When the mass protests start, I will be there. If Trump has co-opted enough military brass to shoot me for peacefully protesting, I’ve told my 20-something kids to catapult my body through the Oval Office windows. We don’t allow dictators in America. #RejectTyranny ✊ #HeFiredAllTheJAGs

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

It’s striking that the board is still refusing to explain why they cut Sabsabi, and Burke is still denying political interference. They’ve been busted badly, and the train wreck won’t go away until someone clears the tracks. Own up, if you have any self-respect or any inclination to save CA.

www.smh.com.au/politics/fed... Newsflash Peter Dutton. If Labor was actually doing this I’d be celebrating. Instead they’re in thrall to your dog whistles and fake concern about antisemitism. You do nothing but incite hatred. Having you as PM would shame us all.

apple.news/AvujIrBypSM6... That’s a hard no from me. Conservative Jewish lobby groups have been given far too much power. Yet they still want more.

Only an idiot would think we should eliminate: - Emergency response in natural disasters - Education and healthcare for disabled children - Clean air and water programs - Gang crime investigations - Monitoring of nursing home abuse - Nuclear reactor regulation - Cancer research

“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said. Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Judge Reyes went on to say the notion that anyone in the military is affected by having to use someone else's preferred pronouns is "ridiculous."

My theory is that this election is going be mainly vibes based w few getting info from mainstream media. The Coalition have a much better socmedia game, rich supporters & advisors who worked for the Trump campaign. A lot is going on in targeted social media that we're not seeing. Advantage Dutton.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

www.smh.com.au/national/i-k... I remember the Markson stunt in 2014. She’s never been anything more than a mouthpiece for Murdoch.
