This is actually on of the reasons Trump is so dangerous. The US military is a terrifyingly powerful instrument in the hands of a genuine moron. This is a problem!
one thing i think lib-of-center posters tend to underrate is that, even when led at the top by absolute morons, the american military tends to be extremely tactically competent

totally unclear what the strategic results of midnight hammer are, but on an operational level it came off flawlessly
russian war bloggers on telegram are very mad right now, but I suspect it's mostly because russia tried to do the exact same thing in the opening phase of the invasion (see Battle of Hostomel Airport) and failed miserably

I am determined as God is my witness to start the Trump fake hand conspiracy theory. His hand isn't showing signs of an undisclosed illness. It's a fake painted Halloween costume hand because his hand was already removed. It's time.

Politicians are terrified of an electorate they think is far more authoritarian and angry and right wing than it actually is, because they are out of touch because the literal media - the thing that mediates between public and polity - is corrupted

"weaponazation" "STILLL" it's cool how the government is just infested with illiterate crazy people now
This is not how a normal Justice Department talks about an ongoing investigation—or about putative targets and their uncharged conduct.

the thing is that there was no campus orthodoxy there or anywhere--it was all a ruse, a straw man, a made-up problem that received outsized coverage. and now here we are

Some of you will believe any horrific allegation about our president merely because it's fully consistent with who he is

Saw this without the context just now and thought "man, that sounds uncomfortably on the nose to our politics"
ultimately, the system could not reform itself because, on a political level, it was not willing to reform itself.

The thing where Trump names everything after himself isn’t a funny little quirk but an incredibly reliable indicator that a leader is in fact a dictator. It doesn’t happen in any democratic society, no sane leader does it

All of them are so stupid! They are all so convinced they have the smartest bestest genes, but they're dumb as shit! It's so insulting!
One of the clearest indicators that Bari is not particularly bright is that she really thinks she’s getting away with it, that America views her as a principled liberal dedicated to upholding robust debate
Bari Weiss going from purported brave defender of free speech and open debate to chief censor of reporting about a federal concentration camp is so grimly hilarious

"Why did God let Trump be president?"

He gave us two thousand years advance warning of the antichrist, made him the individual with the most readily accessible, up-to-date public information about his multiple shortcomings ever, and gave us a mulligan the first time.

We were given an out.

When Epstein died, I was 100% certain it was suicide. Because jail sucks and it's not an uncommon thing for detainees to do.

But the way the Trump administration has behaved pretty much every time anything Epstein-related has happened, even I'm starting to be like "...but *was* it suicide?? 🤔"
Look, I'm not one to quickly believe in conspiracy theories about us attacking Venezuela on a made up provocation to distract from the Epstein files, but the timing of all this is not helping me convince myself that it's not true.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."
