided not use that money because it came from the libs. What is the left supposed to do with this type of behavior? They view your help as detrimental and evil.
You’re supposed to be eternally merciful to the noble savages who do not know what they do, duh shitlib 😏 This is because I’m a good person filled with empathy ☺️
Respect their wishes as fellow citizens and adults
All you do is whine on the internet and scold people for not caring as much as you do. By all means my young radical, go fire bomb an Israeli embassy or whatever
All that matters to you is appearing holy in the eyes of internet strangers, not fighting reactionary power
