Now that the DoJ has indicted Raul Castro for the Cuban military shooting down two planes and killing four people decades ago, seems like that's an excellent precedent for the indictment of Pete Hegseth for the couple hundred people he's ordered killed on the high seas

This week, the GOP has officially become the party of Beating Cops & Fucking Children. And they'll continue to protect the men who do both.

Under authoritarian rule, there will always be an obscurant reason and contorted argument to explain why the consent of the governed is not really necessary to proceed. Whatever this fascist throws up in bricks and mortar before we finally spit him out, the rest of us will vote to tear down.

"Bc the agreement is cast as settlement of debt owed to Trump, it should be treated as $1.8b of income, which triggers tax liability.

Q: What did you say to Netanyahu about Iran? TRUMP: He's fine. He'll do whatever I want him to do.

The Arch was never designed for external visibility. People disappear into far corners of the building, leaving the ground floor sparse even on event days. What the Arch needs is a busy ground floor. More on that soon.

Pisshead Pete nailed… “In Hegsethspeak, kinetic strikes are a kind of warfighting that bring maximum lethality to narco-terrorists and other assorted bad people. He thinks this ridiculous jargon makes him sound manly and cool. ‘Kinetic’ sounds like you’re being really tough.”
