This story makes me wonder how many in the Trump administration are knowingly breaking laws on the assumption if not promise that they'll just be pardoned. All of them, I assume?
The damage Trump has done to the rest of the world in just over a year is incalculable. Billions wasted, lives lost. Not going to be forgotten.
The shoe thing is low on the "important global matters" scale, but HIGH on the "I'll take things a deranged Roman emperor would do for $500, Alex" chart.
This is what he does everytime an organization gives him control of their money. He literally ran one veteran's organization into the ground before Fox. I can't imagine he stopped doing the other things in this article either. 🤷♀️

I understand that military members have to eat. But barracks around the armed forces are falling apart and have mold and non-working HVAC. Not to mention the tens of thousands of homeless veterans and active duty personnel on SNAP.
Pete Hegseth's "Department of War" spent $7.4 million on lobster tails, more than $15 million on ribeye steaks, and hundreds of thousands on doughnuts...in September.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing
Humanity as a whole needs to stop killing our planet. 😓 #batsrock

A draft!
That should galvanize that lagging MAGA support!
Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.
It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.
Oh.
“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
Russia is aiding Iran’s war effort by providing intel on US military targets (!), so Trump's response is to ease the Russian oil sanctions. This guy is NO PATRIOT. #PutinsPuppet
Ahhh the irony
And thank you, Ukraine.
Those school girls and musicians from the Iranian navy were people who thought they’d be able to live.
😳
The scary thing is that it's still working insofar as the real consequences haven't yet hit. But it's very much the moment of Wile E. Coyote running off the edge of a cliff and continuing to make running movements, not realizing he's not on the ground anymore. The drop is going to be very sudden.
The 1797 Treaty of Tripoli (Article 11) states that "the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."
It was ratified unanimously by the Senate, then signed by John Adams.
Not a lawyer, but it seems like Hegseth's explicit order to relax rules of engagement, thereby deliberately endangering civilians, would make this a war crime for which he is responsible. He should he prosecuted as a monstrous war criminal at the earliest opportunity. His order killed 165 children.

Holy shit, DOJ posted the missing Epstein files containing the sexual assault allegations from one of the victims, who was a teen at the time.
The allegations were against BOTH trump and Epstein.
Horrific
🤬
[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.]
A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.
Americans don’t want this fucking war. That Marine veteran knows countless innocent lives will be lost. None of us want this.
Trump is the biggest threat to America and he needs to be locked up for treason.
Ughhhh
I hope someone in his regime still has half a brain cell to actually stop him
Losers.
I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Administration about the war in Iran.
I was worried before, but I’m more worried now.
🤬😓
