It's really sad because if we had elected a normal president, the 250th anniversary of our country would have been a really cool celebration of everything that makes this country great.
Instead, we get one miserable, unpopular asshole inserting himself into every little thing and making it about himself.
And it was entirely predictable if you had a pulse the past 10 years. Oh well...
These jackasses speak with such authority while getting the basics wrong.
McChrystal was never in Delta. Having never served in SOF or the GWOT, Kurt probably thinks certain terms are interchangeable.
Also, there was a pretty clear reason why McChrystal was removed- something McChrystal himself said needed to happen
You are 100% right Senator Tillis. So why did you vote to confirm Hegseth? And Bondi. And Gabbard. And RFK. And Noem.
And why did you vote to acquit on J6?
You own 100% of this Trump disaster, and if you had a change of heart then repent and publicly denounce Trump and MAGA.
From the Navy SEAL officer who planned and executed the Bin Laden raid: “In recent months, President Trump, upon advice from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, has relieved or forced the retirement of some of the finest officers that have ever served this nation. I have personally worked with most of them in combat….And this week, in an egregious decision, the president forced General Chris Donahue to step down from his position in command of U.S. Army Europe. Donahue is without question one of the most brilliant officers I know. He is strategically focused, tactically aggressive, personally courageous, exceptionally thoughtful in his planning and execution, and compassionate with his troops. He has the respect of every man and woman who ever served with him—and you can put me at the top of that list.”
sometimes i think i shoulda done a full 20+ in the Army cuz i’d be retired by now and i was really good at it.
then i’ll see a clip like this and go “oh yeah, there are like 20 of these infallible idiots for every one of me and my fellow non-idiot NCOs.”
Q: "Russia accusing US of failing to deliver on agreements reached in Alaska."
Rubio: "There was no agreement in Alaska. There was proposal made in Alaska, but there was no agreement in Alaska."
I suspect there was dirty deal struck in Alaska. But, neither side could deliver: Trump couldn’t force Ukraine to surrender, and Putin couldn’t win on the battlefield.
Now, with Ukraine standing strong and gaining the upper hand against Russia, Trump is simply jumping off a sinking ship.
He's vice-signaling, he's telling his supporters that he will cheat and lie and steal on their behalf and will permit them to do the same.
Politicians used to signal virtue, now they just signal vice. They signal how much they'll hurt the other side.
echoing 2016, Ted’s 2028 strategy is to draft alongside the cancer until the choice is between him and the cancer and then the cancer will call his wife ugly and Ted will have no choice but to grovel at the feet of the cancer after finishing a distant runner up to the cancer.
Ted Cruz: "We are seeing a cancer on the right. It is rising antisemitism ... here's the scary thing: I've seen more antisemitism on the right over the last 18 months than any time in my life. And it's spreading like a cancer. Tucker Carlson is the most dangerous demagogue in America."
JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."
The GRU operative—a member of Unit 29155, no less—who invented the Ukraine biolabs nonsense celebrated the day Gabbard pushed it. (Receipts in the link.) The IC was aware of the origin of this conspiracy theory, which makes Gabbard’s promotion of it as one of her valedictory moves upon leaving the IC all the more scandalous. Finally, people casually conflate recruited agent with agent of influence. The Russians do not. The latter category is more encompassing for a reason. And being in a batshit cult does not foreclose on the possibility of being manipulated by foreign intelligence; if anything, it makes one more susceptible. https://t.co/KDx13LkDw6
oh cool, Brian the rube whisperer has brought a thimble of water to the 5-alarm fire he helped ignite and stoke.
thanks, Brian. now you can return to your regularly scheduled bootlicking and turd polishing. 🫡
Huge loss for our country…like losing Tom Brady in prime of career!! Hegseth Cuts Army Commander’s Storied Career Short as Part of Broader Shake-Up https://t.co/8HyhJ1UR0S
Looks like the Russian fuel crisis will get worse. Drone-induced rapid oxidation of hydrocarbons with the release of thermal energy at the Ufa refinery, some 1,500 km from Ukraine, about an hour ago.
Clearly Lukashenka didn't disable the Russian drone relay stations in Belarus out of the kindness of his heart, he did it because Ukraine's military strength in 2026 is sufficient to compel him to do so.
A significant shift in the regional balance of power.
Glenn insisted that Trump was the anti-war candidate (lol), and still insists that the war criminals who invaded their peaceful neighbor is the actual victim because Lithuanians, Latvians and Estonians don’t fantasize fondly of being gang raped by Russian hoards like he does.
It's promising that one of the left-wing insurgents who won last night (Darializa Avila Chevalier) has explicitly opposed US funding of NATO's war in Ukraine, while another (Claire Valdez) implied it. It's not why they won, but left-wing dissent on Ukraine is long overdue.🇺🇦
