@AnnevanLeur @CatintheHome @ZephyrNCC17011 Jesus Christ, love to hear the Magats tell us how this was worth it. $10 million so he can be booed and take a nap?

@hilde_angel This is shameful. Even more shameful that it was expected. I'm so sorry to everyone who was treated with such contempt in the our name.

[LAS @LauraSMark]

@bennyjohnson The only one humiliated is the United States of America. Again.

@AndyKimNJ Kero figjting the good fight, please. Don't let these bootlicking maga cultists deter you in any way.

[LAS @LauraSMark]

@Microinteracti1 I mean, are they too afraid to give him a polite little nudge? And has he given them reason to fear something as simple as giving him a polite little nudge? Has it really come to this?

@TeresacaresUSA @KimBledsoe14 @Amy_Siskind @ScottyInThe845 The GOP elected leaders. You cannot play "both sides" with this.

@SenatorAndyKim Thank you, Senator. I'm sorry you are being bombarded by these hateful, cowardly, and
vicious bots. You are on the right side of history. Please stay strong!

@DorfnerA Reading through the MAGA posts here, it's like Alabama 1965. And we know what side of the bridge they were on. The bloodlust and hatred from them is horrific.

[LAS @LauraSMark]

@CheriFromNJ @FrankPallone @DHSgov Disagree. Our fathers and grandfathers didn't fight the Nazis for this to be happening in the United States of America. This is honoring the service of those who sacrificed their lives and is EXACTLY what patriotic Americans should be doing on Memorial Day

[LAS @LauraSMark]

Amen!

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

@Emolclause Thank you, @RepRoKhanna for speaking truth! Our soldiers didn't volunteer to die for a foreign power. What happened to America first?

BREAKING: SOUNDS OF SILENCE — Senate hearing goes deadly quiet as Trump’s federal judicial nominees REFUSE to admit third term is illegal.
.
Donald Trump is nominating people to lifetime federal judgeships who won't confirm that he can't run for a third term when they come before the Senate for their approval hearings.

Let that sink in.

Senator Chris Coons of Delaware asked what should be the easiest constitutional law question in American history at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week. He asked Trump's judicial nominees about the 22nd Amendment.

The first nominee, John Marck, said that his career had been in criminal prosecution and that he hadn't had occasion to use that particular amendment.

A federal judicial nominee. Unfamiliar with the 22nd Amendment. Seeking a lifetime appointment to interpret the Constitution.

Another candidate eventually offered that it "deals with the two-term limitation." Correct. Gold star.

Coons then asked the simple follow-up: is President Trump eligible to run for president again in 2028?

Marck's response was a masterpiece of evasion: "Without considering all the facts and looking at everything, depending on what the situation is, this to me strikes as more of a hypothetical."

Coons was patient. He walked Marck through it like a kindergarten teacher explaining why you can't eat paste. Has Trump been elected president twice? "President Trump has been certified the President of the United States two times." Is he eligible to run for a third term? "I would have to review the actual wording of it."

A man seeking a lifetime federal judgeship needs to review the actual wording. Of the 22nd Amendment. Which is 61 words long.

Coons then turned to the full panel and asked if anyone — anyone — was willing to simply state that the Constitution of the United States bars Trump from seeking a third term.

A heartbreakingly long silence ensued.

He asked again. Anyone willing to apply the Constitution by its plain language?

More ominous silence.

Nobody. Not one of Trump's judicial nominees would say out loud, under oath, in a Senate hearing, that the 22nd Amendment means what it plainly says.

This isn't ignorance. These are lawyers. They know what the 22nd Amendment says. They know Trump has been talking openly about a third term. And they calculated — correctly, based on what happens to people who cross this president — that telling the constitutional truth was more dangerous than staying silent.

The frightening thing is that these are the people who will be interpreting your rights for the next 30 years.

Please like and share this post if you think federal judges should be willing to say the Constitution means what it says — even when the president doesn't want to hear it.

If there was one single line of inquiry in last weeks oversight hearings on the Iran War this was it from Rep Adam Smith.

His entire line of questioning was absolutely on the money, but this particular clip exposes the complete lack of preparedness other than to drop thousands of tons of ordinance, on the assumption that the worlds top exponent of asymmetric warfare would fold.

Hegseth’s inability to grasp the very basics of armed conflict is frankly astounding. Time after time the US military has faced an insurgent enemy and come up short EVERY TIME.

If war was a competition for who can blow the most money and drop the most bombs, the U.S. would be world champions, but it’s not. Arrogance and hubris don’t win wars. Strategic planning and anticipation of events win wars.

Alienating allies then assuming they will join a failed war is beyond arrogant. As pointed out by Rep Smith NATO is a defensive alliance, not a supporting actor for a US extortion attempt.

Trump has decided now to draw down 5000 US troops from Germany as punishment for criticism of this failed war. This does NOT remove protection from Europe, it merely reduces US force projection in the region limiting global reach for Middle East operations.

@jasonllevin There are several absolutely vile and disgusting people commenting here. Perhaps they can answer you. Miss you so much, @BarackObama.

[LAS @LauraSMark]

@SenWhitehouse The magats are gutting all our institutions, rules, laws and traditions that protected our democracy. They don't care because they are planning to make Amerkca a de factor dictatorship and are too blind and stupid to understand how this will destroy them, too.

[LAS @LauraSMark]

@YourAnonNews All the trolls spewing their bile here and not a single one has addressed the corruption and glaring conflict of interest on display. Why did the administration choose that exact moment to issue an EP to increase the production of glyphosate? Can any of the magats explain that?

[LAS @LauraSMark]

@GovernorVA God damn, the magats are spitting 🔥 and you love to see it!'You keep going, Governor. You're doing great!
