Sometimes I wonder if the bar for men is just a little bit too low.

When it comes to war and empire defense, there’s only one war party with a liberal and a conservative wing. Both parties just voted for another massive spending hike for the Pentagon, that the military doesn’t need and didn’t even ask for.

Nazis know how to choose dumb, unimaginative domains. Oathpreppers, seriously, guys?

The billionaire class already thinks and acts global, that’s why they’re two steps ahead of politicians and voters, who still think national and local. What does it matter to them when one country goes bankrupt? They just move over to the next.

You’ll end up at the wrong end of the law with that attitude, though, and if the other guy presses charges, he’s the one who walks away from that altercation with a victory.

Anyone can become a victim - that’s the reason why everyone who comes forward should receive support, and why we have to come up with systemic solutions to fight sexual assault and rape.

There’s a certain historic irony of the German chancellor lecturing an American president on democracy and the rule of law.

The days when “illegal” actually mattered are long gone.

With a generic picture of a white guy whipped from Getty Images, they could have called him Schweddy Ball and Trump would’ve been none the wiser.

True, but it’s about optics, and making it as difficult as possible for the Republicans to push through their agenda and nominations. It’s what Mitch McConnell did with great success during Obama’s tenure, and Obama actually nominated highly qualified people.

I’m almost certain his staffers made him think those were three white players. This is not a man who does his own research or knows how to “use the google”, so that would have been easy, and, like you say, an opportunity to make him look “presidential” for a change.

You know the answer to that question.

I’m amazed that he’s made it this far without a heart attack. It’s almost as if Karma hasn’t learned anything from letting Hitler escape multiple assassination attempts.

Jack Dorsay could make tweets in his account undeletable in about five minutes.

Hence why it was the least successful and most loathed in the post war era. “Never fired a shot” (Carter) just isn’t what Americans expect from their President. Murdering brown people at the other end of the earth is the initiation ritual of every President, like playing beer pong is for frat boys.

As a humanist, i find myself deeply at odds with patriotism, too. The left has always been internationalist, and strongest when it works together across borders. The long-term goal for any leftist should still be the dissolution of borders and the national state. Our main threats today - climate change,…

He looks like the high school football captain whe relentlessly terrorized the nerdy kids, only he’s gotten old and out of shape and longs for his glory years more with every passing day.

The older I get, the more I find the Civil War to be the worst mistake in American history. The South should have been expelled from the union after the war, with every free black being offered free passage and housing in the United States.

What a disgrace not to show up for such a close vote.

You do understand of course that the Republicans are not the only politicians who are guilty of war crimes?
