Isn’t this something that should be investigated? What are the details related to this pardon? Who requested that a pardon be considered on behalf of Juan Hernandez. What documents, emails exist? Was anything of value offered? Who was involved in the process?

Lindsey Graham sponsored the Afghan Adjustment Act: “This is the right thing to do. The people who were there with us in the fight who are here in America need to stay. This will be their new home. We have a moral obligation to these people and they will make great citizens.”

The National Guard needs to have a babysitter, so they don't get hurt. This is not what National Guard Members signed up for, yet here we are today. They are being forced to act as police officers. The starting pay for DC cops is 80K, Guard Members start pay: 24K or LESS!

Even with the inarguable threats posed by the Trump administration, many see the idea of leaving the U.S. as an admission of defeat.

... But if you find yourself asking the question, some say “you probably are already in the space where you should be making preparations.” trib.al/nrVOw3c

Forget politics for a second - Trump's just a horrible, broken human being, a malignant narcissist, etc. What he should be doing, of course, is expressing sorrow at the loss of Sarah Beckstrom, certainly not talking about how much he won her state by. WTF? bluevirginia.us/2025/11/frid...

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

Donald is so stupid he thinks a "permanent pause" is a logical, real thing. To pause is, by definition, not permanent. To cause something to cease, on the other hand, is permanent. No wonder he had to pay someone else to take the SAT for him.
