The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Folks, this now successful campaign to capture the federal parliamentary Liberal Party re dumping net zero 2050, has been bankrolled by an “enshitification” online outfit called Advance -bankrolled by Gina Rinehart, an Australian coal/gas oligarch and Trumpist.

Dick Cheney is dead, the death of a bad person is a happy day.

Dick Cheney was a key architect and strong proponent of the 2003 invasion of Iraq based fake intelligence regarding weapons of mass destruction and led to significant loss of life and regional destabilization.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.
Welker: They say the house is not in session because you don't want to swear in the newly elected democratic congresswoman who would be a critical vote to releasing the Epstein files.

Johnson: It's totally absurd. This has nothing to do with that. It's another red herring.

Rats in the ranks: Andrew Hastie, a military strategist, resigns from the federal Liberal front bench, unable to accept Cabinet solidarity in the Westminster tradition. So he’s obviously planning to displace Sussan Ley as leader but does not yet have the numbers. 👇

EMERGENCY: ISRAEL ATTACKS GSF
Israel has attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters. People of conscience have been abducted.
The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and the Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.

A government shutdown means Americans won’t get the services they depend on. Federal workers won’t get their paychecks. People’s livelihoods will be upended.

This is happening because Republicans wanted to pay for more tax cuts for the super rich by making devastating cuts to the social safety net.
