Getting old AF. Life-long liberal. Left US for 7 years while Reagan was pretending to be president. Fond of trees, waterfalls and decent people.

"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%"

Retired Navy Captain (Full Colonel in all other branches) vs. washed-up Major Peter Hegseth, who, for some reason, did not complete 20 years to qualify for retirement.
To try to compare the two is a joke. Hegseth is a very bad and dangerous joke on America by insane Trump.

What unlawful orders have been given so far?
Rep Raskin says: Deployment of troops in LA & DC; destruction of boats on the high seas w/out a declaration of war from Congress; lack of due process are all examples of unlawful orders.
Keep your oath to uphold the Constitution, US troops.

The BBC joins a long list of media companies now obeying in advance. I can't say I'm surprised or at this point even angry. It is a structural flaw in legacy media
All I can do is promise that Democracy Docket will never bow down or bend a knee. It will remain unapologetically pro-democracy.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
