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.

They’re called seditionists.

PFAs cause cancer. These chemicals are known carcinogens and states like MN have successfully banned them. This is intentional poisoning.
The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

1. She was the only person legally eligible to the Biden war chest, campaign infrastructure, field offices, staffers etc whereas anyone else would have had to start from scratch with just 107 days *before* a convention?
2. Her job was literally to take over in case anything happened to him?

Obama feebly tried to stage an open convention. That would have been much, much better.
It was never clear to me why Democrats rallied around Harris so immediately, except for some weird notion on appearing unified.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

"pick a fucking side"💯
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

This is the farthest thing from the truth, but if JD has proven anything it’s that he will say the most despicable things for Trump.

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

“There are some people who hate London, and hate New York,” Mayor Sadiq Khan told me, on Bloomberg TV. “There's a reason why they demonize London, and now, indeed, New York. Why? Because we are progressive cities. We are liberal cities. We are multicultural cities. And we are incredibly successful.”
