lol EVERY immigration offense is a "paperwork issue" you freaks. That's how they closed the border: with an avalanche of paperwork.

“Toxic Empathy” author Allie Beth Stuckey is now asking for folks to understand that ICE has separated a good man from his family over a paperwork issue.

It's fun how so many of us spent years having unadulterated scorn spewed on us from the shitassiest of TeamBlue partisans only to have the entire Biden Admin show up now and admit that *every single thing we ever accused Biden/Harris of was absolutely true*

Also ffs, arms deals to Israel are ALREADY required to comply with US and International law. The issue is YOU FUCKERS REFUSE TO EVER DETERMINE ISRAEL IS OUT OF COMPLIANCE.

I have a theory that when someone is being strategically defensive their list of concessions gets longer, but when they actually, genuinely surrender the list counterintuitively gets really short. At this point I'd argue the correct position on US-Israel only requires one bullet point: no more.

And it's even more fun that they're attempting to salvage their credibility/political legitimacy by admitting that they've spent years gaslighting everyone about this, up to and including handing the entire country over to Donald Trump just to prop up their lies.

Everything mindless and soulless about genocidal shitlibism in one exchange The only thing that matters is following the polls, and the public's opinion on everything is absolutely static and there's nothing the entire nationwide political/cultural machinery can ever do to change any of it.

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

These people literally sit there and watch the GOP change the public narrative about immigration to something worse every single day and STILL come away with the conclusion that it can't be changed. EVEN AS THEY GET DRAGGED ALONG WITH EVERY CHANGE

Say what you want about the leopards eating faces party victims, at least they're not saying "I still don't think leopards actually eat faces" while their faces are being eaten

Barack Obama *literally* had people assassinated on the basis of their political beliefs and what they said. We just simply don't need to hear from him about anything relating to due process or human rights ever again.

I will give the shitlibs exactly one break on this Tom Morello thing: I do understand how they saw this and concluded it was a campaign ad for Pete Buttigieg

It's even got a lowercase "e," which of course signifies that the liberal war machine is the "less evil" one and therefore we should mindlessly support it forever.

I too always assumed "weapons -- not food, not homes, not shoes, not need -- just feed the war cannibal-animal" was about getting to the polls and voting for Hillary Clinton

God, stfu Wesley. If you are "disappointed" to find out Tom Morello isn't a huge fan of Kamala Harris or genocide, there is something actually wrong with your brain. You liberal milksops can't POSSIBLY have insulated yourselves this deeply from the entire world as to think like this.

If you want to know what that 27% of people who still support Trump consists of, here ya go [Democrat consultants all furiously scribbling]

This would be surprising. I figured torpedoing their editorial voice was the whole reason they hired her. Why would you hire Bari Weiss and expect MORE people to tune in?

If we had even a half-conscious opposition party that wasn't a gerontocracy cultishly devoted to Israel, the last two years would be enough to wipe the GOP from political relevance for the next century.

lol, a friend messaged to point out that if you search for the term "gerontocracy," you get a picture of the husk of Dianne Feinstein. No notes.

In which Trump tacitly admits his economic worldview is predicated on not knowing what words mean. A deficit is not a loss. I'm running a trade deficit with Costco w/r/t rotisserie chickens. Every time I "lose" $4.99, I gain a chicken, which I value more than $5. I win. His illiteracy is terminal.

Counterpoint to the prevailing narrative about Ed Sheeran being a spineless chud: both-sides-ing colonialism and genocide while surrounded by Irish people is the bravest thing Ed Sheeran has ever done. Stupid and evil, sure. But I wouldn't have the huevos to do that so I can't call it craven.

This shit is evil. And it's a lie. If the US went to war with Israel she wouldn't be cheering for it. She just hates Iran. Every liberal like this is telling the same lie. If the people the US is murdering were people they cared about, they absolutely would NOT cheer for it to "get done."

Sen. Durbin: Do you believe those who have previously stolen from employers, solicited sex, or engaged in bestiality are qualified candidates for the FBI? Kash Patel: Thank you for the chance to clear this up. We do not want to punish the *victims* of bestiality. ...I got nothin.

The clearest evidence that Americans have learned exactly the wrong lessons from 9/11 is that so many of these ghouls openly pine for the way everyone felt on September 12th and nobody ever pines for the way we felt on September 10th.

Imagine having the power to relive any day in your life and choosing the most shocked, horrified, traumatized, bloodraged day in your country's modern history. These people don't want peace and harmony, they just want their bottomless hate and violence to have an excuse.

It's actually important not to let these people do this. This feeling never happened. It only existed for white people who only considered the feelings, grief, and human rights of other white people to be worthy of counting.

For a lot of other Americans (not to mention non-Americans) it was a time of abject horror and existential anxiety about what people just like Elissa Slotkin were planning to do to them.

In the aftermath of 9/11, there was exactly one person in the entire US Congress who refused to give into the rage and bloodlust. The vote for never-ending war was 518-1. It was the greatest act of political bravery in my lifetime and Barbara Lee has never gotten the love she deserves for it.

Seeing that McDonald's logo flying at half-staff outside our political prisoner torture camp (we abhor political violence, remember) just makes Lee Greenwood start playing in my head.

I never was able to get any of these weirdo liberals to explain what the hell "political violence" means if it doesn't include genocide, immigration enforcement, or endless war.

I gotta say, it kinda feels like drooling out "I am now in complete control" every 2-3 days for months on end is the opposite of what it means to control something.

One of the most radical positions you can take in American politics is that people are just people, and that regardless of where they're born they have the same rights and worth as anyone else. Any articulation of that view will alienate you from both parties and get you treated like a terrorist.

I'm glad college football is back, but I'm gonna need somebody to look into whatever they're cooking up over at Valparaiso, cuz it seems big. This is what happens when you let the Humanities faculty sign football players.

so is the acronym for the US Space Academy "S P A C E A C A D E M Y" or what? Also I'm 100% sure the Air Force Academy has a coat of arms too, so you don't have to put their football logo on there, Mr. President.

There is simply no world where "stop opposing genocide so we can beat Trump" can ever make more logical or moral sense than "stop supporting genocide so we can beat Trump." There is only one way this "division" can ever end and the longer you folks delay it, the worse it's going to be.
