Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

Former Congresswo... ® X.com @FmrRepMTG Just called Thomas Massie. Phone rings. Thomas answers. Me: hey what are you doing? Massie: I'm at Kroger. Call you back in 10. lol, he's knows the grocery prices. Do you think Trump has been to a grocery store to do his own grocery shopping in the past 30 years? Nope. 4:37 PM • 3/12/26 • 394K Views

I loathe their politics, etc., but this is legitimately funny and a pretty good burn:

As @tiffanymuller.bsky.social explained in a recent interview, billionaires pour money into elections expecting a corrupt return on their investment.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

Reuters Exclusive

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

I simply do NOT understand why people keep asking "what happened with Trump's promises?!?!?!

Do we not understand this is A CON MAN? Someone who is completely transactional and a sociopath?

He said what he needed to say to get into office. He lied. Now we are paying the price.

MAHA was always a con. It was always about the ego and ambition of a drug-addled narcissistic fraud.

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

I'm pretty sure there's not

Howard Lutnick misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he didn't want to admit he continued interacting with Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.
 
It's a disgrace. Lutnick needs to resign as Secretary of Commerce.

So…what’s the number below which we can arrest pedophiles?

Nothing describes the soul of the Republican Party more than Pam Bondi citing the stock markets as her excuse for not going after pedophile billionaires.

Not only were the files that were supposed to be made available to Members of Congress still redacted, but we also learned that Pam Bondi has been keeping track of what Members have reviewed.

Clearly, this is one big cover-up led by Pam.

Ex-KGB official says 2 countries have copies of compromising Trump video

WE ARE LOSING OUR DEMOCRACY DUE TO TRUMPS EVIL

HE IS BEING BLACKMAILED BY ISREAL AND RUSSIA

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

THANKS,TREVOR........

The US slips to its lowest-ever rank in a global corruption index | CNN Business The United States has fallen to its worst-ever position in a leading global index that measures views of corruption in the public sector among independent experts and businesspeople.

On a scale of 100 (very clean) to 0 (highly corrupt), the United States scored a 64 on Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index.

A 64 is the lowest our country has ever scored.

Americans: Wow ya'll are just deplorable

MAGA: WHY DO YOU KEEP ELEVATING THE POLITICAL RHETORIC?? WHAT HAPPENED TO CIVILITY? JUST FOR THAT WE HAVE TO EMBRACE NAZISM BECAUSE YOU MADE US. YOU DID THIS! WE HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.

The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass. As Europe moves to address its shame, it’s highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in the U.S.

When you’re losing hope.

Take a deep breath.

Close your eyes.

Think back to when this guy was your president.

When you could associate the presidency with class, decency and integrity.

Now open your eyes

And fight like hell to get someone like him back in office again.
