Yeah. Like the CIA. We need to get rid of that shit with a quickness, PETE

if there's an overarching theme of the last decade, (with obvious antecedents in 2009, 2000, 1994, and earlier) it's that one political faction believes governance to be a tool of warfare against their domestic enemies, and the other is surprised they keep getting attacked seemingly out of nowhere.

Feels quaint, almost cliché, to say this about a Trump action, but just for the record:

This is all illegal, the President can't simply disregard the laws passed and agencies created by Congress, and both Vought & Trump would be impeached if the Constitution or the rule of law mattered to the GOP.

One 24-hr period

Hey Siri, can presidents “expand [their] administration’s authority” by writing a memo? I must have been absent that day in conlaw.

What do I know and I'm not saying it's a magic bullet or anything like that but it sure seems to me that Dems should run hard on the Argentina bailout. Not anywhere near the worst thing Trump has done, but i suspect it's unusually clarifying.

Doesn’t help that the Trump administration is literally committing murder in the Caribbean and yet the American political press treats it as another back-page story

Trump: all my advisors are nazis lol trust me, they’re sick in the fucking head

Schumer: i beg you Mr. President, come to your senses

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

EXCLUSIVE: Capitol Police are investigating a swastika found in GOP Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.

“The content of that image does not reflect the values or standards of this office, my staff, or myself, and I condemn it in the strongest terms," Taylor said in a statement.

A reminder that Ben Gvir was set to be sanctioned by the United States government in February 2024 but was personally taken off the list by President Biden.

Remember when we cancelled USAID?

Aside from losing many Democratic seats, Black representation in Congress will probably drop from around 14% of seats (nationally representative) to maybe 7 or 8% (not representative)?

A good way to go insane is to reread stuff published in November 2008 www.independent.co.uk/voices/comme...

CNN is covering prediction market odds from an online casino as if it’s actual polling data

Or the guy who took Armstrong and Aldrin up just hangs out in the command module and pages through.

*Clayton. Although I'd love to see a weird re edit where Michael Collins, played by Neeson tries to tell the rest of the IRA about a long fantasy novel and that's why the dissidents assassinate him.

"Again with the feasts. We get it!"

You'd think Zuckerberg, noted Rome nerd, could remember Pompey's hi-larious quip , "do not quote laws to those of us with swords..." And then look at how many guards around him have guns.

I know that they won't give me credit, that's why I reposted your initial statement, which is accurate. I don't give a shit. Thousands of socialists died because of this idiot's mistakes. As socialists, that should matter to us

Lol. A fellow 2016 vet. Wanna get together at the VFW and have a few?

What was this man's crime, exactly? How did his death serve the Soviet people?

He was a tyrannical idiot whose obvious failures doomed millions of his own people to pointless death.

Praising his WWII leadership is like praising Montgomery. Yeah, he was there, other people could have done better.

The red army would have been better off if generals like tukachevsky, brilliant theorists of mechanized war, were alive, but Stalin had them shot

Stalin's failure to listen to his own intel of German communists who gave him the date of Barbarossa and the initial orders not to retreat led to the encirclements of whole armies and the destruction of the red air force on the ground. You can hail the heroes of the USSR without praising him.
