  1. To recap, Ana is a strict libertarian non-interventionist pro-Palestinian voter. Less than 100 days into this admin: 1. People are getting disappeared with no trial into a Central American penal colony. 2. Pro-Palestinian students are getting shoved into vans and deported in the middle of citizenship appointments. 3. Israel restarted its offensive in Gaza. 4. Americans are dropping more American bombs on brown people in the Middle East than they ever did under Biden. And Ana is self-fellating himself for supporting a cult member DNI who has only managed to lie to Congress and to not go to war with Iran. Unprecedented fart-sniffing here.
  2. That type of NDA would be likely unenforceable. “Sign this or we will leave you to rot in an El Salvadoran jail without access to the courts” would very much be under duress. There is also the fact that “embarrassment” isn’t a valid reason for the federal government to ask for an NDA.
  3. Stanning for Tulsi because she gave the same intel assessment her predecessors across multiple GOP and D admins isn’t the cope you think it is. Even the “neocons” you see in sleep paralysis bombed Yemen and not Iran, congrats to Tulsi for not shitting the bed I guess? But congrats for telling on yourself by admitting that its actually an accomplishment for your guy not to bomb Iran at Israel’s request.. This was something that Biden managed to do pretty easily.
  4. Elon is fantasizing about someone liking him.
  5. Yeah, @Mantis Toboggan, MD is right. There is a lot of unresolvable tension between “I was scared for my life and safety so I stabbed him” and “I was just doing some knife goofing, I didn’t mean to hurt the guy.” Can’t be both, if you’re stabbing in self-defense you are trying to hurt someone. But as @TwiceHorn pointed out, all that matters is what you can convince a jury. And in a situation where you stabbed someone in the heart in public it’s not a bad bet to create a media circus and polarize things to the point that what actually happened almost doesn’t matter. That appears to be the path chosen.
  6. And what if he didn’t get stabbed in the heart, what if he got punched and fell down and hit his head? And what if it didn’t happen at a high school track meet, what if it happened during a bar fight? You might not be so sure of yourself if something completely different had happened.
  7. It got delayed, apparently because the Metcalf father showed up before it started. I looked up the Next Generation Action Network and offer their description of the work they do without editing.
  8. I completely believe that this specific mediocrity will ensure our country is not a force to be reckoned with. Warrior ethos right here folks.
  9. Hey Lisa, here’s a fucking idea. Announce that you’re going to caucus with Democrats until the attempted authoritarian takeover is stopped. Eight people. Four in the house and four in the Senate. Eight people and a remarkable amount of this gets stopped. I will always remember that the GOP couldn’t produce eight people of character from 275 elected officials.
  10. I honestly kind of wish I could disassociate from reality this hard.
  11. All the Europeans are worried that we put a kill switch in the F-35 but in fact we are giving Elon and Thiel a kill switch on our own strategic systems.
  12. I am watching closely to see what comes out of the Venezuelans’ cases. The gay makeup artist we stashed there makes me especially furious. Yesterday the WH had the mother of a murdered young woman come to the press briefing as part of the press push to justify keeping Garcia there. Just pure blood libel type garbage. I knew it was coming but I’ve been shocked at how fast we’ve plunged into dystopia. And I say that as a (relative) immigration hawk. I’ve worked in the field and seen first hand the questionable application of asylum claims and attendant ills. The way to address that is via legislation and border enforcement. What we are seeing is a grotesque mockery of anything lawful and blatant extrajudicial punishments. In all seriousness, a lot of the cabinet and some career officials should be imprisoned for this.
  13. LMAO at a subscription model for missile defense. This country deserves all of the bad things that are coming.
  14. So there I was, showing my cool knife off. And the guy just jumped on it, heart first.
  15. While I agree with most of this, I found the specific call-out of the Jesuits as the primary source of DJT’s manifest personal failings compelling and conspiratorial.
  16. Yes, being in the United States as anything other than a citizen means you can be removed. Having a legal permanent residence status gives you protections that a visa holder doesn’t have. A visa holder? You are indeed here at the discretion of the U.S. government. Which makes sense, because being sent home is not a punishment, it’s an administrative action. There is no entitlement for a non-citizen to remain in the United States and for non-immigrants there is the opposite of an entitlement. Getting sent to prison is a punishment. The federal government has broad discretion as to what aliens can be admitted and remain. The outrage over Garcia is: 1. The government didn’t adhere to its own ruling not to remove him. 2. The government is paying to have him jailed by a foreign government with no sentence and no appeal. I agree with @immamac, lets not conflate a visitor who couldn’t avoid getting arrested and got sent home (to get an F1 visa you have to attest that you have a home you intend to return to) with someone who got extrajudicially disappeared into a foreign penal colony with no legal avenue to appeal.
  17. Jews were about one percent of Germany’s population. There was broad agreement that sending Jews abroad was fine and the Nazi government had plenty of propaganda about how the camps were nice and temporary holding facilities until Jews could be sent to a permanent home in Madagascar or elsewhere. Death camps were placed in the occupied General Government of Poland and overseen by mostly German officers and recruited Trawniki men from Western Ukraine, Belarus, and the Baltics. (Poles generally did not work as camp guards or for the Nazis, Polish outright collaboration was rare). Poles especially did not want to collaborate with occupiers on their home soil. I say all this not to draw a direct comparison. But it is relevant. This government wants to conduct its worst abuses outside of the view and oversight of Americans.
  18. CECOT is going to go away sometime, somehow, and whatever comes out of it is going to be truly terrifying.
  19. With a torrent of objective falsehoods, Little Marco announces that the office at State that helped other countries fight against Russian and Chinese propaganda is closed. This is a hack job by Darren Beattie, a no-shit white supremacist who has been installed to oversee that bureau.
  20. He is not even close to that badass and no one should ever let him think he is.
  21. I am betting that is complete bullshit based on everything from the scare quotes around tragedy to the non sequitur about Illinois. I’m pretty confident that every school district employee involved in any way has been told to STFU and stay off of the internet.
  22. I honestly think he’ll end up pleading to murder in exchange for getting out in like thirty years. I’m probably OK with that.
  23. I think its going to end up being very simple. This kid took a knife to a track meet, ended up in an argument, and stabbed another kid to death.
