Good point. It seems like the GOP's military strategy is based on 1950 war movies.

More wasting our money, and more inconvenience to our service members, while continuing to weaken us by dragging us into the past.

This is absolutely ridiculous. For all its potential pitfalls, the Ford aircraft carriers are built entirely around the EMALS system, and "replacing" it with steam catapults - which require large amounts of space and personnel - is simply not a realistic option. www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...

Good thing the "administration" read about the crisis in the news

It's almost like the government doesn't want us aware that they are systematically abusing her citizens

The usa is a threat to world security.

The Americans have had an economic blockade against Cuba since 1962. Prior to that they were an economic parasite to the Cuban people treating it as a banana republic complete with companies run by monsters...a bit like the modern day US administration.

#Trump is a threat to National Security.

Also I'm pretty sure they struggle with getting gasoline and food, and enough electricity to keep their hospitals running, in part because of the United States government.

"Cuba is a threat to U.S. national security," says Rubio. Cuba is no threat to anyone. It has no drones, missiles or atomic bombs. Another lie to manufacture unilateral consent for an invasion. The world must put these terrorists in jail. #cdnpoli

NEW: General Dynamics opened a Texas factory to churn out artillery shells for Ukraine, but the machines kept breaking. Robot arms smashed into things. Hunks of metal crashed to the floor. There was even a real-life dumpster fire.

Speaking of the gender bathroom debate... [August 11, 2026]

“Bearded, burly” trans men enter women's facilities to show "absurdity" of bathroom bans - LGBTQ Nation

They're part of a protest group illustrating the absurdity of Kansas' anti-trans bathroom ban.

Ah yes, the two genders: Bugs and Women

Do the guys on that warship like how he plays on his phone all day, posting AI stolen valor pics of him dressed up as a General?

The Clacton by-election has 34 candidates and the ballot paper almost 3 feet long. 😄 My favorites? Nick The Incredible Flying Brick, Baron Von Thunderclap, and Howling Laud Hope. The Raving Loony party has the best character names.

I hope the guy who wears a garbage can/bin on his head wins that UK election today. I'm tired of being the only weirdo fucking country. At least their weirdo fucking thing would be better than giving the seat back to that fuck head Farage. Whereas our weirdo thing...😒

I adore you. I miss you. Social media makes me want to rip my eyes and brain out.

He's been setting up for a "cyber security" emergency surrounding the elections. There's a reason he dismantled those departments.

I wonder if any of the countries trying to attempt diplomacy with current USA representatives have tried starting with "Look, you stupid fucking insane assholes [insert foreign policy issue here]." Maybe they should try it.

First carrots of the season.

Welcome to adulthood. We’re all stressed here.

Millions will get turned away or intimidated before voting by small penis men with big guns who are larping GTA at Trump's behest.

Pregnancy is a disease in the sense that humanity is a virus. 🤔

They profit from involuntary prison labor and offer a wide selection of products that might make me shit blood? They’re offering the complete American experience!

I guess it's clear why Taylor Farms threw so much money behind anti-regulation lobbying.

Taylor Farms recalls salsa and guacamole over salmonella risk reut.rs/4fO6aR6

I'm almost done with a painting I've been working on (on the weekends) for nearly two years, and now I'm at the awkward "Am I done or not?" phase. Ironically (?) this is not a stress I needed.

I just walked on the treadmill for 25 minutes and it did NOTHING for my stress level. I still want to punch something in the face like the patriarchy.

I keep reading about people who "regret" voting for trump. Well, you're on trump's choo choo train now, sunshine, and you fired the boilers. Strap in with the rest of us.

I hope that the next president, after the complete MAGA purge, will immediately seize all of Trump's ill-gotten gains and return it all to the American people to whom it rightfully belongs.

I have a theory about why the DSA/Progressive/Lefist movement will, likely, unfortunately fail (in comparison to the MAGA movement) that involves one side's history of (mostly warranted) knee-jerk alarmism vs the other sides history of easily falling in line. But I'm too tired to elaborate.
