Whoa … this is really strange.

Federal law enforcement managed to confiscate almost two tons of cocaine, and arrest 3 suspects, without blowing the boat out of the water or killing anyone.

Impeachable Act of the Day
Trump admitted that he pardoned corrupt Democrat Cuellar so that Cuellar wouldn't run for reelection as a Dem. Cuellar is running as a Dem anyway and Trump is fuming about his "lack of loyalty."

This. The stupidity is suicidal: "Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven." Both of Trump's narrow victories came against women -- one white, one Black. Yet in between came a landslide victory for a white man, Joe Biden. Racism and misogyny are the dead hands dragging America down.
It's not just them.
White women slightly improved from 55-44% to 53-46% for Trump while Latino men went from 59-36% for Biden to 54-44% for Trump & Muslim voters threw more support behind Stein & Trump than Harris after 55% voted for Biden.
We just have the stupidest electorate in history.

Given that the Russians quite literally drafted our capitulation plan for Ukraine one has to wonder about whether there wasn’t at least a bit of cutting and pasting here.
"The Kremlin on Sunday welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump's new national security strategy and said it largely accorded with Russia's own perceptions, the first time that Moscow has so fulsomely praised such a document from its former Cold War foe."

He already had a career in the public eye when he took out an ad calling for the deaths of the Central Park Five, who did not commit the crime they were accused of.
Tr*mp started his career in the public eye by pretending to fire people from fake jobs. Now he’s worked his way up to being in charge of an administration that has murdered* at least 86 people. What do you think is next?

Having finished a book tracing US migration & citizenship from the colonial period to 1888, the lesson people are missing today from history is: 1) Without legal citizenship, all kinds of discrimination can be done to you & w/ no due process/equal protection. This is the very reason why the 14th 1/

During ratification of the 14th Amendment, senators discussed whether the Citizenship Clause would apply to the children of immigrants and resoundingly concluded that it did. The text and history all point in one direction and the counter-arguments are patently fraudulent. I am going to lose my mind

No. The character is not six hundred years old, unless this mystery series is now trafficking in vampires.

Last week’s release of Trump’s National Security Strategy made one thing brutally clear and that is that the United States is no longer fully shaping its own foreign policy. The document reads like parts of it were written in Moscow and stamped in Washington

I'm not sure what Trump thought he was doing by posting the Cuellar daughters' letter & his "lack of LOYALTY" rant, but, in addition to making clear the transactional nature of the pardon in his mind, he also admitted that a transparently flattering letter is all it takes for him to grant a pardon.

Unbefuckinglievable.

Then the 11 people were engaged in "war sustaining" activities on best reading in favor of DoD. Clearly civilians not engaged in combat activities under DoD's own view of law.
