So, everyone on the planet knew the release wasn't going to be up to legal standards. Why wasn't a subpoena ready to go at 12:01? Why are we now "looking into options" for something that was not just predictable, but predicted? And not just this one incident, it's every damn time.

If anyone in Europe was still clinging to the idea that the Trump administration isn't immovably pro-Russian and hostile to Western institutions and values, they need to read the 2025 National Security Strategy and think again.

This vs what was released today
Unsurprisingly, the 2022 Biden NSS is very clear about Russia as a threat to the US, its allies, and to international security. These are just a couple of its statements on Russia:

What about the billions tRump is taking out of the country? Asking for a friend
Ever mindful of the visuals, he gathers a giant group of old white people to surround him and support him while he spews his vile racist rants.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

This guy wants to live in a black-and-white movie, with everyone dressed in suits and dresses and hats and gloves and driving big cars with fins. I get it. That was cool. But he’s changing policy.

I’m sorry but I thought dual citizenship was a legitimate thing. Will that be the next group that Kristi Noem sics her dogs on?
Too bad you dual citizens.

Leavitt’s citizenship comments clash with SCOTUS
Karoline Leavitt: “You’re either a U.S. citizen or not — You can’t be a U.S. citizen & a citizen of another country.”
The Supreme Court: It ruled in 1967 that the government can’t strip U.S. citizenship unless a person voluntarily relinquishes it.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

I suppose it depends on which family member or crony whispers in his ear regarding what’s in it for them. Oops, I mean what’s in it for him. (It’s always good to butter up the turkey.)

What happens if this alleged January 6 pipe bomber claims that he was merely a tourist who just wanted to put on a fireworks display to celebrate President Trump's victory in the 2020 election?
Would that get him a pardon, a dismissal, and maybe damages?
