[The Washington Post] ‘Morally acceptable’ for U.S. troops to disobey orders, archbishop says]

So, will #Trump call the archbishop a traitor who deserves to be hung? Will the #JusticeDept start investigating the #Catholic Church? Will the regime insist on appointing it's own archbishop for the US #military? Stay tuned!

"The Toddler-in-Chief"

#Trump's tantrums over (a) not being given a #NobelPeacePrize he "deserves," and (b) not being given a #Greenland he "deserves," would be hilarious, if it were for trade (and possibly military) wars that he's stirring up.

For what was once a quirky joke, the stealing of #Greenland has become a touchstone for the moral corruption of the #TrumpRegime. It's #MightMakesRight attitude and framing of being a bully as a moral imperative is a danger to us all.

Pete #Hegseth says the military newspaper "Stars and Stripes" is too #woke and must be rechanneled to focus solely on exploding rockets and gouts of blood and how nifty the Commander in Chief is.

Sure, it's mandated *by law* to have an "independent" editorial board ... but as we know, to the #Trump Regime, "independent" is almost as naughty an I-word as "inclusion."

"The Emperor's New Peace Prize"

Part of me want to just go along with the gag so that #Trump will finally STFU about how much he deserves a #NobelPeacePrize. Except then he'll want another one ...

"Greenland, Trump, and Backing Oneself into a Corner"

The more #Trump keeps talking about how #Greenland will and must be annexed, the more he feel forced to do it lest the entire world point and laugh and think he's a loser. Which is both pathetic and dangerous.

Hey, it's easy to show that #airpollution #regulation is too costly when all you do is count the costs, not the benefits, amirite? #EPA #Trump

"Like a little kid playing 'war'"

Pete #Hegseth's frantic compulsion to show that he's the killingest alpha male on the planet is driving him to make some fundamental (and consequential) errors about #AI and the #military.

RIP #ScottAdams.

Yeah, he lost me as a fan (and customer) way back. But for a time there, his #Dilbert defined white collar office life in a way that really resonated with me and pretty much everyone around me. And I feel compassion for anyone who lost a fight with cancer.

"Trump's weird obsession about wind power"

From cancer scares to bad economics, #Trump is clearly obsessed about the "dangers" of #windpower . But why?

"Blaming the Victim for January 6"

And today we welcome the newest #TrumpRegime official, Winston Smith, who has taken over documentation of the #Jan6 cowardly attack by Capitol Police, egged on by Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence, on peaceful patriotic protesters who were calmly but righteously declaring their opposition to the 2020 election steal.

It's all documented right there, on the #WhiteHouse wibsite. Really-truly.

"National Security? Or Financial Security?"

The excuses the #TrumpRegime keeps coming up with for taking over #Venezuela and threatening to invade #Greenland sure seem more about making a lot of money and less about actually protecting the US.

"Like it never happened"

Anybody surprised that the legally mandated plaque honoring the #CapitolPolice who fought against the #Trumpist mob violence of #Jan6 has apparently ... vanished?

It's believed to have been made, but #electiondenier #MikeJohnson has somehow never gotten around to having it put up in the Capitol.
