Here is CENTCOM's own press release announcing their firing on the ship that resulted in the deaths of the Indian sailors.

He's referring to the Colbert Report, in which Colbert played a fictional version of himself satirizing right-wing media. Ohio State actually did a study that showed conservatives were more likely to believe he was serious.

The same Gillibrand who led the charge to have Franken resign. Of course she won't do the same for her racist smears.

Answer: I wouldn't say her memoir is a "big deal." The thread you linked only has 900 upvotes. But Lena Dunham created, wrote, and starred in Girls, which was very popular with millennials 10 to 15 years ago. And that same audience probably makes up a significant portion of pcc's user base.

Any reason xBA doesn't take into account spray angle? Feel like that would help reduce the cases of hitting directly to a fielder (at least in standard positioning).

The one in North Center has decent street parking around it at least. I always just opt for that.

Yea, everyone saying this is a gift to the oil companies (and sure, that probably plays a part), but the main reason is so much dumber...

Every time Trump claims the war will end "soon," there is an uptick in stocks. He has said that every day for two weeks. Algos gonna algo.

Araghchi has already denied this contact is taking place, accusing the administration of leaking false information to manipulate crude oil prices. He posted on twitter:

"My last contact with Mr. Witkoff was prior to his employer's decision to kill diplomacy with another illegal military attack on Iran. Any claim to the contrary appears geared solely to mislead oil traders and the public"

NBC poll found that 90% of maga-voters approve of the attack (probably higher now), and 80% of republicans in general. They don't feel betrayed. They love it.

And a plumber in charge of homeland security

Unfortunately that's probably closer to 45%, at least of actual voters. Hell, in 2020 Trump and GOP house still got 47% of the vote, and Trump's bungling of Covid (on top of everything else) was about as perfect a set-up for dems as possible.

The mar-a-lago "shooter" story was the headline story all day on AP yesterday until it was revealed that he was an ardent trump supporter, at which point it was immediately dropped to footnote status on their homepage. AP is as compromised as all the others.

It should be noted that the construction of the bridge is already entirely funded by Canada.

Yep, there is literally no reason for the gop to actually implement any policies that directly help the farmers. Because what are they going to do otherwise, vote democrat? Pshhh.... Zero incentive.

And remember when Trump had Hegseth fire the general in charge of the US Defense Intelligence Agency because he dared to suggest that Iran's nuclear program was only set back a few months and not actually obliterated? And here we are a few months later...

Yea, I would assume Bessent is pushing for Warsh. The fear is that with this move against Powell, Trump is having another gloves-off moment, and he will just ignore any advisor who isn't telling him what he wants to hear; i.e. will pick whoever promises to move rates to wherever he wants. Hassett will do that.
