If Hell Exists, It Will Be Filled With Congressional Republicans Growing up in the Church, I believed in Hell.

This isn’t about Trump.

He is a walking moral cesspool; a lumbering, empty, loveless husk of a human being, but he has never been anything else....

Self inflicted wound

Dan Bongino admitted today that he lied for a living. He explained that he lied, because he was paid to lie. He said we should now believe him, because he's paid to tell the truth.

Oy.

Trump’s DOJ is building a voter purge machine—powered by your private data The federal agency ordinarily would prevent attacks on voting rights. Now it’s carrying them out.

For decades, right-wing groups have been fighting to access private voter roll information—data they see as critical in their long war to establish unproven claims of rampant voter fraud.

But today, it’s Trump’s Justice Department at the forefront of this mission.

For assholes who didn't live through the 60's and 70's, yet romanticize it like Duffy, I have one piece of advice for you:

Watch Mad Men.

Yes, as a child born in 1957, that type of misogyny, selfishness, and racism was how the U.S. rolled.

Fuck you if your choice is to go back to that hell.

Top Trump negotiator retains partnership with Ukraine-sanctioned billionaire Steve Witkoff coached a top Putin aide on managing Trump and created a peace plan that mirrored Russian demands

1. Steve Witkoff, Trump's top negotiator for a peace deal in Ukraine, has an active financial partnership with Len Blavatnik, a billionaire sanctioned by the Ukrainian government. Witkoff and Blavatnik are co-developing ultra-luxury condos in NYC, a Popular Information investigation reveals.

Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional. Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.

You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.

It says it right in the Constitution.

Pretty much every article about the Putin-Kushner-Witkoff summit in Moscow yesterday fails to mention that Kushner is simultaneously accepting tens of millions in annual payments from the Saudis and other foreign governments.

Seems like a key detail!

This is going to blow up. Big. Reminds me of that line, “If they aren’t going to play by the rules, then neither are we.”

I love how the Gov plays.

BREAKING: Federal grand jury REFUSES TO INDICT New York Attorney General Letitia James again

Miles Taylor: "I co-wrote Trump's anti-terrorism plan. He's not trying to stop 'left-wing' terrorism. He's STAGING it. His troop deployments are false flag, to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns." Don't let him do it quietly! Trump & Hogshit are staging crimes against humanity.

Either extremely confused -- or lying to the American people.

Republicans Under Pressure To Deliver Long-Awaited Health Care Plan Despite the pressure, it looks like Republicans will fail to coalesce around a plan — and premiums will spike for millions.

Conservative Republicans are also pushing to include language restricting funds going to abortion, which Democrats are calling a nonstarter and a backdoor attempt to ban abortion nationwide.

When the U.S. commits war crimes, acts of war, and meddles in the internal affairs of other countries, it jeopardizes our national security because it invites retaliation and sets precedence for others to follow suit.

“… stay in the fight.”

Or, just maybe, they were succumbing to the natural human instinct of trying to survive.

It’s like saying “if only they hadn’t tried to live we wouldn’t have had to kill them.”

War crime apologist Tom Cotton is murdersplaining.

So he is trying to tell us that the survivors of a missile strike were trying to flip over an exploded boat that was on fire, per Hagueseth, so they could get back in it and paddle away to (unknown destination) with exploded drugs that were also on 🔥? 🙄🤔🤡

Trump Rants: ‘Let Them Go Back to Where They Came From’ President Trump has attacked Somalis with increasingly inflammatory rhetoric in recent days.

President Trump on Tuesday delivered blatantly xenophobic public remarks, which included attacking Somali immigrants in Minnesota and calling them “garbage.”

Listen to "The Daily."

A tweet from Captain Mark Kelly criticizing Pete Hegseth. Kelly writes that Hegseth is threatening to court-martial him for comments he originally made nine years earlier, and says Hegseth now spends his time trying to please Donald Trump. Below the tweet is a still image from a video showing Pete Hegseth on stage in a white shirt and pink tie. The caption on the video reads “war crimes.”

Sen. Kelly with the receipts and the dunk.

I don't know how any reasonable adult in politics and media looks at the clear, irrefutable evidence that's come to light in the past week and doesn't immediately conclude that Pete Hegseth has almost certainly overseen and tacitly condoned war crimes.
