Who are these supposed adults in the room? The ones who uphold the "rules based order" we have come to accept because they attempt to conceal their atrocities from the public? Every US president in my lifetime (going back to Carter) is a war criminal. Donnie is just more brazen about it which makes his conflicts with the judicial system more publicized.

He's also a flat-earther who hates Elon Musk. Not for the valid reasons we do, but because he thinks Elon is the antichrist who is using his money to deceive the public by sending rockets into "space".

There is panic, but it is marginalized and fragmented because the ruling class knows there is no way to address climate change in a capitalist system.

One anonymous lone gunman is going to force more change to the health insurance industry than 20 years of empty Democratic campaign promises.

Look at this champagne socialist decadently feasting on, uh, bread, while riding a train.

The same sort of skepticism comes up whenever someone mentions new Chinese technical innovations or the fact that China now leads the world in published scientific studies- it is either stolen from the West or the quality of output is low so they must be gaming the system somehow. They can not comprehend a world where American superiority can be challenged without deceit.

In mid-March, the Israeli army acknowledged that it has been facing the biggest mental health crisis since 1973.

Yeah, slaughtering innocent civilians tends to weigh on your conscience. If it was this traumatizing to pull the trigger, just imagine how the other side felt.

We're having these false "existential threats to our democracy" crises with such frequency and regularity now that everyone will be too desensitized to the warnings when the actual threat does arise.

2 parties with identical policies but one of them is openly racist while the other is kind of ashamed of appearing racist so it tries to conceal it in public.

It seems like everyone just accepted the idea that the barbarous hordes from Gaza must obviously be raping any Israeli girl they could get their hands on, repeating those claims as if it were accepted fact. But it never made sense to me- not because such acts are beneath them, but due to the time and logistical constraints they were under during their limited time beyond the Gaza borders. But it seems like everyone, including every media outlet, wouldn't stop adding the accusations of rapes to the list of horrors Israelis faced that day.

That said, I am under no delusion that the hostages, once secured and taken to their base, are not at risk of being sexually assaulted. But nearly every interview I've seen with family members of (female) hostages seems to be highly concerned with rape as a likely outcome as if this is a common practice among Palestinians. I've seen many of them repeating that "Hamas is ISIS" and let their imaginations run wild with the worst possible scenarios.

But based on the hostages who have been released so far, we can at least say they were treated FAR, FAR better than the captives under US detainment in Abu Grahib or Guantanamo Bay.

I wonder just how much more provocation is necessary for libs to accept that violent retaliation is justified.
