I like to follow people who have meaningful accounts. If you have no posts and no presence, then I can’t. Sorry.
Lots of news about Hegseth. I honestly don’t even remember who Biden‘s Secretary of Defense was. I sure miss the drama free days where we had competent people running things.
Is there a Polymarket poll whether Pete Hogsbreath was drunk or sober at the time he ordered Admiral "Mitch" to Drop the 2nd bomb and
"KILL THEM ALL"?

Apparently so
Does the “scham” part mean “shame,” by any chance?

Shame, all those years of SEALs & DEVGRU but Bradley couldn't spot an obvious trap set up by the world's least trustworthy people.

Of course the illegal order they gave Bradley which he followed has now become his "combat decision" for which he is responsible. It was always going to be that way.
If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

Gift article from the New York Times. Things in the Justice Department are far worse than you can imagine. It will take some time for the DoJ to recover from this administration.

The Germans have a word for everything. Schadenfreudefreude
🤔 Now, what was that word, for when you’re experiencing schadenfreude, but then you feel guilty for the schadenfreude? 🧐

I will be forever sad the Cornell did this too. Making an ethical decision based on money is never going to work out for a so-called institute of higher learning.
The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.
BREAKING: Northwestern University has agreed to pay the U.S. Treasury $75 million, over the course of three years as part of an agreement with the federal government to restore funding and end investigations into the university

I’m watching the Live 8 documentary on CNN about when Republican administrations actually gave a crap about disadvantaged people and helped them.
They're playing "We Are The World"?!?!

Irony didn't just die, it exploded into molecules.

Of course, we’ll get skewered on social media, but what about the folks that were killed during ICE raids in California? All needless, all performative BS. All people who didn’t choose to put themselves in harm way.
One guy killed one National Guard member and the media is treating it like it’s 9/11 because they’re scared the President will accuse them of underreacting if they try to apply even the slightest bit of proportionality

Isn’t this some violation of using government offices for political purposes?
I’ll 2nd that✋🏻 Nothing could be further from the truth.
Wow, this is a load of bullshit.

Don’t do it when everyone is watching you and they don’t see what caused it. That was a stupid move on his part. He’s going to get suspended for a week.

Jennings gets dickpunched by Moehrig and then head-slaps him in the postgame

Seems like a thing the commissioner's office might sort of look at this week

Why is this surprising anybody? They voted for a rapist, felonious traitor who rips off children’s charities and pays porn stars for sex.

Of course this was staged, because how else are they going to manufacture outrage when there’s only one same party out there?

Is this supposedly classified and that’s why you can’t tell us the topic of the call? And shouldn’t this info have come out earlier?
During my time on Trump's National Security Council, I reviewed a lot of calls between Trump and foreign leaders.
One of, of course, was the call with President Zelenskyy. Another was with Trump and Mohammed bin Salman.
You know about Trump and Zelesnkyy’s call, but have you heard about the call between Trump and the Saudi Crown Prince?

Watch my statement below. Mr. President, release the transcript.

It’s a time honored tradition and one that everybody should always remember - it’s a good thing to have dirt on a President.
Unique among inmates, Ghislaine Maxwell gets room service in her cell, after-hours access to recreation, a private visitor suite with refreshments and even a service-dog puppy to play with.

Is this a federal prison sentence or a comped stay at a Trump Hotel?
