The media treated Biden's pardon of Hunter for trumped-up gun possession charges as more scandalous - far more scandalous - than Trump's pardon of war criminal serial killer Eddie Gallagher. And here we are:

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

Congratulations to the Secretary of Defense for ordering a hundred murders right before the president established the precedent that pardons are invalid.

as a pedestrian, about once a week i'm nearly hit by a car cause someone is not paying attention when i'm walking where i'm meant to.

yet i rode horses for, uh, 17 years and only once ran into an ornery horse who threw me on a cantering jump and dragged me 50' over rocks. (my foot caught)

🤷‍♂️
Considering that horses are dangerous and riders are very regularly seriously injured, I wonder what the direct overall injury/death rate looked like when everyone in our society had to constantly ride/drive horses, versus the injury/death rate from cars today?

It's not often that "simple morality" and "effective politics" line up so perfectly, but we have to hope DC's Democrats are smart enough to seize the moment with both hands

Also, Hegseth is coming for Sen. Mark Kelly because he reminded troops that they have a duty not to commit crimes *like this one*

Making an appropriately big deal out of this blunts that attack and demonstrates the need for what Kelly and company did.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

No one shld lose sight of the fact that the Guard was only in DC as part of an extended political messaging stunt. The shooter is guilty for the attacks/carnage. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as President.

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.
