I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

IOW, Hegseth is saying to the entire defense industry, 'You will be complicit in our global assholinessmaxxing, or you will be destroyed. Resistance is futile. We are Borg.'
Maybe not the last part cuz I doubt he's Trek fan. But you get the idea....

OB/Gyn convo I hope really happened:
OB/Gyn: Get that fever down with some Tylenol.
Mom-to-be: I don't want to give my baby autism!
OB/Gyn: Look, I would suck as president, so that idiot WILL NOT guide your health care. Your baby's health depends on not being stupid.

Do the same people who believe humans are the most advanced species also believe this insane pseudo-religious BS from the US govt? Wouldn't that prove that humans are stunningly stupid?
Note that this comment is NOT anti-religious - it's anti-stupid!
Will they feel stupid when Jesus doesn't show?
They claim to have been planning this for months, to allegedly keep Americans safe, but had no plan to evacuate any Americans from the region because it happened too quickly.
Weird.
They're floating various stories to see which gets best ratings.
The real reason? They don't know, they're lying, likely both.
The wealthiest, most powerful nation in history is being run by the dumbest, most incompetent band of criminals imaginable.

there are only two possible explanations for the width and breadth of Noem's perjury before the Senate Judiciary Committee today: she is too stupid to realize the heavy penalties she could face post-Trump; she does not believe there will be a post-Trump
Think about what this means: An admitted socialist mayor of the biggest US city just got something done that the "capitalism-is-the-only-way" crowd couldn't.
Or wouldn't. Because they're either incompetent or their inefficiency purposely lines their pockets.
Govt FOR THE PEOPLE - not profiteers!
Millionaires exist in all the Social Democracies.
Socialism doesn't put a ceiling on achievement. It puts a floor under suffering.
Seriously, people. Does anyone think that Israeli strike was a mistake? They knew EXACTLY what was at those coordinates. They knew EXACTLY what the results would be from that strike.
They did it anyway.
Oh come on.
This has NOTHING to do with weakness or strength. It has ONLY to do with getting 47 what he wants. He is kissing Bibi's butt because he wants a BIG cut of the HUGE real estate deal that clearing Gaza will enable. Lives lost? Not his!
And distracting from the Epstein mess is a bonus.
Well at least Republicans are consistent π
Oh FFS -
There IS NO EVIDENCE that the 2020 election was falsified in any way, shape or form, by anyone including Iran, aside from the social media disinfo campaigns from Russia, China, etc....
47 has GONE TO WAR over something he claims BUT REFUSES TO PROVE.

Your point is well taken, Rs are definitely the war mongers among us. But I'm older and I only missed getting drafted into the Vietnam war (uh, sorry, "police action") by drawing a high lottery number.
That was started by a Dem pres, and it was an impeachable offense.
So is 47's attack on Iran.
How many times do we need to prove that NOTHING comes from the mouths of any in 47's inner circle that isn't straight up BS. The proof is uttered EVERY DAY, only to be shown to be straight up BS in the not-so-distant future.
Straight up BS is NOT free speech - it's lying for gain, i.e. FRAUD!
Breaking β Netanyahu targets girlβs elementary school in Iran.
AI bots are exacerbating the conditions of psychologically vulnerable people, and driving some seemingly normal people into psychosis.
People are dying.
Yet AI companies strive to be the first to cash in bigly, with few or preferably no guardrails.

Let's zoom out from this one utterly stupid absurdity among 1000s.
This kind of ridiculous BS goes far beyond mere lying. It is the saying of whatever gets you what you want in the moment, no matter how ridiculous or stupid.
Truth is irrelevant. Only manipulation for gain (i.e. fraud) matters.
Best commentary I've seen on the topic.
To anyone who would even suggest the DISABLED person who uttered a racist slur at the BAFTAs is a racist, wipe that thought right out of your head and educate yourselves.
ALL responsibility rests with the BAFTAs and BBC.

So 'warfighter' Hegseth has his panties in a twist because Anthropic said no to certain "red line" uses of its products.
Sec Warfighter wants fully-autonomous targeting of kinetic weapons, without human intervention, among other things.
What could go wrong?

My comment was directed solely at accusations that Mr. Davidson, the person who INVOLUNTARILY uttered those offensive words due to his disability. Those accusations - based entirely on ignorance and presumption - just added to the harms he suffers.
Those who ran that show are another matter....
So SPECATULARLY stupid....
I'm a poll worker. If anyone even suggested giving any voter more than one ballot they'd be shouted down by dozens and lose their job.
And EVERY voter is made to prove or swear under penalty of perjury AT REGISTRATION that they are a citizen. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Uncle Jeffy Tiedrich says today in his newsletter:
"Hereβs one sure way you can tell youβre living in a shithole country: when the following two headlines appear one after another."
It's unacceptable when you know the "bullshit" is completely out of the control of the persona who uttered it, and he is likely more distressed at the utterance than anyone else.
That is his LIFE. Welcome to it. You simply can't let go of the notion that his words match his heart. They don't.
Are you saying accommodations for those with disabilities are an unwarranted imposition on the rights of others?
Accommodations for those who need them are an act of grace.
And again, how does it feel to have your character challenged for being you? Do you want to win a debate, or find some grace?
You're saying he has no right to be around anyone anytime. Because the disability is an equal-opportunity offender.
You are quite literally suggesting an otherwise fully functional person live their life in solitary confinement.
If that's not what you meant, it's what you said.
How does it feel?
I've no experience with Tourette's, but I do with other disorders.
'Involuntary' tics means the thought process has been short-circuited. It means ANY thoughts - racist or otherwise - have been bypassed. (If not, the outburst could be controlled!)
Claims of racism are just admissions of ignorance.
