Explosion – The Politicus

WYFP? don't call tankies Cheugy, it's the new “neat” or “nifty”

MFP is neologisms that get sticky. Cheugy is the latest, being a term that Generation Z calls Millennials, perhaps it’s the revival of more postmodernism. Generation Z consumer-brand attacks on Millennials consumption habits may be all that Gheugy is about. Proud Boys and their golf polos may be Cheugy, if only...

Minerva @ Midnight: tragedy versus cynicism because Tucker Carlson calls mask-wearing child abuse

Peak cynicism has arrived. Tucker Carlson pimps a version of the nanny-state with more police confrontations because he thinks cops should stop children from wearing masks by enforcing child abuse laws. Apparently making a child wear a mask is like punching them in the face or the equivalent of exhibitionism....

That's one way to try halt public debate in this country: by threatening mass violence and a bloody people's revolt in the streets. That's what conservative media voices, including those on Fox News, have done in recent days. Specifically, the reckless rhetoric has revolved around proposed new gun laws in the...

What is going on ? Where is our protection from insanity? First nukes and now all of this?

I can’t even get outraged anymore, because nothing really shocks me. I think we all are wandering around angry and afraid and numb. Police have issued explosion warning regarding experimental launch in Texas tomorrow. A small community of people at the southern tip of Texas just received what some of...

Warren on impeachment: 'Every single person in Congress should be called on to vote'

Progressives and a smattering of non-cowardly conservatives have gone on record as saying Donald Trump is a straight-up criminal who is (badly) masquerading as a pr*sident. But because so many Republican members of Congress have bone spurs where their spines should be, the chance of an impeachment and a conviction...

Jake Tapper laughs in Pence's face: 'We don't have the cleanest air and water in the world'

On CNN this morning, Mike Pence tried to summon as much gravitas as he could — veering dangerously close to the event horizon of fatally constipated — in order to sell a few of those common-sense homespun lies that play so well in the heartland. He sounded like an ass...

Although this incident looks like it will be more rapidly contained that the one last month, today’s isobutylene tank explosion in Houston has tragically resulted one death, and left two others in critical condition as of this writing. There’s no apparent connection between the two events, which occurred at facilities owned by...

Israel Appears To Be Launching A Major Operation In Syria

This evening — the same evening that Trump announced the termination of the Iran deal, and shortly after Netanyahu’s return from Moscow – Israel has started launching a wave of heavy missile strikes within Syria, in retaliation for an Iranian missile strike against Golan. What are they targeting? In addition to things that...

There was an attempted terror attack last Friday on a U.S. airport, and no one is talking about it.

This is pretty amazing. As explained by Shaun King at the Intercept, a terror attack on a U.S. airport was narrowly foiled just this past Friday: On past Friday morning, at 12:39 a.m., security footage from the Asheville Regional Airport in North Carolina showed a man walking through the front...
