Ukraine and the Kurds. They fight our wars for us and betrayal is all they get for it. Ukraine should let every Iranian tanker through.

Seems to not be a coincidence that every time a bunch of rumors pop up specifically about the insurrection act, media is kicked out of the building.

If you think about it, the best way to stop a momentous beast isn’t to focus on the momentum, it’s to focus on the head and where it’s going and then the momentum fizzles out on its own. Republican mantra has always been to make government as ineffective as possible so they can look at government and correctly assess that it’s ineffective. Previously they worked to starve departments of resources, and they’ve already done that to the extent that it wasn’t even legal. New strategy in Trump and beyond is just to appoint clowns and make the world’s biggest clown show in each of their respective agencies. The anti-government shit writes itself when you’ve got the likes of Malory McMorrow saying, “Medicare for all means someone like Trump would control it, do you really want that?”

She should be more scared of a noose around her husband’s neck when he’s convicted of crimes against humanity and treason. Jk she hates that loser too.

Can’t keep up production on tomahawk missiles? Put your money into space weapons. Makes about as much sense as anything this admin does, which is that it doesn’t until you see who the investors are.

5 months, that’s almost 14 whole scarmuccis.

SCOTUS: “Until it happens we can’t determine if it’s harmful.” Thanks sugarbabies. The world’s oldest democracy in action everybody.

Gays for Trump never had much prominence and you speak as if they make up a sizable chunk of a convention of 20k bigoted people. 3.8% percent of adults in 2016 identified as lgbtq and an estimated 14% of those voted for Trump that year. That means statistically there would be 99 lgbtq people there out of 20k, but:

On the night of July 17—the Sunday that check-in for the convention began—there was a 120 percent increase in users online in the area, more than all previous evenings in July. As of last Wednesday, a representative from Grindr tells Broadly, “more than a thousand guys have used the app near the Quicken Loans Arena.” The total attendance of the RNC is estimated to have been roughly 20,000 people, so this data suggests about five percent of attendees used Grindr during the convention.

If their data is to believed, that means that the stadium had over 10x the predicted amount of conservative lgbtq folks relative to the general population and survey results of preferred parties by noncloseted individuals and, in fact, had not only more gay individuals than the general population by percentage (which seems crazy for 14% support), but that they all used grindr, an app with less than 3 million global daily users at the time. It also doesn’t filter out the few women at that sausage fest.

It would appear that grindr has decided in this environment that it’s better to keep their head down. Obviously a typical major service like grindr uses cloudflare. They are not going to “crash” as a result of overusage in an area because any concentrated traffic is easily spread across their network and overloading traffic is handled by cloudflare seamlessly. Unless grindr is actively giving location Hotspot maps for every event I think any dismissal of the article’s evidence is in service of narrative rather than evidence, ironically.

It can be a meme and also be based in reality.

Downdetector isn’t a good source, which is the origin of the Dallas claims of outage, but Grindr itself is.

Nothing more cringey than obsessing over brain chemicals when you preach anti-scientific bullshit on the regular. The title of the article is also pretty dogshit, but probably speaks to a different person being in charge of the title than the body. He hasn’t backed down at all from the sentiment of his statements, which is that human gender terms don’t define an almighty god. Not that hard to understand if you’re not seething behind your micropenis syndrome worried that people getting gender affirming care are gonna be bigger than you too.

We’ve let death cultists chose policy for us for decades, so how is a death cultist with his own cult a significant departure from our standards?

Love this dystopia we’re building where a candidate can make endless money by speaking to issues people care about, gaining popularity, and then dropping out mysteriously. /s

The fact it’s now built into news coverage faster than any emerging market ever shows how much money is behind it, and how juicy the oligarchs view it as a method of further extraction.

Makes sense, she is incredibly Islamophobic, antisemetic, and above all, a slave to the Ellisons. Paying their fair share as the richest people in America would be unreasonable to her.

Well I’ll be damned. There was an interview. https://youtu.be/ysMKki0V3SM?is=ZfZYF8RUiWgsTn4o

I have no doubt they share a meaning of what uplifting minorities means, even today. Fuck them both

Replacing Flock cameras with Axon cameras is not the way. Don’t let them get away with pretending it’s all about Flock.

I feel like this whole article is written as if they got an interview with Hasan Piker, but they’re posing his response stream content to others as if they’re comments to the story. They also weirdly claim he’s worried about his stream revenue going down, when he’s never indicated this at all, just that it might.

I legit think Piker is what Jeffries and Kushner discussed.

That is exactly how they mean it except that if you want taxpayer dollars to benefit only white taxpayers then you’re not socialist to them, you’re a hard working American patriot.
