i've done quite a bit of mentally ill problem drinking and never came up with "communists destroyed america, the best country on earth, and we should nuke China about it" but maybe i'll built different
SwiftOnSecurity@swiftonsecurity.com - 41m There's only one country on the face of the planet with real aircraft carriers. Actual force projection. And you're gonna miss it when they're gone. It's just China off the waters of your coast. Pax Americana is the greatest thing to happen to humanity. And I get to watch us all realize the price. • Kyle @kylerudy.bsky.social - 45m The rules-based international order will survive without us. SwiftOnSecurity@swiftonsecurity.com • 35m Every fucking diatribe and discontent will pale in comparison to what comes after us. My own critiques, our own sins. They will be absolutely nothing in comparison to what comes after. These are the old days, the bad days, the all-or-nothing days. They're back. And we will all reminisce the before. SwiftOnSecurity + Follow @swiftonsecurity.com There is no comfort in understanding that the American communist and socialist and provocateur is one of the greatest villains in the history of Man. They're just too fucking stupid to be convicted. They survive under a pageantry of the moron. SwiftOnSecurity @swiftonsecurity.com • 1h If one understood China's plans for the IndoPacific they would be violent American neocons that would put nuclear missiles on aircraft carriers.

Not true. I'll give you some examples of when styles crossed over from womenswear to menswear, and how men have worn straight-up womenswear or just feminine styles in cool ways. 🧵
A screenshot from Twitter. The original tweet reads: "Rapper Kenderick Lamar wore size 29 women's jeans to Super Bowl LIX." The tweet garnered over a thousand replies, most negative. I (Derek Guy) screenshotted that tweet and wrote: "so funny to see history repeat itself. men who wear slim fit and stretch denim—both of which were once considered strictly for women—criticizing kendrick for wearing flares bc they were on the women's aisle. in ten years, you'll be in flares clutching pearls about something else" Then another user replied to my tweet, saying: "Wearing women’s clothes has never been in style, homo."

not sure what's worse about the DOGE site: unsecured databases, leaking of classified information, or these chart crimes
Bar charts of employee tenure, salary, and age from the DOGE website. The y axis is unlabeled, and horizontal lines providing some sense of scale are unevenly spaced

In my fantasies, Pete & Chasten will have Kamala & Dougie over for weekly potlucks that Michele O. will crash with a bottle of wine & gossip, after which Dr. Jill & Joe bring the dogs over along with some homemade brownies to enjoy while they all sing Karaoke

As we explained, the real drivers of waste in the budget are in precisely the areas Musk was poised to ignore.

Those of you who referred to yourselves as “Cuomosexuals” and worshipped this horrible man simply because he spoke in clear sentences during the early days of the pandemic are responsible for this.

Especially those of you who blindly defended his book deal!

I will never, ever forget it.

I'm currently in a Budget Committee markup. This is what Republicans want to do:

❌ Slash $880 billion from Medicaid
❌ Cut $230 billion from food assistance
❌ Hand $4.5 trillion in tax breaks to billionaires & big corporations

This is a Republican rip off.

personally I think Kendrick should have looked directly into the camera and changed the lyrics of "Not Like Us" into a political treatise explaining his exact position on both separation of powers and the immortal science of dialectical materialism. missed opportunity tbh

His illiquidity is the danger. He has to keep doing shit like this. The Not Actually Real Money Bus must be kept above $200 billion or it will explode. All of this shit is basically debt and blackmail and it's forcing people like Musk into increasingly precarious and dangerous positions.

may be beside the point/extremely obvious but i feel like you can only ignore extreme wealth inequality for so long before it metastasizes into something that fundamentally remakes and destabilizes the world by giving people access to so much money that they are fully above consequence

weird that "denying unanimous consent" and "grinding the chamber to a halt" aren't on the list.

Framing cutting CFPB as a taxpayer benefit just so corporations can get back to freely ripping people off.

Meanwhile, $19.7 billion in consumer relief.
CFPB has $711M? That money should be returned to taxpayers. As of January 30, 2025, CFPB enforcement actions have resulted in: $19.7 billion in consumer relief Approximate monetary compensation, principal reductions, canceled debts, and other consumer relief ordered. 195 million people eligible for relief Estimated consumers or consumer accounts eligible to receive relief. $5 billion in civil money penalties Approximate civil money penalties ordered.
