Rieckhoff: A vet on CNN said we haven’t fought to win in 20 years. I said, I was fighting to win. You were fighting to win. Kander: That shit pisses me off. Rieckhoff: He said he meant the generals. Which one? It’s boogeymen—and now cosplay warriors who never served join ICE to bully immigrants.

This can't be stressed enough! MAGA idiots are dragging us back into the 1800s.

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

Picked up a Switch 2 with Mario Kart for myself and the kids a couple days ago. This is my first Nintendo console since the N64. What are the must have games to get started? #Nintendo #switch2 #mariokart #switch #gaming

Years ago, I made a tester account for this kind of thing. It is following only @NBA and nothing else. It has never posted or interacted with a single tweet. I just logged on to it. Here’s what the algorithm showed me as I scrolled for 30 seconds.

Trump in 2020: We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor.

Does anyone else have Spectrum internet? It's down, ALL THE TIME. If the power goes out anywhere within a 3 mile radius of my house, the internet is out. Every few weeks, a "scheduled" outage occurs without any notice.

Dear Decent Human Beings in the Military and Law Enforcement, If you are ordered to violate the Constitution by this president, please disobey. The millions who served, suffered, and died before you deserve your courage now.

If you're seeing this as anything other than stock market manipulation you're not paying attention at all. No deals were made. The tariffs weren't even in place long enough to do anything. On top of that, they're still there, just not based on a fake calculation anymore. 10% across the board.. (1/2)

... and 125% on China is disastrous. Don't think the market is going to forget about all of this. They're playing darts with a blindfold. Also, don't forget about everything else going on. Pure evil.

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration speech: “Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we did not turn back nor falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.”

And to the majority of Americans, it's going to continue to be party over country or complete apathy. At this point, blow the country up, divide it into a handful of smaller countries to resemble Europe. What's the point? The majority of the people here are complete idiots.

First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired. Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.
