Was thinking of this Bush-era line a lot today, after I was done amusing myself looking up all the freakasses who called Trump antiwar or dovish, when he's just another bloodthirsty piggish neocon.

Basically the difference between foreign state leaders being abducted by Trump and foreign state leaders being pardoned by Trump is the amount of bribes they are giving to him.

I am once again asking why Stephen Miller is a principal on foreign policy issues. He was at the meeting with Ukraine and Israel. His official title is Homeland Security Advisor, but appears to have a hand in any policy domain he wants.
the photographer was definitely like, "ok everybody, look tough!" but we know they're all just reading tweets with their arms crossed in a country club dining room divided up by bedsheets tacked to the beams

When people lead with hemming and hawing about how they maybe might have a point they’re intentionally or not providing cover for what we can all recognize as a pretext.

Teach your kids that no uniform, company, paycheck or workplace punishment can transcend your fucking values. Ultimately, all these ppl have is obedience. They can't rely on loyalty
You have to raise your kids with enough oppositional defiance that old men with no regard for them can’t pressure them into war crimes.
look man at that point you get yourself arrested

it's not as though "signing up for the military" didnt carry risks, you just thought they'd be mortal rather than moral

The murders of two people outside an LGBTQ+ bar at first looked like the act of a lone shooter.

A ProPublica and @frontlinepbs.bsky.social investigation shows they were, in fact, the culmination of a coordinated, international recruiting effort by online extremists.

Trump didn't even need to prime the US pundit class for months with weapons of mass destruction. Everything he's doing is illegal from bombing fishermen without evidence to invading a foreign country.

Yet all the "Maduro wasn't a good guy" justifications are pouring out now

This is how Latin American conservatives talk. They see the people of their own countries as the enemy who need to be violently put down and taught their place.
Insane how much these people hate their own country

We're Iraq now invading Kuwait but there's no America to stop us. Gonna need Reuters and that dumbass to tell me how awesome this is. We're criminals. Trump is using my tax money to murder people and steal oil.
Q: Is it possible that the US ends up administering Venezuela for years?

TRUMP: Well, you know, it won't cost us anything because the money coming out of the ground is very substantial

Kennedy Center changed board rules months before vote to add Trump’s name.

The new rules say only trustees appointed by Trump can vote, barring other members, including Democrats who hold seats, from decisions.
