Trump promised to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 24 hours and stop the senseless killing, and he would do it easily with one phone call. He hasn’t gotten around to that yet but he is teaching Canada a lesson for selling us lumber, oil & maple syrup. America First! MAGA!

how many times did we say “sucking up won’t save you”

threads post from @ghostoflviv_:

The Pentagon has reportedly ordered
Politico, the New York Times and NBC News to vacate their office space in the building and will instead be inviting the New York Post, OANN, Breitbart and Huffington Post.

Confirmed by Haley Britzky, Pentagon reporter for CNN

The Pentagon has informed its resident press corps that NBC, NYT, NPR, and Politico will "rotate out of the building" to give space to New York Post, Breitbart, OANN, and HuffPost.
NBC, who has an entire booth w/ cameras etc.

letter from the assistant secretary of defense:

MEMO FOR THE PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
SUBJECT: New Annual Media Rotation Program for Pentagon Press Corps
For over a half-century, the Pentagon Press Corps has benefited from working out of individual office spaces that provide coveted and open access to some of the Department's top military and civilian leaders.
Known as the Correspondents* Corridor, this office space loaned to media outlets by the
Secretary of Defense stands as a tribute to the importance the Department has long placed on informing the public about the U.S. military and all it does to project peace through strength. It also honors the many correspondents who put their lives on the line, and in many cases died, while covering our finest in battle.
In order to broaden access to the limited space of the Correspondents Corridor to outlets that have not previously enjoyed the privilege and joumalistic value of working from physical office space in the Pentagon, beginning February 14, 2025, the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs will implement a new Annual Media Rotation Program for those dedicated media spaces.
Each year, one outlet from each press medium - print, online, television and radio - that
has enjoyed working from a physical office in the Pentagon will rotate out of the building to allow a new outlet from the same medium that has not had the unique opportunity to report as a resident member of the Pentagon Press Corps.
This year, the following news outlets will begin their rotation by vacating their physical
office space effective Friday, February 14, 2025:
Print - The New York Times
TV - NBC News
Radio - National Public Radio
Online News - POLITICO
In their place, the following outlets from each medium will be invited to move into the
Correspondents Corridor workspaces formerly occupied by the above four outlets.
Print - New York Post
TV - One America News Network Radio - Breitbart News Network
Online News - HufiPost News …

page 2

To be clear, the outlets that vacate the spaces loaned to them by the Secretary will remain as full members of the Pentagon Press Corps. They will continue to enjoy the same media access to the Pentagon and will be able to attend and cover briefings and be considered for travel with civilian and military leaders in the Department as they have previously.
The only change will be giving up their physical workspaces in the building to allow new
outlets to have their tum to become resident members of the Pentagon Press Corps.
Thank you in advance for participating in the Pentagon Press Corps Annual Media
Rotation Program. By turing over the office space loaned to you by the Secretary, you will ensure that new outlets will have the same opportunity you have enjoyed covering our nation s finest up close from office spaces inside the walls of the Pentagon.

Fuck these fascists.

A conversation on Reddit. The OP says: ”Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes ... Families are torn apart: men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find their parents have disappeared.”

A smoothbrain dipshit replies "Yes. It's a consequence of uncontrolled borders. It's to be expected. Grow a backbone; it's what we voted for."

OP replies that they quoted the diary of Anne Frank, and asks "Now what does that say about you and your party that you could not tell the difference?"

Who knew Biden could have just stormed into the White House, handed a friendly billionaire the keys to all the federal buildings, fired anyone who might have voted for Trump and imposed the Green New Deal, police, gun and voting reform and Roe v. Wade by force, without barely a peep from Congress.

The Commander in Chief is politicizing the deaths of not only 67 lives, but three Servicemembers. His hatred for those who serve knows no bounds. His disdain for women knows no limits. His empathy for those left behind is nonexistent. Absolutely DISGRACEFUL.
