Need one of those jobs where, if I am a huge failure, they pay me $50 million to leave. CEO, football coach. I'll do any of 'em just to get fired.

These Karoline Leavitt "press conferences" are completely worthless propaganda full of shameless lies. They should be ignored by the media and all of us.
Q: You said that second strike was in accordance with the law of armed conflict, but the Navy's own manual says that firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime
LEAVITT: I would reiterate that the strike was conducted in accordance with the law of armed conflict

After 26-years in the navy, I would say it’s best not to obey orders that have a high probability of being illegal.
Looks like Trump and Hegseth are searching for a scapegoat.
Are there any diverse members of the military left so they can blame it on “Woke”?

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

This very same argument was used to murder Jews by the millions. These are very sick, and evil, people.
Reporter: You said that the follow-up strike was lawful. What law is it that allows no survivors?
Leavitt: The strike conducted on September 2 was conducted in self-defense to protect Americans in vital United States interests

Another fake case for the ADF to serve up to the Robert’s court?
Conservative commentator Brian Griffiths on Turning Point USA's religious-discrimination claim against the University of Oklahoma: "if you read Fulnecky’s essay, you will see that...the essay is really pathetic and bad. Nor did it meet the basic instructions set out for the assignment."
Becoming What They Hate
For years, professional conservatives bemoaned the "special treatment" they alleged "unqualified" liberals received on campus. Now, they demand it for students on the right.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

It says that the rule of law is FUBAR.
What does it say about us that an anonymous GOP legislator says he can't go against Trump because he'd rather not get his house firebombed by supporters of the president? This is not an imagined threat. In April, the governor's mansion of Josh Shapiro was set on fire, His family was forced to flee.

What’s next? Try Christian Nationalism. Try giving more money to the rich hoping it trickles down? Maybe more privatization increasing costs to consumers? Take people off of welfare and throw them in the streets? Blame all societal problems on video games? So many choices to do nothing.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.
They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.
There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

According to John Roberts the President threatening someone with pipe bombs is just part of the job and motive(s) can’t be questioned. Resign John!
Indiana Republican state senator. I appreciate her not caving, but they are all still afraid to ever use Trump’s name. I guess doing so exponentially increases the threats. Trump rules the GOP with fear and intimidation. What a broken party.
