We made a mistake letting people who weren't 5-18 in 1996 on the internet and we'll spend centuries untangling this problem.

A really funny bit on it is part of their justification for having an empty train run instead of allowing passengers on is because they believed that allowing passengers on would harm service performance

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, just introduced a bill to ban Americans from holding dual citizenship. The bill says that to “preserve the integrity of national citizenship, allegiance to the United States must be undivided.” It’s called the Exclusive Citizenship Act.

"Who was President in 2020?" Has officially passed "What is a woman?" For the question that the Right thinks they know the answer to the most, but actually have no clue.
Leavitt: "The people of Honduras have highlighted to him how the former President Hernandez was set up. This was a clear Biden over prosecution."

It's a measure of how far we've gone down the rabbit hole that Rumsfeld, Cheney and friends saw the need to at least attempt to lie about Iraq.

Mason is terrible. The BBC does still have a lot of good correspondents, but they seem to think that the political ed has to be someone who gets inside the Westminster bubble and reports the gossip, without any distinction between what's important and what's ephemeral.

The artifice of the right-wing media ecosystem is so obvious and well-known that basically every left-wing content creator has a joke about how they'd execute their right-wing turn, what their grievance would be, how easy the turn, the con and life would be. Easy money. Some want more. Too much.

One of the key throughlines of the past four+ decades of American Conservatism was the conscious construction of a well-funded media apparatus which would both make nitwits like these two useful and keep them busy with as little work as possible—but that wasn't good enough for them, so here we are.

If you’re right too early you’ve been brainwashed by China, or you’re harboring secret anti-semitism, or you’re captured by radical woke ideology. If you’re right after the fact, after you’ve carried out the policies yourself, you’re an intellect to be rewarded and feted.
Seems like as time goes on more people will adopt this already emerging consensus view of the Biden admin in MENA, but it's one thing to say it and another to hold the architects of this program to account: why does no one ask why CAP hired Blinken, why CNN hired McGurk, Sullivan at Harvard?

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

i unironically believe we should pay government people extremely well and that it's not necessarily bad if they're wealthy but "simply ignoring conflicts of interest" is just pure grifter shit. you are going to take a white house job and then give yourself money. you think i am too dumb to see that.
What can you even say? Obviously they’re full of shit, but I am impressed at the emptiness of this post. You knew he was laughing while typing it out. Just utter trash.

so much of our infrastructure, gov agencies, religious orgs, laws, courts, etc, were designed around "the people wielding power will be fundamentally decent so we don't need to make laws to protect us from them"

one of the problems I have with Democrats (and other critics) labeling these "war crimes" is that it accepts the underlying claim that the people being murdered are enemy combatants. They're not! it's just murder!
Fox News' Joey Jones justifies the US military killing survivors after an initial boat strike: "An enemy combatant does not have to have a gun to be a danger or a threat... if you leave anybody alive, they can signal and let others know what’s happening and they can also retaliate through radio."
