'One European official quoted anonymously said "We gave him what he wanted, now he's screwing us anyway"' Well, what's new? Hasn't this been his entire business model for all of his career?

Trump going on and on about his great peace deal as the bombs keep flying may be Dr Strangelove levels of absurdity.

Something that kind of dominates my opinions on this issue: - The government absolutely has a "build adequate clean energy to suffice for public need" button it can press at any time, don't let them tell you any different. - Asking people to die of heatstroke "for the climate" is monstrous.

Just a reminder that Orwell’s protagonist in 1984, Winston Groom, works as a copy editor, except that his job entails endlessly “correcting the data” so that the archival record conforms to the Party’s preferred fictions, and what is “known” becomes a principal instrument of conformity.

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

If music is your therapy, who is your therapist?

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser
