So I'm left wondering what his play for the POTUS is
Honestly I don’t think he would even make it out of a fair Democratic Party primary. He would whiff it big with the Deep South, which is the most important region in Democratic primaries. Now given the recent track record I think there’s a good chance he gets a rigged primary and wins that, but he would flop in the general against basically anyone. He’s the white male Kamala Harris.

In fifty years the Latinos, Indians, East Asians and Muslims will have Irishified and the United States will be back to being 85 percent white.

Sure, but even within that mindset Roe isn’t great. I think she also touched on the backlash it caused and said it might have been better to let it progress through democratic means, but I could be misremembering.

All 12 members were killed in a vicious ambush set by the Free Wales Army.

I’m one of those users, but I’m in no way qualified to tell you what any kind of aerial phenomenona are.
Eh, it wouldn’t be as big a deal as you think. Cops and courts had been catching and charging drunk drivers for 80 years before the breathalyzer or other chemical testing even existed. The first one was in 1897.

I am solidly pro-choice, but I fully understand the pro-life's anger at Roe v Wade.
Even Justice Ginsburg once said that she thought that Roe was awkward law that probably set back the pro-choice movement a lot.

Probably they get rid of birthright citizenship but make an exception for anyone who’s gotten it to date. Which isn’t totally inconsistent because the Constitution frowns on the ex-post-facto application of laws.
The Stalin-haters won’t accept any source.
Edit: Kek, guys it’s just a meme

They’re putting up riot fencing around the Supreme Court building right now, which would seem to imply that they are going to rule against birthright citizenship.

Just because everyone hates the current regime doesn’t mean they’re going to agree on a replacement, especially since Westeros wasn’t even one country when the Targaryens arrived. Robert getting personally slighted by Aegon and going on a suicidal revenge spree finally created a scheming point for everyone to rally around. Many such cases in real history.

Those had the benefit of being run mostly through cutouts like Wagner or CIA SAD. Pretty different than NATO peacekeepers firing on officially flagged Russian Spetznaz.
Eventually, but if Blunt had just thought of his career and followed the order like a moron, I don’t think Jackson would have been able to make that call.
Also, this seems a bit anemic for a top level post.
That’s because I meant to post it in the Friday Fun Thread 😬
Why does English pop-rock musician and one-hit-wonder James Blunt get so little credit for saving the world from nuclear hellfire in 1999? He’s the Vasily Arkhipav of the 21st Century. He should have gotten the Medal of Honor for that.

Yeah well flashing your cop lights at me just because you disagree isn’t that nice either.

It’s not one base. The lowest mainstream media numbers are 250 separate impacts (and these are one to two thousand kilogram warheads) over at least 16 different facilities in the Middle East. I don’t mean to be a jerk, but you’ve clearly read very little of even just the basic media coverage about this.

I don’t think it’s unfair to call a base that’s been hit by so many missiles that it’s basically rubble and can’t be used anymore “glassed”. You are latching on to an at most slightly hyperbolic term.

However, I remain skeptical that you were being sincere in your claims that US military bases have been glassed and the IAF has been destroyed on the runway.
You might disagree on the degree. But look at the communications coming from Trump, Vance, Rubio, Netanyahu and Ben Givr. Does it sound like things are going really well to you? My version of events matches the chatter a lot better than the one where Iran is collapsing in two weeks.
Iran has hit far more U.S. military assets than reported, satellite images show
The Washington Post, May 7, 2026
*The End of the American Way of War?
“The Iran war has called into question the feasibility of the American way of war. For decades, the United States has premised its national strategy on the ability to fight using forces forward deployed close to enemy territory”
The Brookings Institute
Anon, this stuff is literally all just in the news, it’s just that no one is paying attending. Almost every major US base in the Persian Gulf has sustain serious damage (article 1) to the point that the military is concerned that they won’t be able to effectively forward deploy to the Middle East anymore (article 2). That’s just two articles I was able to find with five minutes on Google. There’s hundreds like this.
The Iran missile stockpile:
U.S. Intelligence Shows Iran Retains Substantial Missile Capabilities
“Secret new assessments say Iran has operational access to 30 of its 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting that its military remains far stronger than President Trump has asserted.”
The New York Times, May 12, 2026
The IAF thing:
Ramat David Airbase hit by missile fragment during Sunday's Iran escalation, IDF confirms to 'Post'
The Jerusalem Post, June 10, 2026
The article is currently claiming “minor damage” from a “missile fragment” but it was enough to cancel Israel’s planned 200 plane strike. Remember, this “minor damage” stuff was the party line we were hearing about the USS Gerald Ford for months.
And in any case, you are misapplying the rule to speak plainly. I’m not required to soooooooooource you just because you don’t like what I’m saying.
Everything that has been said about Mamdani was said word-for-word about Kennedy.
