Kash Patel: "When you attack our nation's capitol, you attack the very being of our way of life — We will always refute it & combat it" Unless you’re J6 insurrectionist who attacks the capitol — then you receive a pardon & get called a patriot…

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

He just wants us driving something that a tank could easily crush. The Republican Party is a death panel.

#Trump pardoned Tim Leiweke — who his own DOJ indicted in July for rigging a public university’s arena bid— It’s all a grift — Saudis to crypto to pardon seekers — everything gets turned into a revenue stream. With 1,500+ pardons already, clemency is a monetized market

Not sure his intent is to defend our nation.

The Republican Party is a death panel. None of us will survive.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

"Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Even Republicans in Congress are beginning to revolt against him. A tyrant can exercise tyranny only as long as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it. Remember this." ~ Robert Reich

The only time you will see ICE without a mask.

Did you hear @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social praised the orange stain for pardoning some Democratic criminals? Rep Henry Cuellar & his wife were indicted in March 2024 for accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in FOREIGN bribes. Hakeem said it’s “exactly the right outcome”. Dems won’t save us.

But of course...

The Trump Family is doing much more than enriching themselves, they're robbing the government and everyone else blind.

Reports now said that Kegbreath told Admiral Holsey that the military will follow all order & not to question any of them. Holsey stated the strikes are illegal & Kegbreath said do it or step down & retired. Holsey step down & retired. allaboutlawyer.com/admiral-alvi...

First snow...

it is insanely dishonest to characterize the reaction to the most corrupt pardons in american history as pro-police and pro-prison. fuck off

Many peoole are now aware of the 50th birthday message Trump gave Epstein But have you seen the one Les Wexner (Ohio's richest man, founder of Victoria's Secret, former Ohio State trustee & close Epstein business associate) contributed? Here it is.

The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...

I don’t know, I still randomly trip out over the fact that the President told states to specifically gerrymander for him. And they did.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

I can’t believe they say this shit out loud

Dems in Congress should start demanding the list of names of all ICE “agents”. These people seem to walk more carefully when they know consequences may be around the corner.

Somehow this is the worst part. Yet again I'd like to thank the publishing industry, Hollywood, and Yale Law School for ensuring this bigot's rise to prominence.

Brazil’s former Dictator Bolsonaro will begin serving his 27 year prison sentence for plotting a coup in his country. If only Merrick Garland had gotten the job done when we had the chance and sent the orange felon and his insurrectionists to jail where they belong. Scumbag.

Mike Johnson is powerless to stop this:

Yes, I absolutely want #Hegseth prosecuted for a war crimes BUT as a veteran I am offended by those who are willing to let Admiral Bradley off the hook for "being pressured" or "following orders." If ordinary military members must stand firm against illegal orders so must he. War criminals must pay.

He’s Trumpshit insane. Thank you for your attention to this matter..

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels. Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on. And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking. Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy. It's a power grab.

i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

Q: You talk about affordability. Are the American people getting impatient with the reforms you're making? TRUMP: I think they're getting fake news from guys like you. Look, affordability is a hoax that was started by Democrats.

Imagine your employer paying you so little that you need a loan against the next earnings check in order to feed your kids. Then imagine that your employer sees a financial opportunity and offers you a 20% interest payday loan. Doesn't seem right, does it...

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence. All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

This is the same as a national sales tax. Of course the poor would be paying a larger percentage of their income than the rich.

Absolutely disgusting.

"We've had lies and stonewalls before. One’s tempted to say first time tragedy, this time farce. But war crimes aren’t a farce. Congress should investigate them. And a broader war—unjustified, unauthorized, unlawful—wouldn’t be a farce. Congress should stop it." www.thebulwark.com/p/lies-cover...

Get ICE off our streets!! ICE is always unwelcome and dangerous.

It's the opposite of "the buck stops here". He is selling out Admiral Bradley and sending chills down the spines of his chain of command, who now know their boss will sell them out if he is taking heat. A case study in how not to lead.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Because they’d rather have a high profile job than any semblance of professional dignity?

Likewise, Donald Trump has never been a good businessman. losing more of his father's great wealth than he made. What Trump is, is a mediocre crook that has been extremely lucky in finding so many gullible people to scam and wealthy crooks to align himself with. He and the MAGA congress must go.

ALL TENNESSEE VOTERS - GET OUT TODAY!!! VOTE BLUE, AND AGAINST GOP/MAGA CORRUPTION! Vote for the honorable candidate Aftyn Behn who believes in Truth, Honor, Law, Constitution, our Rights, and FREEDOM. Never vote for ANY CRIMINAL Republicans, unless you want our kids to live with FASCIST TYRANNY!!!

Did someone explain to them how illegal their actions were after the September double tap killings? Did someone in the military refuse the order the second time?

I guarantee u, you'll enjoy this video

A reminder to a nation with way too many people untethered to facts and truth: There’s no such thing as “The Department of War.” It doesn’t exist. Only Congress has the power to create and name executive departments & agencies. So it’s still The Department of Defense. Thanks

The Trump administration is starving Americans. In Georgia, a food bank is running out of food while demand has surged by over 40%. Yes, Georgia is a red state, but before we go the FAFO route, remember Trump’s margin of victory in Georgia was 2.2%. So a lot of folks didn’t vote for this. 1/2

Someone dropped Tomi on her head when she was younger.

It’s not a stretch to say that my former political party is now firmly pro-Russia/pro-Putin. Not a stretch at all. It’s traitorous, but it’s true. Look, the leader of my former political party works for Putin. He’s on Putin’s side. Always has been. And the party has followed him.

Community notes don’t get much more brutal than this
