What a completely unforeseeable outcome, guaranteed by years of inaction before grudgingly opening cases against the fascists.

Our incoming director of national intelligence is staunchly anti-Ukraine, which I'm sure makes Putin very happy. I hate that our government will soon be calling ruzzia's invasion of Ukraine a "legitimate security concern" for ruzzia

Judge overseeing 'fake elector' case recuses himself after defense accuses him of anti-Trump bias GOP "You have to recuse yourself, you have anti-Trump bias!!" Judge "Well, I don't, I follow the law, but to maintain decorum I'll recuse" Dems to Judge Cannon "you have pro-Trump bias, you have to recuse yourself to maintain decorum" Judge Cannon "Go fuck yourself"

He's also got a crusader cross tatooed on his chest

Frankly, if a member is attacked and Article 5 is invoked to no response, NATO is dead.

No, no, there's going to be plenty of that too. There's a ton of businesses that saw cost increases of $1, so they took the opportunity to raise prices by $3. Sorry that there's not many simple answers to complex problems for ya

He kisses the ring. He meets qualifications. Simple as.

why do all of your posts have this weird header and footer formatting? Is it just to take up more space on the thread? Is chatGPT injecting those for you?

Super early reporting, but decently factual outlets are corroborating https://www.newsweek.com/turkey-cuts-off-relations-israel-1985013

Seems significant. https://www.newsweek.com/turkey-cuts-off-relations-israel-1985013 News outlet Medya Ege reported Erdogan to have said, "We, as the State and Government of the Republic of Turkey, have cut off relations with Israel. We do not have any relationship with Israel at this point. Period." Erdogan made these comments to journalists aboard his plane following his recent visits to Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan. Erdogan highlighted his condemnation of what he termed genocide in Gaza and Lebanon. He emphasized the urgent need for humanitarian aid and an immediate ceasefire, "As you know, intense efforts are being made to keep the pressure on Israel alive and to take coercive measures against this country on the basis of international law We show it," he is reported to have said. At the time of writing the Turkish embassy in Tel Aviv is still operating and Jerusalem has not made any official statement about Erdogan's comments. Newsweek has reached out to the Turkish Embassy in Israel for comment by email.

But there's just not enough money in football to afford that!!! /s

Huh fun fact about the incoming SecDef - he was removed from Biden's inauguration protection detail due to having extremist posts and a crusader cross tatoo https://apnews.com/article/12-guard-removed-biden-inauguration-860c2c28bb3b45a28625352df50de294 https://www.newsweek.com/pete-hegseth-was-removed-bidens-inauguration-labelled-extremist-1984882 Also I learned reading up on him, his first billet was at Guantanamo Bay via National Guard. Jeeeeeezus.

Don't you know? Disinformation that is easily bebunked is fine to constantly post, because we can't expect people to click through or understand context. Blacklab and Imma out front shoulda told ya.

Oh wow, that's surprisingly similar to opinions voiced by our own incoming VP! So strange how often they align with russian rhetoric

(from the linked article)

I really do believe that BigTech and social media - particularly TikTok and Twitter - played a huge role in driving voter apathy that kept (D) voters home. They can pump out SO MUCH microtargetted disinformation that exactly targets the cleavage points in our society

Whenever the USAF is testing new aircraft, there's a massive spike in "UFO" sightings. Which is technically correct as they are unidentified flying objects, but they're not extraterrestrials. https://www.businessinsider.com/ufo-sightings-mistakes-real-objects-2018-11

our incoming head of the FDA still thinks COVID "is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.” If/when we get another pandemic situation, we are well and truly fucked.

On the other hand, fascist governments LOVE to appoint loyalists over competence. So at least whenever things start to go pear shaped, it'll keep going. At least, that's how it's worked out for every other fascist government before this one

This was because of the repeated death threats they were getting exclusively from trump supporters. Fuck you, you fucking propagandizing liar

He knows. That's what he and the Christian Right want. They don't want women to have agency.
