Yes, I fear defenestration of various “problems” will become more and more commonplace here in the US now, sadly

Here’s a horrifying thought: JD’s Silicon Valley puppetmasters wait until Trump has served just over 2 years into his term, then invoke the 25th and install JD. In the meantime, the MAGA types work the system to ensure they can guarantee a Vance victory through whatever means necessary for the next 2 cycles (since his first abbreviated session won’t count as an official term), or a total of 10 years, before most Americans even realize we have sleepwalked into a Vance dictatorship funded by and primarily benefiting oligarchs like Musk and Thiel

To make sure the tigers don’t start getting any ideas

He’s out of his fucking element

This kind of shilling has to be considered a massive, unreported campaign contribution. Come on.

Edit: a word, for clarity

Off on another long, strange trip, no doubt. RIP, Phil.

Yes, but with an extra large helping of pain and suffering. That’s the problem.

I think I heard him say at one of his appearances that he’s going to work for 30 minutes, and then said it would be longer than Kamala ever worked there. So yeah, he’s never been planning on putting in a full shift.

If I had to guess, it’s something to the effect of “FEMA will come in, give you $750 for your home, then send you to a tent, leaving you both permanently displaced and destitute.” It’s not true, but it seems like the kind of thing that would catch on amongst the conspiratorial-minded.

I don’t understand the pun you are going for here

Again, he exposes his fascistic tendencies

Seconded. Did it impact a legitimate military target? Where any civilians injured or killed? If so, how many? What’s the deets??

Israeli censorship rules prevent media outlets saying exactly where or what was targeted, but some media outlets say the location was hit by a low-level drone launched from Lebanon - a relatively unsophisticated weapon that appears not to have activated early warning alarms.

Frustrating.

Migrants, you say? Just deport 'em to Venezuela!

TIL, thank you!

Well I don’t like that

From the comments, it seems likely this was not a nuclear test.

According to the US Geological Survey, the depth of the quake was at 10 km, which is too deep for an atomic test. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000nwr9/executive

ProPublica is the journalism we need, in a time when we really need it most

Eta:

Three investigators for the Heritage Foundation have deluged federal agencies with thousands of Freedom of Information Act requests over the past year, requesting a wide range of information on government employees, including communications that could be seen as a political liability by conservatives. Among the documents they’ve sought are lists of agency personnel and messages sent by individual government workers that mention, among other things, “climate equity,” “voting” or “SOGIE,” an acronym for sexual orientation, gender identity and expression.

The Heritage team filed these requests even as the think tank’s Project 2025 was promoting a controversial plan to remove job protections for tens of thousands of career civil servants so they could be identified and fired if Donald Trump wins the presidential election.

Syria better be on alert. I really feel like Bibi is eying the Kingdom of David at its largest as far as potential war targets go at this point.

I appreciate the irony of a so-named “news” corp keeping the terms of the settlement secret

I sure hope no one shares that link, leading to a subsequent spike in traffic and possibly taking the site down as a result. That would be a really shameful thing to see happen.
