I'm being bombarded by Americans posting about how "only Congress can declare war"... Sure, legally. But have you not been observing the last... all of American history?

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

Kinda insane and shows how afraid the networks are of upsetting this administration that a guy who killed 7 people and wounded 48 with “47” literally tattooed on his face has all but been forgotten like there’s still not a very serious threat emanating from every pore of this pathetic cult

People will always say they’re your friend and they support you no matter what but then they’ll say some toxic shit to you like “you have to let go of the cursed amulet, it’s changing who you are” and “don’t let its power corrupt you” all because they want the amulet for themselves

If America had balls, there'd be newspapers publishing a head of lettuce in a trump wig right now.

So have the Yanks added aeroplanes to schools on the list of "things that are pretty safe everywhere but America"?

Again my slightly contrarian take is that billionaires should be right wing and it’s usefully clarifying to have so many of them announcing what their interests are.

I feel like the Pod Save America guys had a genuinely good idea in setting up a non-conservative media outlet but then ruined it by being the Pod Save America guys

Making RFK Jr eat McDonald's is so good as a Stalinesque tactic to break his inner circle's spirits completely, over and over. You WILL eat the Big Mac and you WILL NOT say how you think it's pumped full of hormones that cause autism. Look at RFK's face here!

The current state of politics is just: "The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity." On infinite loop. Credit to everyone who gets their shit done regardless.

The thing that really differentiates Bluesky is that it doesn’t feel like it was designed by a bunch of people who will lose their jobs if I spend a little less time on Bluesky.

Seen a couple posts where people are surprised that Flavor Flav has opinions on politics and I feel like I need to remind you all of Public Enemy and what Public Enemy is

I have now convinced myself the American elections are probably more economy and inflation than racism and personality. Which makes me worry Australia is stumbling toward a Dutton shaped future while our government fiddles with banning social media and vaping.
