    To be fair, these aren’t mutually exclusive needs. In an event where someone murders someone over politics, it’s good to reflect on whether or not you’re guilty of participating in or contributing to an environment that has become dangerously polarized. The country had had a lot of time to...

    I did reflect on the events today, and here are my thoughts: First, I think it’s a bit premature to assume the motivations of the shooter, but that has been true across the political spectrum, and it certainly does seem likely he was reacting to their votes breaking with the party line. But...

    We can agree to disagree overall, but this is still a stupid rebuttal because they weren’t hiding underneath the ruins of Gaza prior to this.

    It doesn’t have to, though. Israel still chose to not prioritize the civilians. I have no problem co-blaming Hamas for everything. But chicken shit leaders hunkered down under schools as all of Gaza burns to the ground aren’t the threat to Israeli citizens people pretend they are when defending...

    I’m not really objecting to whether or not Israel has a justification for war. I’m objecting to the idea that because Israel has a justification for war that they get to act with impunity and we cannot question whether or not they’re taking effective measures to minimize civilian loss. They...

    Not propping up Grok as gospel, but maybe both sides are bad?

    Still curious that Netanyahu doesn’t seem to have to worry about pesky things like rules or morals.

    I’ve been critical as hell of the Israeli government and the response to the civilian suffering in Gaza, but fuck every single bit of this and anybody who supports it. The death of Israeli citizens is not a gotcha moment.

    I mean, unless someone within the Israeli government bought a bunch of $TRUMP I suppose.

    I’m strangely fine with giving Trump the benefit of the doubt that he will do as much as anyone would have to stop us from going to war with Iran.

    Glad they found it and that he’ll be held accountable, but this isn’t evidence of USAID being a hotbed of fraud unless the $550 million in contracts were being awarded to a fake company. This is just run-of-the-mill abuse of public service. He’d do quite well in the private sector with this type...

    Something tells me if China did decide for some crazy fucking reason to declare all-out war by attacking us in this manner, farmland ownership wouldn’t be overly necessary.

    So how many Iranian civilians does Israel get to kill before they’re no longer just defending themselves?

    There are just so many good reasons to scoff at Mike Johnson’s character and adherence to his professed values, but this has been a bit silly. Yes, tarring and feathering someone is torture in practice, but that’s not how people use the term. The one very annoying thing about Trump’s actions...

    This account has been screeching about ICE for months and now is calling Trump weak for suggesting that maybe we do less deporting. Can we please stop this trend of shaming Trump for doing less of the things we don’t want him to do?

    I can’t possibly imagine the response this very guy would have if one of Biden’s 85,000 IRS Agents had been tasked with going after conservative groups supporting a protest.
