I’m sure the Nazi pedophiles on X are totally open to counter narratives.
Cabinet Office Minister Baroness Anderson tells the Lords the Government will keep on using X.
"I still believe that X is an appropriate platform to use because I believe in freedom of speech..."
"It is incredibly important that there is a counter narrative on those platforms," she says.

I can't stand Miller's fucking bitch face and smug shit-slurping voice, but every once in a while I watch a clip of him just to remind myself that he's an actual embodiment of evil, an ahistorical, violent pervert who gets off watching poor people suffer and die.
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?
M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

"International police action" making a comeback, I see.

This past weekend, our child rapist (sure, alleged) president met with the guy who owns the AI that makes kiddie porn for anyone who requests it. You'd think all those QAnon nutzoids would be losing what's left of their minds. You'd think Democrats would already have ads pointing this out.

You are not serious people.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Like bush in 2002, Trump has enacted a regime change in a foreign country without a serious plan for what comes next. For example, U.S. oil execs are *not* preparing to take over Venezuela's oil industry, as Trump announced. And it's all downhill from there.

This shows a broad misunderstanding of how much the public actually gives a shit. We had years of coverage of how bad Noriega was before the Panama invasion. Most Americans don't know a thing about Maduro and don't care. So stop thinking you might need to kiss Trump's ass on this.
Some Democrats hate that their party is largely positioning itself in opposition to the operation that resulted in Maduro's capture.

Nothing is a distraction. Stop fucking saying that one awful thing is a distraction from the other awful thing. It's all awful shit and it's all significant. Just because you think something is more important doesn't mean the rest is an intentional distraction from your thing.

Man, I bet the security there is incredible. No way any of our enemies could penetrate those thin curtains to listen in.
They’ve got Twitter up on the big screens in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makeshift “situation room.”

Why even say "America First"? Why give any credence to that worthless MAGA phrase? Just say it's fucked up, it doesn't stop being fucked up because Maduro sucked, and someone should stop the asshole who is doing the fucked up shit and pissing on the Constitution.

Literally declaring that we invaded a country to defend and expand the profits of our corporations. That's textbook fascism.
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

Pure colonialism. I guarantee the protests will be massive in Venezuela. Not for Maduro, but against this bullshit.

I mean, he got it partially right: it's a song about rich fucks sending poor kids in the military to do their illegal bidding. Of course, Fogerty's also saying those kids should turn the guns on the rich fucks.

"Constitution, schmonstitution, amirite?"
👀 Trump's reax to D criticism of military action in Venezuela:
“All they do is complain. They should say, ‘Great job.’ They shouldn’t say, ‘Oh, gee, maybe it’s not constitutional.’ You know, the same old stuff that we’ve been hearing for years & years & years.”

Gotta tell ya: As much as I believe Trump should be in prison for a whole lot of things, including sex trafficking and war crimes, I'd like to think I'd be pissed if, say, France dropped a bunch of bombs while sending soldiers into DC to take him.

Okay, but the fuck are they saying? Does that mean they'll say if, for instance, the president is doing something blatantly criminal and anti-American? How will they judge that? Fucking morons taking over at CBS.
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.
One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”
