Nah, he knows. It’s about drawing outrage because that’s the only thing that wins them credit any more with their base.

Why start then?

As long as Americans are loyal to Israel, he’s doing his job according to him… So I guess even he thinks he’s a failure.

There’s a few regimes baked in there because his advisors have separate and sometimes conflicting orders, which is very representative of how Trump runs his cabinet. The christofascist wing is JD Vance’s side. Not to be confused with the Nazi wing of Miller, Homan, and RFK, the KGB wing of Gabbard, the Cici “believe not, your lying eyes” wings of Bondi, Patel, and Bongino. Ultimately, they were all sent out to do their own signature style of damage to America, and Trump and the other billionaires are hoping to get first dibs on the scraps. Given that there’s a dip before each announcement, I’d say it’s all functioning as intended still, he just doesn’t like other people being aware of what he’s getting away with.

There are very different war veteran experiences out there and very different ways of coping with them.

I feel like it was a fair reading of what you said.

He does, but only if a person chosen at random is also in the group chat, along with his whole family.

Be careful chasing the acidity of energy drinks. Full throttle is around 2 pH, not so good for your teeth or stomach health.

Shout out to all of the people who sold their plasma to make ends meet so it could be upcharged to dickhead billionaires trying to be immortal.

TPM chip relies on it for security. If you’re not using that it would work but you’d still have network issues.

Shouldn’t Trump be thanking Comey for going outside procedure right before an election just to say, “Clinton sure is sus” for no reason?

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I’ll try and do a better response later when I have some time.

In an ideal world we could replace SCOTUS members who, for example, lied under oath to congress. That would allow a lot of problems that seem impossible to solve to be pretty easily solved. I think the US is an example of a cascading system of measures to make it hard to undo the rot. For example: We need better rulings on cops, so we need a better supreme court, so we need to pack the court or get rid of the fascists on it, so we need a majority progressive congress, so we need campaign finance reform, so we need more people to vote, so we need laws against electioneering… I mean there are things that could be done that ate lynch pins for huge progress, but the system is certainly stacked against us. Not a reason to give up, but it explains a lot of the nihilism generally in our culture.

27.6 per 100 people vs US, which is 120.5. Where are you sourcing that from?

Thank you

Holding accountable to him means forcing them to speak in front of a committee, where they disrespect every member of said committee, and then wipe their hands clean.

Rolling Stone continues to be more accurate than “traditional” media sources, and doesn’t bury the lede under a mountain of apologia either.

It’s interesting to see how many Republican lawmakers and media figures are “praying for the families of the victims” when it serves to confuse readers, but when undocumented people are the victims of other crimes they never do anything but victim blame.

1: Your source uses FBI data.

2: The criteria is clearly spelled out in your own source, and it changed in 2013 to be more strict.

3: Our mass shooting problem definitely requires extensive work.

4: Extremist violence does account for the vast majority, and right wing is the vast majority of extremist violence, especially if you count religious extremists. However, the abundance of guns certainly adds more since we are not the most extreme religious country, nor do we have the most percentage of right-wing idealologically aligned people.

5: Forcing cops to care has never worked because, according to SCOTUS, they’re not required to do their job, even while on shift and present. Also, the most red flag sign of gun violence is domestic abuse, which most cops do on the regular, as well as right wing extremist ideation, which most cops engage in already. We’d be better off firing the domestic abusers and domestic terrorists that make up the majority and hiring social workers for most roles.

I wouldn’t personally expect our Elmer Fudd ass gestapo director to pick his words from a large dictionary.

From other sources, only non-officers were injured, so the titles are already blatantly misleading from mainstream sources.

If the media would like to try harder than not at all to correct the record this time, that’d be swell…
