To anyone who thinks it’s an “exaggeration” that the rule of law is in danger…
U.S. Senator Mark Kelly is being investigated for the “crime” of telling people not to commit crimes.
We’ve fallen far.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

7,232 Poles are recognized as Righteous. That is over a quarter of the total recognized and the majority without contest.
To claim Poland's collaberation was only a matter of Lugers to their collective heads disgraces the bravery of those Poles and lies about centuries of Polish history.

On July 21, 2024, Harris became the de facto head of the Democratic Party and was literally on the cusp of being the most powerful world leader on the planet.
She made the decision to follow Biden on this. This "Everyone sucked but me" thing isn't working and her political career is rightfully dead

Rogue One is (a) fantastic and (b) necessary. Star Wars works because despite an expanding universe, its core is 3 films made between 1977-1983, and you need to get an audience decades removed to keep coming back to Flash Gordon sci-fantasy. RO ties the PT and the OT beyond Vader's own narrative.

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

When I have to be somewhere in a professional or sacrosanct manner, I will be dressed as demanded. But I am getting on a plane in sweatpants.
If I am going to be stuck on an upcharge-powered flying bus for three hours, I am going to be somewhat comfortable.

DUFFY: In the end, it's my responsibility to behave well. I can't offload that to anybody else. How I dress? I can't blame anybody else.

Trump does not care about Ukrainian sovereignty or democracy. Trump does not frame this war as one between good vs evil, democrats vs autocrats, or the colonized vs the imperialists. He just wants the war to end so he can take credit. The details don't matter to him at all.

Nazis finding out, on camera, that the Reform Party guy that turned the modern GOP back into The Know Nothings and begged the Libertarian Party for their nomination may not have strong principles to begin with.
I've never injected heroin, but I have to imagine that first hit feels a lot like watching this video of Jack Posobiec storming out of Friday's presser after Trump says he agrees with a lot of Mamdani's positions

This is absolutely NOT in the oath that we took. Like at all.
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took
(Not a no!)

It's adorable that Owens thinks that France, a NATO ally, would launch an act of war against the world's sole superpower and break a nearly 250 year old alliance to murderer Nazi influencers.
