Doubly crazy because not only is Iran a war of choice—one that doesn't happen if the 2024 election goes the other way—but also the reason things got here is Trump chose to renege on the JCPOA in 2018.
This isn't the inevitable march of history. It's the election and foreign policy of one guy.
other people can make inroads and find common ground with regretful trump voters, in my personal capacity as a private citizen i am committed to hating those dumb motherfuckers for the rest of my life
Meanwhile Nick Shirley, the dipshit MAGA influencer who started this whole racist panic about fraud at Somali-run daycares, is saying “EXPOSE IT ALL” in response to a deeply antisemitic video about ”New Jersey’s Jewish Invasion”
Such an underrated gem, its nuts.
The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...
Frustrating to listen to how umm... unbelievably fucking stupid this person is, who sailed into elected office with no issue.
ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.
![While other habeas cases have acknowledged recent strain on the U.S. Attorney’s Office, that is not the basis for Respondents’ request. Rather counsel for Respondents put the blame on “the agency.” This is a dubious claim, given that ICE has a budget of “nearly $29 billion on hand each year,” a figure greater than the entire gross domestic product of dozens of sovereign nations, including Laos, Somalia, and Afghanistan. Respondents manage or work for an agency with the 16th largest military budget in the world.

this is probably gilding the lily. in fact, under normal litigation circumstances, I would never oppose an opposing party's request for 3 extra days to respond. it would be embarrassing. but when ICE has been locking people up for months for no reason, and has the budget of a Death Star, not sorry.
I discovered that movie via YouTube Shorts recommending it to me. Definitely an underrated gem. He had so many great roles like that. Another was in We Own The Night. RIP Robert Duvall.
Tomorrow on The Rooster: A visit to Ohio State’s Right-Wing Free Speech Centers ends with a vicious assault from an … assistant professor?!?!
Has this piece of shit been fired and arrested yet? That video is... nuts
Okay but... was that a surprising question for an attorney in this situation? Don't you go into a meeting like this going "okay, what sorts of questions are they likely to ask about my case/client"?
What a bunch of bad faith bullshit. Just admit you were wrong and move the fuck on, dude.
A lot of our political discourse would be easier if we didn't extend good faith to people who would never extend it back.
He's still on the "Mike Flynn was the mastermind" shtick? Jesus Christ he needs a hobby, LET IT GO, dude!
If you see what ICE is doing to my city and you’re still protecting it, you are the enemy and we will not forgive or forget you.
"Studying market analysis"?? Hilarious to read as a CFP who got called a "suit" for telling these morons their fake market was completely arbitrary and backed by nothing.
I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...
(For those not familiar, Oprah brought this scumbag on her show multiple times and touted him as a miracle-worker, and after he was accused of rape/sexual assault by over 200 women and girls as young as 14, Oprah simply deleted those John of God interviews from her channel/website.)
Just like she had no way of knowing the faith-healer she platformed and helped drive desperate folks into the arms of was a serial rapist and physical abuser. Poor Oprah, she got bamboozled! Aww shucks!
I would absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt [REDACTED] myself if someone told me I need to work 12 hours a day, six days per week.
Jennifer Barrow, 43, is a hairdresser who lives about a half-hour away in the town of Easton. She also backs the president's immigration crackdown and says she's less focused on the safety of activists and more concerned about immigrants committing violent crime. "I have a 12-year-old daughter, and if I were to happen to witness my daughter being raped by an illegal immigrant that has committed crimes over and over and again and not being deported … that's not OK," Barrow said. She said she doesn't know the number of violent crimes undocumented immigrants commit in the U.S., but said she often hears stories about them raping and murdering women and children.
these people get off on being deliberately stupid, they are irredeemable at this point.
Looked like a Sig P226. Not one of the ones with issues.
If the truth is ever to win out over propaganda, it can only do so in the face of overwhelming evidence, the collection of which has become ever more treacherous in the second year of Trump’s second presidency. But the news and footage of Pretti’s death seems to have broken through the usual informational chaos—at least to some extent. On Reddit, Instagram, and Facebook pages, the videos of Pretti’s last moments appear to have galvanized people who don’t normally engage or post about politics. And it is thanks to the bystander videos of Pretti’s killing that people are trying to hold the administration accountable. This morning, the CNN host Dana Bash referenced the footage in an interview with Bovino, asking him why Pretti was shot after being disarmed. “We’re not going to adjudicate that here on TV in one freeze frame,” Bovino replied. “It’s not a freeze frame,” Bash said. “We’re showing a video of one of your agents taking the gun away. And that happened before Pretti was shot.”
it's really a sign of how dire things are that part of being a citizen is having to choose whether to watch amateur footage snuff films to determine how much the state is lying to you.
The (now locked) post on r/Army of the RN nurse murdered by ICE honoring a recently-deceased veteran has some... interesting comments for sure.
"I’m devastated. Our country has betrayed us all" etc
I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

This video posted in the r/Army sub-reddit certainly has some interesting comments on it. Reddit is probably not a perfect litmus test, but still.
Also, Minnesota has no Duty to Inform laws... you absolutely do NOT need to declare you have a gun to law enforcement unless they ask you.
