Beckstrom would still be alive if that big, fat, orange asshole hadn‘t decided, on a whim, that he wanted to own the libs by sending the National Guard to “blue cities.” It was all a stupid, unnecessary, and unconstitutional, political move.
Those guardsmen should be home with their families.

I hope so, my fear as he’ll pardon them all.
Or the next president will decide we have to move on as a country and they will allget away with it
November 29, 2025 at 1:45 AM
also, doesn’t Congress determine immigration?
November 29, 2025 at 1:42 AM
but they didn’t tell soldiers to disobey your orders. They told soldiers to disobey illegal orders; so basically, by complaining, you’re admitting that your orders are illegal.

So, we’re gonna bomb the hell out of Venezuela because they run drugs, and murder people on the high seas because they’re supposedly smuggling drugs, but then he turns around and pardons a convicted drug smuggler. What a bunch of bullshit.

“permanently pause” - is that like being a little bit pregnant?

What a man of noble bearing and profound dignity. 😑
November 29, 2025 at 1:30 AM
Yeah, and the shooter wouldn’t have driven to a small national guard armory in West Virginia to shoot it up.

Those guardsmen should be home with their families.

None have attacked Russia? You mean, like the Imperial German army in World War I or the Wehrmacht in World War II?
November 28, 2025 at 3:56 AM
Gee, that’s a huge surprise — if you’re the president‘s golf buddy and don’t know a &$@#%! thing about the history of Russia and Ukraine over the last 400 years, and haven’t been paying attention to anything Vladimir Putin has done since 1999.

There’s no reason the National Guard needs to be federalized and in American cities now.

Trump owns this one

I remember when the Marines were killed at Kabul airport during the pull out and the family members were bitching about how much they hated Joe Biden because they’d be alive. Had he not done that.

At least they had a legal and strategic reason for being there.
November 28, 2025 at 3:51 AM
Yes, national guardsmen would not be dead or wounded if Trump hadn’t, on a whim, for political points, deployed, the West Virginia National Guard to DC. They’d be home with their families right now.

I love how the leaders of MAGA (as as much as a mob can be lead) are these wimpy whiners, and yet one of their core principles allegedly is a hyper masculinity.
November 28, 2025 at 3:38 AM
yeah, and I didn’t realize Oddjob could speak
November 28, 2025 at 3:15 AM
yes, but to be fair, he’s been having problems counting up to 218.
November 28, 2025 at 3:14 AM
yeah, in zombie movies.
November 28, 2025 at 3:12 AM
We’ll see. He’ll probably find some other way not to swear her in.
November 12, 2025 at 5:37 PM
assholes?

There’s a Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, Florida
November 12, 2025 at 5:35 PM
you meant “we“ didn’t you, Mr. President?
November 12, 2025 at 5:34 PM
I wonder if he puts Vaseline in his gloves like Curley.
November 12, 2025 at 5:33 PM
They don’t care about much, just so long as they can own the Libs.
