They're putting Grok in charge of national security investigations. What could go wrong?

fraudsters, like apes, are together strong i guess

The pardon power needs to be done away with. I don’t know how, but it needs to go. It was a nice idea, but it’s broken and hopelessly corrupted. It is now undermining our entire justice system and our democracy. It is crystal clear how Trump is wielding that power.

Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, the Holy Presentation Church after Russian bombing. Self-proclaimed defenders of Christianity and traditional values on full display.

Republicans have “normalized the idea of a 15-20%” tax hike on middle/working class Americans, all while cutting taxes for billionaires and looting the treasury to enrich themselves.

We spent every day of 2023 and 2024 hearing nothing from the MSM apart from the “lived economy” and how truckers in diners in Tulsa say “Joe Biden’s economy isn’t working for them.” Trump winning was 100% about the economy, yeah? The only thing that’s changed since then is prices keep going up.

That’s who the Russians are and always have been—a threat to the west. Appeasement will always fail. Trump, Vance, and that traitorous snake Witkoff can try to Force Ukraine to subit to Putin’s war of genocide and all it will do is demonstrate to him that his threats get him whatever he wants.

Ukraine already tried giving up land for Russia’s word to stop attacking, with the Minsk Agreements of 2014-15. Russia violated them with a full scale invasion in 2022. Why would Ukraine think land for peace would work this time, especially when a Putin-sympathetic US won’t do security guarantees?

I’m sorry, is the claim casually being made here by the President of the United States that he has no knowledge of the military action taking place that he himself is supposed to authorize? Seems like if that’s the case, Hegseth should be fired immediately and Congress needs to hold hearings.

This is the kind of insane thing Mimi on The Drew Carey Show would wear, except instead of grey it would be, like, neon hot pink.

“They complain and do nothing but bitch,” bitches man who does nothing but bitch and complain constantly about how America is the worst country on earth every time he opens his mouth. We certainly are at a tipping point, though. Because of him.

Big shout out, as always, to Sen Cassidy, who gave his explicit blessing, as a doctor, to all of this. You did it, dude! You killed HHS, NIH, and now you get to kill a whole bunch of babies! Coulda voted no, coulda gotten others to vote no, but clearly you wanted this outcome more.

All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.

Nayra Guzmán was 15 days post C-section — going to see her baby in the NICU — when she was taken to Broadview and held in custody for about 34 hours. She slept on a bench and barely got food. She couldn't pump. Her story is a rare window into the growing detention of pregnant & postpartum people.

How much of the Trump family meme coin did he buy?

“I think that AI is going to eventually eat itself. As far as I understand it… the models scour the internet for information, but the internet's going to get more and more full of information made by the models. So it's sort of like when we fed cows with cows and got mad cow disease.”

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

There are a lot of things to say about this, so it’s hard to know where to begin; but it’s truly jaw dropping the claims of corruption these people make given that Trump’s corruption of the pardon power is so extreme it’s causing a growing public consensus that the pardon power should be scrapped.

The fact that this is a surprise to Bradley, presumably Fenton, and a whole bunch of large adult son SOF officers is a justifiable reason alone to fire everyone at SOCOM, just for being fucking stupid

All he has to do is put out a statement calling this a witch hunt and crying that he’s being unfairly persecuted “Just like President Trump” and there’s like a 90% chance he’ll get a pardon within 12 hours.

What the fuck is he talking about? And why is he so focused on Somalians? He keeps going off about Somalians ever since the shooting in DC involving an Afghani.

“…some admit they only resorted to this after being told incorrect, or impossible, clues, such as a horned animal being an elephant, or a one-word answer having two words.” Our entire economy is being held up by perpetually nonworking tech being shoved down everyone’s throat because FOMO.

Polish Prime Minister Tusk reminded Western allies that NATO was created to protect against Russian aggression. Unfortunately, most people in Europe are now convinced that Trump's brain has no idea what NATO is, given his ongoing dementia. #Trump #NATO #Russia #Europe #Ukraine #Poland #Polish

“And that’s why we’re helping Putin annex half the country, capping the size of Ukraine’s military, and ensuring they can never join the rest of Europe in any alliances.” Rubio is beyond contemptible. He knows he is serving Putin. I know I throw around “nihilist” a lot, but that’s Rubio.

So by her own admission she knew about the order and openly defied it. Start contempt proceedings against her.

As foretold by Chuck Palahniuk in 2002. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lullaby...

“Found in the Kyiv region after the attack, he spent 10 hours under the rubble”

Let us hear the infamous story about the necessity of a “land swap” again.. These Ukrainians will be demoralized, tortured and men will be forced to fight on Russia’s behalf. Don’t be naive or romantic about it. EU, the people you leave with Putin, will be forced to kill your citizens. Wake up.

"that's correct, i intended to do the war crimes"

A story Stoppard told several times, in several places:

Remember, too, that Hegseth would have been rejected if a single additional Republican senator — or, JD Vance — had joined Sen. Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski in voting no with the Democrats. See: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Tom Stoppard, R.I.P. As great as they come. I always keep 'Arcadia' an arm's reach away from my desk. What a thrill it was—it will always be—to see a really great production of one of his shows. www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...

Oh wow this is sad news. We’ve lost another legend. R.I.P. Sir Tom Stoppard.

Another way of putting it: Trump raised taxes on the middle class by $400 billion per year without Congressional approval.

one of the disqualifying things about this is that hegseth writes this garbage as if he’s the first person in history to have ever considered these issues

"By dangling multibillion-dollar rare-earth and energy deals, Moscow could reshape the economic map of Europe—while driving a wedge between America and its traditional allies" Read this excellent @wsj.com account of the business deals behind the "peace"negotiations www.wsj.com/world/russia...

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

BREAKING: US President Donald Trump: I AM HEREBY CANCELLING ALL EXECUTIVE ORDERS SIGNED BY BIDEN

The Pentagon is being led by a war criminal and the President is hyping his soon-coming invasion of Venezuela to force regime change. Just wanted to take a moment to flip a double bird to anti anti Trump world. Congrats on selling your souls for this.

“violent fantasy became an obsession, according to former Trump administration officials…“Fucking kill them all,” Trump would say. “An eye for an eye.” Other times he’d snap at his staff: “You just got to kill these people…Other countries do it all the time.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Hegseth needs to face hard time and a dishonorable discharge when this is all over.

New analysis of genetic information recovered from cat skeletal remains at archaeological sites across Europe, the Middle East and Asia suggests that the domestic cats familiar today have far more recent origins and were not the first felines to live alongside humans. https://cnn.it/4oiVMl5

Hegseth is a textbook sociopath.

We found more than two dozen cases of immigration agents using "less lethal" weapons in ways that appear to flout the government's own rules, including by aiming at someone’s head, spine or groin or deploying chemical agents near children. With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

Paying the sitting President's wife $40 million for a self-produced "documentary" about herself is ... a bribe, pure and simple.

If it's true, if the US is willing to allow borders to be redrawn by force and let aggressors be rewarded, then the gates of hell are about to be opened. This may prove to be the single most destabilizing and conflict-spawning decision of the 21st century. A truly Black Friday.

To begin with today, happy 117th anniversary to this entirely reasonable cat
