How quickly he changed from, “The President of Peace” to “Bomb Don”. Almost like he has a big domestic problem he’s trying to distract us from.

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

Today the Pentagon censured Senator Mark Kelly and moved to strip part of his earned military retirement benefits for stating the truth.

This administration is trying to convince Americans that truth is whatever it says it is—even when the evidence is plainly in front of us.

Remember when a guy lost an election and then spent months making wild, baseless claims that it was stolen, leveraging the personality cult he’d built to try to get people to reject the results? And then thousands of his supporters rioted, injuring hundreds of cops?

Whatever happened to that guy?

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

T: So force is on the table?

M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

Bloomberg's @rosaprince.bsky.social says unpicking Brexit "could be a vote winner for Starmer" and "more importantly, on the policy side, what he really needs is to deliver growth. So, if any of this can lead to an economic uptick, then it should be something he should consider." ~AA

Trump said today:

"MAGA is me. MAGA loves everything I do, and I love everything I do, too."

If your toddler spoke to you like this, you'd be concerned.

Most powerful man in the world, ladies and gents. Still hard to believe, I know.

The pardon for Hernandez makes an obvious & absolute mockery of each & every attempt to rationalise, or even justify, Trump's treatment of Maduro. I'm not sure this single, simple point can be stressed enough. Once again, he proves his critics right & reduces his supporters to epic moral corruption.

The United States just decided that it's perfectly acceptable for a foreign government to invade a country in order to remove their terrible leader and take them to be criminally tried back in said foreign government's own country.

So...any volunteers?

So, this should finally put to rest any delusions that there are decent people left in the US military who will stand up to illegal orders and protect democracy. The US military is now more likely to kill US citizens rather than help them. They are not our friends.
