    the military machine got rich, so it’s all good in their eyes – doesn’t matter which side you’re on if you run the war

    Sanctity

    Keep in mind these people use that same word when they say gays shouldn’t be allowed to get married…because it runs the sanctity of marriage.

    It’s not their multiple divorces, and rampant infidelity, having kids out of wedlock, diddling kids, or anything like that, it’s 2 dudes blowing each other that defiles the sanctity of marriage according to them

      Man, I remember watching Meet the Press one Sunday morning when Kelly-Anne Conway coined the term (and theme of the then-upcoming decade-plus) “alternative facts”.

      They’re fucking proud of it.

      They see getting away with hypocrisy as a flex, one more way to ‘own the libs’.

        It polled like 30%.

        which once again, means nothing because MAGAs will still vote for them and Democrats voters are more likely to stay home than to vote

    If U.S. citizens truly have a problem with how utterly undignified, unprincipled, and corrupt their government is, perhaps they should fight back, because it’s not just the disgraceful image being projected here—it’s the downfall of the world’s most powerful economic nation.

    But hey, it’s probably better to live under the thumb of other autocratic countries, whose leadership at least acts rationally.

    This ridiculous spectacle only shows the world what to expect from the U.S. If the U.S. were a person, it would be an incel: that’s the kind of values and intellect this country represents.

    That might appeal to billionaires, but they’re not the majority…

      I’m not sure of what to call this technique you’re using. Maybe ‘The Circle Technique’ because it’s ultimately about starting a revolution? It also has the doom loop, so maybe?

      • doom loop (make everything seem like we’ll never see the end of it, etc.)
      • how about a revolution?
      • you won’t do it, you’re too weak pussies.
      • bury the person calling it out.

    Well, Zelensky already desecrated the sanctity of the White House, so now Donny can do what he wants because you can’t desecrate what is already desecrated. Thanks Zelensky.
