I can always tell when a new Disney / Marvel / Star Wars film has been released because YouTube insists on flooding my recommendations feed with all the crybaby fedora wearing snowflake channels who believe diversity is the reason a film fails.

The logical response from Fetterman, based on [his] line of thinking, should have been "Why was most of the line of succession allowed to gathered at a single event? This is a failure of the Secret Service" and not the "WE NEED BALLROOM!" MAGA-groupthink he ended up with.

Trump mentions a "friend" from Germany being the reason he wants to turn the Reflection Pool in D.C. into a swimming pool. I suspect that we have a Jo Jo Rabbit situation where his "friend" is an imaginary version of a failed painter from Austria.

Many "Two Weeks" later and we're still fighting Iran and Trump is still slurring his way through reasons why Iran is both completely destroyed but still fully capable of shooting down our planes and launching attacks on allied infrastructure.

Trump has reached the point where he wants to hide visual reminders of the cost of his war. That was quick, it took Putin about 6 months.

Fox News: "We should point out that at the request of the families, the dignified transfer is going to remain private. There will not be cameras there."

No mention from the AP about how Tim Sheehy broken the arm of McGinnis while attempting to wrestle him out of the doorway, something the senator had no business even getting involved in. Absolutely disgraceful actions against a Marine veteran.

So the United States started attacking Iran, while in the middle of peace negotiations. Wasn't it the US who decided such an action constitutes a war crime after Japan did the same thing in 1941?

I pray for the children separated from their parents by the American Gestapo, I feel bad for those who have to endur such horrors. Trump deserve neither.

Mark Cuban is trying to make an argument for why intentional tanking in the NBA should be allowed but it's so vapid that the exact same wording could be used to justify cheating. Integrity is everything in a sport like the NBA. If the fans lose faith, they won't watch.

Jake Paul is the embodiment of the fraud culture in the United States. The moment he tried to fight in a real bout he got his ass beat. He'll never achieve the level of skill that American olympians possess. That's why he sides with bullies, that hide behind a veneer of masculinity like himself.

Let's talk about how crazy this is. What if it was a Democratic President, doing campaign rallies on a daily basis, demonizing and dehumanizing a particular Republican representative and then an extremist attacked that rep? Republicans would be calling for an impeachment of that president.

Ron Johnson on Ilhan Omar getting attacked: "Let's talk about how crazy this is. Had that been a Republican member of Congress and an illegal immigrant spraying something at them, in Minneapolis what would probably happen is they would release that illegal immigrant."

When you have to show up with 30+ heavily armed and armored paramilitary soldiers (ICE) to arrest a single elderly man, you're definitely not on the right side of history.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

Colombian President Petro commenting on the US; “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."

Pretty sure the bad Santa is already in the country, in fact, he's been creeping on children for decades, sometimes on an island with other bad Santas. He also appears on a list, not one for those who are nice but those who are extremely, extremely bad. Talking about Trump if it wasn't clear enough

So this is quite possibly the dumbest idea to come out of Trump in the last 24 hours. Battleship are obsolete. They cost a fortune to build, especially when no expertise or facilities exist. They are expensive to maintain and provide zero utility.

Trump claims that ultimately he plans to build "20 to 25" new battleships

What can I say, the Helldivers 2 Main Theme (A Cup of Liber-tea) is an absolute banger and it never gets old. Second most listen to song was probably "The Right Side of History", one of the songs that plays during extraction in Helldivers 2.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Everyday is a new reminder that's we've slipped into a 1984-lite timeline where news is scrubbed by AI to make it more appealing to the racist masses.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

My first attempt at the ancient Roman recipe for globi. Basically whole wheat flour and ricotta cheese, fried in extra virgin olive oil, glazed with honey and poppy seeds. Needed more cheese and definitely better fresh.

Another takeaway from Trump's awful "peace" plan. The mechanisms for providing security guarantees to Ukraine is a nebulous "Ukraine will receive reliable security guarantees." Ukraine, not Russia will have restrictions on its military. Ukraine can't join NATO or have NATO troops stationed there.

The only punishment for Russia (if) they decide to invade Ukraine again is reinstatement of sanctions and implied threat of force from... not stated. Sanctions will be moot if Russia takes Ukraine fast enough because Trump will just shrug and go "Guess Ukraine doesn't exist anymore."

This is a f**king joke. Ukraine expected to give up territory Russia stole AND thousands of additional kilometers that they control and Russia has no realistic chance of gaining by force. In exchange, Ukraine gives away industrial and mineral rights to the United States. Trump is a Putin puppet.

I demand a Nobel Peace prize! I was instrumental in the creation of a ceasefire between two warring factions of sidewalk ants via aggressive negotiations with my boot.

Disney just f**king up in every conceivable way. First they cave into government censorship and now they're riding the corpse of Stan Lee like a toboggan down an AI generated slop mountain.

With 3 minutes left, the enemy had all 3 caps, a 350 point lead and 3 ships that could easily run and hide. Less than 2 minutes, it's just the carrier, and he wants desperately to be featured in a Game of Throws episode of The Mighty Jingles. [ World of Warships ] #WoWsLegends #Gaming

Been playing Helldivers 2 on Xbox, and for a game with friendly fire turned, I'm absolutely blown away at how chill and nontoxic this player base is. I haven't enjoyed an online game this much in years.

I don't know what pisses me off more, that meth heads stole this from a nearby charity and left it behind my dumpster or that they left brand new toys in a tote, thinking that they were worthless.

If a violent criminal is on the streets in an area that has cashless bail, blame the judge. It's up to them to determine whether to keep them locked up pending trail. Bail disproportionately affects the poor. A billionaire and a person living pay check to pay check could both commit murder...

apnews.comWhat to know about cashless bail after Trump's executive orderPresident Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday threatening to withhold federal funding from local and state governments that allow cashless bail, arguing that it is a threat to public safety.

...but only one of them will be walking the streets on a million dollar bond and that person won't be walking, more like being chauffeurd to wine tasting events and private jet trips to weekends getaways in Dubai.
