When a US Admiral feels the need to ask an attorney what the definition of "shipwreck" is, he's a liability – a danger to his fellow sailors and the country which he claims to defend.

Sending all best your way, Tony. I hope that inner critic shuts up soon. I know what that's like. xo

Exclusive: Boat at center of double-tap strike controversy was meeting vessel headed to Suriname, admiral told lawmakers | CNN Politics The alleged drug traffickers killed by the US military in a strike on September 2 were heading to link up with another, larger vessel that was bound for Suriname — a small South American country east ...

The boat wasn’t headed to the U.S., which we would have learned with a little due process instead of murder. www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...

So true. To feel genuine self-esteem requires having done esteem-able acts.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Talk about narcissism.

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

Hegseth Defense Collapses as Dems Reveal Horrific Video Strike Details The ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services committee tells TNR after watching the video: “This is a big, big problem.”

NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.

"It's bad," Smith says.

Congressman Adam Smith on @kaitlancollins.bsky.social says "fog of war" idea of Hegseth is "idiotic." It was a 48 minute video of 2 guys hanging off boat. Video was completely clear and visible when the second sortie (3 bombs) occurred.

Military leaders sat in an office for 42 minutes watching two men on the verge of drowning mid-ocean, clinging to wreckage, with no aid or ability to call for help. They sat there deciding whether to execute them, and then they did it.

NEW: GRAND JURY REFUSES TO RE-INDICT LETITIA JAMES per @nicollewallace.bsky.social on Deadline White House. HAHAHAHA

The cable, sent to all U.S. missions on December 2, orders U.S. consular officers to review resumes or LinkedIn profiles of H-1B applicants - and family members who would be traveling with them - to see if they have worked in areas that include activities such as misinformation, disinformation, content moderation, fact-checking, compliance and online safety, among others.

Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

The president is falling asleep durring a White House cabinet meeting with each member praising him for his resilience. What are we doing America? This is so embarrassing.

Current US Policy:

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

He really is becoming one droopy-ass old man. Maybe the droopiest old man going.

The same people who i used to fight with in the GOP, who wanted to withdraw American troops from everywhere, are now the ones justifying the murder of two survivors.

It’s almost like…. It was never about that

Reporter: You said that that second strike was in full accordance with the law of armed conflict but the Navy's own manual of law of war says that specifically firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime that's forbidden under U.S. Law and the law of armed conflict…

In case you needed even more motivation to vote in the Midterm elections...
