if you think Tucker Carlson's heel turn is an act of genuine introspection I have some sawdust and mouse poop filled wellness and vitality supplements to sell you

Trump just claimed he would have won the war in Vietnam and would have done it in 5 months.

Guess those bonespurs cost us a lot - really were a pivot point in history, huh.

Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

“Love and kindness are the most punk thing you can do right now," David Byrne quoting writer / actor John Cameron Mitchell at #Coachella. “He’s right. Love and kindness are a form of resistance.”

Amen.

John Roberts is and always has been Sam Alito with better PR

he has declared himself and his fellow republican justices the unelected rulers of America and they have wielded their power in favor of making Donald Trump of all people untouchable

the court as it exists today must be broken

Rogan’s bold stand against Trump’s “Gestapo” and his “great betrayal” with the Iran war lasted about a mouse’s heartbeat.

The speech is a dramatic celebration of imminent murder which is exactly what Hegseth wanted to channel.

"And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits.”

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Going to bet China played a big role and that Iran will now receive significant Chinese military aid going forward if this holds

Iran made the same statement when it acceded to the NPT, when Khamenei issued the beaten-to-death fatwa and when Zarif signed the JCPOA. We lacked trust, not promises.

Predicting that -
- We won’t do (1) because of X leftists
- We won’t do (2) because of centrists

Watching Hegseth at the podium with the sound off is like watching an alcoholic secondhand Mercedes salesman complaining to a cornered customer that it was very unfair he didn’t get to graduate high school despite being the star quarterback.

Meep meep

These are people who genuinely love murder

This is a prayer Hegseth actually read today at his Pentagon worship service

Calm down, it’s just war

Anyways, Leo is actually not the first pope to criticize an American war. Paul VI criticized the war in Vietnam and JPII criticized the invasion of Iraq. Previous presidents just realized that engaging in a weeks-long flame war with the pope would possibly be a bad idea.

We’re entering a whole new kind of FAFO for Hegseth and Vance

The Catholic Church has been stirred to something near a full throated declaration that this is an unjust war

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology.

This is a serious escalation.

4. Last Resort ❌ (the Geneva talks we’re getting somewhere and they used them as a ruse)
5. Proportionality ❌ (“a civilization will die tonight”)
6. Reasonable hope of success ❌❌❌

Let’s do Just War criteria as set out by Thomas Aquinas and later Christian scholars:
1. Legitimate authority ❌ (that was Congress)
2. Right Intention ❌ (those gleeful killing videos put that to bed)
3. Just cause ❌ (there was no cause - JCPOA was delivering until Trump destroyed it)
(Continues …)

That’s what the JCPOA did and your guy’s response was to tear it up and impose “maximum pressure”

That’s a lot of brass for a newly converted Catholic

Does the Texas Funeral Commission oversee people getting buried alive?

“… work with Trump’s cabinet to remove him …”.

An admirable idea until you remember that Trump’s cabinet **won’t even tell him the shoes he gives them don’t fit**

Oh my
