The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Sebastian Gorka is the second most dangerous voice in Trump’s ear behind Stephen Miller.

Biden gave us Trump II through ineptitude. Hillary gave us Trump 1 through arrogance.

One can only hope.
The world learned today that you absolutely have to bully this dumb old asshole as a collective. Better late than never for them, but we better get used to being aggressively humiliated for the next few years.

Trump now mocking Macron with cheesy French accent. Aren’t we proud, America?

Trump’s speech at Davos reveals he has a 10-year-old’s understanding of world affairs. He actually just told EU leaders (including Germany), “Without us you’d all be speaking German.”

They’re too comfortable with board seats and other high paying opportunities (not to mention six digit retirement). I had one three star friend label it as his “earning years.” They won’t rock any boats along the way. Don’t look to them to step up and be voices of leadership and reason.
That was not my intent, as I noted later. I think of @markhertling.bsky.social as part of a small and honorable group of former senior commanders who have spoken up - and I am disturbed that there aren't more like him. The silence from people who *could* speak out, as Mark as, is unsettling.
P/S - Hertling suggested you might have been baiting him, and he suggested there are many active officers fighting behind the scenes. That gives us pedestrians some hope. If that was your objective, touchè.

This isn’t America First. It’s America Alone. And we’re going to find out we’re not as omnipotent as this Administration thinks the hard way.
Cruz: "When it comes to Greenland, I want to commend President Trump for being single-mindedly focused on America first... I believe it is overwhelmingly in America's national interest to acquire Greenland... the whole history of America has been a history of acquiring new lands and new territories"

As the President didn’t actually write that book, color me concerned by Hassett’s advice.
Kevin Hassett on Greenland: "The president is the person who wrote 'The Art of the Deal' because he's so good at dealmaking, so I think right now it's a good time for cooler heads to prevail and for us to disregard the rhetoric and get to the table."

NEWS: Canada just checkmated the United States.

Breaking with the U.S., Canada has struck a major deal with China: Ottawa will cut its 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for dramatically lower tariffs on Canadian farm products.

We’re already at the point where the Joint Chiefs should’ve resigned their commissions in protest.
Maybe it puts me on the outs with lawyers and defense people, but there is no scenario in which U.S. military officers should carry out orders to attack a NATO ally. They should disobey and elected Democrats should back them up.

Nazi orders were also lawful and "just following" them was no excuse.
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), to Bloomberg TV:

“If there is military action against #Greenland, I will be one of the first people to file and co-sponsor a War Powers Resolution. It will pass.”

I didn’t have “Germany and Sweden send troops to Greenland to help Denmark defend it against the United States” on my 2026 bingo card.
