Host: Aides are now excluding Trump, the commander in chief, from do-or-die meetings about military operations. Aides believe Trump's impatience wouldn't be helpful, and instead updated him at meaningful moments by phone.

lmao rare to see someone so easily baited in a congressional hearing, but RFK jr is a sucker

Based on the article, is it fair to say that hasan is an example of the Dunning-Kruger effect?

For instance, Piker has repeatedly exhibited a soft spot for left-coded expansionist authoritarian regimes. When he was asked recently if “there is a country that has done socialism in a way that you’d like,” he did not cite the Nordic states favored by the likes of Senator Bernie Sanders. He said, “China is probably the closest,” while acknowledging “plenty of issues within the Chinese system” that he did not detail before launching into praise of the country’s high-speed rail. Piker has likened China’s subjugation of Tibet to the North’s crushing of the South in the American Civil War, and argued that the takeover helped civilize the territory. (He has also compared Taiwan to the Confederacy.) He once referred to China’s mass-detention facilities for Uyghur Muslims as “concentration camps,” only to quickly revise that to “reeducation camps” and claim that they “are all closed now.” (They are not, and the detentions also continue throughout the formal justice system.) Read: One by one, my friends were sent to the camps Piker’s apologias for left-wing autocrats are not restricted to contemporary ones. Last month, he told his viewers that “Mao Zedong is one of the great leaders of this world.” And at the Yale Political Union this month, he declared that “the fall of the U.S.S.R. was one of the greatest catastrophes of the 20th century.” The tens of millions of victims of the Soviet Union went unmentioned.

Obsession over Piker's most contentious opinions about Israel and Jews has diverted attention from his broader worldview, which is deserving of just as much discussion and scrutiny. For example: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The Problem With Hasan Piker’s Einstein Story People scrutinizing influencers for their views should also hold them to account for their facts.

I wrote about how the debate over Democrats engaging influencers like Hasan Piker is missing the point. The question is not whether to talk to these people, but how to do so in a way that makes the audience smarter—one that scrutinizes not just the influencer’s opinions, but their facts. Gift link:

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

Conservatives think the state should protect them from the traumatizing experience of encountering people unlike them. For some reason this never came up in the heyday of “snowflake,” “trigger warning” or “safe space” discourse bsky.app/profile/kiss...

Today I wrote about why you should vote for Democrats and that is not in fact an abdication of your political agency

i was just saying to a friend a few days ago that trump's public opinion collapse opens up the field of possibilities in ways that are truly unpredictable. it is one thing for a president to be this popular at the *end* of their turn, but not even two years in?

I'm old enough to remember "Free Tibet". That fizzled out as much as you fucks will fizzle out on "Free Palestine" once you realize that no, Jews in Israel aren't going to just give up and die.

The way so many of you blame Jews for everything wrong in the world makes you no different than Nazis or the Czar's secret police. Pathetic.

Happy Sunday!

Go to their wall and spend some time✨

When you’re desperate to keep your job….

“We tried permanent Daylight Saving Time, and it doesn’t work. When we’ve tried permanent Standard Time, that lasts for decades.”

For that matter any time any Dem tries to abandon their liberal commitments to bribe the hicks this website starts screeching about how they’re all traitors because lefties refuse to acknowledge that their vulgar Marxist caricature of Based Trans Rights Blair Mountain Redneck does not fucking exist

Yes. There’s something so dispiriting about how some elements of the online left reify nationalist blood and soil mythologies rather than challenge them, as you know, nationalism is problematic even with the nations you happen to like at the moment?

TBH I really don't like "no one is illegal on stolen land" as a slogan. It mixes up a bunch of distinct issues and thus overcomplicates an already good position—no one is illegal—while simultaneously reifying blood and soil nationalism on land that isn't "stolen."

People on here are working their way around to bloodline citizenship, but wokely, by going on about how bIrThRiGhT cItIzEnShIp iS cOlOnIzErs, to defend Europe's fucked up views around immigration and citizenship, and they need to knock it off with inventing blood and soil nationalism but leftishly.

Toph

Meme pic about how "imperial core liberals" think fascism works is that if you vote agains them, they're finished. And the kicker is that the meme's framing (meme dude going "you're finished" to a pic of Hitler going "no, pls") is clearly meant to be sarcastic, even though that's... literally how it does in fact work in empirical reality.

Got reminded of another Far Leftist Memes That Are Hot Garbage deal.

As yeah, numbnuts, that's literally how it works is if fascists aren't in power, they literally can't do fascism as they literally have no power to do it with.

So if voting keeps fascists out of power, congrats, they're finished.

“imperial core” is such a red flag term

I'm genuinely suspicious of anyone who calls the United States "The Imperial Core."

On the subject, read the book "Brother Robert" by his step-sister. It paints a picture of the real man who is WAY more interesting than he is in the myths built around him.
