Trump calling the pope "weak on crime" is unfortunately a great bit, but we'll see better as the feud progresses. Trump only really has so many rhetorical moves at this point and is rapidly regressing into fey Broadway insults, but we could see "he's losing his 'look'" and "his 'hat' doesn't play."

Deals are my art form. Some people get their kicks in different ways, but for me it's always been doing beautiful deals.

If the Israeli Knesset members' lapel pins shaped as little nooses isn't where you say peace-out to that fascist state, you're just carrying residual nostalgia for some fantasy version of Israel that exists only in your head.

Trump is trying to say the Strait of Hormuz isn't the US' problem because the outcome of this war is no longer in doubt. It's past time to say that straightforwardly, since we're in for a tidal wave of obfuscation to portray defeat as victory.

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have is a very based son named Saxon. He unironically ordered a cheeseburger in an omakase setting."

I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc.
But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

The Thug of War
Pete Hegseth’s colleagues at the Pentagon are calling him 'Dumb McNamara,' and Biden’s secretary of state almost, sort of feels bad about enabling a genocide.

President Baby has no attention span and can't hear bad news so the only briefing his handlers give him is a daily 2 minute snuff film. Absolutely perfect storyline no notes.

The word genocide has legal and moral meaning. No one fucking cares how *you* feel about all the death and destruction. Your feelings don't change anything. Genocide isn't just a strong feelings word, it is a crime against humanity. Calling it a genocide is politically meaningful. Jesus christ dawg.
