Did he seriously just try to parrot The American President? Because Michael Douglas is way way way out of his league.

Hmm, wonder if the mass torture program could have caused someone to assume 2007 GB "interrogations" weren't valid. Let's make sure that the lessons learned from the botched wars and torture programs actually stick. Unfortunately not admitting a confession under questionable means is one of them.

In case you need even more reason to love offshore wind, this pilot development in Scotland demonstrates how amazingly renewable these systems can be, not just for energy but for marine biodiversity. Wind rocks! #sustainability #windpower #renewableenergy www.ecoportal.net/en/robot-ins...

The entire effort is to suppress voting, but I do take a little bit of issue with the D vote piece. Substantially more conservative women change their last name. This is an effort to suppress the female vote, regardless of political leaning. That's, IMHO, a more important story.

These aren't moderate Democrats. Oligarch-owned bootlickers in sheep's clothing that have been undermining the will of the party since they failed to block Obama but somehow managed to block Bernie. And they need to remember that the money comes from the voters, not from the sellouts.

Hahaha, why would Mamdani ever do that? Jeffries needs him far more than Mamdani needs Jeffries. And society needs Mamdanis far more than it needs Schumer bootlickers.

People conflating systematic pattern recognition and learning therefrom with intelligence drives me crazy. The current missing element to AI is core morals and values that inform the pattern recognition and the outputs derived therefrom.

The fact that the government is a weapons broker is beyond horrifying. Fees for introducing arms manufacturers to friends and family basically is the definition of corruption. Don't care which side started it, don't care which side is doing it. Ick.

And yet, somehow, they still haven't dealt with the nuclear program. 🤣🤣🤣

Oh look, Klobuchar again kissing Republican ass. Minnesota, we need to do so much better at our gubernatorial primaries. Electing someone who has no actual values except getting and keeping power would be a huge tragedy for our state.

www.reddit.com/r/politics/s... How bout you deal with our internal issues instead of bloviating on TV. Our leadership is a bunch of toadying shmucks who've admitted the only thing differentiating them from Trump is slightly less bigotry. Remove Jeffries. Remove Schumer. And then we'll trust you.

Being at 50/50 with white men is still devastating. He lost maybe 20% of the voters. The fact that 80% of the people who voted for him still support him shows what an absolutely incompetently batshit voting public we have.

These were side by side on Reddit. This is how the world sees the US. When is Fox going to decide that even their non-existent standards have been breached? When is enough going to be enough for MAGA?

Hormuz represents about 20% of the world's oil traffic. The below map shows, in orange, the oil and LNG traffic in relatively speaking real time. You can see incoming ships from Canada, for example, as well as Red Sea traffic. www.vesselfinder.com?imo=9773301

Today, House Democrats tried to bring another War Powers Resolution to the floor. Republicans blocked us. As gas prices soar and troops are put in harm’s way, the GOP continues to be complicit in this reckless war.

This, right here. They've demonstrated they can shut down the world with a few strategically placed anti ship mines. Concrete proof of that has now monetized the Straight for them, and dropping a bomb on a bunch of children has irretrievably damaged the US.

Rini @rini1983.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Amen. I never understood the superiority culture when it comes to reading. Enjoy what you love, be prepared for that to change over time, and be happy for people who've found their groove, even if it's not yours.

Rini @rini1983.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

I mean, he's not wrong. It was agreed, long ago, with Obama, that Iran would have no nuclear weapons and the Straight would remain open. Too bad Trump blew that up...

Rini @rini1983.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Cool, so what's the plan? Because I'm definitely not hearing anything about removal from any of your colleagues. Please feel free to remind them that their fake outrage isn't playing well come their election cycle.

Lol, say that a little louder, it will definitely ensure Iran and any other treaty counterparts believes the US going forward.

I'm actually pissed they even gave him this 12 hour off-ramp. He needs to be forced to face the consequences of his disastrous rhetoric, instead of being bailed out by the rest of the world.

Oh look, the Straight is closed again. Who could have predicted that?

Rini @rini1983.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

The world doesn't much care about genocide. It really only cares if their direct interests are being impacted. No one would have fought WWII if Hilter stuck to slaughtering people in Germany. Plenty of 21st century evidence of this...

Rini @rini1983.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

On what planet is agreeing to open the straight, that was open before these illegal bombings, merely a gesture of good faith. Opening the straight is a capitulation that Iran will not make. It's their last meaningful point of leverage, and if this is the negotiation strategy, it's already doomed.

Rini @rini1983.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

It's illegal. Say it. And then find a way to send him to the Hague.

Rini @rini1983.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

But they won't, because they likely voted for this, too. Every vet who voted for him knew how he thought of those in service and chose to vote for him anyways.

Rini @rini1983.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

The people who didn't vote also voted for this.

Simultaneously accelerating their development of nuclear weapons, installing an even more hardline leader, and creating an oil chokehold for Iran is a feat even Putin couldn't have hoped to have his asset achieve.

I guess they think that those of us who bailed because of their toadying will decide this is magical and come back?

I really want to know how his voters can possibly believe this. This isn't even something that takes intelligence. I mean, the Bible, the one book they're arguably at least somewhat familiar with, talks about retaliation.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Iranian oil to its buyers isn't going to stop flowing, what with them knowing where the mines are and not bombing their own ships.

Rini @rini1983.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

Unfortunately Thune is right, because Schumer and friends are too chickenshit to actually use it. They had every opportunity to cut what's been happening off at the pass by not voting for cloture a year ago. They had another opportunity in the fall. Each time they caved and it only got worse.
