New England bioscience guy. Sports, history (esp US), science of all kinds, even politics now. We live in historically stupid times, but our potential is still great with common sense. No DMs
This is true.

Well, you have to understand that Trump is up all night working hard as our President posting unhinged rants about all kinds of topics, most designed to avoid accountability, grift, or spread hate on various someones. So of course he’s going to be tired the next day.

I had no idea! Trump really is a true American hero! Hundreds of millions! Wow!

That is A LOT of people Trump’s saved, and at a cost of only 80+ inconsequentials (ie, non-Americans) and a handful of missiles!

Although if the Coast Guard seized the boats instead, we could have saved the missiles.

“One member of a group of Afghans acted in rage, so you shut down immigration services to 19 nations. WHY?!?”

Pretext. Trump wants to shut down immigration services to 19 nations. That’s the goal.
One individual Afghan acting out of rage gives justification. That’s the pretext.

I doubt that. I’m sure Trump got some sort of compensation from pardoning the drug kingpin. Enriching Trump IS Trump’s agenda.

If he’s got an iota of common sense, the admiral will have detailed contemporaneous notes, signed orders, and/or recordings.

Haul them all before Congress, from the peon pushing the button all the way up the chain of command through the admiral to the Secretary of War Crimes.

Let Congress dig to identify the true American hero who saved our beloved United States from 2 dudes clinging to debris in international waters.

This asslicking behavior of a felon and pedophile will never go away. It’s in the historical record. Years from now, school children across America will write papers on on these bootlicking assholes wondering what the fuck got into the water supply.

Ted Cruz translation: “Mr President, I think objectively on the size, the case can be made that your dick still fits comfortably in my mouth.”

Between the 1st and 2nd strike, Pete felt comfortable enough in the success of the mission to leave and was not even notified that a 2nd strike was necessary to defend the US against this craft.

“Fog of war”? I don’t think so.
“Stupor of intoxication”? More likely.
“Drunk with power”? Absolutely

“Navy Vice Adm. Frank “Mitch” Bradley, who Leavitt said ordered the second strike, is expected to provide a classified briefing Thursday to lawmakers overseeing the military.”

Well, Admiral Bradley, I hope you took copious notes and recorded shit. And watch out for that bus!

In a normal day and age, Hegseth would have already had his ass subpoenaed and hauled before Congressional committees for hearings to explain his actions and the actions of his department.

“Why not just spell it out?”, he says. Well, for the same reason you don’t release a jobs report, economic data, your tax returns, or the Epstein files - it’s not good so you want it buried.

Welp, Congress will either become more democratic or more radical right and fascist.

So I guess snow and ice are slippery this winter, too.
