It's also contrary to everything I was ever told that conservatives valued. But, hey, when you compromise your values every time because of fear of trans people or whatever, I guess you eventually reach this position.

Nothing boosts troop morale quite like flu ravaging the ranks. It builds solidarity or something.

Yeah... she was not the most urgent head on the chopping block.

And WWI... we were hardly involved until the last year of the war.

What you have to understand is that the United States started a war, almost immediately lost it, then began the laborious process of negotiating against itself, and is now settling into the secondary denial phase …

I'm sure SNL UK will have loads of fun with this.

How depraved do you have to be to continue to go to bat for the guy who knifed you in the back at every opportunity?

I heard he is a profound expert on Two Corinthians.

May they metaphorically treat him the way he treated the dead raccoon. And the dead whale. And the dead bear cub. And God only knows what else.

A warning to all- paid actors or genuine believers- Trump will throw you under the bus.
And Trump calling something "tacky" is like the Green River Killer calling someone else a "psychopath."

Would Labour, the Lib-Dems, Greens, & Scotty Nats make Kemi Badenoch the UK PM? I doubt it. Would the Tories keep Starmer in power? Probably not.
Even if an anti-Farage coalition agreement could be reached, it would last about half as long as Israel's anti-Netanyahu government.

Unless something changes, Nigel Farage is going to be in Downing Street by 2029.

My guess is the Tories support Reform in Supply and Confidence, but maybe they form a coalition government. Any anti-Farage coalition would be too unstable to last.

This would translate to:

Reform: 248
Conservative: 115
Green: 93
Lib Dem: 65
Labour: 53
SNP: 45
Plaid Cymru: 8
Northern Ireland Parties: 18

The UK Center-Left really needs to figure its shit out in the next 3 years. I mean, Holy Hell.

Again: the gun you keep in the home for “protection” increases your risk of homicide by 3-fold, of suicide by 5-fold, and for men, risk of suicide more than 10-fold

The second you bring a gun into the home you’ve dramatically increased the risk of death for your family 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

And never forget- the Soviets not only started "The Great Patriotic War" in a non-aggression pact with the Nazis, they COOPERATED with the Nazis. They divided Poland between them and carried out the Katyn Woods Massacre against Polish POWs. Fuck Stalin.

Stalin apologists anger me as much as Hitler apologists do. Hitler betraying Stalin and putting the Soviets in WW2 on the Allied side doesn't absolve Stalin of the many mass murders and genocides he carried out.

To even begin discussion of whether or not a war is just, we need to be able to articulate the purpose, objectives, and strategies of said war.
We don't just bomb schools and make up objectives as we go along.

So either he has completely lost his marbles or he is attempting a (weak) Orwellian "correction" of history or both?

He seems to be fusing the Scalia and Ginsburg death situations, omitting the most important facts of both, and adding new "alternative" facts.

Today's AI slop: a Balrogle

At least in Idiocracy, the government was just stupid, but not malevolent. Trump's administration is both malevolent and stupid... headed by a madman with clearly declining mental capacity.

Trump is quite committed to destroying the independence and purpose of the Fed for his own short-term political gain. He is quite willing to overheat the economy as much as possible for midterm benefits, longer-term consequences be damned.

I'm sure that just him being a doctor or something...

Did he throw darts at a dartboard made of Republican buzzwords?

I'm no expert on Just War stuff, but I'm reasonably certain you have to be able to articulate why you're fighting the war* to even get into the conversation.

*And the explanation has to stay the same for, you know, more than a few hours at a time.

It will be extremely funny if Vance manages to get himself excommunicated before his book on becoming a Catholic releases.

Rule number 1 of hosting political events: always hold them in a venue smaller than your expected crowd.
Rule number 2: under-promise and over-deliver on numbers.

The pope.
The Iranian peace talks.
The Hungarian dictatorship.
A TPUSA rally.

There's absolutely nothing JD Vance can't kill.
