Coming into my replies like an all-or-nothing malcontent gets you blocked — nobody sane has time for that bullshit.
As kids it was: "screenshots or it didn't happen;" now it's "video from multiple angles or you're a `domestic terrorist’."
BBC New's BBC Verify with Ros Atkins

Prove that President Trump and Kristi Noem lied

When they both claimed that Alex Pretti was a domestic terrorist

As the video evidence which they present, shows otherwise

"Informing Congress would've screwed with our plans," is not a state-of-affairs that US citizens ought to tolerate between their (ostensibly) co-equal executive & legislative branches of federal government.

• Check/Update your Voter Registration
• Vote Early this October!
RUBIO: "It's just not the kind of mission that you can pre-notify because it endangers the mission."

TRUMP: "If I can add one thing to that. Congress has a tendency to leak. This would not be good."

Does anyone know who is *actually* giving direction at the Executive Branch these days?
I know it's not this nutbag — he's just there for the cameras, and the nearby sycophants don't have the chops.

Who's really giving the orders?
Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Please consider framing the latest GOP bs in the following manner:

"Instead of restoring the healthcare guarantees that their Big Beautiful Betrayal law took away, Republicans shut-down government and *now suddenly* want also to get rid of the Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act‼️

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

A Trumper asked me today if I was one of those nutjobs trying to save polar bears.

My reply I think shocked him: No. The polar bears are already dead bears walking/swimming. We can't save them. They will go extinct in the wild. At this point, we're just trying to keep agriculture from collapsing.

Always be wary of MAGAs/Marxists posing as disaffected Democrats — "the answer that's politically correct," as if actually showing-up to vote in 2024 & electing Democrats into the majorities needed to prevent all this trouble, wasn't the solution all along.
idk what the solution is. i understand that voting is the answer that’s politically correct.

Universities must teach students how to listen across lines of difference, Dartmouth President Sian Leah Beilock argues. Otherwise, "young people risk becoming more isolated, more easily manipulated, and less prepared to lead in a pluralistic democracy."

That "appearing to directly mislead" line has a lot of potential for good vis-à-vis faux news broadcasters.

Re: hyper consolidation — it would be in Disney's best interests to spin-off each of its subsidiaries (ABC, FOX, Marvel, ESPN + Hulu) into their own entities in exchange for shares with no power over operations & a binding veto on mergers/buy-outs.

A corporate footprint is an attack surface now.
Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Important: Gavin Newsom just announced that California, Oregon, Hawaii and Washington State released unified west coast vaccine recommendations expressly designed to counterprogram Trump/RFK's destruction of our public health system.

This will gain momentum in blue states (see thread below).

Don't see a way out?
• Register to vote,
• Actually *show-up* for the election & vote for people who will empower the IRS to properly tax them!

Yes, this whole thing could have been avoided if you'd simply have registered & shown-up to vote, so that they could be *properly* taxed!

Answer:
Defense Undersecretary Elbridge Colby (overtly anti-Ukraine) urged Hegseth to withhold weapons shipments toward mitigating (alleged) US supply shortages.
Hegseth authorized that move (allegedly) without running it by the White House.
COLLINS: Did you approve of the pause of weapons shipments to Ukraine?

TRUMP: We want to put defensive weapons because Putin is not treating human beings right

COLLINS: So who ordered the pause?

TRUMP: I don't know. Why don't you tell me?
