Yell it out so the folks in the back can hear it too once we know.
Who is the president of the United States?
talking to reporters last night, Trump claimed of Hegseth's double tap strike that "I don't know anything about it," then moments later claimed "I don't who you're talking about" when asked his plan to pardon the former Honduran president

What's that again about Biden's autopen?
If the president doesn't know "who you're talking about," then who is signing the pardons?

This is great, now Team Trump is acknowledging that illegal orders were given to kill survivors of the initial strike, the only question is who gave them? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Pete Hegseth denies he gave orders to ‘kill everybody’ on alleged ‘narco-boat’
Defense secretary called reports about his role in strike as ‘fake news’ intended to discredit US military

A vibrant Trump showcases his remarkable stamina at his golf club yesterday. The SS is stationed outside, ready to break the window if Trump's head goes limp so he doesn't drown in a beverage or the soup. His name is on the table both to delineate where he should sit, and to remind him who he is.

Walz on Trump calling him the r-word: "We all know both as an educator & parent that using that term is just so damaging. It's hurtful. We have fought 3 decades to get this out of our schools. Kids know better. But this is what Donald Trump has done. He's normalized this type of hateful behavior."

Kelly: "We say, 'follow the law,' and this is their response? These are not serious people. This is meant to just intimidate us. We're sticking up for the Constitution here and the rule of law and they're saying these folks should be executed for doing that. He's not gonna stop me from speaking out"

They spent four months taking a wrecking ball to our state's and constitution. They couldn't be bothered with vetting.

But it's "Biden's fault" because whatever they cock up is Biden's fault.
WELKER: Why did the Trump administration grant the suspect asylum in April? Did you know then that he was moving toward radicalization?

KRISTI NOEM: All of that vetting information was collected by Joe Biden's administration. That entire process happened under Joe Biden's watch.

FDA is supposed to protect us from unsafe and ineffective medicines and vaccines.

And yet 🫠...just like at CDC, it's the political appointed leadership holding the agency hostage...

FDA is failing in its mission as it turns a political hammer to the covid vaccines.

When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.
