So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago. And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago

The evening of Feb 24, 2022 featured Russian special forces units randomly shooting civilian vehicles and getting in firefights with TDF inside Kyiv as they were attempting to find and kill Zelensky

What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam

Donald Trump's son owns 200,000 shares of stock in, and is on the board of, a drone maker that got a $620 million loan from the Pentagon, but I'm sure that's coincidental to the Chinese drone ban

this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

ok so maybe I was wrong when I said Putin would never invade. and maybe I was wrong when I said Putin will win in a week and we should not help. But now we’re here, and I'm going to tell you what putin is thinking, and I’m going to do it in the most patronizing way possible

i read stuff like this and can genuinely angry at guys like jd vance who insist that this country belongs to some narrow vision of the "native born"

No one ever says this about CSTO when a CSTO country was straight up used as a staging area by the Russians for the opening stages of the full-scale invasion

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

Pure, unmitigated hate.

No matter how often it is repeated, what Moscow thinks "peace talks" and "ceasefire agreements" are for still confuses some Western counterparts. Russia repeatedly gets what it wants because the other side focuses on ending the war, but Russia instead wants to win it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Lincoln was re-elected on a party platform saying "That foreign immigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth, development of resources and increase of power to this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy."

Boy Mamdani's race is really a vivid reminder that anti-Islamic bigotry is 100% accepted in US public discourse. People don't even bother dog whistling, it's just right out in the open.

I haven't seen anyone else say this but if IFK doesn't slide the Blue Jays win in the ninth

I think this is the truest baseball tweet for me

peak baseball is indistinguishable from the feeling of hitting your head against a cement wall

Jesus Christ baseball

Please you only get one chance to ever try this

Oh man this defense got me rowdy

3 pitches to get those three huge outs in the bottom of the ninth. Insane.

I wonder if a lot of grandfathers think the dementia tests are IQ tests

Extremely funny that INFOWARS has agreed not to publish anything without the explicit consent of the US government

Back in February I said Trumps administration didn’t understand the geography, the culture, or Putin himself. They wanted a quick fix, parroting Russian narratives line by line. Alaska was a disaster, they still can’t make a decision about anything, it’s just awful diplomacy from start to finish. 🤦‍♂️

This is the same General Counsel who said withholding funds to Ukraine, the basis of Trump's first impeachment, was perfectly legal, and this sounds like similar bullshit.

Lankford was in the Senate when the Intelligence Committee wrote its giant report concluding that Russiagate was not a hoax, and it's criminal negligence by CNN to let him say this on air with no pushback.

See the issue is that Trump ran on releasing on the Epstein files, and Bondi said she had them sitting on her desk ready to go, and then Elon Musk tweeted that Trump was in them and they were suddenly deemed a hoax and Ghislaine was moved to a spa prison, so you can understand the fresh intrigue

The Tomahawks were never going to Kyiv. Moscow will not get its new Yalta. A Budapest summit will end as another loud diplomatic farting noise that doesn't help Zelensky, Orban or Putin. A lot of people need to get used to how useless America will be in a post-American world

would love to know where vought got the authority to shutdown a government agency established by statute

She is 77, she should retire.

Those are three people in inflatable frog suits.

The random people who called into this C-SPAN session had better questions for Mike Johnson than most corporate media outlets

“The pattern is one that involved modeling agencies around the world serving as fronts for human trafficking…This may very well be what Trump is trying desperately to keep quiet in the DOJ’s Epstein files.” tomorrowsaffairs.com/the-transnat...

"None — repeat none — of America’s fentanyl has been found to originate from Venezuela. Yet Trump and Pete Hegseth, his compulsively strutting “secretary of war”, insist that the country is fuelling America’s opioid epidemic." Me on Trump's wag the dog script. www.ft.com/content/5b3e...

wow, it's this kind of iconoclastic, out of the box thinking that really stands out

it’s all just a grift

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees: -the right of the people peaceably to assemble -to petition the Government for a redress of grievances -the free exercise of religion -freedom of speech If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.

Monstrous. "federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

So much has gone wrong in US press reporting on Trump because the White House reporters are people who have exclusively covered US politics. They need people who have worked in Hungary, Turkey, etc. The relevant knowledge isn't Reagan factoids; it's the dynamics of competitive authoritarianism.

That should do it

So just to be clear: The US is propping up Argentina’s economy, and now Argentina can eliminate its export taxes, so it can sell tons of soybeans to China, so China isn’t forced to buy soybeans from the US, so the US can pay subsidies to keep our farmers solvent. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Ok we did this in graduate school, and I got to go to a school with accreditation.

When someone says one thing to gain power and then a contradictory thing when exercising that power, the most useful lens for understanding it is power, not hypocrisy.

The thing with designating a group that doesn't actually exist as a terrorist organization is that they can then say anyone they want is a part of that group.
