I can’t help but laugh. “If we don’t attack Iran, they’ll attack us,” has now turned into, “Now that we’ve attacked Iran they’re definitely going to attack us!” There are no limits to their justifications for warmongering.

And why would we hope for that…?

Don’t forget the sinking of the Maine as pretense for the Spanish-American War.

Maybe I’m just not hearing about the Palestinian side of the armed conflict, but is that part still happening? This has felt very one sided for a long while.

I generally agree with the sentiment, but coded language is part and parcel of a compromised communication space. That it’s thinly veiled only really speaks to the exact nature of algorithmic censorship.

It’s a government official making a claim based on easily verifiable bad evidence, so if the whole thing wasn’t suspect before, it most certainly is now, right? Why should we give the benefit of the doubt? Not only has the administration not earned that right, they’ve shown over and over again that they don’t extend that benefit to anyone else.

It fucking amazes me that we don’t hold our leaders to a higher standard, and it worries me that people don’t seem to want to.

“Hellen, you were supposed to only do the left arm! What am I supposed to do with a whole baby!?”

When I go to a restaurant, I look for the steak holders.
