Sicario, the special forces industrial complex, this bizarre hunger to be at war (or pretend to) 24/7, the obsession to be an “alpha,” it all blends together into a bizarro form of (overcompensating) masculinity

This is some of the most disturbing doomscrolling I’ve ever done. Holy crap. I need a drink. This ruined my workout.

Reminder that the incoming SECDEF: -- flatly believes the 2020 election was stolen -- supported Trump's legal effort to overturn the election -- claims the 1/6 insurrection was completely non-violent -- also claims 1/6 was a violent false flag by antifa edition.cnn.com/2024/12/17/p...

Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post cartoonist Ann Telnaes announces she's quit the paper because her editors wouldn't print a cartoon going after Big Tech and media oligarchs paying tribute to to Trump A new low in mainstream media's post-Trump meltdown anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

The depressing answer is that the "we" here was always cosmopolitan, generally urban centered, educated elites, and that that consensus broke down as more people got access to the microphone.

World's richest man / biggest influencer of the incoming U.S. President changes his online personna to a cartoon frog well known to be associated with neo-nazi groups for a decade. Musk knows EXACTLY what he is doing and it goes well beyond endorsing AfD.

The grift continues.

More in this thread on Musk alt-right / neo-nazi imagery and how the press just treats it as trolling. To paraphrase @kenwhite.bsky.social on goats, even if you think you're Nazi'ing to own the libs, you're still a Nazi

Abrams. In woodland camo. In Eastern Europe. Fighting russians. As it was intended in prophecies. What are rw clowns even mad about

Without downloading any new pics what’s your energy going into 2025

Musk versus Loomer fight is classic. The ruler’s scheming eunuch is involved in a power struggle with his concubine while he blissfully ignores his responsibilities in his palatial Southern estate. Been done a billion times from Byzantium to Beijing.

Awesome. And I will stand on Superman being the greatest John Williams theme. (Get outta here with that Star Wars thing.)

The Obama Administration traded away a ton of advantages in Syria so that relations with Russia could be "reset." This resulted in the survival of Assad. Advantage in Ukraine was also traded for JCPOA. Now Assad is gone, and I hope the same fate awaits Putin. Or, at minimum, victory for Ukraine.

I’m not a Syrian refugee anymore. I’m Syrian. Just Syrian.

PUTIN YOU’RE NEXT YOU BALD HEADED FUCK

Everywhere people celebrate, even in the Christian neighborhoods. This is Sahnaya, Damascus.

Well so much for our plan to only go to war with China on cloudless visibility-unlimited days

A lot of the big names were (1) selling a book, a podcast or their brand and (2) were protecting their friends at the DoJ who were their former colleagues, classmates or pupils. America's been fucked into the dirt by the DoJ-Judiciary cloistered monkhood, really years before the Trump cases.

It's all fun and games until Trump names the Undertaker as Secretary of Labor.

We're not going to have to wait long for the Trump-Musk War. Musk is doing exactly what got Lutnick on the outs. And Musk just took his dispute to social media. Trump not gonna like that.

>American weapons being fired into Russia by Ukrainian troops to kill North Korean soldiers Idk. It sounds like a World War to me buddy

This is the rallying call that I've needed to hear since November 6th. From Roxane Gay in today's New York Times www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

🇫🇷 "I don't see the point in calling Putin like Olaf Scholz did. Putin doesn't want peace," - Macron

Oh my fucking God. Can you people stop already. It was just inflation. It didn't have fuck all to do with "too progressive" or "too centrist" or "too hawkish" or whatever your personal pet project is We have the exit polls. It was the economy. Like every other incumbent in the entire fucking world

It has the virtue of all being correct. But inflation and a negative media environment bears everything. This wasn’t a policy or character election. No one else could have done better than Harris/Walz and most would have done way worse.

The men and women of the United States armed forces - and 1500 nuclear weapons on a short fuse - will be controlled by Donald Trump and a guy who sells soap shaped like grenades.
