It is a very short step from the military killing alleged drug traffickers off the coast of Venezuela to the military, ICE, or others killing people inside the US for crimes, real or imagined, as directed by the president.

JD Vance wants people to call out anyone who says something bad about Saint Charlie Kirk, but has nothing to say about the future Republicans being racist pigs.

That’s because what they said is okay with him because Republicans are white supremacists

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Because we never had such a corrupt President before involved in so many self dealings makes it easier for him to bring the Arab world in. The deal had happened during the transition but then Trump allowed Netanyahu go on the killing spree for another 8 months. 😡

For Gods sake Charlamagne, we are NOT at bar. Trump LIES, RAPES, separates families and children, spews hates every day, now murdering innocent people on boats etc etc..

The problem with this take is Trump lies as he breathes. So to admire Trump for not caring about what people think about what he says is wrong bcuz that’s an easy way for Trump to be bcuz he’s utterly untethered to truth. And there’s nothing to admire about that. www.mediaite.com/media/news/c...

Charlamagne Tha God Admires Trump’s Political Success, Credits His ‘No Political Correctness Whatsoever!’

Charlamagne Tha God credited Donald Trump with changing the political landscape over the past decade, and goaded Democrats to get honest with Americans.

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.
