🚫Imbeciles, Seditionists🚫 People think that you're difficult to deal with, just because you're not easy to fool.
@GOP__Ls Pardon 1 criminal..it’s a story.
Pardon 2, 3, 4, 5… criminals and it’s a story
Pardons thousands of criminals, daily, and the story won’t ever catch up
He’s too criminal to be tied to a specific crime
@g_e_r_m_a_n_o@GOP__Ls@mrspcarroll This level of corruption is impossible without complicity of the entire Republican Party, from elected Reps & Senators who refuse to stop Trump, who did not convict him when they had 2 chances & continue to protect him, to the corrupt MAGA-SCOTUS, & every one of their voters.
@GOP__Ls@mrspcarroll The President’s power to pardon someone was given with the expectation that a President could right a wrong. Our founders did not predict this level of corruption.
Pete Hegseth has never been fit to run the Pentagon. This week proves it again.
He just blocked nine Navy officers from promotions they earned. A board of senior admirals picked them on merit.
Three are women.
Two are Black men.
The result is a 22-person admiral list with zero women, in a Navy that’s 21% women and 38% sailors of color.
Pentagon rules are clear. A Secretary can only pull an officer for serious failings of character, conduct, or competence. These officers had none. Their crime?
Attending a diversity event years ago. One was flagged for recruitment outreach she did TWENTY YEARS AGO.
Nearly 60% of the senior officers Hegseth has fired are women or Black.
He purged a chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
He pushed out the first woman ever to lead the Navy.
And he won’t explain himself. Not to Democrats. Not even to Republicans.
Then he reportedly tried to muscle his own aide onto the list. A guy who didn’t even qualify.
So let’s be honest about what this is.
He isn’t raising the bar. He’s rigging it.
He isn’t picking the best. He’s picking his own. Every officer who serves with honor now has to wonder if merit even matters anymore.
This man should never have been confirmed. He should not be Secretary of anything. He is gutting the finest military on earth to fight a culture war. Our service members will pay for it. So will our security.
He should resign in disgrace. https://t.co/PMUJ3UtrCW
Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:
“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.
Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.
Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”
Oh for F’s sake! It’s insurance! Healthy people don’t need it…UNTIL THEY DO! That doesn’t make them not legit. These goons have never lived in the real world.
Washington Post: Elias Irizarry, a convicted Jan. 6 rioter, has been hired by the Trump administration to work in a Pentagon office that oversees highly classified military operations, according to four people familiar with the matter.
The hire has raised alarm among staff, who question how someone convicted of taking part in the assault on American democracy could be trusted with such a sensitive role in the U.S. government.
