I voted for the qualified candidate for president, not the unqualified, twice impeached, convicted felon out on bail.

51 years ago today I took delivery of my brand new European market spec 1974 Norton 850 Interstate MK III. It was definitely a simpler time. No rider aids, ABS, traction control or electric start. No heated grips or seat or EFI, EMU. Just basic slide cabs and a kick starter.

Gee maybe blowing up all the evidence is not so smart? 🤔
Maybe a weekend talking head isn’t capable of running anything more complex than a blow dryer?
Mounting evidence casts doubt that those killed—who now number over 80—were even trafficking drugs to the United States. And now, Trump is pardoning the Honduran ex-president convicted of crimes relating to flooding the U.S. with cocaine.

Trump Boat Bombings Suddenly on Shakier Ground as Damning Info Emerges
Will Republicans give us a real investigation into Trump’s bombings, now that we just learned horrific new details about them? Or are they seriously going to fall on their swords for Pete Hegseth?

The way to react to all these acts from this dickless twerp is to say, “ yes we know you’re a petty asshole Donnie but you’re also a felon and an adjudicated rapist. Release the Epstein files”.
Yes, we’re going to keep talking about that.
Trump is just the worst! The National Park Service is reshuffling its free-admission schedule so that visitors get in free on Donald Trump’s birthday next year, while Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth (previously free days) will now require regular entrance fees.
National Parks are now free on Trump's birthday, but not on MLK Jr. Day or Juneteenth
The Trump administration overhauled the list of free National Park days for 2026.

Trump pardoned Henry Cuellar who "allegedly had taken hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from the government of Azerbaijan and a Mexico-based bank in exchange for promises to work to shift US policy."

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

This has been shared via a bunch of sites. It is worth noting that the report, relying on anonymous internal sources, seems to be coming from the right (complaints about ongoing Trump Derangement Syndrome, lack of Fox News, welcoming end of DEI).

Damning report labels FBI ‘rudderless ship’ under Kash Patel — with him and Dan Bongino more concerned with building ‘personal résumés’
FBI Director Kash Patel is facing withering criticism days after the White House denied media reports that the president is about to fire him.

To a greater degree than other agencies, Patel has been targeted by parts of the online right. He keeps firing people at their behest, and saying "Yeah, I just did this to keep my job.’” His girlfriend is even suing one of them! donmoynihan.substack.com/p/how-the-fb...

If reporting is accurate, Pete Hegseth ordered and oversaw plainly unlawful killings.

He has lost any legitimate claim to lead our armed forces.

He should resign immediately, and Congress must pursue full accountability.

Sen. Mark Kelly: “President Trump is trying to silence me. Threatening to kill me for saying what is true. And he sent his Secretary of Defense after me. And it's not going to work.”

If you want to know why Hegseth is panicking about reminders from Mark Kelly and others that there is accountability for giving or carrying out illegal orders, it’s likely because he knows he has given illegal orders to murder people.

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.
