I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

DAVID BROOKS SAYS GENERAL STRIKE NOW AND BILL KRISTOL SAYS ABOLISH ICE

They love killing Americans. Shitting in our food and laughing at us

Yeah I'm dooming. I don't think we're ever getting a Tiberian Sun/Red Alert 2 remaster from EA, or a new Advance Wars from Nintendo. Politics? That we'll deal with.

Marco Rubio: censorship of Americans ends today Brendan Carr: report what we tell you or we’ll pull your license

Judge Wilkinson is an appointee of Ronald Reagan and has been on the shortlist for previous Republican presidents for nominations to #scotus. This is as emphatic of a warning it gets for everyone and a notice for Roberts SCOTUS.

they’re doing that thing where a new coach discovers his NFL team has a ping-pong table in the locker room and orders it removed to build a winning culture focused on football and all the players resent it and he gets fired after 3 sub-.500 seasons, but for The Army

Other WW2 ice cream facts, smaller USN ships that picked up aviators who had to ditch, would hold them "hostage" until their home carrier provided them with ice cream as ransom. Also Bull Halsey yelled at a couple of ensigns that tried to pull rank/cut in line when the gedunk was serving ice cream.

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

Bring it on, fuckhead.

So fucking right

in chinese culture, it is considered rude to offend the people you want to negotiate with by calling them dumb peasants. few know this

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

MFW my parents ask why the family computer is constantly crashing every time I install Limewire.

The face you make when you Google CECOT

Look, I know someone going “this is worse than I thought” is movement in a positive direction—including from a too-cool-for-school Both Sides type who does it smugly, or a bigot who enjoyed the aesthetics of cruelty but has lost money from tariffs—except I’m not rushing to praise them for it, sorry.

Any Democratic politician who doesn't understand Nayib Bukele's grave offense against the sovereignty of the American people and constitutional order and say as much publicly should have no future in elected office. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bukel...

Salvadoran President Claims He Lacks Humanity To Return Wrongly Deported Man

Idk screeching at Nazis (via .30 calibre M2 ball cartridges) worked pretty well last time

That's my senator. Good shit.

We await the letter from the HOA.

going to need to start hearing from governors what they intend to do to protect residents of their states from the federal government

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

Ah the kind of Making America Great again where the president of El Salvador wipes his ass with the flag and the constitution in the Oval Office, got it

The kicker on this is perfect

wow that’s crazy liz. I actually like my wife

This is really moving

Another tweet that should have ended with the first sentence. Also, I guess I'm a "World War Two enjoyer."

Xi be like

how does this audio work so perfectly with PlayStation 1 graphics

I would rather watch my own autopsy

I'd add that the portrayal of Lee as a military genius is also completely dishonest. Lee was directly responsible for the strategic decision that lost the war for the Confederacy (1863 invasion of the north) and made that decision for dumb and foolish reasons.
