Senior officers commanding the most powerful military in human history were summoned from around the globe to sit in a room and listen to a Fox News hairdo do his fast five on pushups and wokeness, then the slurring spray tan guy came out and told them they're going to have to kill Americans soon.

Their hysterical calls to "fight" the rAdIcaL LefTiSts are bullshit because you have to dig down into the last fraction of a percent to find people on the left that advocate anything more radical than things like livable wages, taxing billionaires, and public healthcare. So scary!

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

Racist "real American" and "heartland" conservative bias at media like NYT is so pervasive that senior editors and politics reporters admitted they don't think Black Americans count as Midwestern Living in bucolic cities in blue states while demonizing them and claiming to know "heartland" America

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

Last week, WaPo reported that 17 of 18 intelligence agencies said that Tren de Aragua had no substantive tie to Venezuela. This effectively says one of two claims on which Trump based his Alien Enemies Act invocation is false. Now, Tulsi says down is up.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard

@DNIGabbard
The weaponization of intelligence to undermine the President’s agenda is an assault on democracy. Those behind this illegal leak of classified intelligence, twisted and manipulated to convey the exact opposite finding, will be held accountable under the full force of the law. Rooting out this politicization of intelligence is exactly what President Trump campaigned on and what Americans overwhelmingly voted for. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence fully supports the assessment that the foreign terrorist organization, Tren De Aragua, is acting with the support of the Maduro Regime, and thus subject to arrest, detention and removal as alien enemies of the United States.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
