Based on how Dershowitz himself described the encounter, I think it’s more accurate to say Dershowitz accosted David. Because apparently what happened was Dershowitz saw David in the store and said hello to him, and David ignored him and walked away, and Dershowitz followed him with the “We can still talk” bullshit.…

Then we started another war with a country that our president had a personal grudge against because it’s leader tried to kill his daddy. Two wars at once is never a good thing.

I remember that time very well. The Military was going after teens to join the Military hard. They even set up recruitment offices with Xboxes. Kids would come in to play games. They were offering signing bonus. Of course if you got your ass blown up in under a year, you would have to pay that back. I saw a story…

That was the goal too. It just failed. And all the usual suspects are lining up now to declare that we can’t leave since our leaving is good for Russia/Iran/China/all three.

I think the ones who were exploited were the American taxpayers who bought a war on terror as we rallied around the flag to the tune of $2.26 trillion only for the country we occupied for 20 years to devolve into chaos minutes after we leave.

Content warning: violence

The US got exactly what it wanted out of its occupation of Afghanistan for decades — staggering amounts of wealth transferred to the military, defense contractors, and mercenary groups, continual justification for increased defense budgets, and a steady supply of dark money for our intelligence services via resumed…

Ignoring the history of the region — notably the US building (with money and guns and propaganda) a fundamentalist movement to destroy the pro-Soviet Afghan government (one which despite its many faults actually enshrined equal rights and education for women and girls), then claiming the lack of rights for women and…

I don’t think this piece gives too much power to feminists, per se, so much as it points out the easy/fundamental alliance between (white) Western bourgeois feminism and rapacious imperialism. Feminist lobbying did not make the US invade Afghanistan. It did, however, provide cover on the left (however you’d like to…

US foreign policy doesn’t give a shit about women. It’s not why we invaded 20 years ago. Women’s rights were used beatify the argument, but invasion would have happened anyway.

Turns out bombing people doesn’t turn them into feminists.

What is a man who kills babies with a spear gun supposed to look like?  Is there a difference in what he’d be supposed to look like if he’d killed them with a machete?  A pistol?  He’s a Qanon scumbag who murders babies.  Who cares what he looks like?  

Trump proved a major financial and cultural boon to Liberalism by giving them something to mock, campaign against, and feel superior towards without them needing to advocate for reform or meaningful systemic change. The ore-Trump status quo looks so good in comparison that they can all do grave news reports about…

Can we even say that Andrew Cuomo has apologized or that Chris did a good job of conveying an actual apology on his behalf.

I think it’s unlikely that anything will happen about this in the courts, but I don’t think that that means nothing will come of this.  A lot of people believe Giuffre and she’s chipping away at the special status held by a group of people who have long gotten a free pass.  She’s already likely been influential enough…

Really owning that username, huh?

Let me ask you this: SHOULD Trump have resigned? If the answer is “yes,” than Cuomo should resign for the same reason. 

I feel like another real improvement would be to stop companies in a number of industries from allowing customers to bully and mistreat workers. Companies are so thirsty for every last cent that they’ll empower any and all customers to terrorize workers and make their lives miserable. Most customers don’t take the…

it always cracks me up when people point to the $7.25 minimum wage and say it’s intended for high-school age kids to earn, not for adults to try to survive or raise a family on... while they go to fast food places during lunch, shop at WalMart during a quick work break, and go see a matinee movie in the middle of…
