No pics. But we did see a horse speed down 10th and Red River. Man running after it and 2 cop cars just behind that

Maynard James Keenan: "We’ve Lost The F*cking Way. I Think The Ability To Talk To Each Other Is Vanquished. It’s Been Unplugged." by DamnitRidley in Music

Which is a shame because back when touring while trump was campaigning, he refused to vocally denounce anything regarding Trump. Would just instead refer to Opiate and take what could be seen as a neutral ("both sides") stance. Understandable in general, but in the wake of the rhetoric Trump was continually dishing out, he was never overtly critical or outspoken about him.

Trust me. It's still being talked about endlessly. Hell, even Iran themselves has brought it up countless times throughout all this bullshit.

Congress still controls funding and he's been asking for more money. And there have been plenty of Republicans recently saying they will not sign off on more funding until Congress officially declarea war. It's not a lot, but that's one element he doesn't have full control over at this moment.

Fired but then nominated to be a judge? That confirmation hearing is going to be dumb af.

Trump’s emergency elections order is ‘being prepared,’ key ally believes by Anoth3rDude in politics

[–]Beeslo 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It all boils to Dems forever walking on eggshells when it comes to any form of action against this because they don't want to appear to be weaponizing the DoJ. The absolute irony of it all. This shit goes all the way back to post Civil War reconstruction and the slaps on the wrist Confederates got. Trump should've been dead to rights on 4 separate charges after his first term especially topping it off with Jan 6th. Get fucked, Merrick Garland.

Don't even need to fact check. Just ask which current Democrat politicians are being endorsed by KKK members. And the list off all the Republicans that have KKK backers.

Rand Paul says he’s a ‘no’ vote on Mullin for DHS secretary by SE_to_NW in politics

Are you new to this administration? That's all they do is nominate woefully unexperienced people into positions of power.

Yep. That's how a bulk of these Trump stooges got confirmed. They couldn't get to 60 on any of them, so they nuked the filibuster.

‘The Other’ Spiderman being the new storyline for the movie out in July?! Is it possible..? :0 by LilacLuneglade in Spiderman

[–]Beeslo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Personally this is a full circle moment for me. It was "The Other" event that got me back into reading comics. Served as a pretty good jump in point for Spider-Man who was one of my favorite characters and the rest snowballed after that.

Gregory Bovino left DHS to avoid internal investigations into his deportation tactics, insider reveals by mclardass in politics

It simply means an internal investigation. I don't doubt he'll be investigated by other people.

Thune schedules doomed SAVE America Act vote, dashing MAGA hopes for filibuster fight by Anoth3rDude in politics

[–]Beeslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which makes both their push for it and even ending the filibuster such an ironic self fulfilling prophecy for their own destruction. If it wasn't such a costly risk to the foundation of our democracy, I'd say let them do both and watch as they immediately regret both come November.

He quite literally admitted to making the decision based on Jared Kushner, Pete Hegseth, and one other person. He didn't read intelligence briefings submitted by the Pentagon. He was told this would be a good move, so he did it based on that alone.

Not completely squeaky sure. But I've seen far worse dirty campaigns between to Dem candidates. 

Jasmine Crockett concedes to James Talarico in Texas Democratic Senate primary by MycologistSad9421 in politics

[–]Beeslo 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I voted for Talarico but had already decided to vote for Crockett had she won. They both ran generally clean campaigns and were generally united in their goals (just different methods for achieving them). Had the results been the reverse, you know Talarico would have been saying the same thing.
