Sunday non-political post. Congrats big tech and media, you have done it! You have made it so difficult to be an out of market fan, and to see games I pay for I'm done. It's back to rabbit ears (digital) and going to my local backers bar. We are gonna fandom like it's 1999. Go Bills

Russia is sending weapons and intelligence to Iran for the purpose of killing American soldiers. This is literal treason to give aid and comfort to a co-beligerent in a currently ongoing war.

Just want to point out nothing is stopping him from building say, a hospital and naming it after himself. It might actually boost his popularity. Instead these people don't know how to create. They only know how to exploit and steal.

Q: But why do you want you name on the memorial for President Kennedy? TRUMP: Because we should be recognized, the Trump administration

You know, do it. Fucking do it, we can always use more ad material for the general election. We've rebuilt DC before we can do it again.

Here's the threat from the Kennedy Center's Trump-appointed board. Without "appropriate recognition" of Trump on the facade it's "unlikely" there will be any financial rescue. Board then lists 10 options for slapping his name on the building. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Have you ever threatened to stop buying food from the grocery store unless your mortgage company lowered your rate? No of course not because you have a working brain. Sadly our current WH occupant does not have such constraints. www.cnbc.com/2026/09/04/t...

FYI Mapquest has a navigation app and they are not playing the stupid renaming shit because Temu Mussolini demanded it. Is it any good? No idea I haven't used it yet, but I'm giving it a try.

If you pull up flight tracker Iran appears to have regular air traffic over its territory. Not something you would expect in a country being bombed into submission.

GOOD NEWS GARY JOHNSON! we have a new worst foreign policy answer in political history.

Just gonna throw this out there. The Korean war never ended, we only have a decades-long ceasefire. We are still at war with North Korea and one could argue this is aid and comfort. Just saying...

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

For the first time in US history, America betrays South Korea, one of our closest allies for over 75 years. These exercises in various forms have taken place every year since 1974.

I am seeing a lot of comments from people saying he can't, he won't, it wouldn't work. It's hard the fathom people still saying "it can't happen here" after two years of watching it happen here in real time. Will he try this? Maybe, and that should be enough to sober you up.

🚨🚨🚨 WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: You have the right to declare a national security emergency for elections. If you do this in the next month, we will get photo ID, proof of citizenship, and a limit to mail ballots TRUMP: Let me just say stranger things have happened. I'll leave it at that

Criticism of Bush and the second Iraq war are more than justified. But JFC at least didn't end up getting new demands from Saddam after failing to achieve all our military objectives. While also weakening our global capabilities. apnews.com/article/yeme...

So play hard ball, declare him incapacitated and announce a special election. Let's be honest, we would want a Dem in that seat but Massie winning a special election to become a senator would also be funny as shit.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

We all know this still stinks to high heaven. Gov. Andy Beshear says he still hasn’t received an official update from Sen. Mitch McConnell. “I’ve had no official response. Nothing sent to our office, no letter, no email.”

Myself and two associates just had a 20 minute conversation with Mitch McConnell. We covered subjects such as the midterms and Iran. Sadly not much more than that as Ouija boards are a slow means of communication.

Huh, maybe the guy with a Nazi tattoo and a checkered past wasn't the best option to go all in on. Yes he was an outsider who said all the things you wanted to hear, and you ignored the red flags because of it. Reflect on that and do better next time. www.cnbc.com/2026/07/06/g...

Blue states who are usually net tax payer states need to start making mutual aid compacts. Democracy is non-negotiable

NEW: States will reportedly lose tens of millions of dollars in DHS funding meant to prevent terrorism and prepare for natural disasters unless they adopt draconian changes to their election procedures at the demands of Trump. Now, election officials are condemning the effort.

If you need a reminder Trump is a symptom of a larger issue. Just look at all the people upset over the holiday today that commemorates -checks notes- The end of fucking slavery.

Looks like our first look at our articles of surrender. Point 1 is funny in how unenforceable it is. Iran clearly ties Israel to this agreement which Israel was no party to in negotiation, and has openly said does not care about. Iran will take the cash then call it null after an IDF airstrike.

Since I haven't seen a post with all of it screenshotted and alt-texted in one place, here's the Iran MOU as hudson.org Adjunct Fellow Josh Block is reporting it on Twitter.

I think it's funny they are missing why Zelensky probably asked. He KNOWS we can't produce high end weapons fast enough to defend yourself in a prolonged drone war. Something you would want to highlight if you want to sell your own more economical systems post war.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

BRENNAN: But there is a crisis with those weapons stockpiles right now HEGSETH: No there is not. That is a manufactured story that the media wants to peddle BRENNAN: You have testified to it in front of Congress HEGSETH: You don't have to read back to me what I testified

We just need one news outlet to take a stand stating they will no.longer being doing Trump interviews. Then point out there is no point in broadcasting rambling answers not based in clear reality.

In all the GOP pearl clutching about the Democrat Twitter account calling Miller an ugly fuck. Did you notice none of them said he wasn't ugly, not even his wife?

I hope this brings a measure of comfort to the families of those service members killed. Their children did not die for nothing, they died to give Iran 25 billion dollars.

There are many reason to hate the Bush jr admin but let's compare his military adventure this one. Baghdad captured and Iraqi government removed after about 22 days Clear military objectives Congressionally authorized Congrats on running a worse war than Dubya.

MURKOWSKI: Has the administration considered seeking an authorization for use of military force from Congress? HEGSETH: Our view is that should the president make the decision to recommence, we would have all the authorities to do so under Article 2

Wow, even Trump can't afford his own gas prices. (Also Iran I'm sure is telling him to pound sand)

Trump: "We're not going to be traveling 15, 16 hours to have a meeting with people that nobody ever heard of. Too much travel. Takes too long. Too expensive. I'm a very cost-conscious person."

Republicans entered this election cycle with the childish delusion that they could gerrymander, and that no one would gerrymander them. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.

NBC News@nbcnews.com

BREAKING: Virginia voters approve a Democratic redistricting plan that could allow the party to pick up as many as four new seats in the midterm elections, NBC News projects.

So.... Any of you "Genocide Joe / Harris" protest voters gonna admit you fucked up? If you want to apologize to the people of Iran though, you should probably hurry. (No I will never forgive you for your juvenile naivety that brought us to this point)

For the love all that is good please stop flying Iranian flags at anti war protests. Nothing will kill your credibility faster than flying these and an Iranian proxy does carry out an attack on US soil.

An authorization of force should not be voted on on Monday. The time to do that was on Friday. If our system was functioning articles of impeachment would be voted on tomorrow instead.

Time for a controversial opinion. In a year of SB ads playing it safe and being muted the Dunkin commercial was an attempt at something at the very least.

All they had to do to avoid this wave of national outrage was wait until they knew who they shot, and throw one ICE agent under the bus. The fact they didn't means; A. They are amazingly stupid B. Escalation is the goal Take your pick honestly, I think it's a mixture of both.

I'm not advocating for violence, but Walz has to understand something. If he continues to choose inaction eventually people will take matters into their own hands. That's when things will spin fully out of control. That will play right into Trump's hands.
