The colonel has a right to choose his path, but the problem is that Trump will now fill his post with someone less devoted to his constitutional oath and more devoted to Trump. It's same process that helped MAGAtize Congress.

"Plenary" means absolute, as in power without any restrictions. Miller froze because he realized he gave away the plan. Dictatorship isn't simply an accusation anymore. It's the administration's guiding principle.

A lifelong coward just hours from closing the government spends millions to fly top brass to Virginia so he can cosplay as a tough guy, telling them to use Americans as stand-ins for people he would subjugate. In reality, though, we're not stand-ins. We're the targets. Release the Epstein files.

This speaker sums up Charlie Kirk perfectly. We can abhor how he died, but cannot abide how he lived. He was a professional propagandist from the day he left from high school, spreading hate and lies wherever he went. It is a disgrace that he's treated as a martyr.
