Hegseth wants slavery back. That's why he wants to hang the picture. To degrade morale among any soldiers not white, and to try to empower thoughts of superiority among the white soldiers.

The thing to realize is that in a free society, laws are considered to be reflections of societal norms. Whereas in an authoritative society, laws are a reflection of one person's desire for power based on his/her opinion.
With a majority of scotus being loyal Trump judges, the likelihood is that they will once again claim something that is false about the constitution that miraculously gives him the power. Watch and see.
Actually, crime statistics in dictator run countries show a greater amount of crime at all levels. The dictators' loyal police tend to take bribes to look the other way or help themselves to healthy shares of the goods stolen.
Artificially conflating democrats with Republicans as to who uses and is more likely to use Russian influence to win elections show that 1) you are a republican who disguises himself as a Democrat to further republican ends, or 2) you are completely ignorant of the last 10yrs or history.
By revoking visas for Palestinian officials Trump is trying to deny them access to the United nations council so they can't refute his and Netanyahu's claims in a forum that can actually hold them accountable for crimes.
What he wants is a record of democrats so he can send his gestapo for them if they vote against his wishes. Wake up. It's not about illegal voting, it's about revenge.
Voting for the tariffs is hurting Americans more. Voting against the tariffs is what needs to happen.
Sociopathic mentally challenged people tend to hate others of their own kind.
Of course. They think they are the chosen superior people and no one should mock them.
Don't count on it. Vance would become president by default, and Miller and the others would still be advising him on illegal and unconstitutional things to do.
Well, considering at the moment it is not a functioning democracy but an authoritarian dictatorship, wishing him dead is the least possible evil one can do.
Kennedy wants us to die. Not them. He would advise Trump to follow actual medical advice.
What he wants is for us to trust people who have no clue about science or medicine. He hates people who have knowledge, so he asks you to hate them as well. After all opinions of people who have no knowledge is according to him better than experience and education about diseases.
Remonder: getting rid of Trump himself is only part of the problem. His administration, his judges, and his enablers in congress and in state legislatures and governors must go as well. They are an infection that is killing this country from the inside.
Even venting about the continuing excesses of illegality and unconstitutionality of this administration helps keep people aware.
In the case of democrats vs. republicans, the case is very clear as democrats try to help all of the people, while republicans tend to help themselves and the wealthy only.

Answer to NRA: guns don't kill people, yet not taking the guns from people who shouldn't have them does. Stop advocating for total anarchy and come up with a better solution. By the way, good people with guns aren't the answer either morons.
To completely eradicate the United States by destroying the constitution and the judiciary leaving only him and his slavish congress to run everything.
That would be the Republicans because the NRA and the gun manufacturers give vast amounts to them to shut down any laws even common sense laws that might be imposed.
Ashley may have been an honorable soldier once, but her decision to become a violent traitor to this country removes that honor and replaces it with disgrace and the breaking of her vows. She deserves an unmarked grave instead of honors.
In future congressional committee appointments we should micro focus the members. Basically, if you have no experience in what the committee is over such as medical care, you can't be on that committee. That way people with knowledge will run the appropriate committees.
A little of both actually. They whisper in his demented ear and he thinks he came up with the idea.
For some reason officials think resigning is showing their bravery and fortitude. What it really shows is that they are afraid of what else the administration might do to them or make them do.
Finally a republican that shows some modicum of conscience.
There is no peace while children are being murdered. What an arrogant self serving ass.
When the person who burned the flag gets to court, the judge will have to throw it out since the Supreme Court ruled its a 1st amendment right to do so.
Sadly it's true. The NRA used to stand for responsible gun owners and safety of gun owners and innocent potential victims. They agreed with most gun safety laws. Under LaPierre they turned away from safety and responsibility in favor of guns in everyone's hands, even criminals.
It is still clearly shocking. He actually believes that he's a king and everyone else is either an enemy or a loyal subject.
It is. Trump doesn't care.
Not a surprise that Trump would want to partner with the same company the Chinese dictator partnered with. After all he loves to emulate dictators.
Personally I never cared for him as an actor. He was pedantic and boring. When he adopted and then married his daughter while she was still under 18, I began a decades long practice of not watching anything he had a hand in filming or acting in.
One thing you might need to consider is that no matter how bad democrats may be at messaging, they are still a better choice than the current administration and it's republican enablers.
That's because Russia flatters his ego, and the obscene fact that he works for Putin.
And he has warned congress that if they don't allow him to extend his deployment of national guard, he will declare a state of emergency and declare martial law. Then he will pause elections etc. to cement his dictatorship.
Truth Art! #arresttrump #art
Reminder: any declaration of emergency is valid for only 30 days without having to prove the emergency actually existed to congress and have it independently verified.
They will turn to anyone to claim vindication so he can skate on prosecution. Even people who in court perjury themselves repeatedly. Republicans have no shame, only the fear of being prosecuted for crimes they commit. That's why they won't prosecute other Republicans.
Just a reminder for congress: a president must prove a national emergency to use military assets past 30 days deployment. And that proof must be independently verified.
They have to cover it up or their own crimes might come to light. The fear they have is being prosecuted for their own crimes. If Trump fall, so can they.
In Poland the Christian Nationalists helped to build the Nazi movement and to construct and house detainees once the regime of Hitler was established. Not saying all of the people of Poland were complicit, but a fair amount were.
I'm a big fan of holding politicians to higher standards of morality and legality than the common man. That way they would not elect criminals, rapists, and conmen.
Actually we have seen it before. In Germany and Poland during Hitlers rise to full dictatorship which was pushed and enabled by Christian Nationalists just as this particular push is.
Actually the term traitor as well as criminal have been used many times in politics to try and stain a particular politician or presidents reputation. It's not new, just not been so blatantly true till now.
Quick answer is going to be no, with the proviso that they gave him almost blanket immunity, and they will reinterpret the constitution to uphold his dictatorship even if it is clearly unconstitutional because they are criminals themselves.
The truth is it wouldn't work. The legislature and governor in Ohio are as firmly entrenched in Trump's ass as Texas is. They don't care about the will of the voters, only their own personal gain.
Unfortunately it's too late. With the Supreme Court firmly backing Trump and his criminal behavior at every hearing, and the fact Trump's loyalists have entrenched themselves deeply into the justice system, the warnings you give now are too late. Should've listened when warned earlier.
While I agree money needs to be removed from politics, most of the blatant illegality and immoral behavior we are currently witnessing has more to do with not holding criminals accountable for their crimes and the mindset that politicians shouldn't be held to higher standards than the common man.
I'd be lobbying the San Francisco library system to change that. I've lived in several states and all of my cards were permanent in each and every city I've lived in.
Library cards to the best of my knowledge don't expire. Once issued, unless you get excessive fines or destroy library property, they are permanent.
She got rewarded for praising Trump repeatedly for two days while attempting to get a pardon.
I tend to agree. Her blatant attempts to paint Trump as innocent of any wrongdoing at this juncture can only be representative of her ongoing request of the Supreme Court to mitigate her sentencing. In addition, the already given rewards of minimal security and work release scream coverup.
Members of Trump's administration don't care about laws. They know that they can act with impunity since he will unilaterally pardon them for all crimes as long as they are loyal to him.
Considering that if they had evidence or even suspicion of a crime, they would have already investigated and searched, yet they wait until after Trump personally calls out someone he doesn't like, then investigate, seems clear it's political.
For a magistrate judge to ok a warrant, all they have to produce is probable cause, which doesn't prove anything other than a believable suspicion that a crime has been committed. Just a more formal reasoned suspicion, no evidence necessary.
She'll go down, yes, in flames, just as Trump's entire administration will. One way or another.
This from a man who hasn't read a single chapter of any religious book in his life.
We mustn't forget the epstein files, but we also must be aware of the active assaults on the constitution and the populace that Trump a d his administration are daily rolling out. Be prepared, the worst has not happened yet. But it's coming. Be prepared for anything.
Because Republicans refuse to jail Republicans.
Always choose the lesser of two evils when given a choice. Not all choices will be good or bad.
And you think the wait times are different when you pay with individual insurance? Of course they aren't. Basically by making that statement you show your fear of everyone having the same Healthcare options as you do. Very unchristian, immoral, and classest of you.
And that's why a person must be nominated. Because many would put forth their name with no real peace efforts, including Trump. Nominees are voted on by committee of independent auditors from multiple countries to reach a conclusive winner.
A slip by Melania during his first term revealed that he keeps a copy of Mein Kampf on his bedside table and reads from it every night. So he can read, he just prefers not to.
The federal government legally should not be a stakeholder or shareholder in a private company. It violates the ethics clause of the constitution.
I support attempting legally to remove, and if that fails, then weigh my options as to what I can and will do versus what forces will oppose me. That's not cowardly, it's called wisdom and planning. Something you seem to be sadly short of.
This particular congress is not responding to pressure. Citizens have been protesting daily, yet the congress still grinds on oblivious and uncaring of the protests.
I simply pointed out that democrats are not against impeachment. A factual statement. Which you chose to be angered by because you know that by looking up the voting records of each attempt at impeachment would show your statement as false. All else flows from there.
Actually I've stated that legally to remove them you have to have the votes. Your response is force the votes, which is impossible to do when the majority party won't allow it.
I don't oppose impeachment. I actually am for it. Or the use of article 25 to remove him as unfit. Either will do. But just removing him is not enough. He must pay for his crimes.
I never said citizens can have no impact. I said that you can't force a member of congress to do anything unless you replace them with others who will. Railing and shouting at me because I speak actual sense won't help your cause any.
Obviously you are part of the problem as you would rather throw the baby out with the bathwater than just the bathwater.
And you really think a senator or representative would give a statement on something so important before actually seeing what articles articles are presented? Of course they won't commit until they see the actual charges numbwit.
1st, I am not in congress, so my voice is just as useless as yours to make any major changes to government without voting. 2nd, there are other legal ways of removing a tyrant that are constitutional. But again it takes a majority to vote on them.
And you can't force congress to do your bidding when the majority don't listen to you. Your rhetoric is all well and good, but you have no idea what it would really take to force anything.
And as far as being cowardly, until you actually stand between the bullets and civilians, don't call another who has a coward.
I don't plan on rolling over or playing dead.I will vote as the rest of the country will if there are midterms. If not, I will fight like my family has done to take this administration the old fashioned way.
False. Senate democrats have said if the articles are walked to the senate floor they will vote to impeach. Don't know where you get your information, but it's false.
And nobody will ever get the votes by throwing the entire party out the window. Again, learn how government works. I suggest a civics course.
Some should be removed yes. But throwing out the whole party over a few is not only nonsense, but dangerous as you are doing the Republicans work for them.
My family fought the fascist nazis. I myself served in the military and oppose Trump daily. I don't just sit on social media screaming about how useless democrats are. I actually educate people on the dangers of this administration.
Again. You have to have the votes. Otherwise it won't happen. And since the entire republican party is opposed, and they hold the majority at least until the midterms it won't happen until the democrats can take the majority with enough votes to push it through.
Try again. A large majority for what 5 or 6. Most are on board with impeachment.
The entire democratic party does not oppose impeachment. Some who prefer compromise do. Those are the ones to replace in the midterms with democrats that will actually fight.
At this point the midterms are the only path legally we can hope for. If that fails, then it could very well be civil war.
During his first term Trump was impeached twice. He was not removed because it takes a two-thirds vote in the senate to do so. The Republicans refused to remove him. Again, CSPAN is free to look up and see the actual votes.
Again, the democrats, as proven, do not oppose impeachment. They have tried several times to get articles of impeachment passed and sent to the senate. The Republicans shot each one down. Look it up. CSPAN is free.
I'm not protecting that load of pedophilic shite. I am as opposed to him and his nazi agenda as I would be to any felonious traitor to this country. I simply refuse to shoot myself in the foot when I may need it later to carry me into battle.
My strategy is not to give up. But instead try to get a supermajority in both house and senate, failing that it might come to actual civil war. Be prepared either way. That's where I stand. Not tearing down those opposing the administration and its enablers, but preparing for certain possibilities.
Rule 9 only applies when the majority party allows it to apply. By refusing to allow a vote period. The democrats have tried and been shot down each time. The only way without civil war to get rid of Trump is to gain the majority then force the vote.
They are already on record. The entire republican majority in both the house and senate refused to even discuss the issue much less vote on it.
You can't force a vote when the majority leader in the senate refuses to even allow a vote on articles of impeachment. Learn how the government works then get back to me.
In an impeachment 60 votes are required to move forward. Democrats hold 49. It would take Republicans to make up the difference. They refuse to because they are the ones propping up this dictatorial administration.
The speaker of the house since before Trump got elected has been and continues to be Mike Johnson, a republican. Again dobyour research.
They are still shredding and reacting any parts that have Trump in them. That's why it will be piecemeal at best and uninformative at best.
Actually, democrats have a more robust record of impeachment than Republicans. So either you don't educate yourself with facts before posting, or you are just trying to stir up more discontent against democrats so the Republicans can keep the majority.
1) they do not have the numbers to impeach. Republicans have the majority and refuse to allow impeachment. 2) articles of impeachment have been introduced to the house, where the process begins, multiple times only to be shot down by the majority Republicans.
The point is that democrats are not opposed to impeaching him or prosecuting him. It's always been the republicans.
The ones who opposed impeachment the last time were the Republicans. The democrats not only impeached him twice, but if the Republicans hadn't refused to back it they would have had him criminally tried. That is factual history per house and senate records.
