Also can I just say for the record while we're all talking about this shit that it is fucking obscene that we are still bombing people under an AUMF that has been in effect so long that many of the people we're killing with it weren't even fucking BORN when the alleged casus belli happened

The Trump administration's decision to text its war plans to the press shows a transparency and accessibility to the media far beyond what we saw from the Biden administration.

Look, I’m not saying it’s good we’re renditioning and deporting people we label as terrorists. Obviously this is bad. But if you look at recent US history, we usually just kill them. Woke renditioning I guess.

If Dems ever get power again - assuming free and fair elections (big assumption) - they will never again have the excuse of “we can’t pass laws through congress and the president is powerless.” Presidency is now a king level position capable of law by EO alone apparently.

This is so surreally corrupt it’s hard to even grasp. US media is incapable of processing it - directly using the White House to promote a meme coin with hidden ownership structure.

I want to make this post because I see people trying to rewrite history and make dems the victims of a malicious campaign by Arabs and young people to tank Kamala's campaign swing states. What actually happened is that dems made a horrible political calculation in Michigan and ate shit.

Did you know that it can be really hard to weed out believable information when it’s submitted to tip lines and it ends up poisoning data sets much more than hate mail, which is really easy to weed out with automated tools? Cool tidbit of information. Unrelated.

remember what i said before about physical control of buildings often being a decisive factor in the outcome of a coup? the law didn't matter here because the cost of enforcing it once the criminals seized the building was too high, so the judge just says its okay for the criminals to keep it.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

if you think that "no one is protesting this time" it says less about what's happening in the world and more about your media consumption habits and how the news media is lying to you.

Trump did this in 2020 btw while he assassinated Michael Reinoehl. some of us tried to warn about it but as soon as Biden won there was no real desire among elected Dems to hold anyone accountable for stuff like that

It's worth remembering that this approach has never actually won anything. It's a party that will be accused by default of being Too Extreme on "admitting trans people exist" trying its best to avoid talking about any of that, and then losing. No one giving this advice has ever won for following it.

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.
