    Politics SCOTUS Catch-all | Majority Minority districts unconstitutional racial gerrymander

    SCOTUS seems poised to send a few hundred thousand Haitians to their deaths, siding with Trump/Miller to end TPS.

    Politics Trump Retribution |

    To be fair, I’ve learned over the past few years that most Americans have no idea wtf any of our federal agencies actually do, nor do they have any idea how those various agencies impact their daily lives. Hence we have tens of millions of people who still think DOGE was great and/or didn’t...

    Politics CURRENT EVENTS - April

    Makes sense. Fuck science. It’s just a tool of the elites to control you. Also, buy a Trump Bible and listen to RFK Jrs podcast on how raw milk and raccoon penises are all you really need to stay healthy. And stay away from all those crazy vaccines, sheeple. Goddamn I hate this country right now.

    Politics Good faith privately-funded White House ballroom discussion

    The fact that we have to endure his post-stroke bullshit while he ignores the will of the people who voted him into office is yet another sign that our system is broken.

    Politics IRAN WAR Catch-All

    As usual, you’re picking nits that don’t need to be picked. Speaking only for myself— I’ve long thought (ie, over the last decade or so) that our current and continuing/advancing state of decline on multiple fronts has made us increasingly susceptible to military attacks from Russia and China...

    Politics IRAN WAR Catch-All

    To be clear, I don’t see much difference between destroying our country via traditional military methods (physically “invading” via warships and boots on the ground) vs modern methods (technologically destroying your enemy without the need for boots on the ground). Either way leads to one...

    Politics IRAN WAR Catch-All

    I don’t think they need to concern themselves with physically invading the US border, at least not for some time. If they do, it won’t begin by way of conventional warfare with boots on the ground. It’ll be as a result of technological/asymmetrical tactics. Again, Hegseth and Trump have both...

    Politics IRAN WAR Catch-All

    I think we’re at or near our weakest point since WW2, at the very least. We’ve alienated all our allies. We have an ignorant ass as commander in chief, and a drunken ignorant ass as leader of our military. We have severely depleted our military weapons stock over the past 8 weeks of an...

    Politics IRAN WAR Catch-All

    I’ve thought that for some time. But now I’m not so sure. Why would they waste time invading an enemy who’s busy imploding and self-destructing, destroying all their alliances and knee-capping themselves at every turn? Particularly if you’re China—seems more prudent to just stay the course...

    I’m flummoxed as to why it took so long to charge this dude. Girl’s body was found in his trunk about 7.5 months ago.

    Politics IRAN WAR Catch-All

    But he won’t call it an extension. He’ll say that the talks are going great, they’re begging to make a deal, and we’ve already won. And he’ll leave it at that.

    Politics Gas prices

    To be fair, that was the R strategy leading up to the last election. The economic disruptions during the pandemic were all Biden’s fault—despite the fact that the economy was running fairly well by November 2024–and Trump’s tariffs were going to magically make everything better.

    Politics Epstein Files | Melania goes rogue?

    Nah. She’s as media-obsessed as Trump is. Her recent “documentary” illustrates this. She knows full well the power of shaping a narrative, and the power of being a star. Something else is at work here.

    Politics Latin America Politics General Thread

    I’ve not read this entire thread, so I’m sure I’ve missed multiple posts about El Salvador, Bukele, and the Trump admin. That said, tonight’s episode of Frontline on PBS was really eye-opening and disturbing (for me, at least). I knew some of the story of Bukele’s rise to power and his deals...
