@NancyMace Wtf do you mean “no fault of his own”?!

Are you giving the Nuremberg defense for the fucking Secretary of War? He was just following orders?

He lied the country into a war that handed the congress to the democrats!

Stop running cover for war criminals.

IMPEACHMENT, Article III

The law requires our military to withdraw from hostilities within 60 days if Congress does not authorize the activity.

Operation Epic Fury has been underway for 256 days. Congress has not authorized it.

Hegseth is breaking the law.

Not even debatable.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."

He exposed Israel's nuclear weapons. Israel kidnapped him and locked him in solitary confinement for 11 years.

On December 21, 1986, a prisoner pressed his hand against the window of an Israeli police van.

Written across his palm were the words:

"Vanunu M. was hijacked in Rome."

His name was Mordechai Vanunu. And this was his extraordinary attempt to tell the world what had happened to him.

For almost ten years, Vanunu had worked at Israel's secretive nuclear facility near Dimona, processing materials used to manufacture nuclear weapons.

Israel had never publicly admitted possessing nuclear weapons.

Vanunu decided the world had a right to know.

Before leaving his job in 1985, he secretly photographed restricted areas of the facility.

In September 1986, he provided his evidence to Britain's Sunday Times.

Nuclear experts examining the material concluded that Israel possessed a sophisticated nuclear weapons programme. Contemporary estimates suggested an arsenal of 100 to 200 warheads.

But before the newspaper could publish its investigation, Vanunu disappeared.

A woman calling herself Cindy had befriended him in London and persuaded him to accompany her to Rome.

She was working for Mossad.

On September 30, 1986, Israeli agents abducted Vanunu in Italy, drugged him and secretly transported him to Israel.

The Sunday Times published its revelations on October 5.

Vanunu was already in Israeli custody.

When he eventually managed to communicate his kidnapping through the police van window, the authorities responded by painting the windows white before his next court appearance.

In 1988, following a secret trial, he was sentenced to 18 years in prison for espionage and treason.

He spent approximately 11 of those years in solitary confinement.

Eleven years.

Amnesty International condemned his prolonged isolation as cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.

On April 21, 2004, Vanunu finally walked out of prison.

But Israel immediately imposed restrictions on his movements, foreign travel and contact with foreigners.

He had served his entire sentence. Yet the punishment continued.

Israeli authorities argued that he might still reveal classified information. Vanunu maintained that he had already disclosed everything he knew.

Four decades after his abduction, he was still being prevented from leaving Israel.

Consider the extraordinary contradiction.

Israel refuses to officially acknowledge its nuclear arsenal, even as the international community widely accepts its existence.

The man who helped establish that reality has spent much of his life imprisoned or deprived of basic freedoms.

Mordechai Vanunu exposed nuclear weapons.

He also exposed how far a government was prepared to go to protect its secrets.

Note that Israel has developed the Samson option. Remember Samson? He tore down the temple killing himself, but also everyone else.

Well, if things ever go a little too much against little Israel, it has promised to nuke the entire world. Cause Israel could be overrun, but its nuclear subs would still be around.

Don't give us too much trouble or we nuke the entire world.

Blackmail doesn't come in a bigger shape than that.

Mushroom clouds everywhere.

My friend Ayako has translated American movies and TV shows into Japanese subtitles for 22 years.

Above her desk, taped to the wall, is a handwritten list.

"American sentences that do not exist in Japanese."

She let me copy it.

1. "I'm good."
Means yes. Means no. Means I'm full, I'm fine, I'm leaving, and please stop asking. She has translated it 31 different ways. She thinks she was right about half the time.

2. "Bless your heart."
She translated it as a blessing for six years. Then a woman from Alabama explained it to her, very sweetly. She had to go back and fix four movies.

3. "Hold my beer."
Japanese has no phrase for the moment right before a man does something stupid for a cheering crowd. She subtitled it "Someone please call an ambulance." Nobody has ever complained.

4. "Love you, bye."
American men say this to their fathers. On the phone. Fast. Like "see you later." In Japanese, "I love you" to your father is a deathbed sentence. The first time she subtitled it, the whole Japanese audience thought the father was dying.

He was asking about the Cowboys game.

5. "Come here."
An American sees someone crying, says two words, and opens his arms. In Japan, we ask "Are you okay?" and look very carefully at the floor.

6. "Proud of you, kid."
Japanese has the words. Japanese fathers just don't use them. Ayako has typed this line more than 400 times. She had heard it in her own house zero times.

Her father is 78. A retired machinist. The quietest man I know. He speaks maybe ten words of English.

Last spring, he went to see a movie she had translated. Alone. He didn't tell anyone.

That night, her phone rang.

He said it in English. Exactly the way the American dad said it on the screen.

"Proud of you, kid."

Then he hung up. Immediately. Before she could say a word.

Japanese fathers have not changed that much.

She sat on her kitchen floor for an hour.

He didn't say it in English because he forgot the Japanese.

He said it in English because in English, it was allowed.

America, you think you're just talking. Love you, bye. Come here. Proud of you.

You've been handing the whole world words we didn't know we were allowed to say.

Some of us are finally using them.

Calling Americans lazy, entitled, spoiled, racist, "woke reich", and "pannicans" didn't work.

Tucker Carlson, Thomas Massie, Joe Kent, Megyn Kelly and everyone else who opposed the idiotic, disastrous war of choice in Iran were right.

The people who demonized them for their principled opposition deserve to be ruled by Democrats. But the rest of us don’t.

[shoe @shoe0nhead]

the republicans were handed the country on a silver platter for the first time in a long time culturally & politically and basically did nothing with it except bomb iran. historical fumble.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

The conservatives who said:

1) The war in Iran is catastrophically stupid

2) Affordability is a real problem

3) America First

Were exactly right on every point.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

The Iran War is the greatest political blunder in the last two decades at least. A catastrophically stupid decision. An unforgivable betrayal of America First principles.

[Ana Kasparian @AnaKasparian]

Here's the real reason Trump announced that we're "cutting aid to Israel":

They plan is to effectively merge the IDF with our military through a provision in the NDAA, allowing the Israelis to help themselves on what we pay for without any of us knowing about it. We pay, they take advantage.

This has the additional downside of our "ally," which loves to spy on us, to do even more of it.

They think you're stupid.. Don't fall of it. We need to decouple from Israel and not play these games.

Putin Releases Satellite Footage Proving Florida LearJet Crash Was 'Hacked' By Israel

Putin says it's time to wake up. America is under attack. And the enemy, he says, is already inside the Pentagon and the CIA.

Russian intelligence has verified that Israel remotely took control of the Florida LearJet on Sunday, which was flown like a missile toward its target… and designed to deliver a message to the US president on the eve of the midterms.
