Every day, more crimes making Richard Nixon’s presidency-ending ones look like harmless grade school pranks. We’ve totally lost the plot as a country.
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

In this Tom Cotton speculates that one of the shipwrecked men “taking off his tshirt” was a hostile act that required his execution by missile from miles away.

WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?

there's a guy in my hometown newspaper, besides posting images of various dems in drag accusing them of being trans on every single article, is also salivating over the prospect of RWDS taking out liberals in not just liberal cities, but also in red states. red states been that way for my whole life
it's genuinely wild how much conservative literature is basically desiring this as an outcome

nobody has ever hurt them until they are pessimistic. we should try that.
rw leaders will be irrationally optimistic even when they are about to hurtle off a cliff. they're used to the idea that irrational enthusiasm in and of itself helps them overcome obstacles, and that having the appearance of confidence can be enough when their opponents are weak-willed and divided

Look, even if these attacks were completely legitimate acts of national defense (they aren't), treating the killing of people like it's entertainment, rather than a terrible but perhaps necessary evil, is depraved and sickening.
