So here’s the thing
If the markets expect TACO, and thus don’t react to, say, possible war crimes, he’s not inclined to TACO and is not dissuaded from doing said war crimes.
(Not that the markets should be the guardrail. Lookin’ at you, Congressional Republicans.)
Before the crazy times and corruption of media, “fucking up” would be the candidate that lied through the entire debate, not that candidate that shit the bed but recovered in 30 minutes.
Maybe because people are finally starting to realize the post-Covid Biden economy was as good as it possibly could be due to Biden doing a good job.
Hong Kong: It is now criminal offense to refuse to give Hong Kong police passwords/decryption assistance to access all personal electronic devices incl cellphones & laptops. This legal change applies to everyone, incl US citizens, in Hong Kong, arriving or just transiting HK International Airport.
OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters."

To be fair, the Falun Gong chapters in HK and Taiwan have always been unproblematic and normal for most of my life. Then the American chapter got a taste of right-wing political lobbying and campaign fundraising, then reverse parasitized their global chapters.
This is shitty writing with completely inaccurate comparisons to what President Clinton and President Obama had to do vs what trump is choosing to do in Iran. Not to mention the bullshit criticisms of President Biden, the only anti-war executive in my lifetime.
I remember having to watch SOTU speeches as a school assignment as well. But those had educational value, even just for non-political, literary purposes. What possible educational value is in a trump speech?
Yikes.
Once again, those who wait and reserve judgement till theres more information are using social media the right way. You were right to do so @paulaptb.bsky.social and everyone who disagreed with you exhibit the same reactionary tendencies that are ruining our country.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman
Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.
ICE MUST GO‼️
Yeah, anyone have an unused doctorate they can hand me down? I'd be eligible for a promotion at work.
musk probably paid another gamer to watch star trek for him.
This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”
Really listen to it.
a red banner in rural Hebei that reads: Arrest anyone who burns coal

You can walk from where the feds murdered Renee Good to where George Floyd called for his mother in about 15 minutes.
Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why." Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!" First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"
Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization." Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces. Proud to be an American today! USA 🇺🇸"
Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster." Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City."
Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position" Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"
amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders
I feel like "attention hacking" is most of politics now. The Minnesota aid fraud story is becoming a perfect example.
Recap: In 2022, the Biden DOJ filed the first charges against dozens of fraudsters, many of them Somali-American, who'd fleeced a state food aid program. (1/x)
Twitter in the past 48 hours has been like watching a remedial version of SPECTRE convene a meeting in real time.
Gotta say if the worst thing that ever happened to you was being forced by the government to take a vaccine during a once a century pandemic you have led a blessed life.
Or you’re a super pussy.
Or both.
Number of industries reporting growth, per #ISM survey:
Last year: 12.
This year: 4.
pretty remarkable that Costco has more of a spine in fighting for the rule of law than many major universities and fancy law firms
Well trump has effectively been exiled from his home nyc, then mayor-elect zohran(hottest political thing in nyc) comes to DC to pretend to kiss the ring. Of course, trump's been successfully manipulated and smitten.
Which Democrats want to “embrace and absolve” mtg?

He is a degenerate liar, suffering from dementia, chronically uninformed, every policy is dictated by his insatiable corruption & desperate cover-ups his numerous crimes against US, but HE IS 3 YEARS YOUNGER THAN BIDEN, THUS A BETTER CHOICE THAN HARRIS, DID I GET THAT RIGHT @jaketapper.bsky.social?
From: Sent: To: Subject: H <hrod17@clintonemail.com> Friday, August 28, 2009 4:39 PM verveerms@state.gov' Noori Ali Do you recall Noori Ali(?), the ten year. old Yemeni girl who got herself divorced? I met her at the Glamour awards last year. There was a CNN story last few days about how unhappy she is, still living at home, not attending school and quite angry that her life is not better. Is there any way we can help her? Could we get her to the US for counselling and education?
Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.
This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.
Consider the possibility that Lawrence is right and those still fixated on this are wrong.
rep voters cheer their party for aiding and abetting their pedophile leader. Meanwhile, Dem voters jeer their party for failing to protect them from the chosen consequences of their vote in the last years election.
Anyway, every single person like “the fact that there were only 8 proves there were more, the fact that Schumer voted against it proves he supported it, the fact that 39 Dem senators are angry about it means they are lying to you” is trying to spread their fear & misery. You don’t have to let them.
