…public funds. Why is Robert Kraft able to corral his billionaire buddies and make Macklemore’s opinion Ed Sheeran’s problem? Seems like the Atlantic should have looked into that. Fuck billionaires. There isn’t an ethical one out there. Every single one has lied, cheated, or stolen their wealth.

Can someone explain why an 11-1 not guilty split isn’t enough to have a not guilty verdict? And is there some reason the judge here seems to be valuing the one jurors finding over the other 11?

Or, idk, any defense contractor or K Street firm could tell you exactly how much the Pentagon is spending on munitions. And that’s before you shake the leaves of the think tanks who research munition production and expenditure rates…mostly for fun.

US inventory at the time. Not only did those bombs not quite perform as designed, it takes 9-12 months to build one. Trump is simply looking at the toys available to him, and no one left at the Pentagon is willing to tell the drunk running the shop that part of war fighting is knowing how to…

People generally have no idea how long it takes to manufacture munitions. For example, we make about 600 Patriot interceptors in a month, but at the onset of the Iran war, we burned through that many in a month. Trump dropped 14 GBU-57s on Iran in June 2025, which was more than half of the…

You know what…I’m pretty confident that should they manage to pass this, it will have an outsized impact on the low-propensity voters that helped get MAGA to power in 2016 and 2024. Would be outstanding schadenfreude for them to get destroyed because of the SAVE Act.

The plan has always been for Republicans to force the US economy into a severe economic Depression just as Dems take power and then blame them, retake power in a populist revolt and then sell the country off to their friends for spare parts.

Tactical Nuclear Penguin @nuclearpenguin.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Told you they would cave. Why are people surprised that there are no moderate Republicans? There are simply those who’ve been cucked and those yet to be cucked…just waiting for a moment where history requires them to have any sort of personal agency so they can get publicly cucked.

Tactical Nuclear Penguin @nuclearpenguin.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

They will both cave in the end. Neither one is ultimately capable of bucking Trump—they want to believe they can still wield power after they’re gone, or that by voting yes, they will be in Trump’s debt. Both are delusional. They will confirm and Blanche will act as Trump’s personal lawyer.

Accepting terrible people because someone more terrible is waiting is lunacy. We can’t survive if Republicans are allowed to point guns at our heads and tell us to be happy or else they’ll get crazier. I’m glad he’s gone, and hopefully SC voters suffer enough to finally stop electing pieces of shit.

He spent his last years on earth trying to be relevant once Trump upended DC. And in those final years he was a detestable piece of shit who could have done anything except what he did and been half the statesman you think he was. Fuck him. I’d piss on his grave but that’d be a waste of good piss.

This is basically the story of the GOP ca. 2015. Voters flocked to Trump because he was an outsider who didn’t apologize for being rough around the edges. Only, the lesson the GOP took was that you can ride populism to wild amounts of power if you’re willing to forget your morals and decency.
