This should be the end of Noem’s career in public life. It almost certainly won’t be, however, which is itself damning.

Stanislav Petrov, the man who saved the world, died on this day in 2017. If you don’t know the story, just read this www.theguardian.com/world/2017/s...

lol yes

No idea if any of this is true, but like all patriotic Americans I am sharing this with full confidence I am right and anyone saying I am wrong will only convince me of how correct I am.

It's even worse than this! "No one can be deprived of liberty without due process of law" goes back to Runnymede, far predating the United States. (and further: the barons who wrote the Magna Carta also believed they were merely enshrining in writing rules that already existed since time immemorial)

The same people losing it over "8647" are all peachy with Roger Stone saying Mark Kelly should be executed.

There’s no dumb right wing shit that this stupid newspaper won’t take at face value

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens. Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

i'm not sure the ideological diversity free speech on campus dudes defending racist celebrities were, in hindsight, 100% committed to ideological diversity free speech on campus

Kid at NYU just lost his diploma for speech you can overhear by tuning into the UN security council.

My latest for @theappeal.org: James Carver spent 36 years in prison after he was convicted of setting one of the deadliest fires in #Massachusetts history. But after reviewing new scientific evidence, a judge set him free. “They took my life away for nothing,” Carver said.

The lesson of cases like this is that under our system convictions are more of a sacrament than a matter of reason. Lies, junk science, garbage witnesses — none of that matters. You have to finish the sacral process, and denying it is like denying Christ.

I'm embarrassed for the New York Times that they published this piece on Ms. Rachel, in which they cite a ridiculous anonymous righwing website Stopantisemitism while indulging the mad, mad claim she may be funded by Hamas (!). This isn't journalism:

Never forget that, at their core, our political news media class is extremely fucking lazy

Literally why does anyone respect Pete rose.

not sure how i can be expected to focus on anything else today now that i've seen the promo photo from the Madden movie with Christian Bale as Al Davis and Nicolas Cage as John Madden

oh is that right is that right IS THAT RIGHT???? IS THAT RIGHT????

The Knicks

Honestly until I heard Nicolas cage I wasn’t that excited

twitter is so openly nazi these days that you saying that a guy singing kanye wests new “H*il H*tler” song is nazi propaganda isn’t actually nazi propaganda

It never fails to crack me up how these fucking clowns roll out with more gear to arrest one unarmed civilian than a Ukrainian assault trooper gets to charge a machine gun nest in hill under artillery and mortar fire

In hindsight they were right. This is exactly what Republicans are now.

It’s just that easy

what would they say if it was biden? trump is senile and the press covers it up because they like him and want to help him

Pretty sure I’m nailing this job interview

An embarrassingly large segment of the American right:

It’s really awesome that UNC has to release a new PR statement around belicheks girlfriend every 20 minutes. Definitely shouldn’t have let him go a month ago.

There is no fucking "invasion" and even a Trump judge says so. These dumb fascists are beyond parody.

lol

A hill I’ll keep dying on: Whatever your politics, the fact that so many U.S. leaders do not understand basic constitutional law—or willfully distort it—reflects extremely poorly on our country.

The body and blood of Christ

Pro tip: Don’t drink raw milk; use it as a water tracer.

it’s astounding how twitter has quite possibly the dumbest user base of any social media these days

some people go on vacations to sightsee and go on beautiful hikes but nancy mace flies around the country looking at bathrooms

There is a reason why they aren’t saying “Boys will just have to settle for fewer Tonka trucks.”

This was published in April and Haliburton has been on a different level ever since

They were doomed the second they opted to work with Russ Wilson on their marketing

Why do so many of these weirdos not understand the story of the boy who cried wolf

“If we stop counting all of the plane crashes then they stop happening.”
