Hegseth may think he's Saruman, but the men and women of the U.S. armed forces are not his Uruk-hai.

I don't buy the justification for bombing boats in international waters. It's just plain murder. The administration says we're in an "armed conflict" with Venezuela because they're smuggling drugs, but if drugs were "arms," wouldn't they be protected by the 2nd amendment?

This is the video that Hegseth wants to use to court martial Senator Kelly. Reminding service members that their oath to the Constitution requires them to refuse *illegal* orders is not "sedition."

Is Trump Giving Illegal Orders? Dems Just Blew That Question Wide Open
From the boat bombings to deportations to prosecutions, the evidence mounts. And the speaker of the House could get to the bottom of it if he wanted to. Yeah, right.

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.

Trump defends Saudi crown prince over Khashoggi killing
The de facto Saudi ruler was branded a pariah in 2018 after the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Now, U.S.-Saudi relations are approaching a high point.

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Kudos to ABC. More like this please. The reporter asked appropriate questions about the Epstein files (and Khashoggi in another clip) and got the "terrible reporter" bullying in spades.
Reporter: Mr. President, why wait for congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?
Trump: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude… I think the license should be taken away from ABC. We have a great commissioner, a chairman who should look at that.

Patel didn't *disclose* anything. It wasn't a secret. As Smith mentioned in his report, agents subpoenaed phone records as part of the J6 investigation. They followed Justice Department policy in doing so, but Patel fired them anyway.
