Get 'er!

Truth bounces off of these morons.
Reporter: You said that that second strike was in full accordance with the law of armed conflict but the Navy's own manual of law of war says that specifically firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime that's forbidden under U.S. Law and the law of armed conflict…

Jeffries on the WH's explanation of Hegseth's reported double tap strike: "The White House is lying, but that's no surprise, because they lie for a living and the American people know it."

It really is. Sometimes it is hard to keep up with the lies that come from that podium and the Oval Office.
December 1, 2025 at 7:47 PM
Ah, the lies just keep piling up.

As the nuns taught me in Catholic school, it's not the first lie that is the problem. It's all the ones you tell after, to cover up the first lie.
Admiral Bradley can take the hit for an administration that doesn't give two shits about him or the military in general, or he can drop his retirement papers and out every single political appointee involved. We'll soon see what kind of officer and leader he is.
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?

LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.

Guys,guys,catch up already.

This is how oligarchies work.

Take care of the oligarchs, while the rest suffer.

I'm sure a donation helped too. Seems that $2M is the going price these days.
Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

Trump vodka.

Ukraine gives up it's industrial heartland, so we can have Trump vodka.

This is all so fucking silly.
The rot of Russian style corruption runs deep with the Trump AKA Krasnov regime and we are knee deep in it only after 11 months.

Wake up America.

Don’t drink the Trump kool-aid Vodka to celebrate the American Fascist Party either. And that includes Hogsbreath.

So far, Trump has pardoned:

Changpeng Zhao (founder, Binance) - pled guilty to money laundering. Facilitated millions in transactions for terrorist organizations such as Hamas.

Ross Ulbricht (founder of the Silk Road) - the dark web Costco of illegal drugs.

Guys, come on, get with the times.

This is how oligarchies work. Bunch rich fucks get together and divvy up the assets.

Just put your head down, and be a worker bee. This is not for you to concern yourself with.
Dear Alaska and America wake up!

What did Trump negotiate away with Putin. Don’t be so quick to plunder the Arctic wilderness for oil just yet.

Trump is a traitor.
This is not diplomacy. It’s a corporate M&A deal making ploy to ravage and plunder a war torn Ukraine.

“…Inside were details of the commercial and economic plans the Trump admin had been pursuing with Russia, including jointly mining rare earths in the Arctic.”
