@Andie00471 President Biden stood on the platform at the Capitol in ‘21 that had just been attacked by violent Trump terrorists weeks before! His life was in danger! Every democrat on that platform’s life was in danger! The cops protecting them were in danger!
Trump is not in danger! BS!

@Matthewtravis08 A LOT of STOLEN VALOR in today's use of the title "Patriot". 😔 So demeaning to true service members.
Thank you to YOU, your brother, and your father, for your service & ALL that that service entailed!

@J_M_Riddle @JasmineForUS That's basically what the hill has said, so how is she sabotaging anything. The thing sounds like an organizational disaster and Democrats are not in charge of it. There's going to be a bunch of magats stranded in the capital by Trump.

1/Could we possibly have "Saturday Night Massacre II?" THIS was filed sometime on Saturday and appears to be Section 3 of the 14th Amendment which would disqualify Trump from being President if it is correct:

Fucking HILARIOUS that these hypocritical Christian Senators have so much forgiveness in their souls for Pete Hegseth abusing women and cheating on his wives but they couldn't find any grace for private citizen Hunter Biden, who isn't running for anything.

Give me a fucking break.

Hegseth would command a sprawling bureaucracy of millions, a budget in the hundreds of billions, but he's not supposed to be subjected to questions on his character???

[mindy @mindy0739365693]

Pete Hegseth is a hypocrite. I do not practice Christianity for this very reason. Too many hypocrites. But that is not why I oppose Hegseth although it is part of it.

I oppose Hegseth bc he is too inexperienced.
Furthermore, Hegseth is too young & thus lacks the judgment required in such a crucial role. He is not seasoned enough.

Moreover, he is untrustworthy given his choices to have extramarital affairs. Understand, I do not give a damn about his love life, I am concerned about his judgement.

Putting someone in office who lacks the judgement skills & whose fealty is to DT not the US Constitution & America means the likelihood of Hegseth making huge costly blunders is high, very high.

Although, I watched for only a very short time, Hegseth has that look on his face that he believes he is pulling the wool over the Senators' eyes. There was no sense of authenticity, but more like he was on stage auditioning for the part. He is not a very convincing actor.

That is what gave him away. IMHO But it does not matter anyhow, bc Hegseth has been confirmed anyhow.

@mbogue @Leah742 @fred_guttenberg And to NAME-DROP his 7yr old is disgusting! Imagine, "Mommie, Daddy just said my name at his meeting on TV! Why were they talking about me?they didnt sound happy & then Daddy said my name... What was he saying about me?"

@RRonwfox @jessdrkn @fred_guttenberg That's not the tattoo that was the subject of his deletion from the Biden inauguration.

Statement on National Security Staff Firings

Yesterday, President Trump’s National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz @michaelgwaltz , announced a sweeping directive to terminate all national security staffers loaned from other departments and agencies who serve in apolitical, non-partisan senior staff roles. Waltz framed this decision as a means to eliminate Biden-era appointees and enforce absolute alignment with Trump’s policy agenda. Notably, Waltz justified this move by referencing my role in exposing Trump’s abuse of power, which led to his first impeachment. Using my actions as a rationale, Waltz aims to purge scores of professionals from the Department of Defense, Department of State, CIA, and other agencies—not because of their conduct, but due to a demand for blind allegiance to Trump. This approach sends a stark and troubling message: in a second Trump administration, only political loyalists will be permitted to serve on the NSC.

To set the record straight, I served as an apolitical detailee and a faithful Army officer implementing President Trump’s national security agenda, as outlined in the National Security Strategy he approved. My actions did not conflict with Trump’s stated national security policy. My reporting of corruption—my refusal to remain silent as Trump engaged in criminal activity, undermined free and fair elections by pressuring Ukraine to investigate his political rival, Joe Biden, to steal the 2020 election—and my refusal to betray my oath to the U.S. Constitution are why I was fired. These are the same reasons professional staff are about to be purged, and apolitical staff will be barred from the NSC.

On the surface, it is reasonable for a president to seek a loyal and trusted teams faithful to their agenda. However, absolute loyalty should not be the exclusive qualification, overriding competence, experience, and fidelity to a constitutional oath. An NSC staffed with “team members who are 100% aligned with the president’s agenda” will not only diminish the NSC’s capabilities but also erode continuity in policy. Worse, it will create an environment where dissenting views, even those grounded in experience and ethical responsibility, are stifled.

The so-called “Vindman Rule” sets a dangerous precedent by ensuring that only political loyalists can serve on the NSC, advise the president, and interact with the president and top decision-makers. Such an approach will have a chilling effect on senior policy staff across the government. Talented professionals, wary of being dismissed for principled stances or offering objective advice, will either self-censor or forgo service altogether. This undermines the very purpose of the NSC: to provide the president with the best possible advice as well as the coordinating team to advance U.S. national security interests.

The implications of this loyalty-above-competence model are dire. By purging the NSC of apolitical, experienced professionals, Trump and Waltz are hollowing out the institutional expertise required to navigate complex global challenges. This will create a policy apparatus incapable of discerning sound policies from reckless impulses—or worse, one that actively disregards legal and ethical obligations to implement Trump’s personal whims. Consider the implications: Would Department of Defense detailees still counsel against invading Greenland or Canada or feed those foolhardy thoughts to curry favor? Would FBI detailees agree to engage in political reprisals against Trump’s enemies to serve in the NSC? These are not far-fetched concerns but real dangers inherent in the precedent Waltz establishes.

This announcement also presages broader plans by the Trump administration to fire tens of thousands of senior apolitical government officials and replace them with Trump loyalists. By prioritizing loyalty above all else, the Trump administration will significantly undermine the foundations of good governance, jeopardize U.S. national security, and weaken U.S. democracy.

Kalief Browder - sent to Rikers Island as a teenager for allegedly stealing a backpack to await trial with no Bond.

Three years in prison being abused awaiting trial for something he never did.

Two of those years in solitary confinement, but by all means tell me how the convicted felon has been treated unfairly when he has faced ZERO accountability for:

Failing to return top secret documents.

For inciting an insurrection against the government.

For paying hush money.

Not to mention all the insurance and bank fraud.

On top of that, the SC awarded him with immunity.

White and wealth privilege.

“Well done, my good and faithful servant”… are the first words that came to my mind when hearing of the passing of President Carter. He & his bride committed their lives to service in the most selfless way.

Let us all honor his legacy by doing our part to serve our country & our community.
