Hello again - it's Tuesday's daily thread for Day 1378 of the full Russian invasion.
It's the day Russia will again pretend it wants peace as a woefully underqualified and historically ignorant US "envoy" meets Putin again.

Hegseth will get a pardon. But will you? Don’t risk life in prison. DISOBEY unlawful orders. bsky.app/profile/bran...
Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

Any move to “wipe the slate clean” for Russia in a peace deal would be “a historic mistake of huge proportions.”

I'm also surprised that Roger went with a Hong Kong factory (I called the factory today to confirm). If MAGA is about making America great again through reindustrialization, why not use a US factory? Over at O'Connell's, you can find MiUSA tailoring for half of Roger's prices

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.
We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.
