A note on SaneWashing: I read part of this post to family (all liberal Democrats who consume a lot of news, but not social media), and it blew their mind. They all thought it was parody: if Corporate Media did not SaneWash, it would shock US, his approval would plummet from low (30s) to lower(20s).

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

"Dear Hatemongers, We Aren't Going Back" Trump, Stephen Miller, & MAGA have already lost. No matter how hard they try to send people of color "back" to our "third world countries," there are just too many of us. We're here & we're winning. thelefthook.substack.com/p/dear-hatem...

Trump’s stated justification for every single one of his despicable pardons of multiple drug traffickers, wealthy fraudsters, people who beat up cops, cronies, violent criminals, and politically connected Republicans is always the same: “I heard they were treated very unfairly.”

You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.

A top Republican in Indiana, whose daughter has Down Syndrome, just announced he will be voting to block Trump’s gerrymandering after Trump used the R-word to insult people yesterday.

The headline is not just that Pete Hegseth issued a plainly unlawful order to intentionally slaughter survivors after an initial strike. It is also that senior military officers improperly carried out those orders.

I’ll be up late tonight…(nothing new, I guess) working on tomorrow’s article regarding the story of Pete Hegseth…and the order of “Kill them all” that was reported earlier today. I’ve already got a lot that no one else is reporting…and very likely…won’t. Look for it mid-late morning.

To me, "Drumpf" and the other names are just the left-wing equivalent of "Killary" and "Demonrats." An instant signal not to take the person seriously.

Most people accept it everyday. The non-accountability is way stronger than any sense of national morals. They elected a racist, a rapist, a felon, and vile insurrectionist. They knew this in advance and did it anyway.

I mean, as fighting words as it gets here from a GOP official against the White House.
The state senator said he declined the invitation and believes it violates the Hatch Act, which restricts certain political activities by federal employees.

Walker said he would have reported the alleged violation to federal authorities “if I thought that there was anyone of integrity in Washington that would follow through on my accusation and actually cause someone to lose their job over it.”

The way to understand it is to realize that the chain of command is built not only on discipline, but on trust. If you're a major in the army and your colonel says to do something, you assume - and legally, you are *required* to assume - that several officers senior to you already vetted it.

The DC shooter is a man whose work *for the United States* drove him crazy from guilt. That work, conducted at the direction of *our* CIA, allegedly involved murdering civilians. So for Trump to now say that the DC shooting confirms that *Afghans* categorically have shitty values is.... beyond vile.

Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today: 1. Your countries all suck. 2. None of you know what you are doing. 3. The US is better at everything. 4. All because of me. 5. I’m right about everything. 6. You should listen to me & do what I say. 7. And give me lots of awards.

Trump and his cronies claim they support immigration as long as it’s done legally. But today, thousands of Afghans in the U.S. lose their Temporary Protected Status. They’re here legally and would be targeted by the Taliban if they had to return home. The cruelty is the point.
