The US pre-1917: We do not go abroad in search of monsters to slay. The US 1917-2001: But what if we did? The US 2001-present: But what if we were the monster who goes abroad in search of things to slay?

I have very strong opinions about things rational people probably shouldn't have strong opinions about.
Sure is weird how Ossoff said Trump only wants to travel with Natalie, and the entire right-wing grift-o-sphere immediately accused him of slut shaming.
I notice the usual suspects decrying the "HiSTOrIcaL InAccUraCY" of Lupita Nyong'o's Helen being Black have nothing to say about everyone speaking modern English instead of ancient Greek. Almost like their concerns of accuracy start and end with the color of her skin. Because they're racist.
I'm not saying we could solve global warming by throwing ICE into an active volcano, but it's an idea I'm willing to try.
Grim Reaper got tired of waiting for Mitch so he grabbed a consolation prize.
God@thegodshow.com · 2mo agoLindsey Graham died.
McConnell going before Trump would be like competing on a Nickelodeon kid's show and getting a can of tuna as a consolation prize. Sure, it's not nothing, but like... Come on.
The only manufacturing the US will never outsource is consent.

SIX. FUCKING. YEARS. ZERO. FUCKING. EVIDENCE.

Trump is not the Antichrist nor demon-possessed, because those things don't exist. He's a malignant narcissist with a lifetime of wealth, freedom from consequences, an amount of power unmatched by anything save his own dementia, and a party willing to protect him at all costs.
Do you remember in The Lion King when scar told the hyenas if they helped him become king he will make their lives better and then their lives didn’t get better and he blamed them for it. And upon realizing this, the hyenas ate him. Do with that story what you will.
Step 1: Gov grants you citizenship, therefore Gov knows you're a citizen already. Step 2: Gov demands YOU prove your citizenship. Step 3: Get documents FROM Gov. Step 4: Show documents TO Gov. Yeah, only MAGAts think that makes any sense at all.
i did not make this up. this is an actual screenshot, from right now.
i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.
Stephen Wolf@stephenwolf.bsky.social · 6mo agoNew York Dems are reportedly still expected to push for a constitutional amendment that would let them redraw the congressional map in 2028 to counter GOP gerrymanders. Dems could target 3-4 seats currently held by GOP. Dems must pass it both in 2026 & 2027, then win voter approval in November 2027
So we placed these anti-missile systems (over a billion $ each) 13 years ago, and the first time they're needed for actual defense not only didn't the battery anti the missiles coming in, it got exploderated? I mean, someone correct me if I'm wrong about that, but... yeesh.
When we said "Hang the traitors" we didn't mean on banners from taxpayer buildings.
Anyone who ever said "Genocide Joe" unironically needs to sit the fuck down now.
There is absolutely 100% responsibility on voters who didn't vote for Harris/Walz because they didn't align with all of their specific causes which directly accounts for the dictatorship we're now in. The entire point of politics is to win. The other side gets it, and they love you for not knowing.
When I think "that's the dumbest thing I'll read today" I have to remind myself that due to social media, a Conservative could post something even dumber at any time of day.
Republicans like their polling numbers the same way they like their rape victims- in the teens.
Reminder: Vance chose to be the sidekick to the man he called "America's Hitler". He lies about his own mother's death; it's not shocking he lies about Good's death either.
It took just 50 hours for that fat orange fucking traitor and his secretary of "where's the liquor" to ruin 2026.
An ex Fox News host is murdering people for ratings, views, and propaganda. Our Secretary of defense is basically making snuff films.
The real way to get wealth to trickle down is to shove an enema up the billionaire classhole.
