Now, when Trump talks about “illegals”, we’re not sure if he’s talking about people who are in America without documentation or the lawyers he appointed.

This administration is filled with the absolute dumbest, meanest, cruelest pieces of shit.

And they're so *proud* to be dumb, mean, cruel pieces of shit too. They delight in it. They brag about it.

It's vice signaling as a way of life.
I assume she means everyone who isn’t white.

Throwing the admiral under the bus.
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?

LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.

I wonder if he was smart enough to get Hegseth's order in writing or not
The fall guy. Though he is probably also guilty of first degree murder.

After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk.
It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.

Donald Trump is crumbling before us.

Pete Hegseth is under fire for war crimes, with congressional inquiries looming.

Kash Patel is getting publicly humiliated by his own FBI agents.

RFK Jr.'s freak flag is getting national attention thanks to the Lizza-Nuzzi insanity.

The wheels are coming off.

Parks had been a member of the NAACP in Montgomery since 1943. After her arrest, the Women's Political Council mobilized citizens in a one day boycott. The boycott became a 381 day campaign. She sat down to stand up for Civil Rights. 👏

Amazement ensues when a mainstream news outlet writes an accurate headline about Trump.
Also stunningly accurate. This is exactly what he said.

If we want to fight drug trafficking, let's impeach the U.S. president who is pardoning a criminal who “paved a cocaine superhighway to the United States.”

The charges here mattered, because the arresting officers admitted that she was arrested for violating the segregation ordinance and not for some ostensibly race-neutral charge like "disturbing the peace"
70 years ago today, Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, Alabama.

To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period.

Every corporation.
Every Republican.
Every influencer.
Every Governor.
Every evangelical leader.
Every voter. Yes. Every voter.

Translation: Pete may well go down for this. But I’m not going with him.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?

Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

Trump brags about his supposed cognitive skills while claiming he doesn’t even know why he got an MRI.
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results

Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.

Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?

Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

Here’s the TPUSA version of events at OU.

Not surprisingly, they lie about what happened — she wasn’t flunked for quoting the Bible; she never even quoted it — and accuse the instructor, whom they name, as being “mentally ill”

The Trump administration believes that the rich and powerful should be pardoned for their crimes, even after judges and juries determined their guilt.

But if you’re a non-white guy in a fishing boat, there’s no need for a trial or even an arrest. Murder from above, no questions asked.
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?

KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.
