Led by the guy who in a ketamine fused conversation with his son thought that the cybertruck looked like "the future". Participating is the other guy who's fantasy of subterranean warfare looks more like the Underminer from The Incredibles. Finally, the sage gray beard Contract on America dude.

Searching for the best way to characterize techbros amoralism, I keep landing here: The kind of guys who wouldn't be a school shooter but who fantasize about things like this by letting their product be a conduit for it. You know this because they elevate Yarvin and Yud as their intellectual guides

Followed by a legislature that cannot find its Constitutional spine and keeps finding ways to rationalize not observing any form of duty by serving party more than state.

Starting to think that maybe making our Secretary of Defense a dude who looks like he runs a monetized YouTube channel called “CHADFACTS” that sells taint oil to insecure dudes was a bad idea

So if Pete's case for reducing the population of GOFOs by 20% is to streamline action and reduce bureaucracy what exactly is the proposal to concurrently change the processes or bodies they oversaw? If what I'm hearing is correct the JROC revisions from nearly a year ago still haven't been enacted.

Hegseth is a great example of a common type of officer who's ended up in charge of something, doesn't have a clue how to do the job, and just falls back on PT, grooming, slogans, and searching for scapegoats. If you put him in charge of a Cinnabon he would do the exact same things.

When the “censorship industrial complex” myth was just getting started, in Fall 2022, I got a public records request from the AG’s office of Missouri looking for all my emails related to my team’s election rumor research. The Missouri AG at that time? Eric Schmitt. What a tool.

But I was told that Xi wouldn't do this because Trump asked him not to do it and they are buddies and all and see things the same way and all. I'm assured of it.

“I hate the war, but trans people…” is not a winning message. The public now understands that hate doesn’t lower gas prices or provide healthcare, it only enables oligarchy and corruption.

In the "this seems bad. Is this bad?" school of national security. Insert "Yuri you lost F-35 parts" meme here as well. For those who've been working on supply chain issues for this aircraft I'm sure this is pretty frustrating.

For people who like their Converse with better quality and sans racism. When Nike acquired Converse, in a weird loophole, Converse Japan was left out. They are allowed to operate but not sell direct to the U.S. market. You can buy them on a 3d party site & they are higher quality heritage design.
