I know our expectations for this administration are in the basement but it is INSANE they started a war without a plan for the Strait of Hormuz.

OPINION: I asked a former Trump official to justify this war

So the case for Congress is, once we have gone to war, if they don’t like it, they can remove the money? Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war. Congress has a role in cutting off funds for wars, which it has threatened to do. And the president doesn’t have to get permission. But yes, you can debate, you can decide. That’s his choice in how he wants to do it. I mean, here I will quote the Constitution: “The Congress shall have power to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.”

Behold the intellectual might of the conservative legal movement

Tech guys who only read self help books struggling to understand Shii'ism and glorious martyrdom

the last few times iran has accepted a ceasefire, the US and israel have taken the opportunity to restock their weapons and then surprise attack iran again. "there's zero point in engaging in diplomacy with us any more" is what that strategy teaches

Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, “Wyoming is missing”

One generation ago was the 90s or 00s depending on how you count it... Someone born in 1995 is 30 and even in 95 people were complaining about how both parents have to work, unlike what they think the generation before them had.

I keep seeing journo-types say the best use case for AI is to sift through huge Epstein-drop-style data dumps but I haven't seen any of them talk about the fact that the Venn diagram of AI-pushers and the types of fuckos who are IN Epstein-style data dumps is a circle

Maybe they relied on AI to pick targets. But they bombed the school twice, hitting it again 40 minutes after the initial strike, in order to kill survivors and first responders. The mere *existence* of AI means no one has to be held responsible for this crime against humanity

to be quite honest bluesky is what it is because twitter catastrophically fucked up like 30 times in a row

bro.

Really glad we gutted a bunch of federal departments under the pretense of "waste" for this horseshit.

The “leftist allies” consistent of one person, in a poorly worded and later deleted tweet… from seven years ago.

A render from Mario Party depicting Luigi with coins and stacks of giant US $100 bills, with the accompanying text "I can be trusted to make important financial decisions."

(oc art) shhh let her sleep 💤

Another commission done! Blessed to be able to draw her again

Your regular reminder that normal, mainstream, pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform

Go. Scram. Fuck off there and don’t come back. You can enjoy supporting the shit out of it all day every day. Leave tonight bitch.

Truly a master of the art of the deal

very complete

We didn't ruin the economy.
We didn't get you laid off.
We didn't replace you with AI.
We didn't raise gas prices.
We didn't foreclose your home.
We didn't cause your divorce.
We didn't get your kid snatched by ICE.
We aren't in the Epstein files.

Leave us the fuck alone.

She is an *extremist* disinfo peddler, not at all a journalist!

This is gonna come back to bite us in the ass so incredibly hard eventually

I'm reminded of that tweet when we first started the bombing where some guy was like "turns out you can just kill the bad guys and it's fine!" Less than 48 hours after the bombing started. Reminder that WW1 took a month to start after Ferdinand was shot.

But also if you are the Iranian regime and you survive this, you obviously sprint to a nuclear weapon, right?

Like, flat out dead sprint, as fast as you can, trying to get there before Netanyahu gets Uncle Sam to ambush you in a dark alley again. That seems the obvious move.

I think most people are pretty okay if you own a house. maybe it's when you own all the houses that we start to raise some mild objections

It's crazy that just repeatedly saying to the world that you're *about* to do something good even though you have a terrible track record is like... a viable economic strategy. Hell, Elon's been right-around-the-corner lying to ppl for like 15 years and it's cost him nothing.

“he’s going to cancel elections”

he is impotently yelling at his party to pass a voter suppression law that has no realistic path forward

he’s going to try some bullshit but there’s no grand plan here beyond the usual Republican playbook

tonight the White House touched the stove and went oof ouch owie. Tomorrow? The stove shall beckon again

Isn’t the thing that his leftist allies want *more* people to be able to own homes
