both is the only outcome. the greater the escalation, the greater the humiliation in the end.

It’ll be humiliation or escalation and then humiliation delayed.

America’s options with Iran are still humiliation or escalation. Trump got the U.S. into a bad strategic position. That core dynamic hasn’t changed.

Congrats to Tim Cook, whose obituary will feature extended quotations from the president's uh praise

By that he means they give him and his family more money

Wife of LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer steps in to save NPR’s future with $80M gift NPR also received an anonymous $33 million donation in April

“I support NPR because an informed public is the bedrock of our society, and democracy requires strong, independent journalism," Ballmer said.

This year, we're not just going to send Mike Rogers back to Florida.

We're going to flip the 4th, the 7th, the 10th, the State House, and expand our State Senate majority.

The rest of the country is counting on us. Let’s show ‘em how it’s done.

Two Lessons from Hungary for 2026 and 2028 Unity and accountability.

I think there are two key takeaways for Americans from Peter Magyar’s ouster of Orbán:

1. We must rally overwhelmingly behind the 2028 Dem nominee
2. We have to be ready to send people to prison if we win

Infowars/Onion combo logo in rainbow saying “I support the onion’s hostile media takeover.”

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

Why would Iran agree to any deal at all with Trump?

He tore up one deal then killed the government he was negotiating with over the next one.

What nation would or even could give Iran a security guarantee against the US bombing our way to unilateral revisions?

kissthehippie • 1d We humans are hardwired to look for meaning in patterns, a phenomenon called apophenia. When we see perfect symmetry, our brains immediately demand an explanation, which makes an otherwise mundane item feel like a message or a signal, however, because it is perfectly centered, the likelihood of this being a random drop is extremely low. It suggests human intervention. Whitetrench • 1d I think theyre worried its like a subtle mark that a robber would use to signal rob this one or something kissthehippie • 20h Exactly. That's the point I was trying to make at the end I apologise if I didn't word it properly, it's the intent. While our brains love to find patterns, the way that thing is placed feels way too deliberate to be a coincidence. It definitely crosses the line from seeing a random pattern to someone putting this here for a reason, if I was the op I'd definitely set up some CCTV for peace of mind!

some guy posted on reddit that he got back to his hotel room and there was a dollar coin in front of the door so naturally a bunch of lunatics are trying to convince him he's being marked for human trafficking or whatever

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

BBC Investigation: “Some analysts say it bears the hallmarks of illegal insider trading.”

First, let's note that the Trump library saga combines the worse of his imperial presidency all in one: his use of lawsuits to extort private entities for tribute; his garishly awful decorative and architectural taste; and his Nero-scale megalomania.

And the thing is!!! With Ossoff actually running right now, it's clear he understands this is a winning message.

Appeals to Trump! She is evil too.

Appeals against injuries done by the whims of the ruler should not be made on the basis of favoritism but on those of due process and equal justice.

Caitlyn Jenner Appeals to Trump, Saying She Cannot Travel After Passport Gender Changed to 'Male' Jenner's passport reissued with male gender marker, sparking a personal and political conflict.

Lindsay is doing the best analysis I've seen of the back and forth on talks. This is from the middle of one of her threads.

I don't know what it will take to make Trump get serious. Probably a major market crash.

But he'll announce something tonight and his marks in the market will do his bidding.

Impeach the bastard & his bootlickers.

We MUST bear witness by documenting the incompetence, the greed, the corruption, the complete lack of morality.

We save America for future generations by lighting the way with our determination to hold them accountable.

“A new watchdog report from the Government Accountability Oversight Project alleges that President Donald Trump directed $3 billion in federal funds toward his own properties and political allies.”

It is a Kavanaugh complaint. Sure it is likely that people might be citizens, residents, or tourists, but after a few months incommunicado, her status will easily be determined, and she'll be released from one of the dozen ICE camps she was shipped to in the dead of night forty miles from anywhere.

The sign only has room for three digits.

Wait until CNN finds out what time it takes a car to go 13 miles.

As a patriotic American, who believes in free transit of the oceans, no military force to change international boundaries, due process of law, I believe it is in the US national interest for Iran to refuse to deal with any leader who threatens attacks on civilians during negotiations. Even Trump.

Here we go again with this deranged, hateful piece of shit.
