Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

T R E 4 5 O N

Peak wingnut was a lie.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Tick tock motherfuckers!

When I was faster i was always behind.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

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

American history and black history cannot be separated.

How stupid are these people?

What is going on here?

Zimbabwe held a U.S.-registered cargo plane Monday which the government said was carrying suspected mercenaries and a cargo of military gear.

The United States said it had no connection with the plane, whose origin and destination remained a mystery.

The aging Boeing 727-100 aircraft was impounded Sunday evening at Harare International Airport “after its owners had made a false declaration of its cargo and crew,” Home Affairs Minister Kembo Mohadi said in a statement.

“The plane was actually carrying 64 suspected mercenaries of various nationalities,” Mohadi said, adding an investigation had also found military materiel. Television pictures showed hardware such as satellite telephones and military knives.

Authorities said no formal charges had been made, and investigations were under way to establish the identities of passengers on the seized plane and the nature of their trip.

Wasn’t there some rumor about a missing plane in Africa several months back?
