This? This smells to me like France getting ready to directly aid Ukraine, and bracing for attacks within their own country.
WATCH LIVE: Epstein Victims Press Conference in DC
FWIW, I heard the same last week. Not sure what came of it though.
Bringing the world together in opposition to us? Yup. That tracks.

If the owl suggests you translate "I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place and broke the mountainside where he smote it in his ruin" I will have substantially more love for it.
C'mon CHF!
Boost the signal! #IBelieveHer
Oh damn. Zero chance I don't make this.
I accept your Faustian bargain. We'll burn to the ground together.
Why must you hurt me so? Ugh. Just... ugh.
Yep. Now let's deal with his continued, chronic law-breaking. POTUS for Prison, 2025!
I think this can strike "higher" to be more accurate.
Was it the cowl that gave me away? Alfred told me I shouldn't wear it going grocery shopping. 😎
Seen in the wild at a wall covering store in working class Worcester MA.
And I'm Batman!
Great. Let's see action, not more grossly ineffectual "stern letters."
GOP voters in Florida learning what happens when you sow the wind.
I mean, I feel bad for sane, decent Floridians who didn't vote GOP, for this evil being perpetrated by 47 and his regime, or for DeSantis and his thugs. Those who actually did? Zero sympathy. Self-inflicted damage.
Well since RFK Jr is every bit the stable genius his boss is, the option is clear.
#RKFJr really has given them a doozie of a rebrand. #FireRFK #FireRFKJr #MakeDiseasesGreatAgain
Clearly, the MAGA wing is every bit as triggered and snowflakey as they insist the left is.
I've noticed the same, though doubtless a dribble of volume compared to what you get. Some have had *some* posts-- but mainly reposts. And I got a chat even-- nearly a regurgitation of what's in my little intro bit-thing. They got the old usenet plonking right quick.
I don't smoke, but back in the day, I remember Listerine always being about my mother's place when something needed more intensive cleaning. And... good lord. The reek. I can't imagine actually inhaling that, on purpose, and on fire.

That stain on humanity needs to GO.
No lies. His speeches alone made his time worth watching. The "scale model of war" speech in "The Zygon Inversion" alone is sheer perfection. It's astonishing how there's always a massive amount of dust in the air when I watch that one. And "Hell Bent"? Jesus.
Now I want to see him do a meetup like this with Capaldi.
Same dude? He really is good. Well played!
Holy crap indeed. He is amazing. With that inflection, I bet he could do Tom Baker as well.
Wait, wait. OK Congressman Josh Brecheen (R, because of course he is) is fearmongering about... ((checks notes))... The Ottoman Empire? Does he think The Sick Man of Europe collapsed (for 103 years now) have risen as a zombie state? www.themirror.com/news/us-news...
Fuck DJT and RFK. COVID vaccine scheduled. High blood pressure means I can self-attest honestly. I'll happily fight to ensure others can be safer as well. I still can't believe we are living in this stupidest timeline.
I'm sure she'll make some more bland blathering before kowtowing to Il Duce again.
I'm angry. Frustrated. Disgusted with American gun culture, obsequence to the wealthy and corporations, undereducated who vote against their own interests, racists and fascists in the government, and religious wingnuts dictating others' rights. It may be time for Robespierre.
I mean, odds are relatively decent that most in our age band will qualify on one point or another. The youngers? I worry about them.
This checks out
I mean, I doubt it would be in any way up your ally, but I love my "spreadsheet games" where you're futzing with a simulation of reality in some way. My current is "Rule the Waves 3", simulating being a grand admiral from 1890-1970. roundtablecoop.com/reviews/rule...

Burn this concentration camp to the ground. I can't even believe they actively chose to refer to it as a name from the Holocaust. They're saying the quiet part out loud.
Totally valid use of citizens who are trained as combat troops, and who are called away from their day jobs. /s. So very /s.
The Democratic Party, the party of least resistance.
What's all this, then? (Seriously. Which fresh new hell is this in reference to?)
Please for all that is holy, show me this crapbag's profile link.
This. 100% this. Newsom, at this moment, is the hero we need, if not the hero we want. And if his corporate democracy is the opposition to the fascist model of the GOP, I'll choose that in a heartbeat. I would prefer a better candidate, but we need to be realists.
Sounds like a case for a declaration of persona non grata and booting the Americans from the country.
Oh, I get that's the gist, but she mentioned early on that secession (outside that context) was unconstitutional, and that rankled my historian-bones.
Hell, can we buy him some more sandwiches to throw?
She made one error of note: Secession isn't strictly unconstitutional. A state *may* be allowed to secede, but the requirement is that the seceding state must be granted consent by the other states, per an 1869 SCOTUS ruling regarding Texas. That said, there are no clear rules for doing so.
Word choice is important . Change that phrase "less than" to "nearly" and the story feels different. Media is pimping for 47.
I wonder if this putz things kids in Texas schools are married such that they *could* commit adultery. Or, might it be, that he's a proponent of child marriage? Doesn't seem off brand.
Sadly I find myself caring. ... because the schadenfreude-loving part of me is deeply amused at how apoplectic it makes the fascist toolbags.
a #Haiku Little orange clown, truth wilts beneath every lie. Can't wait for "That Day." #FDT
Unrelated: I love my VitaMix. Best. Kitchen tool. Ever.
* where "strategy" equals "incompetence" plus "dementia".
To self-follow-up, and to quote Lincoln with regards to US Grant's purported drinking: “...if it makes him win victories like this at Vicksburg, I will send a demijohn of the same kind to every general in the army.” Also: "I can't spare this man; he fights"
Sometimes we get the hero we need, not the hero we want. He's an ally against fascism. For now, that is enough. We can deal with a lack "ideological purity" of whatever AFTER we've dealt with the real threat to democracy and freedom.
Sure, eastern Mass gets a reprieve from S&S's price gouging, but what about those of us west of Worcester? Why are they leaving us out? As a lifelong Western Mass resident, I am getting awfully tired of the west being ignored.
That love child of Smeagol and Heinrich Himmler can just fall off a cliff any time now.
Come on, congestive heart failure! I'm rooting for you!
Ooh! Ooh! I know this one. Something something Malta Conference something something no separate peace treaties something something unconditional surrender. How'd I do?
If it comes down to it, I would welcome everyone taking the Einstein route and bailing out of an authoritarian state. Honestly, I have a family of friends moving back because of that-- from Texas-- and another who is living there that I don't know how he can.
Well that brought a legit snicker. Well played, Clerks.
It's time to remove this Mango Mussolini from office, and he can take that lovechild of Heinrich Himmer and Smeagol, Stephen Miller, with him.
The MSM must have gotten explicit anti-Russia marching orders from the administration. I really don't think they are serving truth or fairness, just the corporate interests.
I like you, I believe billionaires should not exist, and I appreciate you using your platform to do this. So there.
I wonder if you know what socialist means. Please explain how slashing benefits like Medicaid, SNAP, NIH grants, the SUPPORT Act, Housing and homelessness assistance, CIG, FEMA, and NEA and cutting taxes for the wealthy and corporations is "socialist"? Seriously. That boogeyman doesn't float here.
News organizations that serve only corporations and the wealthy should be consigned to the dustbin of history.
That ain't just feasible, it's damned near impossible not to be true, I'd posit.
((snicker)) May the Force be with you. So say we all!
Bye now.
Freaking delightful. Were I a New Yorker, I'd be happy to vote for him.
Yup.
Hey @housedemocrats.bsky.social , @dncstaffunion.bsky.social : You are part of the problem!
Why did no one tell me the amazing Essie Davis is in the new Alien: Earth series? Loved her ever since Miss Fisher's Mysteries... and I normally am not down with mysteries.
I would dearly love that too. Could we maybe be one of their provinces or territories instead of them being the 51st like some rabid idiot baboon proposed?
Maybe one of them remember the 'Nam's concept of fragging the lieutenant.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: Can we just give Texas back to Mexico? They've been nothing but trouble since the Army of Observation was in place.
Dear lord, that's horrible. Perfection.
Came here to say just that. We can only do so much. We need others to step up like OUR FAVORITE GOVERNOR, GAVIN C NEWSOM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
Well that's painfully on point.
Boost the signal. #FuckPeterThiel #Fascist #Facism #Palantir #KnowYourEnemy
Let it die. Don't support diversity, equality, and inclusion? We see who you are. Welcome to the dustbin of history. I'm sure Lechmere's, Caldors, Steigers, Sears, K-Mart can make some room.
Because nothing says “you should feel free to come visit Washington” like standing in front of dozens of armed soldiers next to a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be able to vote 🙃
In good news, Palantir’s stock is plummeting. Maybe we can speed up the crash of this dystopian company…? By exposing it and its fascist founder—Peter Thiel—so everyone knows they power ICE, fund genocide, and run the surveillance state… Find protests on 8/22 & 8/23 by @purgepalantir.bsky.social.
FWIW, I'm in the "Hoover gets overly blamed" camp. He inherited the whirlwind, but he didn't sow the wind.
The fuck he is, that fascist, racist cockwomble.
Sweet mother of Satan, the blazing incompetence of Verizon in this sequence is staggering. Units. Matter. youtu.be/nUpZg-Ua5ao?...
The White House is set to allocate 75% of refugee admissions to white South Africans. The only way to understand this is through the lens that American segregation, South African apartheid, and Nazism are interconnected—white supremacists learn and evolve, and now they occupy the U.S. government.
How is this not false imprisonment?
