> [@wguy123](#): > > I never thought the day would come that I would agree with Fucker Carlson! Can’t say “I agree” with Tucker, yet he’s not the mouthpiece of an evil administration, and he’s throwing overhand fastballs where I reckon the especially dim-witted Ted Cruz was expecting underhand softballs. The “you don’t know the populations of countries you expect to topple” was very biting. “Iran wants to kill Donald Trump” was incredulous as a reply. Perhaps one country wanted to kill George Washington. Maybe six for Teddy Roosevelt? Perhaps only two for FDR? For Trump it’d be like the line of people waiting in “Airplane!” to smack the woman freaking out “Get a hold of yourself!”, including a nun, a woman with a gun, guy with a wrench and we don’t see the end of the line. ---

That’s a good way to put it. I’m sure that Cruz wasn’t expecting such a pushback on his answers from Carlson—I’m sure he was expecting more like, “Mm-hm, yes, that makes sense,” or similar. Note that I’m not agreeing with Carlson either, but it was nice to see somebody challenging a Republican, and not taking his “facts” at face value. I wouldn’t have been at all surprised if Carlson had said “Cite?” at what Cruz was saying. ---

> Gabbard brushed off the inconsistency, blaming the media for misconstruing her earlier testimony and asserting that “President Trump was saying the same thing that I said.” You see previously Trumps was saying he was going to make a big wonderful deal with them and so the facts showed that they had no intention of building a nuclear weapon. Now he’s saying he’s going to bomb them into the stone age, and so the facts show that they were working furiously to build a nuclear weapon. Also we have always been at war with Eastasia. ---

> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > If he were to rebrand it he wouldn’t name it after shit hole countries There’s a flaw in your logic here, @Buck_Godot . The felon is doing his utmost to turn our country into a shithole country, yet he’s renamed the Gulf of Mexico after America. Speaking of his fuck-ups, [this is too funny](https://www.yahoo.com/news/mulvaney-warns-safety-concerns-over-011654098.html). > [@](#): > > Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on Wednesday raised safety concerns about President Trump’s newly installed flagpoles at the White House. > > In an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill,” the former Trump official questioned how the president’s helicopter would continue to land safely on the South Lawn, where a flagpole now stands. > > “I see a problem for where they’re supposed to land the helicopter — because this is right on the South Lawn, and I’m not really sure,” Mulvaney said in the interview when asked about the flagpoles. [Co-conspirator Hegseth gets grilled over ~~supporting treason~~ renaming bases.](https://www.yahoo.com/news/democrats-hammer-hegseth-over-restoring-194632957.html) > [@](#): > > Democratic senators on Wednesday repeatedly slammed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his decision to restore the names of nine military bases originally named after Confederate leaders, with Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) criticizing the Pentagon chief for not calling the families whose relatives’ names will now be stripped from the installations. > > The former titles, which the Pentagon [earlier this month](https://www.yahoo.com/news/pentagon-restore-names-7-more-214405968.html) said would be restored albeit with new namesakes, means seven bases named for notable individuals will soon revert back roughly two years after conversion. Hegseth earlier this year ordered the names of two other bases, Fort Liberty and Fort Moore, changed back to Fort Bragg and Fort Benning, respectively. > > Kaine, whose state holds three of the nine military bases that were originally named for Confederate generals, said Hegseth’s decision strips away “the names of four amazing people that the Pentagon and local communities had chosen to honor.” Andlet’s be clear here. The “new namesakes” is the lamest veil for a racist stunt in the history of the universe. What’s next: renaming the White House as _the Donald John Trump Executive Mansion_ but most definitely not naming it after felon47, it’s some _other_ Donald John Trump getting honored? [One of the felon’s lackeys in Florida, of course, wants to deport a sitting congresswoman.](https://www.yahoo.com/news/florida-attorney-general-calls-feds-190519512.html) And why?

He went on to say that, other than the COVID-19 shot, vaccines for kids aren’t safety tested, so the “risk profiles are unknown.” This is [not the first time](https://apnews.com/article/rfk-jr-vaccine-trump-science-autism-9b99621b01f11b7f0bdc81e5a0b82d2b) Kennedy has questioned the safety of vaccines, even though there is actually nothing to question there.

Trump recently looked over at the Declaration of Independence (I do hope the National Archives hasn’t really given him the original) during a press conference, and cited it was both the cause and solution to the _Civil War_. > Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Lincoln - MORONs (maybe somebody would remind him that even a fake republican ought to not say anything bad about Abe.) But he would have ended the Civil War in a day. “Bunker Busters” are designed for penetration of stuff and then blowing them up. I dunno if they use TNT or whatever, yet their explosive power is akin to nukes. The USA has them, and the B52’s to target Iran. And I don’t see anything about “War Powers Act” in the Declaration of Independence, thus Trump and his big, yet right now confounded, brain have a decision to make. And he truly has nothing but morons like Hegseth to talk to. ---

Each can penetrate up to 60 meters beneath the surface to destroy its target. It can only be carried by the B2 Stealth Bombers due to its size.
