GOP Clown Show

It’s times like these when we can be grateful as a nation that some our most highly trained FBI counterterrorism experts are detailed to do private security for Kash Patel’s girlfriend as she pursues a career as a UFC pre-fight national anthem singer.

Gallego: "Young American men and women are dying because of these idiots"

The Hillary deposition yet another epic fail for Comer Pyle.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

They went to the boss.

Go @hillaryclinton.bsky.social. Absolutely 💯 percent correct.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?"

Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely."

"Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

Has anyone asked Cy Vance or the Manhattan DA's office what happened to their investigation of Leon Black? Has anyone asked former SDNY prosecutors about it? Black lent money to Kushner and went to Russia with Trump and Matt Calamari. Might be kind of important.

Grieving for the four American service members known so far to have been killed in action, and praying for the families of these patriots who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

So now we learn from Republicans that when you bomb a country for a week, sink their entire Navy, and kill their military and political leadership, that is not an act of war.

Maybe they can just go with Putin’s term - Special Military Operation.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

Warner: "When the president says to the Iranian people, 'Rise up. This is your chance to take your country back,' what happens if 100,000 Iranian citizens go onto the streets of Tehran and the IRGC forces, which are brutal, murder 20,000? Does the US have an obligation there?"

Today was an important day for the opposition movement. The law firms that stood up against Donald Trump threats won.

Those that capitulated and collaborated with Trump will need to explain to their families, clients and future generations why when democracy was at stake they were such cowards.

The US Embassy in Riyadh seems to have taken a direct hit.

No idea on casualties, but it looks bad. Hope it was evacuated.

Hillary Clinton has more than her share of flaws, but when it comes to "showing congressional Republicans the proper level of contempt" she is flawless.

He originally said was going to cost $200 million. Then he said $250 million. Then $300 million. But now it's going to come in under budget at $400 million.

FREE TINA PETERS!

A striking thing about Trump's social media activity over the past 24 hours is that from it you'd barely know we're at war. He's been posting news articles from over 2 years ago, spamming posts w/ positive reviews of his SOTU speech, & now posting stuff like this. The guy really lives in a bubble.

Jesus. F*cking. Christ.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

At least they are blaming Vance instead of Biden this time.

Video of Clinton depositions in Epstein investigation released by House Republicans — NPR Over hours of testimony, the Clintons both denied knowledge of Epstein’s crimes prior to his pleading guilty in 2008 to state charges in Florida for soliciting prostitution from an underage girl.

Video of Clinton depositions in Epstein investigation released by House Republicans - NPR

Bill agreed to testify because “America was built on the idea that no person is above the law, even presidents – especially presidents”

Dems: that sets precedent that requires Trump to answer to lawmakers

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

Q: "Do you think Trump should be deposed by this committee?"

HILLARY: "Absolutely. Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers. That is behavior that fits a pattern."

Excuse me?

Hillary Clinton goes off on Republicans after it’s revealed unauthorized images of her were released: I'm done with this. If you guys are doing that, I am done. You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. This is just typical behavior.
