AnnSheltonOKC @annsheltonokc.bsky.social · 23h

When the ultra conservative governor of the state of Oklahoma says that the National Guard has no business in Chicago or Portland, or Oklahoma, don't you really know that you have f***** up? Don't you really KNOW it?

Pam Bondi is like the cheerleader who was put on the debate team because she's popular. Then she gets in a debate, and bad things happen.

In all fairness, the Trump Administration should know quite a bit about insurrection.

This is an article explaining the Posse Comitatus Act. It was signed by Rutherford Hayes, but is still valid and foundational law. It is at the Crux of why we don't want the National Guard in our cities.

The law generally prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force.

At least one of the vessels taking part in the Global Sumud Flotilla appeared to still be sailing just off Gaza’s coast early Thursday morning, according to the flotilla's online tracker.

Donald Trump gave every Terrorist on the planet advanced notice that all of our generals and admirals would be in the same place at the same time. And he spent millions of dollars of our money to do it. Seven days in May.

Oh, look. Blame game for the shutdown? I feel so confused. The Republicans control the White House. The Republicans control the House of Representatives. The Republicans control the Senate. So, who's this going to be on? The Democrats? Again, I'm very confused.

After hearing Trump speech, the generals and admirals in the building got up slowly and quietly and looked like they were in shock. It reminded me of a group of children who just found out their crazy dad wrote them out of the will.

AnnSheltonOKC @annsheltonokc.bsky.social · 11d

There's only one thing I know for certain. There is not one general or admiral in that building who is going to walk up to a hot mic and say what he thinks about this speech.

One word: Pyongyang.

If confused by Hegseth's speech to the generals, whenever you hear the words "as President Trump rightfully says" delete those words and insert "as our Dear Marshall in His Infinite Wisdom Says." Then imagine terrified North Koreans applauding madly, hoping to survive.

The president made the remarks alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He claimed earlier in the day that Gazans had "no alternative" but to leave their homes.
