I, for one, find it both appropriate and humorous that Pete Hegseth is officially a SOW (Secretary of War). It would be great if that acronym were applied, and its mammalian pronunciation emphasized, whenever he is referenced.

Anyone agree?

I have no difficulty believing that the general order from on high was something like "blow them out of the water and leave no survivors". It's a little harder to believe that a specific order was given to go back and kill the survivors. And, that it was obeyed. Certainly plausible under SOW Pete.

Only CLEAR traitor and insurrectionist worthy of hanging is the Fat Fascist Felon himself. But, he'll likely be found innocent by reason of stupidity and wealth. Like the affluenza kid. Remember THAT travesty of justice?

Absolutely agree. As should anyone that has a functioning mind they are certain is their own.

What's the difference between the brownshirts rounding up & disappearing those Hitler didn't like & ICE doing the same to those the Fat Fascist Felon doesn't like? Only difference I see is the calendar & the particulars of Trump's Big Lie(s). Shame on those that support him. smh

Do you think Grok is right, or wrong?

If you support the Fat Fascist Felon's immigration policies you are as responsible for this crap as he is. And, accountability WILL come to you.

The pending Senate deal reminds me why I've been an Independent/non-affilliated voter since my first voter registration. You can always count on politicians, both Parties, to do what's best or most convenient or least painful for THEMSELVES. F the people that elected them to be their voice in Gov't.

Huh. How do we KNOW they weren't ICE? Were they caught?

Who is ensuring that all of the posts on the internet are free of subliminal messaging?

What about music? We know that certain sounds and arrangements can affect certain regions of the brain.

Just something to ponder as we observe America falling apart.

Electricity costs are rising. They will rise more with the building of AI data centers. I'd like to know why PUBLIC electricity is being used by $xB corporations to create DIGITAL products for consumers. They should do their own power generation. Not use the National grid paid for by all citizens.

Me too. If you are as well repost. Make certain that the Fat Facist Felon takes note of how many feel the same. Not that he'll care or alter his cosplay shtick.

Breaking news: Inflation back up over 3% for 1st time since January 2025.

Do you think it could be because of the policies of the Fat Fascist Felon in the, now destroyed, Whitehouse?

He was passed the most robust economy in the WORLD, set upon the path to true abundance for Citizens.

Now look!

No. The Constitution will remain intact. The violations of it will likely continue to increase. But, it will stand. And, eventually the the Fat Fascist Felon, and his MAGA Cult cronies, will be held accountable for their crimes. One way or another. They are vastly outnumbered, weak, and incompetent.

Most Americans don't give a damn about what the Gov't is doing unless it directly affects their lives/livelihoods. That's how Fascist regimes come to be. The many small democracies that comprise a Republic are easily defeated individually if they fail to comprehend that their strength lies in UNITY!

Ben, I think you'll find some interesting takes on Trump's involvement in Ukraine about the 3 minute mark.

Anybody else seeing the irony, and stupidity, of the Fat Fascist Felon renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War at the same time he's begging for the Nobel Peace Prize for his fictitious claims of stopping wars?

The Fat Fascist Felon seems worried about getting into heaven. I heard he compiled a list of his sins so that he'd be ready for forgiveness before passing the Pearly Gates. Typed the entire ordered list with his own tiny hands.

Please! Don't anybody tell him God doesn't have/use a computer.

Ice agents say "We're taking our Country back, Baby!". Real Americans see Trump and his inhumane, unlawful, unconstitutional, policies, destroying OUR Country. See for yourself. Whose side are you on?

Face it. The problem isn't big government, LBGTQ people, undocumented immigrants, Drag Queens, "them", or any of the myriad issues raised to distract from the real problem. Politics and Politicians Fully bought and paid for by the few to control the many. That's not

Be realistic about the Epstein Files. They contain the names of many wealthy and powerful people from around the World. The political fallout of their release would not be limited to US politicians. There could be serious National Security issues both domestically and globally if the release occurs.
