3. This would create just a unending flow of zero-value paperwork, amidst a culture of fear. Just all the best aspects of the USSR in one neat package.
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

Isn’t this merely spinning the original report in Hegseth’s favor?

The first story didn’t say he ordered a strike on the survivors, it alleged he said “Kill them all” - an illegal order for no quarter, which was obeyed. The Times calls this an “ordered a lethal strike,” but it’s the same thing.

The fact that this is a surprise to Bradley, presumably Fenton, and a whole bunch of large adult son SOF officers is a justifiable reason alone to fire everyone at SOCOM, just for being fucking stupid
WAPO: “.. Officials in Congress and the Pentagon said Monday they are increasingly concerned that the Trump administration intends to scapegoat the military officer who directed U.S. forces to kill two survivors of a targeted strike ..”

I’d honestly rather Netflix bought them than Paramount
Netflix’s new bid to buy Warner Bros is a mostly cash offer.

The company is arranging a mega-loan to be able to buy WB

I wonder if he was smart enough to get Hegseth's order in writing or not
The fall guy. Though he is probably also guilty of first degree murder.

To note just one of the many problems with this idea, there are multiple that countries do not permit you to relinquish citizenship — and some of those countries also have jus sanguinis laws that make someone a citizen even if they were born in the U.S. and never left.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, just introduced a bill to ban Americans from holding dual citizenship. The bill says that to “preserve the integrity of national citizenship, allegiance to the United States must be undivided.” It’s called the Exclusive Citizenship Act.

Looks like Trump and Hegseth might be preparing to throw the military under the bus on the second strike.

This is why you don’t execute illegal orders. Because you are responsible

schmitt’s derisive mention of “color revolution” is a good clue as to the nature of his information environment
Sen. Eric Schmitt: "This is the language of a color revolution where you're calling on military men and women to disobey orders."

Invoking "color revolutions" as a boogeyman like this really goes to show how much these guys have cooked their brains on Russian propaganda specifically.

President Hernandez was responsible for smuggling 500 TONS of cocaine into the United States! He was the top dog; the Pablo Escobar figure! He wasn’t just “selling drugs in that country.”
Reporter: You have made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the US—

Trump: Right

Reporter: Can you explain why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?

Trump: If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president

The Trump apologist checklist after Trump or his administration does something awful:

1. Fake news, it didn’t happen.
2. It might’ve happened, but it would be OK if it happened.
3. So it happened, so what.
4. Whatabout [insert names of various presidents here]

We should Glonzo this
Trump allowed 17 members of the Sinaloa cartel into the US.

In May he commuted the 6x life sentences of the leader of the Gangster Disciples, most notorious drug trafficking & murderous street gang in the US.

Now Honduran drug trafficker Hernandez.

Is Trump setting up his own drug corridor?

Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results

Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.

Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?

Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.
