The U.S. is reportedly no longer pressuring Zelensky to sign the peace plan by Thursday, November 27. Deadlines may now be more flexible, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Aside from the high seas murder spree, an order to court martial a sitting senator for 100% legal political speech, and to do so under blatant unlawful command influence, would probably be the clearest case yet of an order so manifestly unlawful there is a duty for anybody in uniform to refuse it.

Someone very close to Putin once explained to me that Putin thinks that all Westerners can be bought. We have no values; only a price. Dmitriev's prominent role in drafting the latest "peace plan" underscores that Putin assessment. I hope Putin is wrong. I fear for some, he might be right.

Re: Kelly
They're about to give a man who would be an unbeatable presidential nominee a huge moral platform and I don't think they've thought this through.

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

good work guys you picked a fight in which Dems can stand up out of their permanent defensive crouch and go “our guy is a fucking astronaut and you’re an alcoholic tv host”
Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

Removing Wiles would only empower Miller, which would be worse. Miller's already the de facto chief of staff and, arguably, president, and he and Vought are probably the only removals that could actually improve this administration's approval ratings.

OK, this may seem pedantic, but she is supposedly an editor, so I am going to be pedantic.
The metaphor she is mangling is that "most of politics is fought between the 40-yard lines," as on a football field. But the distance between the opposing 40-yard lines is not 40 yards. It's 20 yards.

If the government can retrospectively apply immigration laws to refugees, it can also make things you did in the past that were legal at the time illegal and throw you in prison for them. I could make retrospective taxes and bill you for what you made ten years ago, for example.

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

I wish Secretary Duffy would concentrate on keeping the skies safe and leave the moral hectoring to me. I'm better at it.
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

That’s not the oath.
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took
