Despite having worked with sharks for 30 years, Mauricio Hoyos never thought he would encounter one so close up.

Now that Democrats are actually playing hardball I expect nothing less than absolute and utter crickets from the usual detractors who demand they do this exact stuff

Putting the abject misanthropy of this aside: How is this not just absolutely the pot calling the kettle black. This guy is like a think tanker with male pattern baldness. Somehow this doesn't make the cut for his deranged view of what constitutes the liberal elite?
it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people
if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

Didn't JD Vance say something specifically about how community norms of honor and prestige are more important than having ppl from McKinsey in govt?

This is just Bircherism except blaming the communists comes a few steps later

The idea is to be like Russia I guess. Relentlessly hack away at your own military capacity to achieve symbolic yet Phyrrhic victories, hollering all the while that this is tough guy route that the weenie liberals wouldn't do because they don't love their country enough
Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

@wsj.com u good with this lol?
The Trump administration announced it would pause roughly $18 billion for two New York transportation projects — a move that appeared aimed at punishing Democrats for their refusal to back a plan to avert a government shutdown.
Shutdown fight halts $18B for New York’s largest subway, rail projects
The move appeared designed to pressure Senate Minority Leader Schumer and Democrats to support a GOP plan that would have averted the shutdown.

Our values are actually under attack
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

This is genuinely appalling. I am absolutely shocked how many otherwise head-on-straight D representatives are getting steamrolled and gaslit into abetting this pure historical revisionism on behalf of a man who opposed all of their ideals and wished them nothing but ill
Republicans just pushed a resolution to "honor the life and legacy" of anti-LGBTQ+ rights leader and extremist Charlie Kirk.
Half of the Democrats voted in favor, including transgender representative Sarah McBride.

No he wouldn't. He'd be a charlatan that Jesus owns with compassion and logic

Exactly. Enough with the "welp, this is it. This is now officially fascism ☝️🤓" takes. Like no it's not it's a stupid picture
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

Oh man. Embarrassing for Dean Cain.
ICE posting his training session like it’s some kind of “Man of Steel” flex. Although it tracks with the incompetent, undertrained ICE agents we’re seeing on the streets.

The sad yet relieving truth of the matter is that despite the extreme polarization, not enough people really care enough about the abstract values we are upholding as a country to go to war about it
People are so excited that we might be on the verge of civil war. I’m not. I’m a basic bitch who likes basic things like pumpkin spice lattes and not getting shot at in the grocery store.

While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.
Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?
Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

Craaaazy as fuck to think you can get anything out of doing some shit like this in August 2025
Although crime is declining, Washington is still far more dangerous than it should be, Charles Fain Lehman argues. Instead of just looking tough, “the administration should focus its resources on the people and places that make the District unusually unsafe.” https://theatln.tc/6RCOGO23
