Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

Kill the low-level smugglers with military weapons and snuggle the high-level corrupt politicians who control wholesale distribution of coke

Brainworm sex?
I'm glad the undercurrent of all this is the shock that someone would be sexually attracted to RFK Jr. I think it's good that we can come together on this issue.

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter slams the White House for using “Juno” in an ICE arrest video:

Comical: the first finding criticizes personnel who dislike Trump under the cliche 'Trump Derangement Syndrome.'
Can the authors can remain loyal to Trump without being infected by the same cult of loyalty that Bongino/Patel exhibit?
As if to say 'Let's be even more right wing just less obviously.'

Just to put this in some perspective, the group of current and former senior FBI agents and analysts who just put out the scathing report on Kash Patel and Dan Bongino’s clown show tenure at the agency ENDORSED TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT. That’s how bad tweedle dumb and dumber are.

A senator who dares to ask, "what if life was LESS painful instead of more painful?"
My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war?
MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not going to prejudge any of that. I was pretty busy yesterday. I didn't follow a lot of the news.

The thing that is annoying about Bradley and the American officer corps at large is that if they actually read what Clausewitz wrote about the intersection of politics and war, they’d realized they have actual political cover to push back against the administration…
If they read theory, maybe these morons at the pentagon and DOD would have thought about that beforehand

It's the opposite of "the buck stops here". He is selling out Admiral Bradley and sending chills down the spines of his chain of command, who now know their boss will sell them out if he is taking heat. A case study in how not to lead.

Great point - hypocrisy is the hallmark of the Trump administration and the MAGA movement
Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.
Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

The same people who i used to fight with in the GOP, who wanted to withdraw American troops from everywhere, are now the ones justifying the murder of two survivors.

Megyn Kelly came for the racism and stayed for the cruelty.
What are we even doing here? I can’t find common ground with people who get off on the suffering of others. Don’t just kill the people we haven’t even proved are criminals, bring them pain. I can’t relate to this. This is inexcusable to me. I’m sickened.
Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."
