“You would need a heart of stone not to laugh” at the freak-out among the Brexiteers

Marc Andreesen? The guy who went on Joe Rogan and glibly lied his ass off about the Consumer Protection agency?

On behalf of Brian’s family, we want to express our deepest gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of support, messages, and contributions over the last 24 hours. At this time, our priority is Brian’s wellbeing. We are taking a necessary step back from the public eye to allow him to focus fully on his recovery in private. While he looks forward to engaging with you all again very soon, his health and his family remain the current priorities. Thank you for your continued patience and for being such an incredible community. Please keep Brian and his family in your prayers. — Team McGinnis

And for the record, I’ve been running long before this, and yes even after breaking my arm standing up for what I believe in. It’s only made me more determined. Anger is real, and so is resolve. Take care.

'I am embarrassed ': Republican dismembers new Trump hire Politico reports a Republican congressman, who is also a tax writer, destroyed President Donald Trump’s pick for head of the IRS and the Social Security Administration.

Unlike other IRS leaders, Politico reports that Bisignano does not have a tax background, and he is currently also serving as head of the Social Security Administration.

Trump created Bisignano’s position as “CEO” of the IRS to circumvent the Senate confirmation

The order itself requires Customs to "liquidate all entries" without regard to IEEPA duties, but at the hearing the judge said unequivocally that "I want to make it clear to the Customs Service that they have to refund any money that was unlawfully collected." [4]

One thing about these big camp systems is that they inflict a tremendous amount of harm through sheer momentum. When a system is built to be both negligent and punitive, it tends to cause suffering by default.

trump abandoned the Kurds in Turkey to let them get slaughtered after they defeated isis for us. Just putting that out there in case some don't remember.

Remember when the US encouraged the Marsh Arabs in southern Iraq to rise up against Saddam Hussein after the Gulf War in 1991? They were slaughtered by the tens of thousands when the US couldn’t back them up. Ask the Kurds how it went for them in the north. Does anyone remember history anymore?

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.

Mrs. Simmons? We regret to inform you that your son was epically pwned in Kuwait. Semper Fi or whatever.

I give him three days—a week, tops— to pretend he never said this.

DARVO.

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

On Monday I sent a plea to the client who owes me $24k for months and months of work, owed to me since September, saying that if they do not pay me by the end of the month I will lose my apartment and that they should show some humanity and pay the invoice

They of course have not paid the invoice

Once he stops fixating on the drapes maybe e'll get back to the serious business of war, which in his case means deriding troops and minimizing their injuries

I think simultaneously some folks are assuming we just won't have elections & spread despair, while others are do focused on arguing w/doomers & leftists they underestimate seriousness of threats to voting.

Be alarmed, but alarmed enough to prepare & act & stay involved, not as excuse to stay home.

That’s unfortunate 🥺

If you notice that you are willing to go to the WALL for people who don’t, won’t, and WILL NEVER DO THE SAME FOR YOU:

Well, okay.

I got nothin’.

'Breakfast In America' Democracy is in a footrace with authoritarianism.

and the sort of self-aggrandizement that the reactionary elements of our society have always allowed in as an incubator of atrocity.”

“It may hurt to hear this but it doesn’t make it untrue. At least not in any metric used to measure such things. His notoriety is of course based on his pornographic nastiness.

“…what does it say about ourselves as a people that that Donald Trump has become not only the most famous, but in an increasingly perverse way, the most impactful American ever?

debate among friends wrt the strike targets is whether or not the targeting of a school was on purpose.

it doesn't matter, bc they're not trying to pretend to distinguish military and civilian lives.

it would be woke and soy to care about dead children to these people.

When Trump came to power, he ripped up the peace deal that Obama had made, and used the uncertainty he created as an excuse to bomb Iran, insisting he had ended the problem he had created once and for all, except now he's bombing them again to solve the problem he created and previously solved?

The people who elected him think of “ethics” as “how I would do things if no one could stop me.”

Interesting fella. He had put together his own production outfit and featured his family members and himself in the casts of his shows.

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion." The next tweet says: Today is a great day. Our military is amazing. @PeteHegseth is an absolute killer. Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. He actually gets it. God bless him.

Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position. The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.

Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could. He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran. I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran! He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.
