As per tradition, the US will sign an agreement with Iran, leaving the region with more instability, the US with less advantage, and having spent billions of dollars and, of course, the lives of US servicemembers, not to mention untold civilian lives.

At home, Americans have effectively lost economic power through war inflation, while billionaires have consolidated more wealth.

In short, a typical war.

This is so deeply embarrassing and shocking at the same time. Navigate to whitehouse.gov/aliens/ and you will see a page that at first glance appears to tease unclassified information about aliens from outer space "walking among us." But as you scroll down it becomes apparent the White House is referring to immigrants in the US.

I realize the POTUS has said far worse in plenty of Executive Orders that are published on whitehouse.gov, but this is just disgusting to see.

but they do make a few good arguments that are independent of their provenance

things that would still be true if theyd never been written down at all, let alone by dead white slaveowner dudes

Ah crap, saw the Palantir manifesto

Here we go.
