Cosmically funny that, the American public has had less than a year of uncut republican governance, and they’ve decided that they absolutely hate this shit, spit it out

He says as he sat in his air conditioned office and committed war crimes before heading off to his next meeting.

Motherfucker acts like he's pinned down by enemy fire calling in air strikes instead of casually killing innocent people while leaning on the office water cooler.
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?

HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

The man's brain is so cooked he doesn't realize that having to take a cognitive test is a sign of cognitive deficiencies
Trump: "I took my physical. I got all As. Everything. But they said to me, 'would you like to take a cognitive test?' I said, 'Is it hard?' They said, 'yes.' I said, 'Well, I'm a very smart person. Who was the last president to take one?' 'No president has ever agreed to take one' ... I aced it."

If you think your job is not to tell the truth but to "challenge your audience's assumptions" if the latter is in tension with the former then you're going to end up lying. bsky.app/profile/larr...
For my part, I would say that questioning the framing of some Times stories—for example, the highlighting of Trump’s putative emotions or the foregrounding of what he says (even when, as is often the case, what he says is false)—is not an indication that I want my “views validated.”

I despise... DESPISE... when Democrats lie based on the assumption constituents won't know. That is what @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social does here.
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that's the case."

This is a flat-out 100% lie from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and he knows it. Impeachment resolutions are privileged, they can force a vote at any time.
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

We have a fascist regime attempting to take total control and their disrespect of the military and scapegoating of its leaders is far, far from an insignificant thing.

And Adm. Alvin Holsey stepped down about a month ago leaving less than a year into his tenure.

These people knew.
I know who's *not* going to jail for war crimes. This guy!

They fired him on Aug 22nd.

Boat strikes started September 1st.

I wonder why they fired him? And fired all the Judge Advocates General?
Admiral Milton Sands III is a highly decorated Navy SEAL and was commander of the Naval Special Warfare Command. Basically, he was the final boss of the Navy SEALS.

He just got fired.

Listen to the respect and humility with which he and his soldiers talk about African and European military allies.

Yeah this is why as much as I hope ~really good things~ happen to Trumр, I fear Vаnce more, because he's an ideologue. He's much smarter and he's not going to be swayed by whoever he talked to last. Zelenskyy's charm offensive has no effect on him.
JD Vance pushed the recent Russia-friendly "peace" plan, effectively trying to get Ukraine to surrender.

It didn't work.

But it's hardly the first time. Why does he keep trying to help Russia win? Because he's a far right ideologue who sees Putin as a culture war champion.

Opinion | Why JD Vance keeps trying to help Russia win the war with Ukraine
The vice president pushed a Russia-friendly peace plan — which tracks with his far-right worldview that sees Putin as an “anti-woke” culture war ally, says Nicholas Grossman.

It's a clear problem with a clear culprit. And yet for the sake of "balanced" reporting, it will not be clearly called out.

We can't be intimidated by people, though dangerous, are also fucking cowards.
