That’s one hell of a sense of entitlement.

The US Women’s hockey team declined the invitation from the White house. So now they can have their sausage fest.

Thanks for sharing this article. It’s always nice to click on a link and not hit a paywall.

When we finally get this sorted a lot of fuckers need to go to prison.

Republicans can stop this shit at any time. Not even all of them, or even a majority of them. A handful of them, like 3 in the Senate and 3 in the House could end this shit in like, a week or two.

On edit: Probably more like a month or two. Trump doesn’t even have Nixon’s decency.

I find it ironic when these organizations use the “bad apple” argument. The term comes from the adage, “One bad apple spoils the whole bunch”, so if you concede that you have bad apples, you concede that your entire organization is corrupt.

What a beautiful statement in a time of profound grief. We must not fail this woman in pursuing justice.

So Hegseth, while serving as SecDef (or SecWar, or whatever in the hell he’s cosplaying) is violating first amendment rights of a US senator, veteran fighter pilot, and (get this) FUCKING ASTRONAUT for stating a part of the UCMJ that every military member is taught in basic training?

IMHO, as soon as he’s done laughing, he should make copies for the indictment then frame the original to hang on his wall.

A million…more?

I’ll cut you some slack since you admitted that you’re not American, but I have to correct you on a couple of points here:

1. There was never a mayor of New York City named “Comey”. I think you’re confusing him with the former governor of New York State, Andrew Cuomo, who was a mess, but that was a completely different issue.
2. The former mayor of New York City was not Andrew Cuomo, it was Eric Adams, who was also a mess, but he was a different guy altogether with a different mess.
3. Andrew Cuomo was running for mayor of NYC against both Zohran Mamdani and Eric Adams (who was running as an independent candidate, until he dropped out), and I think that’s where your confusion comes from.

The damages done will last far beyond my lifetime and I’m fairly young.

Yes, they probably will.

And that’s an “at best” scenario assuming America even turns things around, which I am seriously beginning to doubt.

It will take a while to turn things around. I’m pretty hopeful about new voices like Mamdani and AOC, but I can’t make you share that optimism.

I disagree. There is no heir to the MAGA throne with Trump’s charisma (for lack of a better word). Vance is a wet noodle with the personality of an even wetter noodle, and Charlie Kirk is dead.

I understand what you’re saying, and there will be a lot to be fixed once the Trump era is over, both domestically and in realm of international relations, but Democrats are overperforming in every special election lately, even in deep-red areas, and an openly Democratic Socialist has just won the mayoral race a major American city. Then there is the spectre of the Epstein files, which is not going away, and for all their faults, the Democrats seem to be pursuing this doggedly. Republicans in congress are already jumping ship. I don’t expect them to invoke the 25th amendment on Trump, but it’s becoming increasingly obvious that he’s declining both mentally and physically. If we’re not at a tipping point yet, I’d say we’re damn close.

I honestly think Trump is circling the drain right now. It’s still big, wide circles, and I think he can do more significant damage before he’s done, but IMHO the beginning of his end has started.

But don’t dare say anything bad about Charlie Kirk, even if it’s a direct quote of his hateful rhetoric.

I honestly think we’re close to the point where personal electronics are as powerful as they need to be and manufacturers are scrambling for more reasons for planned obsolescence. For example, the Windows 11 requirements are about secure boot, not processing power or memory requirements.

I’m still rockin’ my Galaxy S10 and the desktop I built in 2016. Both meet my needs just fine right now.

I’m cool with more aurora borealis. I was only able to see a dull red glow during the last solar storm.

Ha! Fuck him.
