Dying of pancreatic cancer in exchange for making trans people you never met miserable.

Hope it was worth it MAGA.

Nailed it.

He hasn’t succeeded on point #1, although he and his base have sure been trying.

First Draft: 🇨🇺 Is Cuba Next? Trump’s administration is discussing plans to attack and kidnap Cuban leaders, while also turning down an offer from Iran to end the war. Plus: Republicans debate whether to hate... the pope.

"according to two sources familiar with the situation...officials at the Pentagon... were quietly given a new directive that came straight from the Trump White House. The message: ramp up your preparations for possible military operations against Cuba." zeteo.com/p/is-cuba-next

How do you know?

What is the strategy?

Trump Officials Attended a Summit of Election Deniers Who Want the President to Take Over the Midterms The meeting’s participants included Kurt Olsen, a White House lawyer charged with reinvestigating the 2020 election, and Heather Honey, the Department of Homeland Security official in charge of electi...

Election deniers, liars and crooks are working overtime to try and thwart the midterms by having Trump EO a ban on mail-in ballots and voting machines.

While this summit took place in mid February, these Trump loyalists haven’t stopped plotting and planning.

Regime Change in Iran, Underpants Gnomes, and the Phase II Problem U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu started the Iran war off with a bang — not just the bang of bombs and rockets,

In a weird sort of way, I think "underpants gnoming" through military operations is sort of the inverse opposite of reflexive control. warontherocks.com/regime-chang...

Uhh... they killed thousands of protesters in January and execute gays. I've known quite a few Iranian ex-pats who fled the regime. I was a country officer for Iran in the Navy.

I have a pretty good understanding of the country.

I think that Viktor Orban did the math, and realized there was no way to challenge the election or overturn it without risking ending up like Nicolae Ceaușescu (i.e. a bullet riddled corpse, along with most of his cabinet and family),

This is just an astounding number. In the summer of 2022 when Russian artillery was the dominant factor on the battlefield, they has 10 or 20:1 superiority in fires, and roughly 75% of the casualties on the battlefield were caused by tube artillery.

Three days before Alex Pretti was killed by BORTAC officers - not ICE, to be clear - that same department rammed into the back of a teenager's car, arrested her and her passenger, and tackled a legal observer and kneeled one their head on an icy snow bank for no apparent reason.

Stephen Miller allegedly urged Department of Homeland Security agents to “force confrontations” with protesters in Minneapolis in order to win a “PR battle." trib.al/NcbpdiX

This is going to get me in hot water, but I don't think it's anti-Semitic to say that if Netanyahu did in fact conspire with Lindsay Graham to suck the US into a war with Iran, we should all be unhappy with the Israeli government.

Toth is absolutely a psychotic fascist. He introduced a bill to make it a felony to be transgender. He also suggested involuntarily committing every trans person in Texas.

Absolute Aktion T4 level Nazi.

Well, that's a good reason for starting to hate systemd

Autographs? Do you mean autocrats?

They will do everything in their power to endure they don't relinquish control. Near 100% chance GOP still controls the White House in 2029.

That's how autographs work.

Oh, those will still exist.

The amount of damage Trump has done in such a short period of time is breathtaking.

The extent of the damage can be hard to appreciate fully as we bounce from crisis to crisis, but it truly takes my breathe away when I pause to consider it.

Social media post: Micah @micah_erfan Republicans: "Trump could cure Alzheimer's and liberals would be mad about it." Meanwhile, Trump: More Perfect Union @More... The Trump administration has slashed grants for Alzheimer's and aging research by over 50%.

We're not mad.
We're furious.

LOL. Yeah, no. The Iranians have no intention of backing down. They have the ability to make shipping difficult or impossible for months, and the instant the first sea mine hits the water it adds 1-2 months to clear the strait.

I thought I could rule out the US committing a slaughter worse than any since WWII (blowing the water supplies and desalinization plants in Iran) as a way to get to "unconditional surrender", but, yeah, I underestimated the situation for once.

I'm not seeing much difference here, right down to the glower. I mean, FFS, they even put the flags in the same place under the portraits.

So, can we PLEASE stop with the "Yes, but is it fascism yet?" stuff.

Yes. Yes it is.

Guess What Madness Ensued in Canada After That Recent Shooting? None. Having moved to Canada recently from the U.S., I was braced for the worst after that recent mass shooting. Instead, what I saw shocked me.

It was refreshing to see how living in a functioning democracy responds to awful events: it was distressing to realize how used to dysfunction I have become. newrepublic.com/article/2066...
