Not to early to start going after JD Vance. Prepare the battlefield…
JD is a disaster, but bankrolled by creepy billionaire, Peter Thiel, and spewing the (White) Heritage Foundation line. Ushaās days with JD are numbered. (I hope nothing happens to her, but wouldnāt it be convenient for JD-the-Widower to wed The Widow Kirk.)
Rubio sold his soul. Not only is he doing Moscowās bidding, but heās tied himself in war crimes against folks in boats near Venezuela.
RFKJ is a stammering, yammering nutjob.
Mike Johnson is also working with the Kremlin, or āKā as stated in Steve Witkoffās accidentally-shared message; suggested to be Kirill Dmitriev.
With tRUMPskyās poll numbers so low, and continuing to sink, why arenāt more Republicans breaking ranks, and why is Epstein the only deal breaker?
US Presidential Special Envoy Steve Witkoff wrote on X that journalists may have received information about the US peace plan regarding Ukraine and Russia from a person named āK,ā according to a post by Axios journalist Barak Ravid on X.
It is likely that Witkoff confused private messages and accidentally posted this information publicly.
āAlmost certainly this refers to Kirill Dmitriev, who is quoted in the story. But it seems the Russian side is leaking this for a reason. Also seems Dim Philby doesn’t know how Twitter works, but is nonetheless confident of his ability to end the war,ā the journalist wrote.
Witkoff may rate him, but in 2022 during Joe Biden’s presidency, the US Treasury called him a “known Putin ally” and imposed sanctions on the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) which he has run since 2011.
“While officially a sovereign wealth fund, RDIF is widely considered a slush fund for President Vladimir Putin and is emblematic of Russia’s broader kleptocracy,” it said.
Dmitriev’s attitude to the Biden years is pretty clear: under Biden there was no attempt to understand the Russian position, he argues, while Trump’s team stopped World War Three.
āI’m not a military guyā¦ but the position of [the] Russian military is they only hit military targets,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper recently, days after a kindergarten was bombed in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. “I’m just working to have dialogue and make sure that the conflict is ended as soon as possible.”
U.S. President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency has disbanded with eight months left to its mandate, ending an initiative launched with fanfare as a symbol of Trump’s pledge to slash the government’s size but which critics say delivered few measurable savings.
“That doesn’t exist,” Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor told Reuters earlier this month when asked about DOGE’s status.
*Not so fast.
It is no longer a “centralized entity,” Kupor added, in the first public comments from the Trump administration on the end of DOGE.
*There are spies or spyware everywhere.
At least two prominent DOGE employees are now involved with the National Design Studio, a new body created through an executive order signed by Trump in August. That body is headed by Joe Gebbia, co-founder of Airbnb, and Trump’s order directed him to beautify government websites.
Gebbia was part of billionaire Elon Musk’s DOGE team while DOGE employee Edward Coristine, nicknamed āBig Balls,ā encouraged followers on his X account to apply to join.
*āBeautify government websitesā aka whitewash and possibly violate the Hatch Act.

WaPo take on Dumbassā 28 point plan.
The 28-point plan put forward by Trumpās team, in apparent consultation with Russian interlocutors, crosses several red lines for Ukraine. It would have Kyiv cede territory to Russia that it has not conquered militarily in the years since its full-fledged invasion in 2022. The plan also mandates that Kyiv scale back the size of its military, rule out hosting NATO troops on its soil and enshrine in its constitution that it would never join the NATO military alliance ā all without a significant Western security guarantee for Ukraine.

Burlington, Massachusetts isnāt supposed to have a secret detention site wedged behind a shopping mall, but here we are. The ICE āfield officeā next to the Burlington Mall was never meant to hold people overnight ā yet we now have reports of folks kept inside for days, even more than a week, on concrete floors with Mylar blankets, one toilet, no windows, and overcrowding so tight people were sleeping on top of each other.
Town officials say ICE broke its original 2007 promises. Congress is now demanding answers. And local residents have been protesting weekly because the federal government keeps pretending nothingās happening.

Turkey, 77 cents/lb
At the better market, Hy-Vee, green beans and corn 50 cents a can, potatoes $2.49 for 5lb.
Those onion crisps are $3.00 so the most expensive dish for the post boomer crowd is that nasty green bean casserole.
Fortunately, I can dice some ham scraps up in mine and am happy
While the dinner may be cheap, my insurance on my house isn’t, a new mortgage isn’t, the costs of car ownership isn’t, and I suspect my property tax went up too.
While I can save money on food by selecting cheaper foods, A pork chop instead of steak for ex. But the other major costs say insurance, I’m either stuck with the high payment or do without and hope a tornado/fire doesn’t happen.

The dismissal without prejudice gives DOJ 6 months to fix it according to Barbara McQuaid, but in Comey’s case the statute of limitations kicked in before DOJ tried to address the problems with Halligan, the Comey indictment, and misstatements of the law to the grand jury. She thinks his indictment is dead. Just another shitty day in Court for Dumbass and his monkeys fucking footballs.
Jack, I hear ya. My Medicare supplement cost with last year’s carrier was going up 15% – I found the same coverage through a different carrier for the same cost as last year’s. $.77 is 44% below wholesale, assuming Hy-Vee’s suppliers are providing turkey at the average wholesale price the FDA is reporting. Hard to make that up on volume.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Pentagon on Monday threatened to recall Senator Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, to active duty status in order to prosecute him after saying it received “serious allegations of misconduct.”
The statement did not say what charges Kelly could face if it took such an extraordinary step. Kelly’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
President Donald Trump last week accused Kelly and other Democratic lawmakers of seditious behavior for urging U.S. troops to refuse any illegal orders. Trump, in a social media post, said the crime was “punishable by DEATH!”
Kelly, in a November 18 video message directed at members of the military and intelligence community, joined five other Democratic lawmakers in urging U.S. troops to refuse illegal orders and reminding them of their oaths to the U.S. Constitution.
Democrats in Congress have been sharply critical of Trump’s military strikes on suspected drug traffickers in the southern Caribbean and the Pacific, questioning their legality. They have also raised concerns that Trump may launch a war against Venezuela.
All of the lawmakers had served in national security roles in the past, including in the U.S. military and the CIA. But only Kelly, as a retired Navy officer, was subject to potential recall to active duty service, the Pentagon said.
“The video made by the ‘Seditious Six’ was despicable, reckless, and false,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on X.
“Encouraging our warriors to ignore the orders of their Commanders undermines every aspect of ‘good order and discipline.'”
The threat to prosecute Kelly follows a purge at the Pentagon of senior members of the U.S. military, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the head of the Navy and the director of the National Security Agency.
The decision to recall and potentially prosecute Kelly could also be seen as a message to those recently dismissed officials, who have stayed silent following their removals.
The removal of Kelly would raise questions about free speech rights and about the separation of powers under the U.S. Constitution. It is also the latest example of Trump’s administration seeking punishment of those Trump sees as political opponents.

But whatās interesting about QAnon is this belief in secret cabals and hidden control. Itās not like that at all. Itās far more chaotic than they imagine. Really, itās a desire to believe in structure ā a displaced faith in God, except God was more open-minded than the world theyāre talking about.ā

@DeptofWar
OFFICIAL STATEMENT:
The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. $ 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures. This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality. Further official comments will be limited, to preserve the integrity of the proceedings.
The Department of War reminds all individuals that military retirees remain subject to the UCMJ for applicable offenses, and federal laws such as 18 U.S.C. Ā§ 2387 prohibit actions intended to interfere with the loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces. Any violations will be addressed through appropriate legal channels.
All servicemembers are reminded that they have a legal obligation under the UCMJ to obey lawful orders and that orders are presumed to be lawful. A servicemember’s personal philosophy does not justify or excuse the disobedience of an otherwise lawful order.

*āDepartment of Warā is just a nickname (and a horrible world view), but it speaks volumes.
If you arenāt planning on issuing illegal orders and violate the US Constitution, why come unglued about our military being reminded what their oath tells them?
Lindsey ālooks-like-Hope-Hicksā Halligan doesnāt have the legal chops?
Seeing stuff about an ex-Israeli intelligence officer claiming (for months), that Netanyahu is blackmailing tRUMP. However, no media that seems anywhere reliable has picked it up. It is on Russian media, so that makes me wonder if thatās Putinās way of yanking his puppyās chainā¦but if Russia has intel on him, why do they care if someone else if floating accusations. Obviously, it could be a threat from Israel , but why is Russian media playing with it.
Itās also interesting that (in what articles Iāve found so far) that the Department of Warmongers (fixed it) are only going after Mark Kelly. Why? Well, he was on the short list for Harrisā VP, and they need to nip and hopes of him running in 2028.
Vice President JD Vance on X (no joke):
āIf the president hasnāt issued illegal orders, them (sic) members of Congress telling the military to defy the president is by definition illegal.ā
I can also use JDās logic against him
If the constitution doesnāt apply to undocumented immigrants, then they are incapable of breaking the law
The simple act of detaining such people demonstrates that they are subject to the jurisdiction of the constitution, and therefore entitled to its protections
get me in front of SCOTUS letās go
only going after Mark Kelly. Why?
Because some trumpco lawyer thinks himself clever
Itās also crazy because didnāt tRUMP call for the execution of elected officials, including Kelly last week?

Roko’s basilisk is a thought experiment which states that there could be an artificial superintelligence in the future that, while otherwise benevolent, would punish anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to incentivize that advancement.[1][2] It originated in a 2010 post at discussion board LessWrong, a rationalist community web forum.[1][3][4] The thought experiment’s name derives from the poster of the article (Roko) and the basilisk, a mythical creature capable of destroying enemies with its stare.

āThe Department of War is coming after me because they don’t like what I have to say.ā

Department of War
@DeptofWar
OFFICIAL STATEMENT:
The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. $ 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures. This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality. Further official comments will be limited, to preserve the integrity of the proceedings.
The Department of War reminds all individuals that military retirees remain subject to the UCMJ for applicable offenses, and federal laws such as 18 U.S.C. Ā§ 2387 prohibit actions intended to interfere with the loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces. Any violations will be addressed through appropriate legal channels.
All servicemembers are reminded that they have a legal obligation under the UCMJ to obey lawful orders and that orders are presumed to be lawful. A servicemember’s personal philosophy does not justify or excuse the disobedience of an otherwise lawful order.

*āDepartment of Warā is just a nickname (and a horrible world view), but it speaks volumes.
If you arenāt planning on issuing illegal orders and violate the US Constitution, why come unglued about our military being reminded what their oath tells them?
Lindsey ālooks-like-Hope-Hicksā Halligan doesnāt have the legal chops?
Seeing stuff about an ex-Israeli intelligence officer claiming (for months), that Netanyahu is blackmailing tRUMP. However, no media that seems anywhere reliable has picked it up. It is on Russian media, so that makes me wonder if thatās Putinās way of yanking his puppyās chainā¦but if Russia has intel on him, why do they care if someone else if floating accusations. Obviously, it could be a threat from Israel , but why is Russian media playing with it.
Itās also interesting that (in what articles Iāve found so far) that the Department of Warmongers (fixed it) are only going after Mark Kelly. Why? Well, he was on the short list for Harrisā VP, and they need to nip and hopes of him running in 2028.
I can also use JDās logic against him
If the constitution doesnāt apply to undocumented immigrants, then they are incapable of breaking the law
The simple act of detaining such people demonstrates that they are subject to the jurisdiction of the constitution, and therefore entitled to its protections
get me in front of SCOTUS letās go
Because some trumpco lawyer thinks himself clever
Itās also crazy because didnāt tRUMP call for the execution of elected officials, including Kelly last week?
Question: If AI searches the internet for queries, does it scan TrailMix?
