Don’t you think giving all these execs AA stock is more of a punishment than a reward?

Good work if ya can get it

[Dissident West @dissidentwest]

He can unilaterally decide to wipe out an entire nation, but if a female judge in Vermont tells him he can't deport anyone he's powerless to do anything about it.

Clown world shit.

[Storyteller Lemmy @LemmySmackett]

"Jesus, Paul, look at this receipt—ten dollars for a single potato. This new Value-Mart AI surge pricing is killing me, man. Killing me."

“That’s nothing, Bill. Wait ’til the next update: the store will be able to see exactly how much money you have in your bank.”

“You’re kidding.”

“And your 401k.”

“@#$% me sideways.”

“That’s why I use URCHN to do my groceries.”

“Really? What’s URCHN?”

“URCHN is the latest in affordable concierge shopping.”

“Oh, you mean like Uber or Instacart. What makes them different?”

“Orphans.”

“𝑂𝑟𝑝ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑠?”

“That’s right, Bill. And not just any orphans. Dirty, starving orphans who live under overpasses.”

“Uuuh.”

“As you know, the cameras in the grocery aisle scan your face and adjust the price based on race, socioeconomic status, and dietary restrictions. But you know who always gets the best prices, no matter what?”

“…orphans?”

“Yep.”

“I don’t know, Paul, that seems a little-”

“Of course, the AI still discriminates based on race, which is why they send a multi-racial team of no less than four dirty orphans to buy your groceries.”

"Um."

“The Latino child buys your rice, and the Asian child buys your tortillas.”

“Yeah, no, I get it.”

“And the black child-”

“Sorry, uh, these are children, right? Small children?”

“Of course. Teens would raise the price.”

“How do they, uh, reach the items on the top shelves?”

“They stand on each other’s emaciated little shoulders.”

"Jesus."

"Yeah, the Hispanic orphan tends to be on the bottom."

"What?"

"Sturdy stock."

“…and how much do you save?”

“My last potato was 34 cents.”

“#$&@ it, I’m in.”

Remember: it was bin Laden's complaint about Naftali Bennett murdering 106 women and children at Qana, Lebanon in 1996 that convinced Mohamed Atta to join al Qaeda and attack the United States, killing 3,000 and kicking off a generation of more war for Greater Israel's goals.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

I am opposed to this War.

This is not “America First.”

When Congress reconvenes, I will work with @RepRoKhanna to force a Congressional vote on war with Iran.

The Constitution requires a vote, and your Representative needs to be on record as opposing or supporting this war.

[Dave Smith @ComicDaveSmith]

Well, that was the quickest regime change I’ve ever seen or remember reading about. I have to admit, I’m surprised and, frankly, impressed that they got Maduro so quickly.

A couple of things that I think are important to remember here:

This whole thing was sold on lies (like all wars). This was never about drugs and all you have to do is look at the percentage of drugs that come from Venezuela to know that. Trump overthrew a sovereign government without authorization from congress for reasons that he won’t tell the American people, none of whom wanted this war.

The most important question is always ‘what comes next?’ and it’s a question DC is famous for ignoring. In the case of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen it was disaster, despite all of the war hawks immediately celebrating the “success.”

I hope what comes next is better for the people of Venezuela and the region but I’m not optimistic. These events have a tendency to destabilize. And, unlike the Middle East and North Africa, this is in our backyard and we will pay a steeper price if the results are another destroyed country.

[Auron MacIntyre @AuronMacintyre]

Both Israel and Qatar have become critical outposts of the American empire in the Middle East

And now, just as George Washington himself predicted, there is a proxy war of foreign influence being fought between these two countries inside the American political apparatus

Senators, media influencers, and tv personalities all acting in the interests of foreign governments while pretending to be outraged at the idea of foreign influence

I don't want to support either of these countries, I don't want their representatives to wear American patriotism as a skin suit to cover for their real motivations

I am tired of seeing my country used by foreign actors

[Easy Money Landing 🛬 @autopilot_chill]

Admit it—the 757 with new engines and lighter gear was the plane we all wanted.

A re-engined 757 would’ve eaten the MAX’s lunch and Airbus’ dinner. 🥘

[Voödoo 6 von Inyanga @6Voodoo]

The only compliant I have about the narco missile thing is we should be using old dive bombers on those. We could even broadcast it live and every family member has their favorite pilot. Technology is for nerds. We go harder. Sink evil doers like your grandpappy did.

[Eddie N @enowacki]

@martyrmade Thanks for bringing up the peculiar institution series at the beginning. I’m going to have to re-read them all now. Can’t wait for the E book.

@MCCCANM What app is this?

[KC-10 Driver ✈️ 👨‍✈️ B-737 Wrangler @MCCCANM]

Nobody seriously expected China to release to results of their investigation & we all strongly suspect what happened based on the video.

[Fenix Ammunition @FenixAmmunition]

As all of you know there was an attempted mass shooting at a church only 20 minutes from us, this past weekend.

One of the church members witnessed the shooting happening and used his Ford F150 to run over the mother fucker, and unfortunately in doing so the truck took a bunch of incoming rounds and was completely totaled.

Let's make sure this hero gets a new whip.

[Martyr Made @martyrmade]

Unbelievable. It probably won’t make a difference, but it’s still important to speak up so that people in the future will know that not everyone went along with this.
