Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who noticed that, while even MILLI VANILLI bailed on trump's birthday, EVERYONE showed up for President Obama, including all the living Presidents, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Common, Eddie Vedder, Tom Hanks, Stephen Spielberg...

People showed up for the REAL ones.

Michael Steele: "This is a moment that can be about the country. And I think a lot of people are looking at it that way."🙏💪

Stephen Miller wants to suspend Habeas Corpus & deport 106 million illegals except those are around the exact number of black people & Latinos in this Country legally which makes it sound like he only wants Whites here in the U.S. There may end up being an investigation into it.

Hey c’mon guys, don’t be so hard on the octogenarian.

He may not be able to clasp a Medal of Honor around a veteran’s neck, but at least he can open a box…

…Jesus Christ, scratch that.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

Will you ever forgive her ?

This is the son of a former Republican state senator and friend of Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Sarah campaigned for his failed Senate run earlier this year.

He’s now accused of sexual misconduct involving minors.

Other than Trump, there is not a sleazier piece of shit than Howard Lutnick.

New concerns are emerging about President Trump’s sweeping pardon of Jan. 6 defendants after a report found that nearly 100 of them have been arrested, charged or convicted of additional crimes since the attack in 2021.

It comes as continuing efforts by Trump and his allies to recast the events of that day have reignited debate over accountability and the rule of law.

@ElizLanders has more.

MAGA pedophiles have infiltrated our justice system.

🚨 Republican Mayor Jack Tompkins has been caught making sexual advances on a 16-year-old girl.

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth’s crusade to purge women and people of color from our Armed Forces has never been subtle.

But today, a New York Times exposé revealed exactly how far he’s gone to dismantle the careers and achievements of our finest servicemen and women.

More than a dozen military insiders — both active duty and those already purged — spoke to the Times anonymously to unmask a horrific ongoing attack.

They detailed a process used by Hegseth and his team to halt senior officer advancements for reasons completely unrelated to merit, job performance, or fighting wars.

Hegseth’s efforts are part of a quest to advance his white-and-male centered worldview, facts, history, and actual service be damned.

In the absence of any such evidence, insiders confirmed that he has used his position to withhold promotions from qualified, decorated veterans. The Times cited several enraging examples:

• Last fall, Hegseth ordered Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll to remove two Black and two female officers from a 29-person promotion list. Driscoll repeatedly refused, citing their decades of exemplary service. In March, Hegseth bypassed him, removed their names, and sent the modified list to the White House.

• In total, Hegseth has removed 32 officers from Air Force and Navy one- and two-star promotion lists. He also pulled the only Black officer and the only female officer from a Marine Corps list, leaving their promotions in limbo.

• Vice Adm. Sara Joyner, a highly decorated three-star fighter pilot, saw her advancement stalled over a 2021 Navy recruiting ad where she said, "I’m not just a girl with a dream. I’m a sailor with one." Hegseth deemed the line a "big problem." Joyner has since retired.

• Rear Adm. Stephen D. Barnett was recommended for a promotion after successfully managing the aftermath of a massive Navy fuel spill in Hawaii. Hegseth blocked his advancement after Barnett participated in a Navy-sponsored Pride event back in 2018.

It is an outrage to watch a media personality whose greatest battles have been with hangovers intentionally harm the careers of people who risked everything to keep America safe. Hegseth’s actions are insult to all who have served and a risk to national security.

While the loathsome piece of shit was enriching himself, he did this to lower the taxes of his fellow Epstein class billionaires.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

He's worthless. He can't even latch the Medal of Honor because he's too fucking stupid so he ties it like a shoelace, like the moron he is. Beyond cringe.

[REPUBLICANS AGAINST MAGA @michaelt5656]

The military are in close contact with each other. It doesn’t take a genius to understand the importance of vaccination. The incompetence of this administration is staggering.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

Every woman that will be voting in the Midterms needs to do their research before voting because there’s a lot Republicans don’t want you to remember!

[Acyn @Acyn]

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky: When you have somebody like Todd Blanche at the helm of the DOJ, it’s hugely problematic. He has the president’s best interests at heart. He does not have the American people’s best interests at heart. He’s proven that. He’s so unfit to be the acting attorney general of our country, words fail me.

[Phil Williams @PhilNvestigates]

BREAKING: Veteran Millersville (Tennessee) City Commissioner David Gregory has resigned - a day after being arrested on charges of having sexually abused multiple children over a period of 39 years.

[Not Your Average Liberal @NotAvgLiberal]

Just a reminder -

This asshole was never shot.

He started a war to deflect from the fact he raped children.

His wife is a former prostitute who fucked Jeffrey Epstein.

Happy Friday.
