The Left, terrifying innocent people by pointing out the shitty terrifying consequences of what the Right actually did

The position of the Trump administration is that you don’t even need or deserve to know why we went to war, the actual facts are irrelevant, and you should just trust them no matter what

the amount of contempt vance has for everyone he's talking to — such that he'll say obvious nonsense as if he's fooling you — is genuinely remarkable

Trump’s criticism of Bush-era wars was that the US should’ve stolen Iraqi oil and killed innocent family members of enemies. In his first term, he escalated conflicts and ripped up treaties. He denigrates NATO because he hates democracy and likes Russian imperialism. How did anyone miss this?

So Miller attacked LA because Musk stole his wife and Trump is bombing Iran because no one came to his birthday party. Men are too emotional to lead.

Thanks to “institutional neutrality” an African American law prof couldn’t offer a course with “inequality” in the title, but a self-described white nationalist could win a prize for writing a paper that reads like a Klan manifesto.

I would like to offer a fuck you from the bottom of my heart every dipshit crank that spend the last fucking decade acting like at any point Donald Trump was ever even remotely a peace candidate

There's no declaration of war, and no AUMF that covers this. Entering this war is wrong on the merits; we had a perfectly peaceful way to address Iran's nuclear program. It's also unlawful. A democratic republic should not be able to enter a war of choice on one man's say-so.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

This is telling. On his laser eyes twitter account Lee claimed the assassin was like antifa or a prog Dem. But semi privately his office circulated a different message

With respect to this top staffer and their grief, I think this is a mistake. For Mike Lee and the sort of people who would work for him, it’s great news that they caused more pain to Democrats. They have no decency to which one could appeal. They will consume this with laughter, not regret.

Analyst on MPR asked about whether political violence is a problem now, and talks about partisanship. No. The problem is an enormous and growing community of far right radicals, mostly online. They are encouraged by Trump and his cronies, and actively celebrate violence, without consequence.

this shit is all elaborate fan fiction, every actual thing that underpins American dominance in science and tech is having a fucking sledgehammer taken to it because the groyphers in charge think expertise is woke and gay, and more actual news outlets (so not TFP) should point that out.

Worth keeping in mind: He’s not actually charged with something that requires proof of gang membership/activity. Which suggests the following 1. We said he was MS 13 2. We have to prosecute him 3. Say he’s MS 13 in the indictment, charge him with something that doesn’t require us to prove it

Joe Biden was old and not fully competent and his staff covered it up. Big scandal. Donald Trump was accused by his top donor and former top ‘Special Government Employee’ of being a pedophile. So are his staff covering that up? Isn’t that, y’know, a bigger scandal?

It is true that there are conservative lawyers who aren’t demented little groypers. The problem is that those conservative lawyers are now completely irrelevant in Republican politics. Talking about the “good” ones in FedSoc is talking about people who don’t have power and don’t matter.

On Earth 2.0, folks on the other side of the aisle would say loud and clear that if "everyone involved in the deal understand the payment as the price of merger approval" then it is a bribe, and all of those people should expect to go to prison if it goes ahead in the next administration

I think South Africa captures the right's imagination for a simpler reason: they are afraid that nonwhite majorities will tread them the same way they treated nonwhite people. South Africa is their canary in the coalmine, and anything remotely bad that happens to Boers creates a flop sweat panic.

Conservatives' view of "masculinity" is so profoundly weird, vain, and self-serving. Every time they talk about manliness, it's at best a list of easy-to-do performative nonsense like this, or more usually a litany of hostile and immature traits. What a pathetic way to define yourself.
