Poor US "allies".

They benefit from the protection of our military, both militarily and economically. They tariff us, their most important and powerful ally.

And yet, they get angry if we tariff them or tell them to increase defense spending.

General Discussion / FBI infiltrated Gavin Newsom’s inner circle

The FBI had a mole inside Gov. Gavin Newsom’s political orbit before the agency’s corruption probe expanded into the governor and his wife, The Post has learned.

Democrat insider Alexis Podesta, 45, secretly recorded conversations during the criminal probe into Newsom’s then-chief of staff, Dana Williamson, 53, who pleaded guilty to federal fraud and tax charges in May, according to Williamson’s attorney.

The revelation she was wearing a wire as far back as June 2024 explains why a swath of Sacramento political insiders and lobbyists were stunned to receive FBI letters last fall informing them that their phone calls had been intercepted during the investigation — despite many having little or no connection to Williamson.

“Alexis wore a wire, and Dana did not,” said McGregor Scott, Williamson’s lawyer and a former US attorney for the Eastern District of California, which is now investigating the Newsoms.

A Trump-Hater hates and lies about what Trump actually said? That’s almost as shockingly surprising as the Sun rising in the east this morning.

EuroLanders might not like being ass-kicked into having adequate defense forces, but dayum! They’ve been coasting on US capabilities, but when this year the US requested minimal assistance in trying to end the 47-year war with Iran, pertinent NATO countries said, “Pawk! Pawk! NOPE!” Trump dared ask, openly and directly, whether NATO countries would ever assist the US in anything. That’s what probably yanked Filipkowski’s tampon string.

The once mighty Royal Navy might or might not have one operational and deployable aircraft carrier, might have one or two operational and deployable nuclear submarine, and has one operational and deployed destroyer. The Army’s SAS (similar to USA Rangers) are getting gutted by ivory-tower lawyers prosecuting men for being “too” effective while under fire.

France might have one operational CBG. Germany has some destroyers and SSKs. Poland might be the most militarily prepared NATO country. Poland!!!

"I have shocking news to report"

writes Ron Filipkowski on bluesky. "An hour in to the NATO summit and Trump has already made a complete ass of himself on the world stage again, trashing our closest allies for decades while praising Putin and Erdogan and ranting one lie after another."

And that's how the corporate media should be reporting trump's performance at this NATO summit. You know they would be if Biden had done an eighth of what trump is doing on the world stage.

Instead we get sanewashing language like "tensions are high" at the NATO summit. No, What's happening is a total %%##$$ show,
with trump saying he would take out a "restraining order" against one of the leaders a couple of days ago and devolving from there. I haven't even heard journalists calling out the lies.

And there seems to be complete silence about his ninety minute phone call with Putin on our nation's 250th birthday.

Do we not remember Frederica Wilson and Diane Feinstein?

And, no, we are not keeping him on life support. Many of us want his RINO ass out the door as expeditiously as possible.

I wonder if hamsterjill even considered the possibility that the annoymorously sourced rumors and consequent CTs might be wrong, and McConnell is recovering just fine from something-none-of-our-business and wants to do so in privacy.

I took a minute to really think about this Mitch McConnell situation, and what it says about Republicans.

Please take a minute and let's just think about what is happening here, and all that is going on. Reports are coming in that he's brain dead. There are things happening that would tend to point in this direction. We don't have confirmation, of course, but the lack of forth coming information is most likely by design. But let's just look at what all is happening IF the reports are accurate.

Republicans are keeping a dead person on life support. That's cruel enough alone. But let's go further.

They are not allowing his family and friends (yes, he has some, I'm sure!) to have closure and to say their goodbyes and grieve;

They aren't allowing his family to start the estate division and collect any life insurance;

They are running up medical insurance expenses under some pretext of medical care;

They are taking up valuable professional time with doctors and nurses and other hospital staff tending to the situation when their time could be better spent helping patients who have a capacity to recover;

They are keeping a hospital bed occupied when it might better be used for someone who needs it to recover; and

They are, of course, CHEATING to try to keep the seat in Congress.

Just when I think I've seen everything, when I think I've seen the maximum evil that I can see from Republicans grasping for power, just when I think they've stooped as low as they can possibly go, they surprise me yet again. They truly are monsters.

One of Platner's accusers said she initially was reluctant to come forward because of his politics.

Think about that.

That's disturbing. The far-left movement really ****s with people's minds.

She wouldn't be the first one. There was (still is) a lefty woman who says she didn't report her gang rapists because they aren't white.
