I guess I'm less concerned with the shape and form of his insanity than seeing some sort of large scale agreement that that man is insane.

You left out the "even if someone dies" bit.

They always leave out that part.
Funny, that.

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

~40% of the country thinks the planet is 6000 years old and Jesus will return in their lifetime. This is not new.

Hegseth's "100% certain" intelligence about the last boat he attacked turns out to be 100% incorrect. The last boat struck by the US military in the Caribbean was Colombian with Colombian citizens aboard, Colombian President Gustavo Petro said on Wednesday. NYT has confirmed Petro's claims.

The New York Times asegura que sí había colombianos en embarcación bombardeada por Estados Unidos en el Caribe: Casa Blanca había respondido a Petro

Este miércoles, Washington pidió al presidente retractarse tras asegurar que una de las embarcaciones era colombiana.
