This story should remind all of us that gaining wealth and power is very often accomplished without skill, intelligence, or hard work. Sometimes it’s merely a complete lack of ethics that achieves those results.

This is an excellent explanation of how unbelievably incompetent and full on nonsense the note from Weiss was. My guess: 1. Someone who has very little experience is journalism (and not the stuff that tickles billionaires) is clearly a mile wide and foot deep as an editor and in far over her skis.
Watching the segment: The first thing I'm going to zero in on is the crime stats. Here's how 60 Minutes set it up:
- Leavitt saying the people going to CECOT were the worst of the worst
- Then 60 Minutes saying the Human Rights Watch report says that nearly half had no criminal history at all
Here's the rest of Bari Weiss' memo. "We do not present the administration's argument for why it sent 252 Venezuelans to CECOT," and on Sec. Noem's trip "no comment from her or her staff about what her goal on that trip was... or if she had or has concerns about the treatment of detainees." LOL!

Q… I found your pedophiles!
A Dallas limo driver said he wanted to pull over and beat the shit out of Donald Trump because of the sick things he was saying on his cell phone.

And a girl in Dallas said Epstein abd Trump raped her in a hotel. She was later found with her head blown off. 😡

What is described here is systemic, incessant torture. CECOT is a torture prison that Trump has publicly praised. Weiss didn't want us to see it.

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

Horrific mass shooting at Brown. Thinking of the victims and their families.

We simply do not have to live this way.

The failure to pass gun safety legislation is a moral stain & innocent Americans pay the price time and again.

Every American is responsible for this. Speak up/act, or be complicit.

My actions:
-consistently post on social media when relevant
-directly confront anyone in-person when the opportunity presents
-go on record with those who know me with a statement on where I stand, and why they must also.
Remarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout. Trump and Stephen Miller were testing their ability to spread lawless state terror. But the court held the line. 1/

Judge Paula Xinis’s ruling temporarily freed Kilmar Abrego Garcia from custody. It also savagely indicted Trump’s lawless handling of this whole affair from start to finish.

Never forget Donald Trump lied about a stolen election, incited a mob to attack the US Capitol and massacre Congress and the VP and then pardoned all the traitors.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra said DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

Follow up: it doesn’t say it’s illegal to fire on incapacitated shipwrecked. It just says it’s illegal to fire on the shipwrecked. Where’d you get “incapacitated” and why are you such an asshole?
Q: "The Pentagon's Law of War manual…says 'Orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal.' Given that, how was that follow up strike on the two survivors legal?"

Tom Cotton: "They were not incapacitated… They were sitting or standing on top of a capsized boat."

That's the part that sticks with me.

This isn't some Tom Clancy novel where they do war crimes because it's the only way they can get at the evil terrorist criminal mastermind or something.

Even if we believe them -- and, ha ha, no! -- they murdered low level drug runners. That's it!
this is just murder, and pointless murder at that.

"...if placing “live bombs” is qualitatively different from other Jan. 6 crimes, why did the Trump administration dismiss charges against Daniel Ball — who set off an explosive device in a Capitol tunnel during a fierce battle between pro-Trump rioters and law enforcement officers?"
Following an arrest in the pipe-bombs case, the White House rejected questions about the parallels between this case and Trump’s Jan. 6 pardons.

But the closer one looks, the more legitimate this line of inquiry appears. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

With a suspect in custody, Team Trump was reluctant to talk about the president’s pardons for others convicted for violent Jan. 6 crimes.

Tom nails it.
Posting stupid memes after being accused of murder is the response of a sneering, spoiled punk who has been caught doing wrong and is now daring the local fuzz to take him in and risk the anger of his rich dad—a role fulfilled by Donald Trump, in this case.
