That's one hell of a bold-faces lie, considering their boat was flaming debris and they were miles from land.
Oh, and Fentanyl is almost exclusively made in China and smuggled in through Mexico through cartels Trump supports.

I feel like this is somehow a trap. Maybe an effort to get everyone's hopes up so she can crush them again.

When we get through the shit storm, things gotta change. This is a good starting place.
The U.S. is the only democracy in the world with:
- Lifetime terms for high court judges
- An electoral college for choosing an executive
- A legislative chamber where legislative minorities routinely and permanently thwart legislative majorities
- 75% requirements for constitutional amendments

This could be the US. But nope. Some people gotta be insecure babies and vote for the orange shit-stain that hates anything his pea brain can't understand (which is everything that isn't rape, murder, or blatant corruption).
Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

In addition to the whole "they're a bunch of rapists", 20yrs ago the president was ...Bush Jr. Who absolutely no one would accuse of being even remotely progressive.
RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".
Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

It sucks but +22 was long odds to overcome. Dropping that to +9 (approximately) is still noteworthy. That means that any district that's less that +13 is probably going to be flipped.
Depressing as hell that so many people still vote for people actively trying to destroy the country though

Sorry Bradly. You should have followed Admiral Holsey's example.
Or, better yet, just refused orders and made them court martial you.

Also, he sits in his air conditioned office and invents ways to cover his own ass. The shit is getting deep and he can only tread water for so long

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

I hope he goes down in history as Secretary War Crimes.
News --> The commander who oversaw Pete Hegseth's alleged killing of two boat bombing survivors is now likely to come in and face questions from the House Armed Services Committee, ranking Dem Adam Smith tells me.

Trump Boat Bombings Suddenly on Shakier Ground as Damning Info Emerges
Will Republicans give us a real investigation into Trump’s bombings, now that we just learned horrific new details about them? Or are they seriously going to fall on their swords for Pete Hegseth?

So...if they're saying that soldiers should disobey illegal orders....and Trump is saying that means they're telling soldiers to disobey his orders....that means they got Trump to publicly call his own orders illegal.
Good job @captmarkkelly.bsky.social

Besides the obvious, how in the hell are we safer under trump? By my reckoning (and it seems the reckoning of pretty much everyone with an expertise in such matters) we are immeasurably less safe now than we have been since WWII ended.
Vote these spineless cowards out of their majorities so we can actually have some oversight on this serial criminality.

Finally reporters are doing their job and calling out these criminal fucks.
Reporter: You said that that second strike was in full accordance with the law of armed conflict but the Navy's own manual of law of war says that specifically firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime that's forbidden under U.S. Law and the law of armed conflict…

So...they hate DEI because they claim it allows in unqualified people....then they claim distinctions they haven't earned (there's a 0% chance that Kash is a certified SWAT operator).
Once again. This regime shows they don't actually give a shit about any one or anything but themselves.

This might be controversial but I actually think the US should be preparing for a war. Not in Venezuela though. In Ukraine. Not a war of aggression. A war of defense. We gave them our word as a nation that we would defend them from Russian aggression. We haven't done shit to defend them though.
