@steadystatevets.bsky.social, this seems like a bad sign. Did POTUS just walk us into an illegal war?
This is a no-fly zone. It requires military enforcement and is an effective declaration of war. That’s something only Congress can do, the illegality of striking Venezuela notwithstanding.
Another Republican president and another illegal
and unnecessary war is at hand.

@steadystatevets.bsky.social, this seems like solid analysis.
Putin's "whole economy, his whole society, his whole politics, his whole preservation of self revolves around having this war go on.”
So says Fiona Hill, perhaps the most insightful Russia analyst of these times.

Vlad couldn't have drawn it up better himself... That's because he already gave us his best effort.
This is Putin's revenge for the US making sure the Soviets left Afghanistan humiliated, and it was facilitated by the fucking President of The United States.

Someone *clearly* doesn't remember their Law of Land Warfare briefing... When I went to Iraq in 2005, you can bet your ass I knew damn well that I'd be fried for shooting injured enemy combatants because they drilled that shit into our heads from Day 1 of boot camp in July 2001.

Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.
Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle.
If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

In any other context we'd call this elder abuse.
If a POTUS who's clearly suffering from dementia is incapable of understanding what's noted in his name (not to mention the EOs he signs), the Consitutional responsibility falls on the VP, the Cabinet, Congress & the WH staff.
But they're profiting from manipulating this POTUS, so ...

Absolutely. Even if he weren't a damaged creep, his approach to scientific evidence is completely disqualifying.
We know the answer; We just don't have the science yet
There is no study that says that it is not true.

The Deputy AG falsely described lawful speech as insurrectionary, smeared national-security veterans, invoked imaginary crimes, injected the word “armed” to stoke fear, and openly threatened political investigation: an example of an authoritarian administration weaponizing justice.
