Amazing how the "don't tread on me" crowd so quickly became "please tread on me, daddy".

From his wikipedia page, "He has also been described by Forbes as ideologically flexible and pragmatic".
Yeah... "ideologically flexible" rhymes with "morally flexible".

And, with all due respect, there's also a bit of Matt Berry there. 😆

If we're doing that, how about a posthumous one for a certain Austrian dictator? He did build the Autobahn after all...
(yes, I know that this isn't 100% accurate, but who cares at this stage?)

Might I recommend an underwater base or somewhere beneath a volcano, surrounded by henchmen in matching jumpsuits?

"Criminal illegal alien"... not enough redundancy in that expression.
How about "Felonious undocumented unlawfully residing transnational non-native extra-territorial border-transgressing criminally deviant individual"?

Trump macht das ständig. Er beansprucht Siege, Frieden und wirtschaftliche Abkommen – und niemand bekommt etwas davon mit. Der senile Narr lebt in einer Fantasiewelt.

Do try, by all means. But it's pretty clear that he doesn't give AF. They're bringing a knife to a gun fight and it's obvious the US legal system needs to be completely overhauled to ensure that this can't happen again. This is assuming there's a democracy left in 2 years.

I'm loving the cognitive dissonance that some conservative pundits are going through now, re: state-controlled economies. Guess it's not just a socialist thing. 😄

Repeat after me... "not a war, not a war, not a war". Now close your eyes. Drink the koolaid, wear the red cap and... ✨️✨️✨️
See? The glorious leader is right,it's "not a war"!

I'm loving the cognitive dissonance conservative pundits are having to deal with now regarding state-controlled economies. I guess it's not just a socialist thing. 🤣

I'd love to see the summaries...
Farm boy gets radicalized by a wizard, makes weird friends, joins space rebels, and bullseyes a death moon with zero training. #StarWars #ANewHope
In other news, I'm thinking of opening a refugee camp for academics. Payment in lectures accepted.

If you're ever in Europe around February, Belgian Doom Metal label "Meuse Records" organises a fun and interesting little doom metal festival. "Haunting the Castle" at the Anthisnes abbey. Been there 2 years in a row now. Great stuff. Heavy and Dooooooom. No lineup for 2026 yet. 🤘🤘

Technically, if Jerusalem ceases to exist (nuclear bomb makes it uninhabitable, for instance), the temple can't be rebuilt, and prophecy fails. Right?
That said, they're resourceful psychopaths. They'd rebuild anyway, regardless of the radiation. Self-fulfilling prophecy...

I'm sure God will be pleased.
Wait, we are talking about Khorne, the fictional God of blood, war, and murder, right?

MAGA builders should be shitting their pants right now that so many Hispanics are being deported.

With luck, the ICE thugs will have to go home and be forced to have a difficult conversations with their partner about how they got covered in glitter...
"Are you an ICE thug, a rapist or have you been cheating on me?"

I guess they were protesting the wrong kind of autocrat a few days ago.
I would have loved to see the slogans and placards:
“No Kings, No God-Emperors!”
“Burn the Throne, Free the Galaxy!”
"Dethrone the corpse God!"

You could be mistaken for assuming this was historical footage of Duterte's death squads in Manilla. But then you check the signs and number plates...

Guam? Cool. But tell Hegseth to not have them fly into Iran from the south, or else all the Houtis in his Signal groups will be there to shoot them down.

"We will not follow England's example"... fucking hell, how to say "I've never travelled to Europe" without saying she's never travelled to Europe. Bloody rednecks

German business owner here. We buy woodworking supplies from Asia. Last week, for the 1st time, two of my suppliers insisted on using Euro in their order quotation. Not USD. That was interesting 😃

Eines ist sicher: Wenn christliche Nationalisten versuchen, das Christentum als die Religion darzustellen, die die Sklaverei abgeschafft hat, wird niemand mit Verstand diese Aussage noch ernst nehmen.
comment in response to

Ich glaube nicht, dass irgendjemand auf der Welt darüber überrascht ist. Überraschend ist eher, dass er noch keinen Erlass unterzeichnet hat, der das Feiern des Endes der Sklaverei verbietet.

Die USA vergessen, warum sie vor Jahren gegen Terrorismus kämpfen mussten. Sie ignorieren die Ursachen und wiederholen alte Fehler – und säen damit die Wut und den Terrorismus von morgen, der noch Generationen prägen wird.

Hear, hear. Nobody bats an eyelid when, 4 days ago, Palantir, Meta, and OpenAI executives are commissioned into the US Army Reserves. But we're supposed to worry about what Chinese ownership of our cat videos on TikTok does to our data?

As much as it saddens me to admit it, after being raised to believe a lie for over 49 years, now that I've reached 50, I must concur entirely with this statement.

I'm amazed none of Trump's cronies has Freudian slipped and mentioned a "final solution" yet.

People like Kirk and the idiots at PragerU have and will also argue that Nazis were Communists, not realizing all along that they would have loved the NS policies and would quite happily have put on a brown shirt.

Fine. Tariff everything US and deal with the remaining 7.7 billion humans. Make America irrelevant again.

What blows my mind is the revisionism and gaslighting. Everything is now being debated, from the "sin of empathy" to RFK's love for the miasma theory. I'm now convinced that we ought to Alt+Ctrl+Del 35-40% of the US population.

Cute!!!
One of my neighbours used to have a "Satan cat". Truly demonic beast. Violent and hate-filled, he had sabre-like claws and a hiss straight from a horror film 😅
I can imagine him getting dropped from a belfry and tearing the crowd to pieces. Forget drones, this was an "Anti-personnel cat" 🤣
