⭐GOP lawmakers never know anything about anything about Trump, his criminal family and regime, Epstein, or anything else of national importance when questioned by the media?
These people have law degrees, went to elite schools, yet they don't know up from down? Black from white? Day from night?

It's not sustainable to pay for every newsletter and Patreon you want to support. I subscribe to MANY and I am going to have to unsubscribe to some because it is costing me thousands of dollars a year (over $3000). More collectivist options need to be developed.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Trump laid the blame on Hegseth, and now Hegseth is laying the blame on Bradley. Is Bradley going to lay the blame on the 20-year-old naval man they ordered to fire the missile next? What a bunch of spineless little shits.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.
So there’s that, too.

Setting aside for a second the lunacy and authoritarianism surrounding the Trump/Hegseth threat to court martial Mark Kelly, it is also politically moronic. No military court or jury would uphold this, and you only do Kelly a tremendous favor by making him more popular than ever.
