Your life must be going pretty well if you’ve got the bandwidth to worry about Trump wearing a hat.

The official rationale coming from the administration is no more coherent than this.

Conspiracy theories can be a coping mechanism that allow people to feel like they understand a complicated and scary world. The Epstein scandal is complicated and scary.

Sulfuric Acid isn’t ideal for dissolving bodies, because it doesn’t dissolve bones well. It has many legitimate uses such as water purification, which the article points out.

Honestly with all the terrible shit we know happened, I don’t understand the urge to turn this into an episode of Dexter. Is child-abuse island it not interesting enough?

The only thing “taking the 5th” implies is intelligence.

Ya know the 5th is the one so they can’t coerce you to confession (with torture)? I think it’s a good one.

Who are you going to shoot to bring our democracy back, Rambo?

The 2nd should be repealed. Kids getting murdered in school isn’t a fair price to pay so that gun fetishists can indulge their fantasies.

People have strong opinions about the particulars of Christian Doctrine. It’s been a real problem, both for inside and outside the faith observers. From the beginning.

Thinking that their is a “correct” version of Christianity is compelling to people who’s business it is to move toward that. But it’s frustrating and obtuse to willfully ignore the differences in Christian practice, doctrine, and behavior. Both in current context and historical.

If Christianity makes people better, then why doesn’t it?

“Sometimes I think the ‘Panicans’ in our party would be better off spending their money on Depends to help control all their bedwetting,” one national GOP strategist told Axios.

The GOP is trying to ban FUD from the party like r/wallstreetbets. I’ve never heard someone be so hostile to something that they also dismissed. That quote sounds canned; something they thought about.

Democrats can’t lead, they’re so beholden to their oligarch masters that all they can offer is co-parenting with fascists. This is an example where Democrats are being asked to choose labor over capital. Let’s see what happens.

Well, like Fred Hampton said: a pig is a pig.

Maybe we can squash the stupid lib ideal that ICE is one iota different than their local Jake.

Isn’t that the guy who took a fast food bag full of cash?

I grew up in a county powered by Nuclear. The weird thing is that the plant was in basically the most beautiful part of the area. Their are hiking trails and parks nearby. And the artificial lakes are a huge tourist draw. Some of the most expensive real estate is practically in the shadow of the cooling towers.

The power generation that suffers from bad publicity is not coal.

Normal people cry at the end of Schindler’s list because of all the Jews who got away. Stephen Miller cries at the end of Schindler’s List because of all the Jews who got away.

If this is the bombshell that was supposed to torpedo Trump, I am not impressed.

Embrace it! If Jan 6 motherfuckers are patriots, then I’m insurrectionist.

Violations were not brushed aside. Soldiers are criminally accountable when we break the law. That accountability is what separates professional soldiers from mercenaries.

Bullshit! Lt. William Calley was convicted of murdering 22 people at My Lai, and he served 3 years. Nobody else was even charged with the 200-500 people who were massacred (and raped).

That accountability is what separates professional soldiers from mercenaries.

Also not true. The Nisour Square massacre saw 4 Blackwater employees convicted of murder, manslaughter, and guns charges only to be pardoned by Trump.

Just this year, the Trump regime reinstated the Congressional Medal of Honor awards to the solders who perpetrated the massacre at Wounded Knee.

The United States has a terrible record of holding soldiers to account for war crimes.

I’ve always thought that policing Kirk’s grief was gross. And the kind of thing that conservatives worry about. I’m comforted that so many here recognize gossip-slop politics.

Yesterday there was a popular meme on Reddit comparing the Minnesota killings to Kent State shootings. I’m not saying it isn’t apt, just frustrated that the obvious through-line isn’t state violence, but state violence against white people. FFS George Floyd died in the same city like 5 years ago and you gotta go back to the fucking 60s to find your example of American State violence?

And this is the problem. Government violence against POC is seen as normal, natural, and right, even by the libs. Because that violence is normal. This is America.

OH my god the libs still think the pigs are going to save them.
