I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

It is so annoying I spend most of my life trying to make morally correct decisions and arguments that are HARD and some people can just spam the “men are men” and attack helicopter jokes button and get showered with millions of dollars and endless career success. Depressing.

This is maybe too grim, but like does anyone have any idea how the war ends at all at this point?
This “war ends after midterms” is insane.
Either they are subject to Iran’s whims, or too dumb to realized that keeping it going hurts them.

Excited to listen to this later, I recently listened to the diabolical lies discussion on trans athletes they did in 2025 and left frothing mad, so excited to see an updated as R’s put another 200 million into anti-trans ads.
New today on Phantom Island: @sydney-bauer.com spent a lot of time with me talking about the WNBA’s summer and how we do - and should - talk about transgender women in sports. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...
What should the conversation about transgender athletes sound like?

This is true. The Fox News media universe would be frothing at the mouth for the next fifteen years.
If Biden or Obama had started a war that led to attacks like these on American bases—and then covered it up for months—the political backlash would eclipse Benghazi.

What is with this? Where's this idea that men are inherently dangerous to kids come from?

My father, a West Point graduate, took off his class ring the day West Point decided to admit women, saying it "cheapened" his education.
Relatedly, he was such a terrible officer that he was kicked out of the military at O-3 after being twice passed over for promotion. Unheard of for academy grads
