Faced with so much competition, it is remarkable what an excellent job Markwayne Mullin always does at proving he is the stupidest person in the Capitol.

Sen. Mullin: "We know that the Navy or the Coast Guard picked up survivors already and sent them back to their country."
Bash: "Could that be because a lawyer in the Pentagon said 'you can't do that again'?"

One of the things prosecutors must show in a murder trial is the defendant's intent. Intent can be tricky to prove, so one day a lawyer or two will thank Pete Hegseth for proving it for them. He's smart that way.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

Your daily reminder FACT for every American concerned about people in our country who incite political violence:
If Donald Trump actually followed his OWN advice, he would be in prison, exile or buried under a golf course right now.

Important conversation. But the conclusion understates the case. It is not that handing Russia the huge territory that contains Ukraine’s best defenses would “not necessarily” bring peace. It is that so doing would guarantee a bloodier and longer war.

Hitler killed people with disabilities. Ponder that. The “occupant” is quickening perception that it’s ok to mock, attack those who live with disabilities. And his minions slobber over him because he’s “pro-life”. 😫
It is not lost on me that Trump
& “friends” using the R word, and multiple other dehumanizing statements of any culture, is part of the war on people with disabilities and straight out of The Hitler playbook 😑
It’s not only to be the pig he is.
