When you craft a party, without an ideological base other than preserving corporate sponsorship, whose leadership actively disdains its constituents, it will always have spoiler losers like Fetterman, Sinema, etc. It will always find a way to facilitate the fascist project while cultivating a veneer of deniability. Until the party’s financing is fundamentally reorganized and it’s sclerotic Republican leadership is thrown to the curb, Democrats are trash.

Tim Cook is adopting a very muppet-like appearance as he ages out.

So, is the ceasefire over, or are we just doing an Israel-style ceasefire?

I have a lot of confidence that Democrats will furiously vote in more feckless corporate sellouts who’s goal is to enable the same fascist project that trump represents, but do it with nicer manners and bigger words.

People need to start physically intervening in the operation of these things. I think I saw a report once about a group in the UK that would attack cameras. I think they called themselves Bladerunners.

Just count Jeffries and congressional Democrats out of everything. They’re determined to do nothing substantive with whatever power we give them, again. They’re a corporate donor maintenance organization, not a political party, not leaders, and certainly not advocates for any civic ideology other than whatever positions reinforce their ability to perform the above maintenance project.

I hope that all those media people who were at the dinner realize that we don’t give a shit about their safety either. They’re all part of the same corrupt oligarchic project.

C’mon people. If you’re going to do it, actually do it.

I can’t wait until all the people outraged about this find out what Israeli soldiers have been doing to actual people.

“Look people, this incredibly bad, self-destructive, unpopular, and poorly planned operation was all my own creation. Don’t you dare hang any responsibility for this disaster on anyone else but me.”

Because nothing is more American than having the government regulate thought.

I’m no longer sure if the above sentiment should be interpreted sarcastically or not.

After the market closes for the week

Fascist collaboration.

Based on the belligerence and untrustworthiness of the global hegemon (the US) and its client state (Israel), getting nukes is the only rational move for smaller countries like Iran. That is the environment that we have cultivated.

Given how outrageously aggressive Israel is in this region, another nuclear power would be an effective check and probably usher in a new era of peace in the region.

RIP to this genocide-supporting loser’s political career.

I really hope that Iran doesn’t fall for it again. There’s no reason to trust anything that the US agrees to. As a nation, we have zero allegiance to our word. We are an entirely malevolent, two faced actor. If they reach some kind of agreement at this summit, I hope that Iran is just doing it as a stalling mechanism so that they can make strategic moves like actually acquiring nukes.

Does anyone have a more punchable face than vance?

I’m not saying that he’s doing it all himself, but he’s the one deciding to do it. This latest ‘stone age’ threat is all him. You’d think that a machine as large and powerful as our military would require more than one guy’s whim to move into action. BYW, I’m not absolving everyone else of responsibility. Everyone who decides to follow the orders is culpable.

I live in a country where this one guy, all by himself, is allowed to just decide to murder thousands and thousands of people just because he wants to, over and over again. And, there’s no consequences, no check, no pushback, nothing that the other 300 million of us can do about it. Why do we tolerate this? Why is this just accepted as normal, even by the majority of people who disagree with him? I just cannot get over what a shit country the US is. Our government, our politics, our media, our culture, the people who live here are just endlessly awful. Will some nation, please just fucking do something about us?

CBS is no longer a credible news organization. You should immediately second guess, and probably entirely doubt, anything being attributed to them.
