What site was attacked? I don’t think the article mentions it.

Thank you for saving me a click

Good point. At the risk of making it sound cool, I’ll say that confederate flags are the OG MAGA gear.

I’m amazed nobody has mentioned a confederate flag (or confederate anything) yet. My first assumption would be that they’re racist and proud of it.

One of those giant stickers meant to make it look like there’s a tied up woman in the back of their pickup.

At best, it’s advertising that they think abusing women is funny.

So far, I’ve only seen one of those. They’re so stupid looking that if it had been by itself, I wouldn’t have been able to tell if it was meant as a joke. They also had one of those “thin blue line” American flag stickers, though, so that cleared it right up.

Are you telling me that something I learned in grade school wasn’t 100% accurate? My world is shattered!

Sarcasm aside, thanks for the info

True, but it wouldn’t be as ironic. I like the idea of tricking fascists into supporting causes they hate.

I didn’t even know this was a thing. I’ll definitely watch out for it.

In grade school, I was told that naming modern-day Greenland “Greenland” was a deliberate decision made with the intent of luring people into moving there. Marketing, basically. Don’t know how true that was, and I don’t remember any mention of Vikings.

This headline irritates me. If it was a person, I’d tell it to fuck off for assuming I use AI.

Did this pic make anyone else think of Robotech? I half expect a Zentradi to climb out of that cockpit.

I know your point is serious, but reading about the pathetic turnout for his ridiculous parade made me chuckle.

Damn

From The Middle East Eye:

It [the Samson Option] is in stark contrast, say analysts, to the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD), where if one nuclear power pre-emptively attacked another, then the targeted nation would still have time to retaliate, ensuring neither would survive.

I must be missing something important. I don’t understand why the Samson Option is “in stark contrast” to MAD. I mean, everyone still dies, so they seem pretty similar to me.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Okay, relatively minor point here, but doesn’t this seem like an odd closing sentence? This is how you end a letter to a cereal maker when you find a Fruit Loop in your Cheerios. It’s not how you end a tweet when you’re talking about assassinating a major political/cultural figure and possibly triggering WWIII.

My upvote is contingent on the fact that I read this as sarcasm

In my area, sometimes I’ll see people selling MAGA shit by the side of the road. I’ve considered doing it and sending the proceeds to the ACLU or the Southern Poverty Law Center.

More than you think, especially when you have to constantly replace the crayons. People will eat them.

I use Germany (appropriately, I think) as my tool for comparison.

It took Germany generations to overcome the pariah status and national shame caused by Hitler. Granted, the U.S. hasn’t started a war or Holocaust (yet), but we’re directly supporting and encouraging one, and the mass deportations are a sort of “Holocaust lite”. Plus, I think there’s a good chance that we’ll end up attacking Iran.

It’s going to take about sixty years of continuous, uninterrupted “good behavior” for the U.S. to regain any credibility, and that’s just counting what Trump has pulled so far. Still, I don’t think the U.S. will ever be able to completely outlive this.

Driving is complex. Knowing what to pay attention to when takes time to learn.

I recommend not trying to drive a manual until you’ve already learned the basics in an automatic. In my opinion, learning to drive AND learning how to handle a manual transmission is too much at once.
