Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

People are weird.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Their freedom requires your slavery.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

From the minefields around Najef, Iraq:

American troops found that the fleeing Baath Party and paramilitary forces had set up minefields on roads and bridges leading out of the city. Late today an American engineering team was clearing the third of such fields, this one with 30 mines, by detonating them with C4 explosives.

Lt. Col. Duke Deluca, noting that the mines had been made in Italy, said, “Europeans are antiwar, but they are pro-commerce.”

    I’m sure that this entire report is fabricated.

    After all Italy has signed AND ratified the landmine treaty. They’d surely never break such a solemn agreement?

    Oddly enough, too, Iraq has NOT signed that treaty. How come they’re never mentioned, but the US is?

    Americans must never be fooled into thinking we should try to be more moral than anyone else. So long as there are evil nations in the world, any attempt to be good is only a sign of weakness. We need to be more evil than anyone who would dare challenge us!

    So…

    An Italian company sold Iraqis landmines, making all anti-war Europeans hypocrites? I’m glad no U.S. companies never did that, that would be very embarassing.

    Bardp:

    Where does it say ALL Europeans are hypocrits?

    If you wish to conclude that, tant pis to your Euro-conscience. Personally, I’d feel most embarrassed if I were an Italian anti-landmine activist.

    The fact that the US gets more than its share of criticism about not signing the landmine treaty, however, when Iraq seems to get nary a mention IS worthy of derision, IMO.
