Just remember that these guys are cosplaying that they are in Fallujah.- Bingeable series for the whole family
My kid is a middle-schooler, so your mileage may vary. Young Indiana Jones Chronicles - my kid loved those (but he likes the movies). Everybody is throwing about a lot of older stuff (PnR, AD, etc.), but there are some pretty amazing Marvel and DC animated series out there. Last summer, we spent a little time watching some old 80s stuff - Magnum PI, etc. He was interested in Air Wolf (but holy fuck the first episode, you need to watch first by yourself and then skip certain parts with the kid). Battlestar Galactica (2004) captivated him, but there's some stuff in there as well you need to watch. We are about to start on Stargate, first the movie and then the series (but watch for nudity early on, thanks Showtime!) If he loses interest in Stargate, we are switching to Star Trek: TNG Eureka (old Sci-fi series) was a lot of fun, as was Warehouse 13.- Things Not Going Well in Venezuela, 2.0
FIFA manipulated the shit out of him so easily.- Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
You'll know when they start releasing a lot more of the files they have access to.- ICE activity/raids
Trump can't fuck with the elections like you think he can, and him fucking with elections in some way would hurt red states just as much, since all those elected Republican officials would be out of office come January. He is afraid of being impeached after the midterms, that much is clear. I think there's some truth to this - he clearly does not realize that he does not have the wonderful military he needs deployed near Venezuela to actually control it, or even control Caracas. I don't think he watched the video footage when he claimed the murderer was run over, although he could have and still lied about it, wouldn't be the first time he lied about something easily disproven, and he needed to spin that murder. But I also think somebody tells him when to back off a bit - otherwise, he would have made a run at federalizing the NG and invoking the Insurrection Act. He clearly knows about them, and he mentioned them in an interview, claimed that he can do it, but he wasn't willing to do it. "Oh, I can do it, but I'm not there yet". I think the Supreme Court smacking down the NG stuff made somebody around him tell him to knock it off on some things. I don't think that's Miller though. I'd be curious to know who it was that is restraining him in some way.- ICE activity/raids
Epstein files ain't going to bury themselves. edit: Trump and Noem rushed to try to spin the murder because, at least in part, they know if they don't get the narrative out there immediately, somebody else will spin it for MAGA. They were willing to look like fucking idiots (since the footage didn't match what they claimed) in an effort to get that spin applied before the MAGA faithful possibly thought for themselves. Noem even doxxed the murderer in an attempt to spin this as "look, he's been run over before".- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
She is absolutely dropping out of the spotlight rapidly with everything that is going on. She's a distant memory to many at this point.- ICE activity/raids
There's a Tremendous amount shit going on, especially when you look at the big picture, but I've got a way to go before I'm willing to climb out on the ledge, and there are things that while they may not give me a massive amount of hope, they make me think we are not quite diving into the abyss just yet. He lost control of Congress at some point in the past few months, hence the Epstein vote, hence 17 House Republicans joining Democrats on the Venezuela stuff (and every one of those House Republicans is up for re-election and could still be primaried in a month or two), 8 Senate Republicans publicly calling out the Greenland stuff, etc.. Health....motherfucker will die on the toilet holding a Big Mac, I don't know what to say about that. Ukraine has made a massive turn around in the past 6 months in terms of capabilities, and it's without our help (well maybe they are getting targeting help on the down-low). They aren't out of the woods yet, but they are able to do it without much help from us and their homegrown stuff is coming online/into production and they just finished some impressive defense measures while Russia is sending men into combat on...*checks notes* fucking horses.. Look, I do think things are going to get much worse domestically - the comments made by Trump, Noem, and Vance just absolutely reek of desperation, they are so desperate to try and get out in front of this murder and get the MAGA faithful buying their story, complete with Fox News avoiding showing the shooting. Trump, Noem, and Vance all know it's a massively bad look, hence their efforts to spin it even before she was taken to the morgue. Which means they are aware of what it looks like. And Trump is enjoying that the media is not talking about Epstein, which is not helping things. I'm not even going to be surprised when we make a run at probably Cuba or Nicaragua. Colombia is too big and is a democracy. Cuba is easy to try and control by stealing Venezuelan oil and sending it to the US and is a perennial bogeyman, and Ortega is a bad guy and the OAS isn't happy with them. I'll be happy to change my thinking if Trump tries to invoke the Insurrection Act and tries to federalize the National Guard, but something is restraining him. Motherfucker is a toddler-in-disguise and doesn't think that far ahead, but something is holding him back.- Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
In her mind, she was thinking that she was providing a defense for the guy. Instead she doxxed him. I'm sure he loves that.- Minneapolis ICE Murder

What Twicehorn said - we can believe this is a chess move against China, or we can believe that the owner of Citgo, who donated millions to Trump, was looking to get access to that oil.- Minneapolis ICE Murder

Could be as simple as it being an election year.- Minneapolis ICE Murder
How would burning Erika at the stake appease his base, I would think the opposite. Oh, you mean his current wife.- Things going on in Cuba...
And we do not have any troops that can currently secure any of that infrastructure. That would be a fucking nightmare that takes 10s of thousands of troops.- ICE activity/raids
Put me on ignore if I'm a beating. And I don't think murder by itself is going to turn the tide, but Trump's facade has cracks - Supreme Court stopped most of the NG stuff, he's lost control of Republicans in Congress (Epstein stuff) he's got Republicans in Congress voting with Democrats in telling him to chill the fuck out with Venezuela/future military operations, even though it's an election year and he could have them primaried. Their internal polling was so bad that they sided with the fucking Democrats rather than toe the GOP line. He's got 8 Republican Senators and counting telling him to knock off the Greenland bullshit. There are going to be more people who die at the hands of ICE, no doubt about that, but he's not invulnerable and he's driving Dems to the voting booth this fall.- ICE activity/raids
They can't cancel elections, those are state/local, but if Trump wants to tell MAGA to stay home, that's fine. And if he thought he could pull off martial law, he would already have done so - you all are giving Trump way too much credit thinking he's holding that little card close to his vest. If he has a tool available to him, he's going to use it and not wait for some perfect moment. The Supreme Court, as fucked up as they were, didn't give him carte blanche with the National Guard. If you give a toddler a bunch of toys, he's not going to carefully sort them out and decide when he's going to play with each of them. Trump lashes out with whatever he has handy, not whatever is prudent. He's loving this chaos and the fuckery with Venezuela because- Things going on in Cuba...
We know they have no plan - they don't have enough forces to even take and control Caracas, let alone additional countries. They literally set up an operation to attack boats they think were running drugs, then rolled that into a blockade of tankers (which was absolute shit that they had to chase a fucking oil tanker all hte way to the North Sea), and rolled that into a decapitation of the country's leadership (while leaving Maduro's people in power). They have not thought about Cuba without electricity/water/food/etc. nor have they thought about Venezuela without food.- America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread
If he thought he could, he would have already done it. He wouldn't have tucked his tail between his leg on the NG deployments; he would have fully federalized them and invoke the Insurrection Act. This is not a man who carefully lays out and studies all of the tools at his disposal - everything is a nail in his eyes, and his only tool is a hammer. He wasn't patiently waiting for the NG stuff to work its way through the courts before deciding to federalize and invoke the Insurrection Act. It is an election year, and somebody around him, even if he doesn't, has an awareness of certain actions, and so he's not willing to take that next step.- General Health Care/Health Cost thread
This is a big deal given the elections in November. Republicans who voted for it only did so because of their internal polling.- My 2026 Health Insurance Premium Increase
