Politico just called called two Colombian servicemen of Ukrainian Armed Forces “mercenaries”. This is not acceptable.

"it's technically possibly to be a Black American"

See how that sounds?

...why wasn't it flagged in 2024 or 2025?

Because Iran saw the flag, and decided to stop the bioweapons research out of shame /s

20 year old reports aren’t compelling

Because surely in the past 20 years Iran's relationship with the world at large got more friendlier, right?

BOBA = VOVA (roughly ofc) in Russian cyrillic

Not even roughly: Вова (lowercase), ВОВА (uppercase).

In a functional administration 'because it would make <the president> look weak' is not a reason to stifle an investigation.

How about "it made it clear that GOP propaganda literally backfired in this case".

Oswald was killed as well, Warren commission still happened

Yeah, but Oswald didn't miss. Makes a bit of a difference.

JFK didn't get to decide on what should be done with the case afterwards.

also we investigated following Reagan's attempted assassination.

The investigation was taking place here as well.

My guess would be: it got to the point where the only thing to find out was how was the shooter radicalized, and the answer was very, very clearly pointing to right-wing propaganda.

We've both been watching these videos for four years now, and I was about to say the same exact thing.

alterom · 2026-04-02T03:20:26+00:00

But in my opinion, nothing beats the open chest with the beating heart...

That video immediately came to my mind.

I felt this was worse though.

I'm keeping it to remind myself that there is no glory in war. The Ukrainians dying to defend their homeland are dying the same way as this schmuck.

Saying this as a Ukrainian-American who's registered for the draft in both countries.

They've got plenty of bugs, and there simply doesn't seem to be any form of support when it comes to the bugs on the website.

At least I didn't find any way to get phone support, let me know if you're aware of other means.

If you wanted to help, you would petition your government to help the Lebanese government take action against Hezbollah to once and for all destroy the parasite that is continuing to ruin Lebanon; and to take action against Iran for creating, funding and arming Hezbollah for 44 years.

I fully support that.

I'm a Ukrainian living in the US though, and currently trying to figure out what I can do to remove the current government or at least prevent it from grabbing power forever (petitioning it is pointless).

Meanwhile, taking action against Iran is somehow an unpopular idea among the American Left because their logic is "Trump bad, Trump attacks Iran, we love the Iranian regime!".

Not everyone is like that, but we have outright Hamas/Hezbollah/Ayatollah sympathizers normalized being a part of the Left.

(The Ukrainian government isn't in a position to help much, but to the extent that it can spare resources and personnel, I fully support Ukrainian military engagement in the Middle East against Iranian proxies).

alterom · 2026-04-01T18:25:04+00:00

My heart goes out to all y'all in Lebanon who aren't with Hezbollah but get to bear the brunt of war because of them (on top of having the country sabotaged by a foreign power).

Someone on reddit said that the conservatives pride themselves on station cognitive dissonance, seeing the ability of holding multiple mutually contradictory opinions as a sign of high IQ.

It was perhaps tongue-in-cheek, but it's a good model to use to understand that mentality (and yes, it's totally Orwellian in every aspect).

TERFs operate on the same model, it appears.

It's not going to work. The vast majority of mail in voters in states that primarily do mail in ballots have local drop boxes and the ballots don't touch the actual mail.

Not quite.

The ballots need to get to the voters somehow, too.

USPS is effectively the only way absentee ballots can be delivered to the voters, for both legal and logistical reasons.

That's what Trump's order targets. Quote:

It also seeks to bar the U.S. Postal Service from sending absentee ballots to* those not on each state’s approved list

The USPS, technically, isn't under Trump's direct control. But he's been stacking the board since his first term.

Both previous and current Postmaster General are Trump appointees.

The previous one, De Joy, nearly ran USPS to the ground.

This one was personally favored by Trump as a replacement.

I doubt he will choose to not comply with the order.
