Better to buy European armaments for our defense. Keep the jobs in Europe and we don't have any dependencies. Clearly Americans judgement can no longer be trusted.

💯

I continue to feel separated in every meaningful way from people who think this is okay. I’m not sure being their neighbor or their fellow citizen is an achievable or desirable goal.

Dicks Sporting Goods is one of the good guys! 🏆

God I wish this were true. I miss smoking so much.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

I’m a big fan of JVL, but I can’t abide this. Those words meant something, and whatever the current circumstance, I’ll spend the rest of my days trying to make sure they mean something again.

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Tate is like Trump in this sense: the most grotesque thing is not that he exists, but that he’s hugely popular, and what that says about us as a species.

"There's so much fraud, waste, and abuse." "Can you give us an example?" "Oh ho ... trust us, there's so much fraud, waste and abuse, you wouldn't believe it." "Try me! Just one." "Sorry, there's too much fraud, waste, and abuse. I can't pick out just one instance of fraud, waste, and abuse."

A month ago, the idea that the new German chancellor would talk about "independence from the US" would have been unbelievable

Elon Musk--a special U.S. government employee in the White House--has gone all-in to help the AfD in Germany. On behalf of the anti-fascist majority of the American people, I say to the people of Germany: Please ignore him or reject him. He does not speak for America.

A reminder to the men and women of our nations armed forces: You have a legal obligation to disobey blatantly unlawful commands. If you need verification, the legal department on any base can answer your questions about that, free of charge. Always remember your oath, and follow the law.

Of course the US lost last night’s hockey game. The orange turd called the US team and wished them well. Just like he did the KC Chiefs. #ETTD

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

They screwed this all up.

This Michael Steele explosion was worth scraping off of X and posting here: x.com/MikeSington/...

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

Rip the band-aid off, Stu. Let’s do it.

We told you over and over. He told you over and over. Homan told you over and over. Miller told you over and over. Anyone who feels “betrayed” is willfully ignorant.

The Eagles will snub the White House visit. Go Birds 🦅

Europe needs to back Ukraine with everything then freeze Trump out. Make him absolutely unimportant

All right, we deserve to lose this

I feel like the Chiefs might have a chance with a better quarterback. This guy just looks lost out there

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

No reason

Hedge funds are betting big that the stock market is going to suffer a devastating crash due to Donald Trump. Data from Goldman Sachs is sending shockwaves through financial circles, revealing a dramatic surge in 'short' positions against US stocks.

How long does it take for people to realize they’re on the wrong side of history. This is a thing I think about a lot.

I woke up hoping this was fake news, but found this reporting by a great journalist, @schumer.senate.gov, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @normeisen.bsky.social, @normornstein.bsky.social -- How can this be prevented?

"A U.S. military official told NPR on Friday that at the request of the family the Army is not going to release the name of the female member of the three-person helicopter crew." www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...

Random observation about this press conference and the coming NTSB. Given the…remarks…from the president (and everything that’s in the wind) how confident can we be that the NTSB will be able to deliver an accurate and objective report? I’m not

Full back pay. These slime disobeyed a legal order over conspiracy theories. This shits on the good men and women who did their duty all these years. Simply disgusting. thehill.com/policy/defen...

Wow. Another Super Bowl. An all time run these guys are on

well, my team's going to the super bowl again. best of all, everyone else is really, really happy for me

Congratulations to the Chiefs and the Eagles!

WOOOOOOOOO

Leaving aside some home town loyalists, I assume we're all rooting for a Commanders vs. Chiefs Super Bowl? Mahomes vs. Daniels? The three-time Super Bowl winner, architect of so many great victories and comebacks over seven seasons, vs. the brilliant newcomer? Haydn vs. Mozart?

Welp, there you have it. The "sin of empathy."

She's braver than essentially the entire Democratic Party and the entire media industry

Never going to forget or forgive a single fucking person who supported him.

Like all con men, Trump made the stupid feel special, that stupid was okay “look at me, I’m stupid and I’m a billionaire.Then he made them feel smart, with actual fake news, “windmills cause cancer, we need Greenland!” The stupid are easy to grift, I just didn’t realize we have so many of them.

What the actual fuck?!??! “…and guys, I’m just telling you right now, that’s how you do it. You go so young, they don’t know any better, than to go with you. That’s it.” -Mark Hartman Sugar Creek Baptist Church, Sugar Land, Texas

So... the people most hostile to women's sports in general, don't pay attention to women's sports at all, and think women should be thin rather than muscular, are the people most likely to have big opinions on trans athletes.
