Hamas is shooting men after the hostage transfer. How is that a ceasefire?

McGraw declared at the time he launched Merit Street Media, "American families and our core values are under attack. Together we are going to stand strong and fight for the very soul and sanity of America." How is this in any way pro Trump?

The US is not a member of the ICC and the killing is taking place in international waters, so they are no help. Looks like he is our problem and we have to deal with him.

Carol Stanton @castanton.bsky.social · 8h

Still waiting for proof that those he killed were other than fishermen.

Based on the posts I have seen, Trump should be more worried about his neck than his hair.
It did focus attention on something other than Epstein for a second though.

First he has to get the Secretary of State to designate the group as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO).
Then he has to prove that he can legally order the death of members of an FTO in international waters.
Then he has to prove that the individuals in the vessel are members of that FTO.

Have you tried blocking her number?

Hegseth misspoke again -- anybody surprised?

Carol Stanton @castanton.bsky.social · 9h

Anybody that signs Hegseth's document clearly isn't a journalist.

How much are we taxpayers paying for Kristi Noem's costumes?
Does the Coast Guard have to continue without a head so she can life rent free their house?
Why isn't she being charged with Hatch Act violations for the TSA videos?

Blowing up vessels in international waters that MIGHT contain criminals/terrorists should not be considered part of the presidential duties for which the Supreme Court gave Trump immunity.

Too bad he doesn't appear to be considering what is happening with the 2026 appropriations when he fires people. He is going to end up with $ in one place and no employees and employees in another place with no $. It is easy to understand why he has had such poor success with his businesses.

I'm a registered Independent. In AZ, we can choose whether we want to vote in the Republican or the Democratic primary. I always vote in the Republican primary because there are never any contested races on the Democratic side.

AZ wants her sworn in immediately after the certified results are released. We deserve to have our all our members of the House able to do their jobs.

She is an editor-in-chief that didn't even spell check her post. EX: It's Mamdani not Mandani.

I don't believe they are even considering this problem.
Trump is terminating people based on his hatred of the day. They are cutting money based on Project 2025 which he supposedly doesn't know anything about.

Carol Stanton @castanton.bsky.social · 1d

The airports that refuse to broadcast the message are helping Noem because broadcasting it is a Hatch Act crime for which she is guilty.

One more wimp out.

Carol Stanton @castanton.bsky.social · 1d

Signing onto Hegseth's new rules for journalists is tantamount to CEO's, university presidents, law firms, etc. that also wimped out.

Carol Stanton @castanton.bsky.social · 1d

Is there any way for us to determine who has signed on to Hegseth's rules and who hasn't? We obviously can't trust anything reported by those that did.

He doesn't care about his salary. He and his family are making billions from his presidency in other ways.

Carol Stanton @castanton.bsky.social · 1d

Do these cuts match the 2026 appropriations or are we going to end up with employees in one place but no money for them
and/or money in another place with no employees to use it?

The president was mumbling about how our military ships need a artistic redesign the other day.
