Repubs will start using stop-loss again, like they did during the Iraq War.

Ford’s move into the Middle East comes after it set a record on Wednesday with 296 days on deployment. That broke the post-Vietnam War carrier deployment record of 295 days held by USS Abraham Lincoln. Ford departed its homeport in Norfolk, Va., in late June for a routine deployment to Europe. Since then, the carrier has operated in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Red seas. It likely will go into a record-breaking 11th month of operations, the Navy’s top official has said. This is at least the second time Ford has been on duty in the Middle East during its current deployment. In early March, Ford entered the Red Sea, continuing its role in Operation Epic Fury, the joint U.S.-Israel campaign against Iran. On March 12, a fire broke out in the ship’s main laundry areas, causing damage to multiple compartments and displacing some 600 personnel. Three sailors suffered injuries that were not life-threatening.

Btw, the USS Ford set a record for longest post-Vietnam (which Trump could have won) deployment last week. I'm sure that has nothing to do with its toilet problem or laundry fire.

These sailors have been away from home since June.

Regular #FBI agents are in trouble if they are too drunk to respond to an emergency in the middle of the night. Of course, those rules shouldn't apply to the director.

No to Nazis, no to rapists & no to their protectors, no pedophiles.

So sorry B.

It is part of me being almost on the spectrum. All that I can think when she is on the screen is "she can't move her face."

Stop letting Nicole Kidman be on the screen. She cannot move her face to express emotions, it freaks me out.

I’m just realizing this.

Fox News has been pitching this guy as a typical Democrat to its ceaseless audience of rubes and thumb suckers for 30 years hasn’t it.

Democrats getting more backlash for attempting redistricting in Virginia in response to completely unprecedented GOP powergrabs than Republicans have gotten for gerrymandering for decades is extremely grim shit ngl.

#Virginia polls are open grom 6am to 7pm. Vote YES today.

I retired October 1st. It feels like cheating to be getting a pension.

If Putin, a #MalignantNarcissist , cared about his citizens, he would stop his war. Over one million dead Russians and Ukraine has been reaching oil-reach targets up to 2,000 km away.

Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.

This Colin Robinson-looking mfer is lying because beef has absolutely not come down in price and I’m petty enough that I’ve been keeping screenshots to prove it. Date on first image: 11/22/24. The second is from today 4/20/2026. $12.78/lb v. $15.98/lb. That’s a 25% increase in seventeen months.

Do they not teach tort law at the University of Richmond School of Law?

Why can we not fully SNAP, if we can toss around billions of dollars?

Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?

We’re defending Western Civilization by kicking Plato and Shakespeare out of university classes.

Time for a luxury travel trailer that has a hot shower.

Discogs lists it as R&B. And R&B is the roots of rock and rock.
