How dire is the recruiting situation at the FBI that they have to change the rules to let in the one guy who once fucked a donkey at gunpoint?

In Trump's head if America is being nuked, first think people would think "I wonder how Dow is doing today."

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "You want to see a stock market go down? Let a couple nuclear bombs be dropped on us, then you'll see a stock market go down. So the stock market has not gone very much at all. It's gone down a little bit. Much less than I thought. And frankly the gas hasn't gone up as much as I thought."

The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. 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.

If the government really is worried about Iranian sleeper cells, then it was probably a mistake to systematically reorient the majority of US counterterror resources toward arresting immigrant grandmothers and five-year-olds in bunny hats

The implication here is that a year of secret police crackdowns fueled by racial profiling have left thousands of sleeper agents unmolested, great stuff. *FOX NEWS RADIO AIRS TRUMP INTERVIEW RECORDED ON THURSDAY *TRUMP ON IRANIAN SLEEPER CELLS: THERE COULD BE MORE THAN 1,700

DOJ's own website tells federal officers: "Deadly force may not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect." And "Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles." What happened in Minn by federal agent violates the law

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Rewatched “Hannah and Her Sisters” & struck by 2 things: - Bit parts by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lewis Black, Richard Jenkins, Richard Jenkins, John Turturro & JT Walsh; AND - The sketch the network insisted Woody Allen’s character cut involved CHILD MOLESTATION #HappyThanksgiving

It's important to keep pointing out: Jimmy Kimmel didn't say anything about Charlie Kirk. He criticized Trump and his MAGA freaks for gleefully exploiting Kirk's death. That's what got him suspended. And that's what makes this different and even more dangerous.
