Trump told Netanyahu to delay the deal precisely so gullible rubes like this would eat it up

David Austin Walsh @davidaustinwalsh.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, this comes after 10 months of almost unqualified support for Israeli war crimes, up to and including bombing Tehran, but nevertheless it was Trump who essentially forced the Israelis into taking the ceasefire deal, some Biden was unwilling to do for over a year.

I think what's going on here is that Hegseth et al. had to swallow an enormous load of horseshit to stay in his orbit, but they fundamentally don't understand most Americans aren't going to sign up for that

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

I have long believed that we should be WAY more vocal about how police and ICE constantly murder dogs, and I think this is great messaging actually.

The reality is that you can mobilize a whole lot of usually tuned-out Americans around a “someone is being mean to hecking doggos” cause.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Whooooooo.

MR. KHOJASTEH: Your Honor, with respect, do you
doubt the fact that a retainer [sic] is in place in -- a
detainer is in place?
THE COURT: I absolutely doubt the fact until I see
it. Because you know what? You all have taken a position over
and over again that you have done things lawfully, and then a
witness gets on the stand yesterday and admits you haven't done
it lawfully.
MR. KHOJASTEH: What did the witness say yesterday
that was unlawfully?
THE COURT: I'm not here to answer your questions,
sir. You're here to answer mine.

It's a no-brainer that her appointment is invalid. So the question becomes, is the indictment (on she was the only lawyer signatory) invalid as a result—and, if so, is it too late for the Trump DOJ to remedy that problem, given that the statute of limitations ran on Sept. 30.

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop
