one of the big lessons re conservatives and especially conservative christians is that they are more satisfied by being comparatively better off than others rather than being better off in absolute terms.
they’re perfectly happy to lose if you lose more.

An X user asks Elon Musk why they’re seeing tweets from left-wing lawmakers.
Musk: “Because we are failing very badly with the recommendations algorithm. Doing my best to address this.”

Convenient when the Decomposing Dictator pops off that members of Congress should be hanged for reminding those that take an oath to support & defend the Constitution must refuse ILLEGAL orders.

Not only that, but Greek sculptors in Afghanistan were the first to depict the Buddha in human form, and all of our imagery of him - including his robes - descends from this school.
"Greeks living in Afghanistan were Buddhist 500 years before China and a thousand years before Southeast Asia" is one of those things that sounds made up but is in fact true

We have to ensure that forces can be in the right place and at the right time.
It is quite simple: the faster we can move forces, the stronger our deterrence and defence.

Then again, we shouldn’t be surprised when the conman cons someone, especially someone vulnerable.
Watching the Epstein survivor admit that she voted for Trump really fucked with my head. The brainwashing against the left that apparently people endure from birth, must be way deeper than I ever imagined. A victim voting for a rapist, who has also been accused by 26 other women? Over a woman? WTAF?

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
