Regime change! OK, no regime change. Unconditional surrender! OK, no surrender. Nuclear deal! OK, no nuclear deal. But we control Hormuz! OK, we don’t control Hormuz. But we’re squeezing them economically into concessions! OK, no concessions. But maybe a future president can get something, IDK.

Chris Wright now says there may be no deal with Iran after all: "There may not be a nuclear agreement. It may be simply destroying their capabilities to do it. An agreement may await the next administration in Iran. We simply don't know that."

Same, son

Amazing to live in a country where the secret police are handling inter-chud beefs. It's like the Night of Long Knives playing out in the parking lot of a Dollar General.

Laura Loomer is taking credit for Milo getting detained by ICE.

Enough.

I think this gets to the heart of liberal-left complaints about the press. Political reporters think we're criticizing them for not being on "our" side. We're not. We're criticizing them for not being on journalism's side. Unplug from the DC celebrity access system and do honest independent work.

Contrary to AGS’s insulting straw man, few people are demanding reporters become liberal warriors, we just want the profession to take its own existence and our fundamental rights — and the truth — seriously. No need to shill. Just take the stakes of the job seriously.

Clearly we meant to build a machine that does art and leisure for us just so that we can work more...

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.

RFK Jr: "Because of Dr Fauci's leadership and other reasons, we had the highest mortality rate from covid of any country in the world" #OtherReasons 🙃

I admire our government's new commitment to honesty.

The thing about a lot of these Washpost Opinion writers is that they aren’t just flaccid thinkers or mediocre writers, but they can also be really terrible human beings

Oh, so the suspect was a white guy then.

Markwayne Mullin on the suspect who lit a fire and took shots outside a federal building in NYC: "If this was suffering from some mental illness, maybe we can get this Army veteran some help"

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

When your brand is being pompous know-nothings pontificating on topics you're too lazy to even Google, well... I guess you might as well lean into it.

GUIDE: Welcome to the Great American State Fair! TOURIST: Incredible! And which state are we in right now? GUIDE: (violently shaking their head) Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Watching episode of ER from 2001. Dr. Chen & Dr. Carter are trying to diagnose an unconscious preschooler. Carter: “Could be measles.” Chen: “Measles? Have you ever seen measles?” Carter: “No, have you?” Chen: “Of course not, nobody’s seen measles.” So far backwards in such a short time.

If Trump stuck two french fries in his nose and said he's going to tell Westeros to invade Narnia, Fox would devote 10 hours a day to the Narnian threat and the New York Times would run articles headlined "President Considers Expanding Conflict Zone; Critics Raise Questions"

"The president told me he's disappointed Israel can't put Hezbollah away. He went on to say, 'They can't do anything without knocking buildings down' & that he is close to giving it to Syria. He's talking about empowering the Syrian president to actually go into southern Lebanon and fight Hezbollah"

And then President Trump is going to beat up Iran's dad in front of the whole school and then President Trump is going to take us all out for McDonalds and then President Trump is finally going to tell me that he loves me and then

Lindsey Graham: "I spent 4.5 hours with President Trump. Here's what I think will happen. If this deal fails, he's gonna take the Strait of Hormuz over by force. We'll charge a fee for all those who go through to pay for the operation... if Iran contests control of the strait we'll obliterate them"

I just—like, sure, being a trillionaire is cool I guess but what’s it all for if you haven’t even seen the wreckage of the titanic firsthand
