There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

Watching the army navy game and PVT Bonespurs out there bamboozling everyone there. They really don’t understand that of all the CIC’s, he’s the worst of the worst. They’re nothing but cannon fodder to him, while he plays up the phony “tough leader, I have your back” 💩 Makes me 🤮🤮🤮 over and over!!

Rather ironic bringing up the anti-trans bs, Cruz and former TX Gov Ann Richards.

You’d think all of this right wing outrage about bathrooms and sports would have faded after 50 years! Geezus! Who’s old enough to remember Renée Richards? And she’s still alive and kicking at 91!!
I remember Ann Richards!! She was a great governor. She also had zero problems dragging Bush every chance she had!! That said, I worry about a democrat winning statewide in Texas. Cruz won reelection in 2024 because Texans bought the anti trans BS.

If the Democratic Party retakes Congress, the first duty is accountability. Every crime, every abuse, every betrayal of the public trust must be unearthed. If we look away, we teach future generations that power excuses corruption.

Paul Ryan (remember him??)wasn’t any better…I guess just not as slimy.
His feigned ignorance is disturbing. He definitely needs to be removed.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Feeling a little old today. 53 years ago, 12/04/72, I took the oath and was enlisted in the Army.Next day, first time flying at 18, from Seattle to Ft McClellan, AL and it was an ALL DAY nightmare! Diversions, layovers and standby because of storms and floods in the Midwest. The last connecting

It’s not about any drugs. It’s never been about any drugs. It’s a smokescreen pretense to invade and pillage Venezuela’s oil.
And don’t kid yourselves, the Jungle Warfare Training has been reactivated in Panama. They’re spinning the “story” that it’s “unrelated” to the phony murderous war on drugs

Picturing new SNL skits with a smiling “Joe Biden” circling around the table on his bicycle or “Joe” happily standing behind him with his 🍦dripping in his hair….
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Some dumb🫏 on Washington Journal @c-span.bsky.social this morning,seemed to think having 3 outboards (and where’s he getting the intel of this so-called fact)on these boats makes them “the go-fast-Miami-Vice” type “drug boats” they aren’t. They’re full of 💩!!

All anyone needs to do is look up the common coastal fishing boats in Venezuela! Those murdering SOB’s are acting like they’re using the “cigarette boats” from “Miami Vice”….🙄

Here’s an example of some common coastal boats called Peneros (~ the n) used for fishing.
These are the supposed “drug boats” that are being blown out of the water, destroying any evidence IF it even ever existed.

Maybe another question should be asked of the senator if he feels it’s acceptable when the majority of MAGA freely and constantly use the 2nd syllable of the word referring to us as “lib****s”. It probably goes right over his head!🤔🙄

Indiana GOP Sen. Bohacek on Trump's use of r-word: "When it seems quite clear we're isolating a population by use of a slur, at some point you have to speak out... it's a word used to denigrate the intellectually disabled community... you can't validate slurs like that... it's a matter of character"

If the President doesn’t want to be called a Russian asset, perhaps he should stop acting like a Russian asset.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

What’s the old saying about…. “Birds of a feather, stick/stay together”?? Yeah…🤔🙄that!

How many people out of Trump U alone did 47 scam? Bet there’s lots of Floridians still chapped over Bondi getting $25K to ignore their suit against him.
How about all the contractors/vendors he’s stiffed as well?
He scammed over 1,000 people, most of whom were not wealthy - veterans, farmers, teachers, nurses, small businesses owners. Some lost everything. But he’s a rich Republican, so Trump let him get away with it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/u...
