What MAGA sees vs. what the rest of the world sees

It’s Ukraine’s turn to ask if we even said “thank you”.

Counterpoint: This is exactly not what unconditional surrender means.
Kristi Noem’s ad cost taxpayers more than $200 million dollars
An average cost of ad - say for the Superbowl is 4-6 million
This regime is just helping themselves to our money and - more globally. The grifting is non stop
Bull Durham is a baseball movie that isn’t really about baseball. It feels like a North Carolina summer to me.
Oh good Tottenam v Crystal Palace as a stupid American I am always mixing those two teams up. 🤷♂️
Let this sink in.
Four years ago, the US expected Ukraine to fall within days and even withheld military aid because they thought it’d be wasted. Today, the US — the most powerful nation on earth — is asking Ukraine for military aid.
Never underestimate Ukraine. Arm them to win.
If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
WAIT
BIHHHHHH
Kristi Noem is speaking at a press conference right now about DHS ops. I don’t think they told her she got fired
Does Lewandowski go to?, or does Mullin have to accept him as a new side peace?
Julius Caesar was the first play that i understood the language and it’s my favorite, then twelfth night.
Does Iran's need for Shahed drones reduce Russia's capacity for their use in Ukraine? It seems like it must.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Trump is well known for not paying his debts. Sort of the anti-Lannister
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
THIIIIIIIIIS.
And not just here. All over the place.
Like, I’d love a future Dem President to say “I’ve scoured the Constitution and can’t find a ‘major question’ rule anywhere in it. So I’m just going to ignore that effort to arrogate power to yourself. That imbalance? Checked.”
People in Republican parts of NC are super poised about the FEMA response since Trump/Noem took over.
My favorite movie villain of all time (Addams Family Values), I also really like her in School of Rock.
When a white assed man like me won’t even think about shopping there, it’s over.
Cops are great
And qualified immunity needs to be outlawed
"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
It is well done, later episodes where they write new material because the last books haven't come out are missing GRR Martin's voice (that bit of humor mixed with the violence).
The new Knight of the Seven Kingdoms show (based on Martin's Dunk and Egg books) is very good, six half hour episodes.
all those companies all that money and not a single chin between them
This is Ferdowsi Sq central Tehran. People on the ground say the bombing campaign is beyond anything they have seen and seemingly indiscriminate.
Increasingly, Israel and the US appear to be following the Gaza playbook, having failed to achieve a quick regime implosion.
They don’t teach everyone about Tulsa, Rosewood, Wilmington NC, or the summer of 1919
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
