Iβm sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.
This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.
In a savvy move, Trump undoes sanctions on Russia after Russia helps Iran target Americans.
The Kurds absolutely should not trust Trump (or, if we're being painfully honest, the US Gov). There are no quick exit ramps from this mess we have made.
Reuters Exclusive
"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the βMiddle East."
It's these Gulf nations that are being bombed for our hubris and the WH seemingly endorses the idea that Israel should conquer them anyway, so I can totally understand them backing away from us.
I will miss Kristi Noem's inimitable constitutional insights, as when, asked by Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H. at a Senate hearing to define "habeas corpus," she replied, "Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."
I will never understand how so many people fell for the absurd notion that Kamala Harris would start unnecessary wars, while Trump is power drunk and acting like Tony Montana at the end of Scarface.
I'm an Evangelical Christian and I recoil in horror at this nonsense.
I especially am revolted by it coming out of Hegseth's mouth, who has made no secret of his insatiable bloodlust.
Tuberville.
Can't wait to see all the takes about how Trump has finally realized the gravity of the job and is now pivoting to a kinder, gentler Trump.
Major shake-up in the Trump administration: With the ouster of Noem, some are saying Trump is signaling a new tone going forward.
Alexa, what are the Laws of Supply and Demand?
But Stephen, it has been the stated policy of this administration to not be "politically correct" with such PC things as human rights.
Will Trump be able to prove Iranian citizenship?
The administrations "war on fraud" is the real fraud. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/vance-war-...
Nah, definitely another portfolio for Marco Rubio.
As an ex-Republican who remembers the disastrous campaigns of Christine O'Donnell and Todd Akin, I am naturally inclined to favor making the race as easy as possible by avoiding nominating idiots.
He demanded that she send him nude pictures and bullied her into a relationship. This is called sexual harassment. It was not βan affairβ. RESIGN NOW.
In the world of Miller/Hegseth/Trump, any military that ever followed the rules of war would be fighting "politically correct."
Another way to look at it is this: we held Nazi Germany to higher standards than we are now holding ourselves.
Hint: it has nothing to do with wanting the most democratic outcome.
Ah, great. I'm sure that the guy whose father we killed will be very interested in negotiating about stuff.
Well done, everyone.
Jay Jones only won because of Abigail Spanberger's coattails. He finished 9 points behind her.
lose what should be the easiest pickup this cycle b/c the Dems nominated the wrong candidate.
If that scenario happened, the Senate would be 50-50 w/ JD Vance breaking all ties, meaning that Clarence Thomas likely retires & Trump names his replacement.
It'd be nice to do a clean sweep of all 5.
RE: Maine, I know that one poll indicated mammoth leads for Platner, but I am skeptical. That screams outlier to me.
The Nazi tattoo issue is not going to go away, and it could very well cost the Dems a winnable seat & see Susan Collins survive again.
It would suck to win NC, OH, & AK, only to
I don't think Jon Ossof loses Georgia, and I think the Dems should hold Michigan fairly easily, especially if Mallory McMorrow wins the nomination.
The GOP is spread as thin as possible on this map.
The Senate seats I think are most likely to flip this year:
-North Carolina (they can't gerrymander the Senate seat)
-Maine (if the Dems don't nominate Platner)
-Alaska (Mary Peltola FTW!)
-Ohio (Sherrod Brown's comeback story)
-Texas (if Talarico faces Paxton)
Dave Wasserman says heβs βseen enoughβ and says James Talarico has beaten Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett in the Texas US Senate primary.
Live look at the Texas Republican Party.
Cornyn & Paxton have already had the most expensive primary ever - and that was just round 1.
