After Decades in Combat, a SEAL Suddenly Comes Under Scrutiny

If Adm. Bradley carried out the illegal orders of Pickled Pete and the Asshat-in-Chief, he should join them all in a court of law to answer for killing people whom the UCMJ specifically uses as an example of people who should not be targeted for killing.

@mls.bsky.social can explain why @intermiamicf.bsky.social season holders, who’ve had first-right of refusal on their own seats, through playoffs, and FIFA matches, had that dumped for the #MLSCUP2025 at Chase. Great way to make loyal fans not want to re-up for the new stadium, y’all.

Meet the Mellons. (Part I) The β€œshadow warrior” family of the Far Right, the Mellons, and Scaifes, are America’s puppet masters, manipulating America rightward, and backward, since the Great Depression.

Trump is the puppet. Not the master. Until you stop the masters, there will be more Trumps to rip the nation apart.

Eisenhower. Nixon. Ford. Two Bushes. This has been a century of devolution, against the bubble (illusion) or a liberal fork in the political road.

Someone want to explain to me why states, who likely also have claims to prosecute the scumballs that Trump #pardons, don’t stand at Club Fed’s gates waiting to re-arrest them, and try them on state charges, which Trump can’t pardon?

Africa/Asia: Congo (uranium/cobalt after Lumumba), Angola (oil/diamonds), Ghana (mining), Indonesia (Freeport copper/gold after 1965 coup), Philippines (plantations/minerals), Afghanistan (post-2001 rare earth/lithium prospects).

Middle East cases: Iran 1953 coup after oil nationalization, aiding US oil majors. Iraq 1963 & 2003 reshaped oil access and contracts. Saudi Arabia long shaped by US security guarantees that protected American oil interests.

US interventions often aligned with protecting resource access: Guatemala 1954 (United Fruit), Chile 1973 (copper), Cuba (sugar/oil), Honduras & Nicaragua (banana firms), Haiti & Dominican Republic (sugar), plus repeated Caribbean occupations tied to land control

You mean like all of the Trump-like tinhorn dictators that we installed so Gulf, Standard, Exxon, Phillips and others could extract natural resources without opposition?

The Mellons backed the Nazis. They’re the dominant backers of the Heritage Foundation, Republicans, and Trump. You do the math.

@maddow.bsky.social When you’re poking at other news agencies for folding, please include @nbcnews.com and @nbcuniversal.com and @corporate.comcast.com. No profiles in courage, spinning MSNBC away from the parent company, to avoid Trump’s tiny β€œhand” vengeance.

400,000 if you include all of the ones with Trump touching tweens and teens. Those, of course, are β€œactive investigation” even though the SCOTUS says that the FBI can’t investigate Trump.

Tomorrow won’t be today.
Sunrises are hope
Because nothing about the day has been written, yet.
