  • Department of Defense to be renamed 'Department of War' within week, Trump says

    Jump

  • I'm so glad President Trump is focused on the important issues, like renaming bodies of water, mountains, schools, and federal institutions. I didn't need lower grocery prices anyway.

  • What State Has the Most Murders? 2025 Updated List

    Jump

  • It's almost like... Trump's crime crackdowns are completely divorced from reality and are based solely on state political affiliations and not actual crime statistics? Wow, I'm bloody shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

  • Kilmar Abrego Garcia expects to be detained by ICE again, attorney says

    Jump

  • They're never going to let this guy be free. They will continue to harass him and re-litigate this case forever until it eventually sticks. He needs to gather up his family and flee somewhere safe.

  • Trump, 79, Melts Down at Being Challenged to a Walk by Dem, 46

  • Fuck, that's dreary.

  • The first man to bankrupt three casinos will soon be the president who bankrupted the military budget with all these useless deployments.

    I hope as a side effect of this nonsense that cops everywhere feel emasculated, knowing that Trump holds them in such little regard that he feels the need to send in the national guard to do their jobs for them.

  • ‘Absolutely Disgusting’: Trump Sparks Fury By Joking He Can Cancel Future Elections If U.S. Gets Into a War

    Jump

  • He is NOT JOKING. This is his plan.

    You think he's deploying the military on US soil because he gives a fuck about law and order? Guess again. He's testing the waters now to see what he can get away with when the time comes.

    Federal elections have never been cancelled or postponed in the history of the nation. Not even for the Civil War, or WWII. It's mandated by the constitution.

  • Mike Johnson vows to fight California over gerrymander 'power grab' — but supports Texas

    Jump

  • Of course, hypocrisy is the modus operandi of the Republican party. They are just upset that we are finally starting to fight fire with fire, not because of what we are actually doing.

    If we do the same bad behavior that we've let the Republicans get away with for decades, their only recourse is to do what we have been unable to do and actually legislate some rules into place that bind everybody equally. I'm honestly fine with either path at this point, either everybody gerrymanders the fuck out their their districts, or nobody does.

    If this is what it takes to finally get some change in motion, I'm all for breaking every political norm in the book, and then setting the book on fire.

  • I laughed when a guy came in from Doordash and picked up one can of Formula. I thought crazy someone would do that. But he claimed that he once delivered a candy bar. Anyone know if that possible?

    Jump

  • I'm so baked right now I read the title and thought "Formula" was a brand of energy drink. Then I read your comment. Right, baby formula is a thing.

    I should to go to sleep, lol.

  • Codeberg: army of AI crawlers are extremely slowing us; AI crawlers learned how to solve the Anubis challenges.

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was gonna say... there are definitely way to push anything AI related into an unrelated existing outgroup. Just say the liberals are using AI to steal elections and BAM, just like that you've got all the MAGA zombies hating AI.

  • I'm down with that. Web 1.5? Let's do it. I'll get my Geocities page up and then we can rev up that hit counter.

  • Trump is deporting so many immigrants that it could cause inflation to hit 4% next year, top economist says

    Jump

  • Inflation numbers are already higher than expected. Can't imagine that it's going to be a rosy outlook for inflation over the next few years, or at the very least I wouldn't count on the numbers going down any time soon. Trump won't get his interest rate cut like he wanted so I fully anticipate he will continue to play tariff chicken with the rest of the world and by the time the fucker leaves office the economy will be in a goddamn ruin and the right will get to blame whoever swoops in to clean up the mess again.

  • My favorite genre, by far.

    Jump

  • Obviously there are still going to be holdouts no matter what the issue, but by and large people have come to accept that seatbelts are inherently good and should be worn at all times when in a moving vehicle. It's no longer a debate in the public discourse, there's just people who wear seatbelts and people who make excuses for why they shouldn't have to or don't want to.

    I see smoking in a similar light - it was a culture war that raged on for ages before finally the general zeitgeist came around to accepting the facts that the tobacco industry tried for so long to bury - smoking is bad for your health. Whether or not people chose to continue smoking or not is irrelevant, I just marvel at the fact that we actually won that culture issue. The good guys won, and justice prevailed.

    I just can't see us collectively coming together as a culture and agreeing on anything like that ever again. It's not that those topics were not politicized - they were - but we now live in a post-truth society where if we were still trying to debate about seatbelts or cigarettes there would be no way to break through the stubborn political trenches people have dug themselves into.

  • AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over

  • Nah.

  • I don't really give a shit about the AI race and I genuinely hope that we lose it, because I feel like being a winner in that "industry" is inherently unsustainable.

    The AI hype is so infuriatingly frustrating.

  • My brother's old ass Mazda had these. I thought it was a neat idea, but obviously flawed, even for the time they were new.

    Side thought: One thing that I have been thinking about from time to time recently is how the culture war on seatbelts was finally and definitively won. You don't hear people complaining on television anymore about how their freedom is being infringed by having to spend 3 extra seconds to buckle a seatbelt. I think kids today would be blown away with how much people argued about this back in the 90's. It was no joke the dumbest shit that people argued about at the office watercooler day in and day out for years.

    We really did have it good back then when the worst political bile we could muster was grumbling about whether or not seatbelts should be required to be worn while in vehicles. Meanwhile, fast forward to the modern day and we are seriously debating with each other whether or not certain people should have rights...

  • Trump Reportedly Offering Putin Natural Resources Off Alaska Sparks Fury

    Jump

  • Trump is handling the peace negotiations in the most spectacularly embarrassing way. Giving the aggressors in a conflict concessions in exchange for a pinky swear that they won't do it again? Wow, what a concept. Historically bulletproof strategy that has never failed or backfired in any way.

    I saw someone write once that Trump is so obsessed with making deals, and being known as a great dealmaker, to the point where the terms of the deal are often irrelevant to him. If the terms are favorable, he honors the deal. If he discovers later that the terms were not favorable to him, he reneges.

    This kind of behavior works when you are a billionaire developing real estate because the people he screws over rarely have the funds to fight him in court, and have their workers' livelihoods to think about. Even if they do take him on, or they get a law team to work pro bono, he drags out the court proceedings and delays paying court judgements, or he opts to settle for much less than what was promised initially.

    This doesn't work in geopolitics, but he doesn't know how to operate any other way. He wants to make a deal, and if he has to give away America's most valuable natural resources to close that deal, he'll do it. Doesn't matter if Putin has no intention of giving up the fight in Ukraine, Trump just wants to feel like he's some great peacemaker.

  • Should Jon Stewart Run for President in 2028? The Movement Is Growing — and It’s No Longer a Joke

    Jump

  • There's no such thing as unqualified anymore. I think picking a random person off the street and having them do the job would have statistically been more likely to perform better than Trump has done so far in either term. Even if that random person chose to do NOTHING and just continue to allow the government apparatus to churn unimpeded, it would have been preferable to what we got.

  • President Trump is only deploying troops to blue regions when most of the dangerous cities are in red states

    Jump

  • If there is another election, you can be absolutely certain he will rig it. Nobody is even bothering to push back against him this time. He can do whatever he wants to get his thumb on the scale, just like he is right now with redistricting.

    Also, I'm not even convinced he didn't rig the last one. He tried to cheat in 2020, failed, and nothing bad happened to him because the Democrats were too scared to put the full force of the law behind prosecuting him for it. Why wouldn't he cheat again? Why would he ever leave office if the SCOTUS rules that the President is immune to both civil and criminal prosecution?

  • I legit thought the name was satire, like The SoyPill on YouTube.

    Wow, it turns out he's actually serious. Jeez.
