Thou Shalt Not Murder Fishermen While Pardoning Drug Lords This is evil.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

I doubt this will work. The 11th circuit ordered Judge Cannon to have this issue RESOLVED in 90 days time, which expires January 2nd. So unless she wants to rule on Trump’s motion to intervene and hear all argument by then, she can’t really delay past January 2nd here unless the 11th circuit allows

It's shameful after all the criticism the media gave "Sleepy Joe" that they give "Dozy Don" a free pass.

Miami Dade College revotes to give away Miami land for Donald Trump library The reapproval came with compensation for land valued at more than $300M.

This is fucken wrong. Polling in Miami-Dade County found thatΒ 74% of voters opposeΒ using Miami Dade College land for the library & want the parcel retained for campus expansion.
The land is valued at more than $300M.

Apparently every Chinese academic in any field of β€œinterest” to the PLA is getting their visa rejected for, more or less, presumptively being a spy. My friend’s visa is denied because she studies β€œneuroscience.” What she actually studies is jaw pain - but ICE is flatly rejecting all appeals.

My undying admiration will go to any reporter who brings up all the evidence of former Honduras President Hernandez's crimes running drugs, and reminds that he was convicted by a jury, and ask Trump how he can claim to be tackling the drug problem while letting such a large trafficker go free.

Gupta: Nobody takes a Montreal Cognitive Assessment with this type of frequency. Doing it as frequently as he’s doing makes no sense. I don’t know any neurologist who would recommend doing a MoCA with that type of frequency. It’s not the flex that I think he believes it is.

In between Dozzie Donnie’s Cabinet meeting nap sessions along with his and Hegseth’s duel gaslighting of America and the busing of an Admiral in the murder of two defenseless souls in the ocean, how many reporters asked the obvious question- what justifies pardoning a convicted drug lord?

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be β€œprosecuted for a war crime.”

They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

I can't get over the fact that they scheduled a televised Cabinet meeting, hyped it as a major event, planned it all out to show how active and in control Trump is ... and then he dozed off in the middle of it. Repeatedly.

Of course, it's not a foreign policy role for the United States. He's the bag man for Trump personally, there to make sure they'll be paid handsomely for the "quo" of selling out Ukraine. Sane as his role in Israel for selling out Palestinians.

here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

Musk tweeting that white people will eventually be extinct

Musk tweeting that white people will eventually be extinct

Anytime you encounter this in the wild, just reply "so?"

The only reason anyone would care if white people "went extinct" (and, Christ, get a grip) would be if they thought white people were inherently superior for some reason. Make them say that with their whole chest.

Tweet by Lindsey Graham: Without a credible threat of the use of military force, nothing changes in Venezuela. When it comes to Maduro, the time for talking is closing. The time for action to end this reign of terror in Venezuela is upon us.

I would urge the Holy Father to be on the right side of history when it comes to ending Maduro’s reign of terror on the Venezuelan people, the United States and others throughout the region.

The use of military force to evict Maduro will only be required if Maduro insists on remaining as the illegitimate leader of a narcoterrorist state. He has stolen elections, collaborates with terrorist groups like Hezbollah, sits atop a notorious drug cartel and has flooded our country with hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens.

As President Trump said, when it comes to Maduro, we can do it the easy way or the hard way. I would urge the Holy Father to spend his time and energy persuading Maduro to take the easy way out -- for all.

I used to think Republicans fell in line because they feared Trump would attack them in a primary election. Now, I realize it's much worse. They are physically afraid of Trump's supporters and the risk of violence.
