The US Military is clearly run by ignorant imbeciles.

From The Guardian. These ten Democrats chose “propriety” over defense of our democracy and maintaining party unity by stabbing one of their own in the back. They should be opposed in the next primary. Weak and pathetic!

National Law Enforcement Accountability Database Update!On January 20, 2025, Executive Order (EO) 14074 was revoked by President Donald J. Trump. As a result, the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (NLEAD) is no longer active. User age...

Police reform has just died at the US Department of “Justice.” This is how a dictator makes it possible for bad police to stay on the job. How does this improve the price of eggs?!

Screenshots of Google Maps, Apple Maps, Google Earth, and National Geographic Atlas. Only Nat Geo remains sane.

Shame on Google and Apple. I won’t forget your craven stupidity.

A bold idea for California. Trump says states should take care of themselves in a natural disaster. Ok… let’s go with that. I suggest you withhold the dollars you would have sent to the federal government and use those funds to help your people first. And call it “states rights.” You’re welcome.

Red states have always been the ungrateful leeches on the blue states. Maybe they need to FAFO.

Agreed. Most Democrats are obeying in advance.

Trump Starts Immigration Crackdown, Enlisting the Military and Testing the Law The president’s Day 1 actions included directives that fly in the face of legal limits on involving the military in domestic operations and the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship.

White America: Homework. Find family members who came to the US without a visa or papers… but who passed on birthright citizenship to you. Why end birthright now? MAGA hates brown people becoming citizens. This move is plainly about “American as apple pie” RACISM.

A Nazi is a Nazi is a Nazi… the point is to bring it out in the open so when we see the next one from him, people will salute him back. This is how MAGA will display its Nazi core and expect the same from you.

The purpose of the salute is to desensitize us to the ones that will inevitably follow. It’s about getting us used to seeing Naziism out in public.

The most effective strategy when negotiating with evil or those who do evil is basic Tit for Tat game theory. When they do something bad , you do it back to them. When they reform, immediately reward with good behavior. Nothing else works.

Some Israeli soldiers refuse to keep fighting in Gaza A growing number of Israeli soldiers are speaking out against the Israel-Hamas war. They say they did or saw things that crossed ethical lines.

When do we get to call a duck a duck?

Serious request. Have a referendum on secession or joining another country. I would love to hear about what Californians want. Don’t be surprised if they favorably remember the Canadian and Mexican firefighters who showed up for them versus the GOP-istan states and leaders.

A warning from The Atlantic. I wonder what the US will look like in March 14, 2025?

Unpopular opinion: Their commitment to DEI was an inch deep at best to begin with. This wind blows away what was always a “smoke and mirrors” effort.

Was Donald Trump's historic sentence too harsh or too lenient? It depends who you ask — USA TODAY The president-elect's sentencing after being convicted of 34 felony counts in hush-money case draws a wide range of reactions from supporters, critics

This is classic media “both sides ism.” There is a verifiable reality as to how many people with a similar crime receive a similar sentence. It can be compared to others in an objective way without simply throwing up your hands and saying it depends on who you ask. Fail.

My post that commented on Meta’s new “speech policies” was removed as, get this, spam….

Cowards. If this is the new policy then own it out in the open!

It’s a good reminder from Audrey Lorde… The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.

The meme isn’t mine, but I find it so inspiring right now. …especially the refrain of “Become Ungovernable.” If a single bird can resist like this, imagine if we did the same… Become Ungovernable!

Meta to end diversity programs ahead of Trump inauguration Meta Platforms is ending its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, including those for hiring, training and picking suppliers, it said in a memo to employees posted on an internal company forum on Friday.

Shocked! Shocked, I say!

This is the definition of “obeying in advance.“

Joy (with love for you) this only reinforces the notion that the justice system is pathetically weak and is really two systems… one for the rich and powerful and one for the rest of us. It’s a technical “victory” spun from a larger obvious failure.

Unpopular opinion: Having a “sentence” with no meaningful consequences is worse than no sentence at all. It shows that our judiciary is feeble and irrelevant when it comes to dispensing justice. Oh, and one more thing… can we dispense with the farce of having a single system of justice?!

Another example of profits over people. Shameful!

They keep drawing the wrong conclusions. It’s why we do not have a left party in the US.

What Does Tit for Tat Mean, and How Does It Work? Tit for tat is a game theory strategy in which a player chooses the action that the opposing player chose in the previous round of play.

Unpopular opinion: Democrats bear significant responsibility for the extreme rightward shift of the GOP. By not punishing bad behavior, they failed the basic school yard lesson of Tit for Tat as a strategy. Dems! Time for Tit for Tat as long term approach.

It means that the current system has no real guardrails. Better to know the stone cold truth.
