You can’t make this stuff up
What a sick joke. Will they put photos of the murders in the Caribbean Sea in the lobby? How about a photo of Trump clapping as the murderer Putin arrives in Alaska? Or Trump having the time of his life with the murdering Saudi Prince MBS?

I would say it’s a clown show, but these clowns kill people and will get people killed in the future so it’s not really that funny or entertaining.

Just a reminder, this is what Pete Hegseth's mother wrote to him:

"You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego."

If there weren't 834 other scandals, this would be scandal #1.

Selling out US security, our European allies and Ukraine for personal financial gain.

Witkoff and Kushner must be investigated, or, there must be hearings if Dems take back the House.

Trump says Witkoff and Kushner had "a very good" meeting with Putin
Trump said their impression was that Putin wants "to see the war ended," but it wasn't clear what progress had been made in the talks.

NEW: Pete Kegseth's "Fog of war, we didn't see them" line is a load of BS. The Pentagon knew there were survivors and murdered them. apnews.com/article/trum...
Pentagon knew boat attack left survivors but still launched a follow-on strike, AP sources say
The Pentagon knew there were survivors after a September attack on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean Sea and the U.S. military still carried out a follow-up strike.

Cocaine is not fentanyl. Blowing up vessels off the coast of Venezuela doesn't stop fentanyl. It just gives Hegseth a rush. And hopefully gets him indicted.

From where I am standing, I know this is the movement I have been working toward. I feel the rafters shaking and the walls moving. I feel the aftershock of the work that went into Aftyn’s race and how it’s rippling out into red states across the country.

“Messages sent from Hegseth’s Signal account to the group chat included material from documents marked classified at the time they were sent, and offered specific, real-time updates about planned military strikes. One even read: ‘This is when the first bombs will drop.’”

How many Americans are we losing to alcoholism every day?

Are we going to declare war on Anheuser-Busch and drone strike the Clydesdales?
Sen. Roger Marshall defends Hegseth: "Look, we're losing 200 Americans every day to drug poisoning from these drug lords. This is a war. And it's ugly. War is never pretty ... that strike probably saved thousands of American lives."
