Yet another military leader removed - US Navy Southern Command Steps Down

Bolton indicted. - I’ll hold off on calling this authoritarian because Bolton may indeed have done bad things. - It’s in Maryland, not EDVA. - I sure bet Bolton wishes he had testified in the impeachment proceedings now.

Ah man this sucks.

I’ve heard this argument before obviously & I won’t rehash it. And you’re certainly right people voted for it. But then I come from an area that has voted for people like Edwin Edwards & Ray Nagin. Our DA ran while indicted and he was elected.

World War I: The First, Second & Third Battles of Gaza That’s what the Brits thought. Second Battle of Gaza, after losing the first, the Brits brought gas tipped shells & tanks. They were slaughtered. Gaza City was leveled back then too. It’s not their first rodeo.

“America First (except some Americans)”

>>Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer. That includes four who were held for weeks with their undocumented mother and without access to the family’s attorney until a congresswoman intervened.<< Right, ‘cuz protect the children.

MO I can’t believe I’m saying this but you’re naive on this. We didn’t disarm the Nazis & Baathists with bombs. We went in there & took it from them & threw them out of government & took their weapons. The Gazans have seen their cities leveled Warsaw style + 70K killed. 3,000 taken prisoner. They’ve been doing this since Roman times.

I’d love to see that.

Eh if you told me a candidate used his company to hide hush money to pay off a prostitute to avoid FEC fines & embarrassment, yes I’d be good with it. For instance if Starr had found Bill & Hillary had done that to pay off Lewinsky in 1999 I’d have said yeah impeach him & charge him. 100%.

I’d be fine with 70-75, need to some old codgers who know stuff. But I’m all for term limits on top of that.

Of course not, wrongful convictions happen. They’re overturned via appeal typically.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. >> Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. One of those women had already had the door of her home blown off while Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem watched. About two dozen Americans have said they were held for more than a day without being able to phone lawyers or loved ones. Videos of U.S. citizens being mistreated by immigration agents have filled social media feeds, but there is little clarity on the overall picture. The government does not track how often immigration agents hold Americans.<<

= US boots on the ground.

Tariff costs to companies this year to hit $1.2 trillion, with consumers taking most of the hit, S&P says >> President Donald Trump’s tariffs will cost global businesses upward of $1.2 trillion in 2025, with most of the cost being passed onto consumers, according to a new analysis from S&P Global. In a white paper released Thursday, the firm said its estimate of additional expenses for companies is probably conservative. The price tag comes from information provided by some 15,000 sell-side analysts across 9,000 companies who contribute to S&P and its proprietary research indexes. “The sources of this trillion-dollar squeeze are broad. Tariffs and trade barriers act as taxes on supply chains and divert cash to governments; logistics delays and freight costs compound the effect,” author Daniel Sandberg said in the report. “Collectively, these forces represent a systemic transfer of wealth from corporate profits to workers, suppliers, governments, and infrastructure investors.”<<

Half the convicts in the pen will tell you they were railroaded.

Actually I posted this in the fascism thread. It’s very Hussein/Khomeini.

: "The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."

How about an age limit.

Are the parents Bengals fans?

Yall seriously, don’t complain about the rules. Don’t ask for clarification or moderation, please. It’s the one great thing about this place. Leave it be.

Any mags supporters want to address why the Seth Rich murder in the same neighborhood during a period of much higher crime rates didn’t provoke the same reaction from Trump & his followers?

See, to paraphrase Ving Rhames in Pulp Fiction, that’s just your conservatism skrewing with you. Conservatives have always been loudly federalists, they stoutly supported posse comitatus, so much so they’ve even opposed the federal government sending money back to local law enforcement. Or they used to be. The cities across America have had modern record drops in crime (& please don’t raise fake stats, Patel’s FBI gathers all that now). No one in DC, Chicago or Portland is claiming that it helped. And no interviews of pedestrians by Fox doesn’t really cut it.FYI. But that *really doesn’t matter. What matters is the President of the USA is a felon who stands before the world & tells it how awful, dirty & dangerous our cities are, while he sends troops to them while he cuts off funds to those same cities instead of just giving cops & other resources what they need to reduce crime (& which btw taxpayers have already paid for).

Eh we can discuss this without left/right. I live in a city where the mayor was indicted and so was the DA at one point & they’re both Dems. One should have resigned & the other never should have been elected. It’s a simple principle, if you want people to care about following the law don’t elect people who break the law.
