So much online conservatism these days is just "I miss being a kid"

The irony is physically painful.
Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin.
The phrasing of that post indicates that the US and Israel will now start destroying IRGC and Artesh infantry. Since those troops are marbled among civilian communities and Trump administration has denounced "stupid rules of engagement" it's a path to non-combatant mass casualties
A little bit obsessed with all the nut clusters currently ‘ashamed to be British’ because Starmer didn’t sign us up to this shit show.
White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”
Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

Absolutely insupportable. Labour have a massive majority. It’s a hugely popular issue. To fail to act would be a dereliction of historic proportions, and utterly inexplicable.
This isn’t a hallucination, Michael Gove. You’ve never explained the millions you disbursed to buddies with your crony Covid Contracts.
Cashing in on the worst public health crisis in a century should disbar people from public life permanently.

I definitely want to hear more deep thoughts from the guy who claimed Elon Musk's purchase of twitter would "extend the light of consciousness"
Holy fucking shit. 'If Trump says we won then we won' is even further down the hole than the Orwell quote people always dig up about eyes and ears. He attacked Iran so he could win another fake award. That's it. That's the whole thing. That's wild
I grant him bloody,
Luxurious, avaricious, false, deceitful,
Sudden, malicious, smacking of every sin
That has a name
Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.
Russia helps Iran track American forces.
And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.
Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

i love it.
Though I'm boycotting this year, so it doesn't really matter.
there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).
the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.
A DOJ source says FBI agents found the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child to be credible:
"They would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying."
Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.
Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”
Operation Ajax: In 1953, Iran had a democratically elected PM, Mohammad Mossadegh. His real offense was daring to take control of Iran’s oil so the wealth would benefit the Iranian people instead of foreign corporations. The Shah was installed as a Western backed dictator who ruled for decades.
Bored of Peace.
Now do Michelle Mone
"I feel liberated," said a top banker. "We can say 'retard' and 'pussy' withtout the fear of getting cancelled... its a new dawn"
We should never ever forget why they did it
And there you have it.
There's something really despicable about Trump calling for ordinary Iranians to take the risk of rising up against the regime. He's been so disdainful of the same sentiment in Ukraine. He's never taken a risk for anyone else's benefit. Man wouldn't stand up to serve himself at a buffet.
here’s her replacement
Zelenskyy said today that in 3 days of the war in the Middle East, 800 PAC-3 Patriot missiles were used. Ukraine hasn’t had that many of them throughout the entire war.
I can't stop thinking of these numbers for a couple of hours already.
