Honestly, this post has big meddling squealer energy

3rd time’s a charm!

People love to insist she was grown in a CIA lab to be a bartender or whatever, but I think AOC’s behavioral evolution is pretty much what you’d expect from a normie DSA lib who’s spent every waking hour for most of the last decade in an isolated bubble composed entirely of the worst people alive. The more time people spend in the imperial congress, the more they can’t help but start to see other congresspeople as their only peers and normal people as a vague abstract mass that can only be understood through op-eds, poll divination, and campaign strategists.

he should definitely keep paying whatever strategist told him that slowly transforming into popular politician Ted Cruz is a surefire path to the white house

I don’t know what’s worse: the fact that they thought doing another indefinite foreign occupation was a winning strategy, or that they felt such genuine kinship with the Trump administration that they felt they were doing them a kindness by not “boxing them in”.

There’s a version of this where Biden makes up a fake plan to invade Yemen right as he leaves office, then passes it on to Trump in the hope that Trump runs with it, takes all the credit, and publicly eats shit. It says a lot about Biden that there isn’t the smallest part of me that wonders if that could be what happened.

Biden genuinely thinks occupying Afghanistan and Iraq were good decisions, and the only thing that stopped him from doing it again in the waning hours of his presidency was his genuine respect for Donald Trump’s judgement.

Which begs the question, why is the WaPo hosting opposition propagandists from its neighbor?

“I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning: I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.”

General Kurilla, head of U.S. Central Command, had proposed a prolonged 8–10 month campaign to degrade Ansar Allah’s air defense systems and carry out targeted assassinations of key leaders—modeled on Israeli tactics in Lebanon.

So, open terrorism then. The “Israeli tactics in Lebanon” involved smuggling concealed explosives into civilian supply chains and detonating them in crowded areas.

They weren’t reciprocal and they weren’t all canceled.

Peace in Europe would be a real setback for Europe, according to Europe.

I think most of Trump’s strategies come down to high stakes games of chicken. He correctly estimates that most world leaders are cowards who will accept any indignity the empire heaps on them, and that he won’t personally suffer consequences for anything he does. Given those two things, there’s little incentive for him to not at least try shaking down the entire planet just to see who capitulates.

You can (and probably should, Bing obviously excepted), but given how many of those are effectively just anonymous proxies for Google or Bing results, it doesn’t really solve the issue of the search monopoly intentionally degrading their search results.

…Mexicans?

Every time you reply in this thread, it actually reelects Trump for another 8 years.^[1] Why don’t you learn how Our Democracy® works.

autocracy is when a colony allows the tyranny of the brown majority to determine local affairs without due deference to the emperor’s democratic edicts.

I mean, yeah I secretly do this every time I offer toast to Christians, but like why is it even a big deal? It’s stupid, just eat the toast. Don’t even worry about it. Just eat the toast. Eat the toast.

I cant wait to hear Karoline Leavitt describe this man as an absentee father who abandoned his children at a gas station

you know that the mayor doesn’t actually control the cops right even the chief of police doesn’t

Enlighten me. What individual has ultimate formal authority over the city cops? Are they an autonomous collective? Does the abstract concept of racism sign their timesheets?

it’s like saying that Obama was president so there should’ve been no lynchings in sundown-flyoversville during that span of time

…it’s not at all like saying that, because the two things aren’t analogous. Being president is not equivalent to being the mayor of every municipality in sundown-flyoversville. To entertain your unrelated hypothetical: the office of imperial president could absolutely use the armed forces under their direct control (the military, FBI, marshals, etc.) to physically stop just about any ongoing activity by a tax paying American company inside the territorial boundaries of the US if that’s something the president wanted to do. That Obama personally didn’t and wouldn’t do that to “stop all lynchings” or whatever is obvious, but it’s because he personally didn’t want to do that, not because his office lacked the ability.

That the mayor of Newark chose to engineer his own arrest by a private company inside his own jurisdiction is not evidence that the mayor is an uwu smol bean that has no power over any of the people that work for him or do business in his city, it’s evidence that the mayor of Newark was less interested in using any of the power of his office than he was in creating theater to use in future campaign ads when he runs for governor.

if I were in command of a city police force and believed that a private paramilitary company was doing crimes in my jurisdiction, I’d simply tell my cops to take the day off and nonviolently hand myself over to the corpos to slap me in cuffs. once Donald Trump realizes how racist it looks, he’ll surely have no choice but to change his heart.
