I was just about to make a case by saying, "Hey man I know we define adulthood at 18, but these young adult brains still aren't fully developed yet and they seem like gullible frat bros groomed by the excitement of being a part of something, maybe they'll come to regr—"

... Then I saw, Kliger's authored articles include:

  • "Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense: The Warrior Washington Fears.”

  • "The Curious Case of Matt Gaetz: How the Deep State Destroys Its Enemies.”

This fucktard is a true believer.

DOGE is literally an example of government waste and inefficiency through needless duplication.

The GAO already exists.

"Federation"? Wtf is this, star trek!?

I'd genuinely be interested in having a neuroscientist analyze his brain via mri / eeg.

An interesting study of self-identifying conservatives and liberals revealed conservatives had larger amygdalae and shrunken anterior cingulate cortices. This translated to greater fear and disgust responses and reduced empathy and pattern recognition.

He definitely had this no BS progressive streak he amplified ahead of his election. He had a massive stroke, then turned increasingly conservative -- seems to track. Alas, the cause doesn't matter. He revealed his true colors.

Seems we were double-crossed yet again akin to Sinema.

Reminder that the former CEO of CBS doing the bidding of shareholders said following Trump's first election, "Trump may not be good for America, but he's good for CBS. Keep going, Donald."

They may have changed executives but the sentiment is 100% the same because all these media outlets are profit above all.

I'm glad it seems that many democrats are quitting their Gatekeeping bullshit with AOC.

So frustrating to see people so concerned about the perception of some strawman caricature the right manufacture for our best fighters that we turn on our own. If it wasn't obvious, they attack her so relentlessly because they fear her and know her potential more some of our own.

36 hours of work through the weekend. I'll try to sneak my guitar when it's slow and organize my To-Do list that's a mile long.

Realistically I'll probably just doomscroll and get into political arguments...

I had a conservative admit they receive the the bulk of their news from Twitter, and Tim Pool. But simultaneously exclaims without evidence that AP/Reuters are not to be trusted. JFC.

It's worth noting that psychopaths aren't deterred by shame or guilt, and usually the truth takes too long to explain to the masses...

... But mockery, humiliation, embarrassment really get to these folks because they have excessive vanity and self-esteem issues.

Remember when Putin banned images of him as a gay clown?

Honestly, right-wing media domination is so strong that we could resurrect George Washington, merge his DNA with Reagan's corpse, then conjoin that with Trump's head and call him GigaTrump and Republicans wouldn't vote for him because of the (D).

Yeah you're probably not far off. Similarly, I held my nose and voted for her as well. She was obviously the better choice, if only because her legacy was tied to a platform that at least on paper was significantly better than the alternative (e.g., climate change).

Alas I raise Hillary because of the double-standards of her buttery males versus this which is infinitely worse — yet, naturally, not a peep from conservative circles.

Because we know they're hypocrites and ends justify means to them.

 

I guess I'm curious about generations (namely GenZ and Alpha) who didn't live in a pre-Internet time. Like,

  • How was the concept first explained to you, or when did it click?
  • Do you understand how insane it is to have the aggregate of all human knowledge — the only comparable thing once being a physical library or university — one search away? That it's absolutely insane you can engage in a real-time conversation with someone on the opposite side of the world? That you can find niche communities in an instant?
  • Were your parents super strict about internet usage? How quickly did you find workarounds?
 

June 28 (Reuters) - A group of U.S. voters who were unable to choose between Joe Biden and Donald Trump before Thursday's presidential debate delivered their verdicts after the contest and it was almost universally bad news for Biden.

Of the 13 "undecideds" who spoke to Reuters, 10 described the 81-year-old Democratic president's performance against Republican candidate Trump collectively as feeble, befuddled, embarrassing and difficult to watch.

 

All undecided voters in a U.S. swing states focus group hosted by pollster Frank Luntz said President Biden should be replaced as the Democratic nominee after watching his first presidential debate against former President Trump.

 

Lord Cameron said while he would not support a major ground offensive in the Gazan city of Rafah, the UK would not copy US plans to stop some arms sales.

He said the UK supplies just 1% of Israel's weapons and warned Israel must do more to protect civilians and allow humanitarian aid through.

They must oblige within a certain time frame — even if your account has been suspended and I believe even if you've deleted your account. Curiously, this might be one effective way to protest. Golly I wonder what would happen if many people requested such reports simultaneously. It seems these must be processed manually by admins.

As a bonus, it's nice because all your comments and messages are searchable.
