Trump shares fault for any National Guardsmen injured or killed in his op. He’s inviting murderers & terrorists to attack military personnel by making them highly visible targets in public streets, the guard should have never been used as props for the regime’s political optics.

National Security is at a record low for the United States, from leaks in the White House by foreign intelligence to FBI agents being used as personal bodyguards for a clubbing podcaster’s honeypot girlfriend. This regime is dismantling public safety and trust.

With DC shooter now identified as an Afghan national not the antifa secret agent White House hoped for a good time to remember the Trump admin has gutted domestic anti-terrorism capacity and reassigned many to finding grandmothers to arrest at immigration hearings.

Military personnel and veterans start pushing against Trump and the next day National Guardsmen are shot by an Afghan terrorist creating a highly publicized news event? Right.

Two National Guardsmen were shot in Washington, D.C.

Democrats immediately express their sympathy for the victims and their families.

Republicans immediately spread conspiracy theories to blame Democrats for the shooting.

Anyone still believe both parties are the same?

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Interviews and records show the White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.

The incident is the latest in a string of matters where the Trump administration has inserted itself to help friends and target foes.

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

We always look back at how overboard the NYT went on Hillary's emails, but I think it's also informative how underboard they went on Access Hollywood tape. The very first story led with his apology, as if that was more important than the existence of the tape itself.

"Truth Social seemed like it was going to be an echo chamber that did nothing for him. Trump ended up getting even more radicalized while he was in exile at Mar-a-Lago on that platform, marinating in memes. His posts got more unhinged. He got more into QAnon and reposted white supremacist accounts."

Don't forget Melania's role in all of this. She also knew Epstein and Maxwell. The first time she allegedly had sex with Donald was on Epstein's "Lolita Express" jet.

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else.

Republicans said no.

So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS.

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?
