If Democrats can't win on "the administration is full of and covering for kiddie rapers and they're using your tax money to invade Venezuela and pay fat Nazis to shoot your neighbors" then GET THE FUCK OUT OF POLITICS

Leavitt: "All proceeds from the sale of Venezuelan crude oil and products will first settle in US-controlled accounts at globally recognized banks ... those funds will be dispersed for the benefit of the American people and the Venezuelan people at the discretion of the US government."

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.

Folks we got France and Germany to team up against America, that's how fucked everything is
(Reuters) - Allies including France and Germany are working closely on a plan on how to respond should the United States act on its threat to take over Greenland, as Europe seeks to address U.S. President Donald Trump's ambitions in the region.

I keep coming back to this idea

It's a reaction to the realization that your contributions to your job/capitalism have/will not yield a good return

So you just kinda...break

You use some money you've been sitting on at least attempt to purchase a glimmer of joy and it may even work

What if Midlife Crises weren't freaking out about age but rather just the common point when a lot of people realize they'd done everything they were "supposed to" and still found it's all bullshit so they go buy a Corvette and some jetskis because fuck it

Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

I need a mood booster, let's talk about capybaras.

Here's a capy demonstrating one of MANY ways they can move through the water: running along the bottom.

They're 'semi-aquatic' mammals, just like hippos, seals & beavers. They LOVE water.
