Crooked Edge

everything is a rehearsed projection quote

This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.

not a controversial take

The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

I think it's more comforting for some people to think of OBL as some evil genius or tragic victim of imperialism rather than a bog standard delusional ideologically extremist billionaire failson who thought he could accellerationism his way to a theocratic utopia

everyone is missing the boat on this harp thing fwiw. it's not an affair and she is not a nurse. it's way worse: she's elder abusing him. tale as old as time a psychotic weirdo striver has attached herself to an elderly dotard and is wormtonguing him. our american rasputin

amusing to see them attempt this move. we’re all trying to find the egregious shithead pedophile president who destroyed any semblance of decency and propriety in public life

pickaxe is that French?

in a lot of ways the current republican government is just the worst, extractive red state governance taken national. total hostility to public goods, total indifference to long-term investment, and a monomaniacal interest in using the state to enrich private benefactors

Looking forward to Argentina vs. Switzerland: Who Holds More Nazi Gold?

@edroso.bsky.social oldies!!

What a fucking slob.

The guys questioning Talarico’s masculinity would literally let Trump use their mouths as a toilet and thank him afterward.

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

Iran: We will blockade the straits of Hormuz if you attack us. Donald: No, WE will blockade the straits of Hormuz unless you surrender to us. Iran: Ok. That might save us some trouble tbh.

Iran posted this. What a humiliation for Trump.

I hope they name it the President Donald J. Trump Tollbooth in honor of the man who made it all happen.

I do think that those lawyers and law professors who tried to fabricate a historical or legal case against birthright citizenship should be socially and professionally ostracized for their shocking cynicism and intellectual dishonesty as well as for their bald hostility to pluralist American values.

WOW! This ad from Iran.

It's not just the news. CBS has crammed their primetime lineup full with faux manly-man content in an attempt to win over the billies lol. The pitiable actors on these shows look (and "act") like they were plucked from a Getty stock photo exhibit.

US media is my 3rd or 4th choice for new now. BBC and al Jazeera are way more up to the minute.

Winner, Best Special Effects in a Staged Assassination

Spotted this on a pole behind independence hall. I recently saw someone say they found collage to be the best way to work through things and I didn’t really see it at the time but

never trust a dude whose ears are bigger than his hands

“epstein class is iranian propaganda” is definitely something i’d expect the epstein class to say

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

Maybe Trump is the exit dose this whole fucked-up system needed? It’s like chemotherapy — the poison ALMOST kills the system but out of that chaos comes the death of the cancer? If this tears apart MAGA *and* neoliberalism then go man go.

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

Trump: "Don't worry about me, Jeffrey. If it looks like I might get caught I'll murder you and bomb Iran."

Apparently it's time to update our grocery lists

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

We can no longer afford to tolerate the existence of billionaires in society. Tax them into extinction.

🤣

lmao

I shit you not

this is not a tiktok it is a documentary

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

I'm sorry, Appeasement Democrats, but we already tried your way. Working to hide Trump's malfeasance from the public, sanding off as many rough edges as possible, working to avoid confrontation under the theory that he wants confrontation, then trying to move on as if it didn't happen failed. Badly.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
