Did killing the school girls make it into the WH’s super rad Call of Duty promo with kill streak animation and the ability to launch a nuclear arsenal. "Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue”?

But you’re overlooking how well the ballroom is going, the successful war on school girls in Iran, the transparency and pursuit of truth in the Epstein files, and how well our president and girl-dad in Chief is doing personally in the crooked crypto game and his pardon business side hustles.

The Feres doctrine-abuse of “incident to service” is a miscarriage of justice for US servicemembers.
But we can spend $2 billion a day on an illegal war that has already gotten servicemembers killed and wounded.

To truly honor the men and women who serve means we honor and respect the United States Constitution, and had this administration done that those 6 servicemembers would be alive.
A bipartisan coalition is raising the alarm on the Trump administration's threats to penalize Anthropic for declining to remove safeguards against mass domestic surveillance, and points to the public’s wide support for such safeguards. We're proud to support the coalition:
America is now regarded a cruel, corrupt, unhinged empty-headed, empty-hearted thug. Congressional coward, “leader” cowards of all walks, have allowed…are allowing one man to do this; he sold a snake oil of “great again” and if unchecked the criminal-grifter he is will leave us with nothing.
Whatever good will and trust the United States had earned over generations, whatever “moral high ground” we may have achieved with countless acts of honor, integrity and ultimate sacrifices made by those laid to rest at sites like Arlington—all of that has been disgraced and shredded by one man.
Asked earlier today whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump said:
“I guess.”
“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”
He can’t even pretend to give a single fuck about human life. Truly a conscienceless sociopath.
Pretty sure that one day this guy is gonna need a lawyer.
Pete Hegseth is not "a former member of the press at Fox," as MS NOW just said.
Fox News is not journalism. It's anti-journalism. It makes people less informed than they were before.
Hegseth is a former fascist propagandist who has moved on to become a war criminal.
You would think this would have been a big story over the last decade; that journalism outlets would have featured mental health experts with courage enough to speak out despite the Goldwater Rule. But nope. And still…nope. The American people have no idea.
“It actually gives him enormous pleasure to hurt people and to destroy things.”
Founder of Duty to Warn, mental health professionals who have been trying to sound the alarm about the specifics of Trump’s incredibly dangerous mental instability.
"Nobody should die from a toothache. … Something has to be done."
This is how you do it.
We recently sued DHS for attempting to silence and intimidate Maine residents. But this case isn’t just about Maine — the agency's actions are part of a national playbook to unlawfully retaliate against those who dare to document abuses by the federal government.

This was cool and all, but Tillis chose to vote *not guilty* in both impeachments of Trump. His press release-statement for why in the second one reads like a guy trying to cast himself as taking the high road while rationalizing away doing the right thing. Had Trump been convicted…
That Talarico speech was among the very best I’ve heard in my lifetime.
This Talarico cat is laying it OUT, calling it OUT…and with “fierce love,” in his acceptance speech. More of this. More. Of. This.
Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop?

The most disgusting combination of self-enrichment and failed management in the history of the entertainment business. deadline.com/2026/03/davi...
This a moment where the vast majority of humans who are unfamiliar with antisocial personality disorders, who have long failed to appreciate just how dark his Dark Triad is and just how malevolent he is and…will get…it’s gonna be something.
And here we are exactly.
The hubris, malignant narcissism and sociopathy is fucking exhausting. Like, it’s reached the point where smug is what passes for “nice.”
In October 2023 and again in late 2024, former WH Chief of Staff John Kelly—a retired four-star Marine general—confirmed accounts of Trump describing service members shot down, wounded, or captured in combat as "suckers" and “losers” because "there is nothing in it for them.”
This would be funny if it weren’t a member of Congress and we haven’t been hearing this kind of idiocy for a decade and this kind of idiocy and cowardice hadn’t just started a war on Iran.
What would a Trump presidency look like?
Rubio on Trump 10 years ago.
What’s changed?
