CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

So easy to buy in to us descending in free fall to the darkest days of our Nation under the direction of this administration and especially its odious values - - the potential of the very loss of our democracy. Find hope. Watch this. The payoff is grand.

Sarcastic.

What's the problem? The R's suspended enforcement of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act which forbid US companies from paying bribes outside the US. DT was simply aligning us, by example, with how the rest of the world does business. (sarcasm)

Anyone else suggesting that before we put Haitians in windowless warehouse detention camps with once a day peanut butter sandwich meals, we should consider rounding up all the former and present Iranians in the US. and seize their properties - - nice Beverly Hills homes etc... Just like 1942.

We are sunk by our action covered not with glory, but by infamy. We have become pariah with only the war criminals of Israel's Gaza campaign as allies.

He's so transparently incapable at doing what his job calls to be done. He's an embarrassment and with the rest of the Cabinet the greatest threat the Nation has ever faced from within.

Occasionally decisions made in the moment without study, purely reactive and without any learning of value in the matter can turn out OK even for a dullard like DT. But this war ain't one of them.

WTF. Push up the stock price for "war" companies and bring greater value to the options held by their to executives! Assuming OK to make planning and resources public. Expect he's posted all of the targeting maps in his bathrooms at Mar a Lago so people have something to look at while on the can.

1. Good to know what sets him off so we can light up other clowns in the cabinet. 2. Your Strike 1 sounds way too logical for him (eg, not petty) b/c he could just as easily be deluded that she was venal and effective. 3. Super interesting both of Miller's special pets, Noem and Bondi. in trouble.

Good point. He's a jealous little fu*cktard and competitive grifter.

her story only corroborates her story that Trump approved.

Noem's fault was saying Don wanted her to spend the 200,000,000 on her commercials - - that is: commercials about her. That was an insult to his brand and his insistence that all his clowns act like clowns in his shadow. The other stuff including shooting people and torture in detention, all good.

The thing is, what you have said is true for Los Angeles and every other city ICE has descended on. They are still at it here in LA after the Marines and the Nat Guard left. Every day we get multiple kidnappings, inhumane detention facilities, lack of medical care, once a day sandwich meals etc...

Looks to have an abysmal acoustic profile leaving to one side its completely inappropriate garnish appearance next to the White House. All of his predecessors understood that the White House should at minimum reflect its accessibility to any ordinary American and at best, simple elegance.

Every American who hasn't seen the amazing Kubrick/Terry Southern/ Peter Sellers film "Dr. Strangelove" needs to watch it in the next few days. It was meant as arch satire and not as predictive. It does get the President character wrong. Even those brilliant minds could not conjure a DT in charge.

The American people who have either never succumbed to the DT con or recently woken up to his utter insanity and/or to the revelations in the Trump-Epstein files and/or the reality he has been a Russian useful idiot on Ukraine as well as one for Israel on Gaza/Iran - - we would ask you to resist.

These a**holes are one click away from lionizing unconstitutional actions and war crimes as praiseworthy conduct by America. We are upside-down getting dragged over gravel and hot coals. Stop this world. We need to get off. (Google can explain the reference, I expect).

Land o' Vance where Senators are bought and paid for by Silicon Valley oligarchs. No surprise here. It's a back door to Palantir, the source for the money Theil gave him, getting the information for itself to stir up shit for DT before the midterms.

Even Netanyahu who has been making the nuclear weapon claim for 30 years... yup, 30 years of imminent nuclear threat that never materialized... would have trouble telling this outrageous lie about 2 weeks. DT needs to feel he's better than everyone and this is even worse than the WMD Iraq lies.

Does Call to Action have a deal with Jon Stewart, his show or the network that distributes it to repost the clip behind a wall that requires subscription to your organization's solicitations? If not, and hard to believe that deal is in place, your team needs to hire knowledgeable clearance staff.

Clearly ship will be needed elsewhere anyway: maybe Ecuador for the civilian casualties, maybe our new client state Venezuela, maybe for Cuba after the invasion, off nearly any part of the coast of Africa other than that South Africa place and any number of potential spots in the middle east.

The Geneva Convention, which Hegseth before Congress has avoided affirming, requires provision of medical services to POW's. The detainees are there for civil - - mainly not criminal - - violations and not as warriors. DHS incarcerates then intentionally rigs the process to deny hearings etc...
