Home Depot wanted holiday cheer, got a whole-ass choir calling out their partnership with ICE instead…

Hegseth is vulnerable here, and so is the regime more broadly and they know it.

The response, specifically to Kelly last week, makes a lot of sense in the context of “this info is coming out, the military is comprised folks that admire Kelly more than they respect Hegseth.”

Surprise! The “peace plan” is really just a plan for Trump, Witkoff, Don Junior and their friends to get rich.

Everything is a grift. (And the Hunter hunters are silent)

And this is why they are ramping up the violence and murder. They know they are despised.

Terror is their way of trying to control the masses.

What do you do with unlawful orders?

The critical - and topical - issue of when the military and security services can refuse to do what they are told

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Here's a gift link to the story that Hegseth is, well, not denying. wapo.st/49KbUJ1

Pentagon Pete in Legal Peril Over ‘Kill Them All’ Orders A follow-up missile allegedly killed survivors of a U.S. strike on a drug boat.

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.

Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.

Pure, mindless, barbarism.

Jack Goldsmith was head of the Office of Legal Counsel under George W Bush.

This is yet another series of impeachable offenses.

Make Money Not War: Trump’s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

Witkoff, Kushner and Trump sold out Ukraine and our allies.

Thank god the info was leaked.

Trump and his people are such sadists. War crimes and mass murder get them off.

Remigration is ethnic cleansing, which is a crime against humanity and a form of genocide.

That is what the regime is signaling. That is what it is wants.

More cracks in the dam

This is absolutely insane.

Trump Announces Pardon for Honduran Ex-President Convicted in Drug Case

-took a $1M bribe from El Chapo:
-was aided his in clemency campaign by Roger Stone
-ran for reelection despite a law against it, thus setting off political violence that killed dozens.

Honestly, no officer should need advice to decide if "kill these guys flailing around in the water" is a legal order

Sec of war confesses to war crimes while trying to dunk on the MSM

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA J.G.G., et al., Plaintiffs, V. DONALD J. TRUMP, et al., Defendants. Civil Action No. 25-766 (JEB) ORDER At the hearing on November 19, 2025, the Court offered both sides an opportunity to propose next steps in its inquiry into whether a criminal-contempt referral is appropriate. The Government, now for the first time, has identified who purportedly made the decision not to recall planes containing Alien Enemies Act detainees on March 15, 2025: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. See ECF No. 195 (Def. Resp.) at 2. Defendants nonetheless maintain, relying heavily on Judge Katsas's concurring opinion for the D.C. Circuit panel, that her decision was proper and not contumacious. Id. at 3-4 (citing J.G.G. v. Trump, 147 F.4th 1044, 1052 (D.C. Cir. 2025) (Katsas, J., concurring)). As a result, the Government posits that "no further steps are warranted" because "Defendants did not violate this Court's order." Id. at 1. Given that the other two panel members (plus the majority of the en banc court) did not agree with J. Katsas, the Court is not prepared at this juncture to terminate its inquiry. Instead, it must determine whether Secretary Noem or anyone else should be referred for potential contempt prosecution. In other words, the Court must decide if: (1) the court order was "clear and reasonably specific"; (2) "the defendant violated the order"; and (3) "the violation was willful."

United States v. Young, 107 F.3d 903, 907 (D.C. Cir. 1997) (quoting United States v. NYNEX Corp., 8 F.3d 52, 54 (D.C. Cir. 1993)). In conducting such inquiry, Plaintiffs submit that the Court should "require the government to promptly file declarations) identifying all individuals involved in the decision not to halt the transfer of class members out of U.S. physical custody on March 15 and 16, 2025." ECF No. 193 (Pl. Resp.) at 1. "[O]nce these declarations are filed and depending on what information they disclose, the Court should then determine the appropriate sequence of witness testimony, and the manner in which that testimony should be provided." Id. The Government similarly notes: "If the Court believes any further information is needed for [its inquiry], Defendants respectfully request an opportunity to provide that information to the Court by way of declarations in the first instance (as even Plaintiffs agree is appropriate)." Def. Resp. at 1. The Court will adopt the parties' agreement on starting with declarations; it will then assess the need for witness testimony. It therefore ORDERS that by December 5, 2025, the Government shall submit declarations from all individuals involved in the decision not to halt the transfer of class members out of U.S. physical custody on March 15 and 16, 2025. Such declarations shall detail their roles in such decision. /s/ James E. Boasberg JAMES E. BOASBERG Chief Judge

BREAKING: As part of his contempt inquiry, Judge Boasberg orders DHS Sec Kristi Noem and other officials to submit declarations by 12/5 attesting to their actions relating to the decision not to turn around March 15 Alien Enemies Act flights.

Tump confesses to using an autopen —

Donald J. Trump + @realDonald Trump Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States. The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

so none of what he’s saying is real btw

Once again, you now live in a country where there are two classes of citizenship, & those of us who hold the second class variety can apparently lose ours if we do not show good behavior to Dear Leader & the far right authoritarian party.
