ITS THE LAKE OF AMERICA. ITS THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR. ITS THE GULF OF AMERICA. ITS SUPER INTELLIGENCE. You people sound like fucking North Koreans

honestly some of the most apocalyptic impacts of "AI" will be shit like this, and most of the doomsday dipshits predicting SkyNet can't be bothered to notice or care

‘South Park’ remains undefeated 😂 variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Never thought I would live to see the day when 18 service members lost their lives and it’s being dismissed as small potatoes.

I hope it’s clear to everyone who cares about the survival of our democracy that we need massive turnout and landslide margins to counteract the lies and cries of fraud that are coming after the midterm vote.

The secrecy about the health of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei shows just how corrupt the Iranian government has become. by Mitch McConnell

The policies of the party of fear will cause delays, some of them hugely destructive, in addressing the most important issues of our time. But in the long run, change is coming. ncnewsline.com/2026/08/04/n... (commentary) #ncpol

As Ed Elson & @justinwolfers.bsky.social point out on @profgalloway.com's Prof G Markets... ...disordered psychological thinking underpins the failures of both the tariffs & the Iran war. As I wrote on page 128 of @bandylee.bsky.social's, "The MUCH more dangerous case of Donald Trump"... 1/

People have debated the nature of the vibecession and why economic mood is more pessimistic than the traditional indicators would suggest. I think an underrated part of the story is being gaslight constantly about how our major recent innovations, crypto, sports betting, and AI are advancements. 1/x

Trump is saying the 2016 election (when Obama was president) was fair, and the 2024 election (when Biden was president) was also fair, but the 2020 election (when some guy named Trump was president) was a piece of crap.

🚨 We analyzed the Supreme Court’s decisions over the past 20 years and found that for the first time, the court issued more consequential rulings on its “shadow docket” (unsigned orders often decided without arguments) than the traditional merits docket. www.propublica.org/article/supr...

Are They Gouging? youtu.be/GEbW1vD43Sw?...

Pentagon delayed publicly announcing U.S. strikes on Iran until after financial markets had closed. The timing was intended to reduce the immediate impact on financial markets, including oil prices.

One year ago.

I would like a side-by-side account of the cost of: the Iran war, the reflecting pool, the ballroom, the Qatari plane, the WWE fight; DOJ settlement payoffs (like to Ashli Babbitt) and any other vanity projects I'm missing; compared with all of the "waste and fraud" supposedly saved by the DOGE cuts

Cocchiarella: The failing, aging king—decaying in real time—has decided to throw himself a giant blood-sport party on the palace lawn to prove that he is still strong. And heaven responds by sending a heat wave, a thunderstorm, and a literal plague of insects down on top of him.

From @marcus4america.bsky.social : “Black athletes should boycott the SEC.” 🇺🇸 #Tennessee #Alabama #Mississippi #Louisiana #Texas #Florida #Arkansas #Kentucky This is what @realdlhughley.bsky.social and others have been saying.

It helps to think of every Trump appointee at DOJ as a contestant in a reality show. They have to keep providing Daddy dopamine hits or they'll get fired.

for anyone who's wondering why #Iran would want to be paid in #bitcoin for the #StraitOfHormuz here's a thread with a couple of posts explaining it https://universeodon.com/@cryptadamist/116377780219147720 #IranWar #uspol #Hormuz #eupol #IRGC #USDT

New from me at @rawstory.com: Two former Venezuelan generals facing justice in US courts have suddenly embraced a debunked election conspiracy that could be used by Trump as justification to seize control of the midterm elections. (gift link) www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

President Donald Trump has cast another mail ballot in Florida as he continues to publicly bash the voting method as a source of fraud and push Congress to curtail the practice.

A week ago, Trump lifted sanctions on Russian oil, rewarding Russia for helping Iran locate & kill American service members, and tonight Trump lifts sanctions on Iranian oil, rewarding Iran for actually killing American service members. Once again, Trump is a traitor to America.

I have never seen a politician more directly copy this speech in my life

The NFL announces that next year's Super Bowl halftime performer will be Zohran Mamdani.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Bruce Arthur, Toronto Sun: “I almost appreciate how Trump has exposed how vacant every single high profile conservative belief was: free speech, states’ rights, letting the market decide, NATO, right to bear arms, democracy, all of it.” I would include religion

The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

Sixty-seven people could end this madness at any time. We don't have to live like this. Republicans (and some Democrats) in Congress have made the choice Trump, and the wreckage he brings, is Good.

Bullshit is way up

I was told that the US is running Venezuela now and it would be easy and there'd be lots of money... and now the US govt is telling Americans to get the hell out. These guys don't even know what a plan is. It's all just wish casting. It's incredible that they currently run the world.

Remember when Trump/MAGA criticized the “uni-party” predecessors for being the world’s “policeman”.... .....and “promised” that Trump would put an end to “regime change”....“nation building”....and “forever wars”? “Promises made, promises kept...”? Let’s unpack.... 1/ www.cnn.com/2026/01/05/p...

MUST-WATCH: In 60 seconds @mehdirhasan rattles off some of the criminal fraudsters Trump pardoned, showing they don’t really care about fraud (unless you’re Somali)

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Our investigation finds that Trump's actions in Venezuela and Greenland are the product of a long-running Russian influence campaign that began during his first term. Read + share the complete report. america2.news/the-russian-...

Broken record: The obsession with "kitchen table issues" imagines an electorate too obtuse or amoral to be reached by any appeal to abstract principle, morality, or any longer-term consideration than the immediate health of their bank account. If that's accurate, the game's already over.

It’s 2026. This current Era feels like the most unstable period I’ve experienced. We’re dealing with disruptive technologies that are running out way ahead of regulations and the culture’s ability to handle them. Know nothing populism is rampant. Yet, I’m pretty hopeful despite the chaos. 1/x

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

Donald Trump: the president who destroyed ISIS in record time in his first term and also the president who is boldly taking on the ISIS terrorists in his second term.

I just came out of the briefing with Sec. Rubio and Sec. Hegseth on the military strikes in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. Here's what I learned. Bottom line: there is no legal or national security justification for what they're doing. Not even close.

Trump 0-3 on indicting Tish James and just had his ass handed to him by Indiana Republican legislators he threatened and bullied. Also new low in AP poll at 36% approval.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.
