“Most immigrants arrested in Trump’s D.C. crackdown had no criminal records”

“The “crime emergency” declared by Trump resulted in 932 arrests of immigrants with no criminal conviction”
- WaPo

So how many fewer than 932 were number of promised arrests of violent criminals? As many as 10 arrested?

It’s been over three months since the killing of those shipwrecked survivors.

Impeach & indict.

And release full Epstein files.

“Leavitt confirmed 2nd strike on boat targeted Sept. 2, but denied done Hegseth’s request.

“Leavitt said admin denies Hegseth gave order, pointing to [Admiral] Bradley as being authorized to conduct strikes.”
- M Vazquez, WaPo

So criminals Hegseth & Trump agree 2 throw criminal Admiral under bus?

“In a classified briefing for lawmakers scrutinizing the Trump admin’s killing of suspected drug smugglers around Latin America, top Republicans in the room [in Oct.] appeared frustrated.

“Defense officials… were unable to explain the mission’s strategy & scope”
- WaPo, lead story old news (Oct)?

“The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself.”

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement.”
- Conservative WaPo contributor George F. Will

“Admiral Bradley made the correct decision to ultimately sink the boat and eliminate the threat.”
- Hegseth, fooling no one
December 3, 2025 at 12:31 PM
“I didn’t know about the second strike. I didn’t know anything about people. I wasn’t involved, and I knew they took out a boat.”
- Trump (apparently just learning these boats are manned?)

He called the whole Cabinet together… again.

They embarrassed themselves praising his “leadership”… again.

He fell asleep… again.

“He also suggested that the war in Ukraine was not a full-blown war and that Russia was acting in a "surgical" manner which would not be repeated in a direct confrontation with European powers.”

“Leavitt[‘s] scripted remarks… elicited a furious backlash w/in DoD, where officials described feeling angry at the uncertainty over whether Hegseth would take responsibility for his alleged role in the operation — or leave… staff under him to face the consequences.”
-WaPo, on despicablity squared

The Hegseth post throwing an Admiral under the bus for following Hegseth’s lead is the most despicable thing I’ve ever read…and I’ve read “Catch 22” and all the dystopian-future novels.

If you repeatedly “aced” cognitive tests and they did an MRI of your brain, would you be able to remember what part of your body was scanned?
December 2, 2025 at 11:58 AM
Hegseth pushed Bradley under after Trump pushed Hegseth under.

Who will the Admiral “support”?
December 2, 2025 at 11:50 AM
“It was just an MRI. What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain…”
- Trump

ANNOUNCER: “It was the brain.”

🤦‍♂️

One day Hegseth & Noem will be in front of a judge. Let’s see how their argument that they don’t need to follow the orders of “radical judges” works then.

The lazy narcissist tried to meet his campaign promises on the economy through uniformed magical thinking about how tariffs work.

Now he hides reports on the economy which prove just how misinformed he was.

“Congressional committees to scrutinize U.S. killing of boat strike survivors”

“In a rare split with the Trump admin, GOP-led panels in the House & Senate say they want a full accounting in the September military attack.”

May the “rare splits” multiply!
