The DUmpster / Re: While we are focused on Padilla (and deservedly so)
« Last post by DUmpDiver on Today at 04:32:19 PM »
Muh democracy.  How about DNC chair David Hogg who was voted in and then removed just because he was not the correct sex.

It was democracy in action. 294-99 voted to redo the election.

Make sure that your phone is fully charged so you can watch the Army's 250th birthday parade.

Even CNN Couldn't Defend Padilla's Phony Stunt

The spectacle unfolded when Padilla showed up uninvited to Noem's press conference, apparently expecting to grandstand his way into the headlines. He not only disrupted her while she was speaking, but he also wasn't wearing his security pin, and Secret Service agents, not knowing him from a hole in the wall (who did before Thursday?), prevented him from charging toward the dais. He responded by resisting the Secret Service before agents forced him out of the room.

CNN's David Chalian didn't mince words about what really happened here and why Padilla was actually there. "I mean, he's there to spark a moment and create attention. There's no doubt this is a, you know, political tactic that he was employing," Chalian admitted with refreshing honesty, not even pretending this was anything other than manufactured drama.
...
Also on the panel was Boris Sanchez, who noted that Democrat voters want to see such confrontation and see discussions with Trump officials at the White House as capitulation.

But Chalian's assessment was more realistic: "He clearly showed up to a public event to create a moment and do what you're saying, sort of show his constituents, not just Democrats, but that he's fighting from his perspective."

Breaking News / Re: Israel strikes nuclear and missile sites across Iran
« Last post by SVPete on Today at 03:37:46 PM »
Iran fired off another batch of missiles (150?), flooding Israel's missile defense and achieving some hits, https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2025/06/13/new-iranian-retaliatory-strike-hits-tel-aviv-n3803776 . Iran is just targeting civilian populations. Maybe their missiles are not accurate enough to target military installations and Iran is just firing in the general direction of large-ish cities. This attacking of Israeli citizens may bring FO consequences to Iran's oil industry.

Left-wing protestors need to be told to prepare for... weather?

Rain is too much like a shower, I expect it will cut the numbers significantly.

I would not attribute ordinary intelligence to CA's Senators, dating back to Babs Bouncer, but did Padilla not realize that he could have waited for Noem to finish her presentation and ask for questions?

In the real world his charging at Noem and interruption were pre-planned, as were Dem Congress-Critters' immediate howls. It just has not played as well with normal people as Padilla, et al, cluelessly expected.
