Cowards. Alumni should close their pocketbooks to them.
Northwestern University has agreed to pay $75 million as a part of a deal with the Trump administration to restore hundreds of millions in federal funding www.justice.gov/opa/pr/unite...

Interesting that he thinks a former president can be charged when his own pet supreme court chief justice said they're immune from prosecution

Make it make sense? Nah. Can't
If they need force protection from local law enforcement on their patrols, what are the patrols for?
NEW via @washingtonpost.com:
"#DC police to begin patrolling with #NationalGuard after fatal attack
If enacted on a long-term basis, the change would significantly shift the way National Guard troops have worked with law enforcement in DC since their arrival."

A weak, compromised, insecure and pathetic little man, beholden to his own questionable morals, ethics and bigoted beliefs.
There's your secretary of defense. Is he the worst of a pitiful lot? Maybe. Or maybe he's just on par with all the other corrupt, evil choads.

It's cute, reading all these anguished cries: "when this is all over, these guys need to go to jail!" I remember saying that during Bush I crimes, and during Bush II crimes, and during Trump I crimes.
Guess how many of those guys went to jail.

So, Hegseth illegally ordered everyone killed in the first alleged drug boat strike on Sept. 2, prompting a second hit to finish off survivors in the water. — This is the real reason why Trump & Hegseth absolutely freaked out about the video against illegal orders.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Sadly do you expect anything else?
Holy shit! Trump has no decency or compassion.
A reporter asked if he planned to attend the funeral of Sarah Beckstrom, the National Guard member who just died.
Instead of offering condolences, he said he would “consider it” and pivoted to bragging about his margin of victory in West Virginia.

National Guard aren’t ICE or Border Patrol. They didn’t sign up looking to harass and repress people. They’re volunteers, part time, in case of emergency. They didn’t ask for this.
West Virginia National Guard shouldn’t have been deployed in Washington DC.
Victims of the shooter and the president.

Oh man do I remember these. I served with a guy who was CO of one of the PHMs. Said it was a flat out blast to run the ship full out.
We used to be a proper country. Look at this and tell me the navy is serious about defense.
We used to stick 8 harpoons on a freaking 130 ft long hyrdofoil! this thing could take out half the PLAN in an afternoon and I bet its 1/4 the price of the LCS.

Recall the quality of personnel they're hiring as ice stormtroopers these days is quite poor. Can't pass open book tests, aren't vetted.

Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in “Northern Exposure,” “Smoke Signals,” “Wyvern” and “The Last of Us,” handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon.
Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”

Tbf, these maggat ****s have never *worked* a day in their lives. I mean, used their hands or their leg and back muscles, or broke a sweat. For all their lecturing to the working class, they have no conception of what it truly means to be part of the shrinking middle and growing lower classes.

Not in college but I reported to Navy OCS the day after Thanksgiving after spending the holiday evening in a motel room in Newport RI "feasting" on a turkey sandwich & bag of chips bought at a gas station.
On the plus side, I heard Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" for the first time that day.

Cue the Qanon idiots (egged on by overseas based bots) screeching about the Deep State working against their orange god
NOW! MAGA is silent. The National Guard shooter, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, entered the U.S. in 2021 and was granted LEGAL ASYLUM by the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION in April 2025.
No tweets. No rallies. No outrage. Just crickets.
When the facts hit their hero, the narrative vanishes. Hypocrisy on full display.
