It’s neither the lawful answer nor is it the oath they took.
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took
(Not a no!)

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.

It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.
Fond memories of that time Mike Johnson was president of a local law school that never opened its doors, in part because it was attached to a Baptist college that was losing its accreditation, and in part because it was always a scam from the start
Mike Johnson -- who is, yes, theoretically a lawyer -- has not had a chance to look at the American Constitution because he's been very busy lately, folks, he just can't see everything, gosh, how is he supposed to know if it's wrong that the president called for the execution of congress members?

Do journalists really want to put their names behind the claim that palling around with someone known to be a child sex predator—to say nothing of the months-long coverup we’ve all witnessed—does not constitute “wrongdoing”? Apparently yes they do.

We know why, and it's the same reason Trump picked her for AG - she's "good" at covering up criminal conduct for the rich and powerful. And by good, we mean delaying consequences to the criminals involved.
Why didn't Pam Bondi investigate Jeffrey Epstein when she was Florida’s AG from 2011 to 2019?! As Florida's AG, Bondi made prosecuting sex traffickers who preyed on children a top priority. Yet for some reason she never investigated Epstein. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/we-need-to...

Democrats must subpoena every communication between Trump, WH staff, and the FBI/DOJ re: Epstein. That includes every phone used by Patel, Bondi, and Trump on down. These fuckers think that they can cover up Trump's fingerprints all over Epstein? The orange sticks to everything.

They don't want Smith testifying because he'll expose the GOP scam and the misconduct that Smith was investigating for all to see.

More people have died in ICE custody in last 9 months than in the entire prior 4 years.
We hear of a few, but most barely make the news.
Cases like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel.
He was in perfect health when ICE detained him.
He disappeared in June & by August was in a vegetative state.
