“Hey, citizens, we’re out of money thanks to our ruinous, idiotic, 4-year-long invasion of Ukraine. Instead of holding our military and executive to account for our stupid, fascistic foreign wars (oops, I mean foreign military exercises!), we’re going to create laws that put extra scrutiny on your transactions. Hope you don’t mind!”
I have no idea why this admiral would be willing to fall on the stupidest sword imaginable for pete god damned hegseth. Like… are they offering him a lot of money or something? How flimsy is his sense of honor that he’d be willing to sell out his entire reputation for that?
God, what a piece of shit.
“Why would we ever attempt to hold administration officials accountable? So he did some war crimes. Big deal! Doing something about it would tank our popularity among people who would never in a million years vote for us anyway! Besides, we might scare off billionaire donors!”
I used to hope that, but these last couple of decades have brutally beten such optimism out of me.
If that were the case, they would’ve caved 40 days ago. Caving now ensures that all the pain we went through was for absolutely nothing.
Either would have been fine.
I’d try to negotiate. You never know; they might be willing to take Trump, Vance, every single one of Trump’s cabinet members, every Republican senator, representative, and governor… and maybe if they’re exceptionally ruthless negotiators, like 85% of all elected Democrats to boot.
Not just that; he’s the fucking minority leader. It’s his job to coerce Democrats to vote in a unified manner.
Of all the things that didn’t happen, this didn’t happen the most.
“The president uses social media to make a point,” Johnson told reporters Monday. “He believes that he is a king and that any protest against him or his appointed officials is treason. In essence, he is a fucking traitor who never should have gotten elected the first time, let alone the second, and I and my colleagues are going to work to impeach him and remove him from office, just as soon as we take our tongues out of his asshole.”
– Mike Johnson, if he was slightly less of a toady piece of shit traitor.
Given that this guy wrote about a dream he had wherein his grandmother grabbed a fistful of her pubes and stroked his face with them while asking him to comment on how soft they were, I think we can rule out demonic attack. They may be the minions of Satan, but even demons would be like “bro, what the fuck?!?”
Was going to reply to this post with something like this, but you said it better than I could have. It doesn’t matter what lie he tells them, or how obvious it is, they’ll eat it up because at this point they pretty much have to. Because they’re in so deep at this point that getting out would completely destroy them.
He looks like he was taking a shit in the dark and got an itch on his upper lip mid-wipe.
So wait… does he still think Ukraine started the war? I’m so confused. Did Putin turn him down for a loan or something?
Way better shape. The police actually arrested the traitors on the day they did the treason. What a novel fucking concept.
I don’t dispute his personhood, but that doesn’t imply he’s believable, when his entire career has shown him not to be.
You’re assuming he’s doing it for moral reasons rather than trying to produce a “shocking exposé” around an emotionally and politically charged set of current events for maximum engagement.
It wouldn’t surprise me if this is at least partially true, but James O’Keefe has exactly zero credibility. He has made it his life’s work to produce poorly-made works of fiction, and he has the audacity to call it investigative reporting.
Still, giving Republicans the benefit of the doubt on, well, anything feels deeply immoral.
And yet, if someone were to shoot him as an enemy combatant, they’d be prosecuted for murder. Curious.
