‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

If you think that our military will refuse to follow illegal orders, think again.

Hard to keep track of everything, but we can't forget:
1. Murder of "alleged" drug smugglers on boats in internat'l waters.
2. ICE kidnapping, murdering, assaulting people.
3. EPSTEIN FILES
4. Unauthorized war
5. Insider trading.
6. Lying liars lying.
7. Destroying environmental protections.
8. Etc.

‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

So, I guess any hope that our military would not obey illegal orders was just wishful thinking. We are a shithole country with a powerful military and an insane commander in chief.

I remember at the beginning of Covid, when people were working from home and businesses were closed and the streets were pretty much empty. Cities all over the world, including Los Angeles, were reporting much better air quality.

She accused the wife of the judge in trump's fraud case of posting disparaging posts about trump on twitter. The judge's wife didn't have a twitter account. The tweets were from a user named Dawn Marie with the handle @dm_sminxs. Loomer claimed that it belonged to Dawn Marie Engoran. She was wrong.

Loomer has misidentified people many times. She bills herself as an investigative reporter. I used to read her stuff on twitter, and I am pretty sure her only investigative tool is Google. There is absolutely no reason anyone should do anything bases on her word.

DOJ is settling lawsuits against the government by trump's favorites. They have agreed to pay Michael Flynn & Carter Page both $1.25M.They paid Ashley Babbitt's mom nearly $5M. They are setting the stage to settle trump's $10B suit against the IRS and $230M suit against the gov't.
That is our $$$!!

I am just wondering if the US sent diplomats to negotiate with Iran instead of real estate investors and a smarmy book author, maybe the negotiations would be more fruitful. And maybe if the mad king would stop making constant threats on his social media platform for a while, that too would be good.

Shocking. The guy who defended trump in his 1st impeachment trial, who represented Epstein, who has been a regular on Fox defending trump, is actually now a republican? Now? /s/
Since being shunned by his fellow Martha's Vineyard neighbors, he has found a more welcoming crowd at Mar-a-Lago.

“…would let the federal government bar entry to, deport, and strip naturalized citizenship from any person who advocates for or is “affiliated with” what Roy calls “totalitarian” movements.”
Sounds like Roy is advocating a totalitarian system, just one that is compatible with his far right beliefs.

Should read *decades* of progress, many decades of progress.

WHY? Why is this administration determined to destroy everything good about this country? Protecting the environment & endangered species, protecting people from discrimination, funding the science that once made us the leader in scientific breakthroughs, & much more.
Gone. Decade of progress, GONE

She said that she was part Native American, like most people from OK. DNA test showed she does have a Native American relative 6 to 10 generations back. Until last year, there were 4 generations of my family still alive, so 6 generations back isn't that long. She didn't get special treatment.

The stiletto heels are the most dangerous thing about that creep.

Archaeologists in the Holy Land just uncovered a 3,000-year-old Israelite tablet…

It reads: “Iran is only weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon.”

No. No they are not.

1. That big, rusting hulk brings in $60 million in revenue from tourists.
2. It was closed in 1963 due to high operational costs.
3. Reopening Alcatraz is estimated to require an initial $500M to $1B, w/operating expenses from $50M to $100M annually
4. Movies are not real life.

The US is at war with Iran; therefore, the US has always been at war with Iran.

He is suing us, the taxpayers. A case that would never prevail in court, but his DOJ will settle with him and just hand over our money.

I remember when visiting my uncle who lived in a tiny town on an inlet off of the Puget Sound, telling me that you can tell the weather by looking at the Olympics. "If you can see the Olympics, it means it is going to rain...and if you can't see the Olympics, it means it is raining."

I was at Pike Place Market in February. My sister and I came from out of state to visit family and attend the Pacific Northwest Flower & Garden Show. We went to the aquarium while there. There were tons of people in the Pike Place area.

Brain worm and quest for relevancy and power. Trump has an amazing superpower. He can make people abandon all of their principles and long held beliefs to follow his often-contradictory, often insane, pronouncements and actions.

Thank God this came out before the primary. He had a good shot at being the Democrat candidate for governor of CA. If it had come out after the primary, it would have made a mess of the election. I live in CA & had no idea of his rep. All of these creeps need to be outed.

I understand that he is a narcissist with a tenuous grasp on reality, but I don't understand the people that go along with whatever he says. Many apparently intelligent people that are willing to change their former principles and long held beliefs to conform with his ever-changing whims.

What is that gray slab next to the burger patty? It kind of looks like a well-worn insole from someone's shoe.

There is not even a hint of sincerity in anything JD says. His face is always either showing annoyance or smirking. His behavior to Zelensky was contemptable.

I remember watching the congressional testimony of Dr. Linda Peeno in 1996. She cried as she testified about being an insurance medical reviewer and getting rewarded for denying claims.

Actually, Stephen and Katie have THREE children with another on the way. We can only hope that when they are teenagers, they rebel against their parents' values and decide to be decent human beings... and that they wait until they are mature to have children of their own.

There are a lot of these solar panel covered parking lots appearing near where I live, but then it is in the "liberal devil-worshipping hellhole of California", aka one of the best states to live in.
