There are a million human interest stories about people dying because Trump illegally disbanded USAID, but reporting those stories would require NYT, CNN, etc, stop navel gazing for five minutes

I mean this is what it would sound like if you asked a fourth grader to imagine what a ceasefire would be like. and yet our entire political class is committed to never mentioning that the man is an imbecile

I was skeptical once, but this is where I am now. This court is both corrupt and so terrified of losing its legitimacy that it refuses to confront the president. Which of course only hastens the loss of its legitimacy.

This is the true final destination of a public and media that is completely and utterly incapable of knowing much less understanding things about the way the world works. It’s basically kabuki theatre as government. People say things and posture for the camera and it’s “governance”.

Oyoooo ! I don't have new stuff for the moment, but I will post some old to start my BlueSky. An old Street fighter fanart

For the sake of comparison, 9% of Americans approve of the Black Plague.

Wow.

Amazing how Obama painstakingly hammered out a deal to *actually* stop an Iranian nuclear weapon that Trump destroyed out of pique

honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

dems should be on tiktok talking about trump drafting all of these shitforbrains zoomers wetting their pants. just lie, it’s fine

If you use chatgpt you're stupid. It's confirmed

The theme of this administration is anti-legitimacy. "Oh we can disappear people without convicting them of any crime, we can destroy whole agencies and departments unilaterally, we'll start wars on a whim." They really don't believe they have any responsibility to the people or the constitution

Nothing is a fucking distraction from anything it’s all the one thing

plum blossoms in rain fucken rainy plum blossoms all glinty n' shit

i genuinely think that if Trump fears that he is going to die, he will attempt to kill every other person on earth. he now has the means to do so.

Virtually every MAGA Republican will now fall in line, and there won't be a passing second of introspection or contrition among those who credulously adopted the "Donald the Dove" nonsense, who, it should be said, helped bring us to where we are today.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

The GOP’s takeaway from the so called forever wars of Iraq and Afghanistan wasn’t that we started it and had a war per say. It’s that we stayed and tried our hand at nation building which they see as gay & cringe and rather just have us kill a bunch of people, steal shit, and fuck off.

We had millions of people out in the streets last weekend expressing how fed up they are with everything right now. Trump bombing Iran - while it could lead to bad shit - is still very unlikely to lead us to World War III and it isn't just an insta-dictatorship card either. Get your shit together.

checking in with all of these folks

Great job, Chucko

It is kind of darkly funny that Donald looked the American people in the eye and said “You know what? You people aren’t even worth the effort of selling the war,” and we looked him right back and said “Yes, you are absolutely right.”

A lot of young men voted Trump because 'kamala will girlboss us into stupid wars'

Yet Luigi launched a thousand hand-wringing op-eds from the chattering class. Makes you think

Why did I ever think I was so incompetent I couldnt do any job better than anyone?

This is why right now is dumber than thr Iraq runup. There was a year of endless propaganda on top of the war mindset of post-9/11 and Bush at +60% approval. Right now its a historically unpopular president following an unpopular ally into a war nobody wants and he's making zero attempt to sell it

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

There was a survey a few weeks ago that found half of Americans thought ICE was just hunting criminals. The institutional press have failed to make clear ICE’s primary strategy today is capturing people through the use of compliance traps, and shipping them off to substandard prisons in the South.

The only thing Karl Rove got right is that you must attack your opponent’s strength. If you ding him there, his popularity declines across the board.

do you have any idea how cooked your brain has to be for you to get got by "look at what these dem activists are doing" outrage bait that *MattY* sees through

The Conclave really chose an American in 2025 for the same reason they chose a Pole in 1978
