Our sympathies go to the National Guardsmen who were shot in Washington, DC. This senseless violence didn't need to happen.
Remember these facts.
The shooter served alongside US forces in Afghanistan and was granted asylum this year. That means UNDER TRUMP'S presidency!
Trump ORDERED those guardsmen to be there. That political grandstanding is NOT what they signed up for.
A commander is ALWAYS responsible for those he commands, just as the Criminal President alone was responsible for the largest single day crime wave in Washington DC history on January 6, 2021.
The Criminal President is the reason those young West Virginians are in the hospital. The Criminal President is the ONLY reason why they and all their comrades are not home with their families this Thanksgiving.
A federal judge has determined Trump's deployment of the National Guard in Washington DC is illegal.
The Democratic veterans and these billboards are triggering the MAGA neo-Nazis into a frothing fascist rage. (None of them suggest disobeying legal orders or not defending themselves.)

Billboards Urging National Guardsmen to Refuse Orders from Trump Admin Sprout Up Around Country. Is Dave all in? Of course he is.
Anonymous wants Trump to continue VIOLATING the Constitution.

Judge rules Trump’s DC National Guard deployment was illegal
A federal judge ruled Thursday that President Donald Trump’s deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., was illegal, concluding he lacks authority to send in troops “for the deterrence of crime.”
Anonymous forgot to mention their duty is to not follow ILLEGAL orders. (He'd probably cheer if they could shoot Democrats on sight.)
MAGA = Anti Constitution, Anti Rule of Law, Anti American
Is anonymous MAGA? Of course it is. It is a proud Anti American.
One of 2 National Guard members shot in Washington DC. dies, second remains in critical condition.
20 year-old Army Socialist. Sarah Beckstrom, has died, President Trump said last night, while Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, was in critical condition after undergoing surgery, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said Thursday. Mr. Trump said Wolfe was "fighting for his life."
This make me Mad as hell, and wanting to see the Animal who was responsible for this to be given the most Harsh penalty available !
Roseanne,
That's sad news. My heart goes out to Sarah's family and friends.
The killer won't go unpunished and is now suffering from his own gunshot wounds.
Roseanne... all our hearts go out to the Beckstrom family for their loss. And we hope and pray for a full recovery for Sgt Wolfe.
No one in America should ever die from or be injured because of political violence. No US military personnel or police officers, whether working at schools, malls or even the US Capitol, should ever have to endure political violence like what happened Wednesday in the US Capitol.
And all people arrested and found guilty of this type of violence should face the full consequences of their illegal actions.
On this, I hope we can all agree.
For Your Information
President Trump has been Honored by Time Magazine as Leader of the Entire World
Anonymous,
LOL! Thanks for the joke! It's hilarious how you believe that crap.
Are they still "eating the dogs in Springfield"?
Dave, even the BOTS commenting here are idiots and unable to discern misinformation from reality.
Dave, Anon, et al... today we are hearing that after early military strikes on boats in the Caribbean, there were survivors. Instead of mounting a rescue effort for those still living terrorists as we called them, the US Sec Def/War Pete Hegseth, ordered the survivors killed.
This is in direct violation of the Geneva Conventions, to which the US is a signer.
We now also know that Sec of Homeland Security acted in violation of US Law when she sent immigrants, some legal, some here illegally, to CECOT in El Salvador to be confined and tortured, all in defiance of a US Federal judge.
Both of these actions by two political leaders of the US are illegal. One is against the Geneva Conventions, the other a direct violation of US Law.
Dave, why is it so hard for our MAGA supporters to affirm US Law and ignore the Geneva Conventions, which also protect US Military personnel around the globe?
Why is it so hard for our MAGA supporters to affirm US Law and ignore the Geneva Conventions?
But they SAY they're for "law and order", don't they?
What they MEAN is, "Law and order is for people we hate". And, "WE CHOOSE which laws and rules to follow".
We're talking about Right-Wing-Authoritarian personalities here. "RWAs" in John Dean's book, "Conservatives without Conscience". They can make up to 30% of any population.
All dictators and authoritarians with enough power dictate their version of law and order. Along with militarized civilian centers and secret police, it's the essence of fascism, and always features cruelty and injustice for scapegoats, critics, and political opposition.
This is the authoritarian way. Always has been.
No matter the subject , Donald Trump proves he’s the RIGHT leader for action, not just empty talk . From national security to America-first policies, he makes the right, and bold moves that put the American people first . Even in the face of challenges, his strength and results can’t be ignored Action. Strength. Results will Follow!
Sal,
Your beliefs and opinions seem entirely shaped by Trump's lies, FOX(R) propaganda, and radical Right websites.
You think $40 billions to Argentina is "America first", when we have hungry Americans facing cuts in food stamps and sick Americans losing their Medicaid.
His secret police are detaining and terrorizing American citizens.
He pardoned a drug trafficker who sent tons of cocaine to America.
His Secretary of Defense who shared military secrets on unsecured communications is ordering war crimes on the open seas, murdering people without due process.
Billionaires are getting massive tax cuts that MOST Americans oppose.
He envies, admires, and praises evil dictators.
His corrupt AG is prosecuting people he hates by flawed due process with ZERO evidence of crimes .
He pardoned his J6 thugs for terrorizing Congress and beating cops bloody.
No decent person respects that evil asshole.
Note that I am showing FACTS, not indoctrinated worshipful opinions.
You must have a serious man crush on him. No matter the subject.
Dave, and lest we forget... the Trump Administration vetted and approved legal residency for what the President himself called a terrorist, the man who killed and injured another National Guard member last week.
Maybe Sal can tell us why President Trump approved residency for such a terrorist into the US and whose administration is responsible for the death of Sarah Beckstrom.
President Trump and his allies let a killer loose in our country. Why? Maybe he doesn't really care about America.
See how this works Sal?
The ONLY thing that ignorant comment proves, is that you Really Are An Idiot
Sal,
Only idiots accuse others of ignorance and idiocy without a rational explanation or quote from the accused. Parrots can squawk, "You're an idiot!"
You may THINK you're coming across as intelligent, but that would be your delusion or Dunning Kruger Effect showing.
IF you want to appear intelligent, learn what that is.
It's a beautiful thing!
The more ole sal burps the more he reveals his deep ignorance and delusions. We should thank him for showing us how NOT to be.
Notice Sal I never post anything that cannot be backed up or supported by, you know, actual evidence.
Now, you may not like the evidence, but you cannot deny the evidence. I know that's hard for people like you who just post gruel.
People like Sal have authoritarian personalities. This is measurable and obvious to rational observers.
They are authoritarian FOLLOWERS who need their authoritarian LEADERS to tell them what to believe, who to blame and hate, and not how to think rationally or seek any forbidden knowledge the Leader doesn't want them to learn.
Thus, anyone off their indoctrinated script will be attacked as "fake news" or a "communist".
Like in every cult, non-believers are seen as evil agents of the devil, who refuse to see the glorious light of their dear leader's infallible wisdom.
They lack the information and critical thinking skills to engage in good faith dialogue.
And that's why they need to call us idiots. It's all they CAN do.
No I didn’t notice, because I don’t read anything that you submit.
I IGNORE it .
I guess you would have Joe BIDUMB as your President, that’s how STUPID YOU ARE
I never tire of being proven correct. ;-)

Anonymous,
You wrote, "Mark Kelly, let me be brutally clear: You went from serving this country… to betraying the very troops you once stood beside."
I will post the rest of your comment IF you cite the law he broke or the specific section of the UCMJ he violated.
Use his exact words, then make your argument. Let's see if you're up to it, or are just spewing hateful Trump bullshit.
We'll wait.
He won't do it Dave, cause he can't. Sure, he'll couch it in [see what I did there JD] his "I don't read anything" terms, which is in fact probably literally true, because then he doesn't have to admit or show he has no critical thinking skills.
You're right, Dave.
The MAGA cult has no use for critical thinking, curiosity, learning, or good faith discussion. They're trapped in a world of delusion and emotion. They FEEL like they should lash out at "the enemy within", but can't even defend their claims and accusations with facts and evidence.
And that frustrates and annoys them into further depths of spiraling anger and hate.
These are quite miserable people doing their best to make others miserable.
So I laugh and mock them. Yes, I know it's not constructive, but nothing is with them. All they want is destruction of what they fear and don't understand.
Dave, I think the word you wanted was "deplorable".
What an anonymous Nazi would say for a thousand, Alex.
"Iranian-Run, Soros-Funded Billboards Urge Soldiers to Disobey Orders
This is not only sedition; it’s a national security threat. And liberals are ok with this."
"Iranian run" is a lie.
"Soros funded". So, what? It's called free speech.
Billboards were primarily funded by the the veterans group Not What You Signed Up For.
"Disobey orders" is a lie. They clearly said ILLEGAL orders per UCMJ.
"Sedition" is a lie. "National security threat" is a lie. "Liberals are ok with this" is a lie.
Nazis have ALWAYS hated and lied about liberals. And they are always ok with war crimes and murder of people their Leader wants killed.
Yup.
"Deplorable" per Merriam-Webster: deserving censure or contempt;
Anon...
Per the DOD Rules of War, it is against US and international maritime law, even in war, to kill survivors of a ship bombing. The military must rescue and take care to safeguard the survivors.
Those rules and laws, written by the US after Japanese military killed US Navy members in WWII after their Kamikaze attacks.
Your defense, and at this point, any other defender of the DOD, is a weak tea repeat of the excuses we heard after the My Lai Massacre and the Abu Gharib prison scandal.
Here's the real deal on illegal orders:
https://nlgmltf.org/military-law/2025/faq-on-refusing-illegal-orders/
MILITARY LAW TASK FORCE
Do I have the right to refuse illegal orders?
Yes! All members of the military have the right, and in some cases have the duty, to refuse illegal orders. Your oath is to the Constitution (which incorporates international treaties ratified by the U.S. on human rights and the law of war), not to the Commander-In-Chief or to any other individual in the chain of command.
Under the UCMJ, a servicemember may be punished by court-martial for failure to obey any lawful general order or regulation. The UCMJ does not define what “lawful” means. The Rules for Courts-Martial say that an order is lawful, “unless it is contrary to the Constitution, the laws of the United States, or lawful superior orders or for some other reason is beyond the authority of the official issuing it.” The Rules go on to say that, “This inference does not apply to a patently illegal order, such as one that directs the commission of a crime.” Finally, the Rules say, “The lawfulness of an order is a question of law to be determined by the military judge.” That determination normally can be made only after a servicemember refuses or obeys an order, in a court martial or a war crimes tribunal.
MAGA neo-Nazis don't follow the law, just the orders from their CRIMINAL Fuhrer and his henchmen.
See January 6, 2021.
Excuse me, but I never bother to read any of the SHIT written by a Horse's Ass like you.
Anonymous,
If you never read what I write, HOW can you determine whether it's shit or not?
Only someone with shit for brains would say something so stupid.
Thanks for proving me correct...again.
Born in ignorance there are some who simply determine to remain in ignorance. Anymouse above is obviously one of those so inclined. They have chosen to heed only that which confirms their conditioning. Their efforts are spent finding whatever supports their biases and truth be damned.
Conservative means to preserve the status quo. Even when conditions and circumstances change, as they are continously doing. But for the anymouses of conserva-land the reification of their own cherished beliefs (true or not) is all that is important to them.
There's a reason tRump and his MAGA movement loves uneducated and undereducated folk. They're easily conned and manipulated. Hitler knew this. So does tRump.
Where do you draw the line?
The Communist - Progressive-Democratic party has a severe antisemitism problem and we are not willing to overlook or excuse it.
I’m here to call it out no matter what, and I couldn’t care less what they say. or think where it comes from.
Because I don’t play politics when it comes to mine or my families life and neither should you.
Dave, maybe he just looks at the pictures? Maybe he's illiterate? Maybe like Trump he struggles with the written word?
Seriously, how does he know we're not writing words of praise of Trump and folks like him? Does he consult his Magic 8 Ball or the Ouija Board?
Suzanne,
How quickly, and conveniently, you ignore all the antisemitism in MAGA.
Your messiah praised and pardoned the recently re-arrested "Camp Auschwitz" J6 thug.
He welcomed antisemites Kanye West and Nick Fuentes to Mar-a-Lago.
Look what your hero Charlie Kirk said about Jews:
“Jews have been some of the largest funders of cultural
Marxist ideas and supporters of those ideas over the last
30 or 40 years…Jewish communities have been pushing
the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to
want people to stop using against them. The philosophical
foundation of anti-whiteness has been largely financed
by Jewish donors." – Charlie Kirk, racist antisemite
Here's where I draw the line.
IF you're Jewish and using the same demonization tactic as Hitler did by falsely accusing Democrats and progressive of being communists, you dishonor all of Hitler's victims as you emulate his evil smears.
When Jews like you and Stephen Miller act like Nazis, I'm here to call it out no matter what.
If there is "ANYTHING that Lester is an Expert in it's definitely deep Ignorance
Dave Miller. you Wish that You Could be as illiterate as he is!
Sal,
For such smart guy why can't you set us straight with some facts?
Here you go. Just fill in the blanks to show us how wise and literate you are:
“Dave, Les, and Dave, I have to say you are stating falsehoods by claiming (_____) and (_______). These verifiable facts and evidence (_____) and (____) suggest you are quite mistaken.”
If you can't even fill in the blanks, you are the ignorant one. If you need to LIE, you are the LIAR.
Which is it, sport? "Both" is an acceptable answer. ;-)
Suzanne,
Maybe you should read what you wrote again...or do you think we should be jealous of your ignorance and illiteracy?
Suzanne... believe me, I have no desire at all to be as "illiterate" as Sal and Anon. I value reading, writing and 'rithmetic. So illiteracy of no interest to me.
I'm still waiting for someone, anyone here, to bring some actual evidence or links to refute anything I've written with, you know, actual facts.
The DOD rules I posted are easily verifiable and in fact, there is video of a young Pete Hegseth in 2016 affirming exactly what I've written about those DOD rules.
Come on guys, you can do it. Or are you just going going to spout off with no facts or evidence and show off your inability to deal with real facts?
BTW Sal, Suzanne and Anon... here's how GOP Senator Rand Paul explained the recent illegal strike on the "drug boat" in the Caribbean...
"It looks to me like they're trying to pin the blame on somebody else and not them. Secretary Hegseth said he had no knowledge of this and it did not happen. It was fake news. It didn't happen. And then the next day, from the podium of the WH, they're saying it did happen. So either he was lying to us on Sunday or he's incompetent and didn't know what had happened."
Maybe one of you can explain where Sen Paul is incorrect or wrong.
See how actual evidence works?
Like overgrown toddlers, all the MAGA cult can express are their delicate FEELINGS.
Ask them WHY they FEEL that way, and all they can do is regurgitate the cult's tedious and vapid litany of hate and lies from their Toddler Tyrant.
theIr Toddler Tyrant... LOL!
Yes, and The Toddler Tyrant is so imbued of his own ignorance and hate that his ego is always in overdrive crafting his lies and hate. His lies and hate are being absorbed and internalized by the loyal unthinking sheeple of his MAGA scam. Thus creating the environment that may very well erupt into the kind of violence that so many other countries suffering under tyrannical and unethical leadership have experienced.
This nation is sleepwalking itself right into that kind of potential hell with its eyes wide open. tRump learned well from his hero, Adolf Hitler.
Also... MAGA is a verb. One eating away at the intelligence, compassion, empathy, and indeed the very soul of this nation.
MAGA is American fascism. It's leader is a racist criminal supported by evil rapacious oligarchs, evil avaricious corporatists, and evil white nationalists.
I think the true nature of MAGA is quite clear.
Yet 30-40 percent of Americans continue to worship the Toddler Tyrant . I imagine it is the same 30-40 percent that accused Americans who supported President Obama of worshipping evil. You know the Nigerian Halfrican they fabricated in their hateful racist minds.
It Should Be Interesting to See How the Stock Market Responds Today.As it has been getting Slammed daily!
The endless taunts, jibes, prevarication and calumny of the Stock Market are becoming less and less relevant to American citizens, as the Market has been getting hurt on a daily basis.
Could this be because of the Nervousness of the Democrats, who are getting Slammed on a daily basis?
The Democrats' nervousness stems from deep anxiety about Donald Trump's potential return, concern over former President Biden's age and approval ratings and especially after getting slaughtered in the debates, internal divisions on party direction too liberal vs. elite, narrowing paths to House majorities, and general worries about economic stability and political polarization, leading many to feel fear, anger, and a sense of crisis despite moments of enthusiasm for their lousy choice of candidates like Kamala Harris, and soon to be Gavin Newsom. Many of the Democrats, Progressives, and whatever fear the party's image isn't just damaged, but it's COMPLEXLY broken!
Herr Obersturmbannfuhrer Angus,
Reality check.
The Market is doing better than the people and farmers, who have seen a 50% rise in bankruptcies. Trump is already wanting a $14 billion bailout for them out for their losses due to his tariffs.
Nervousness?
Did you hear MTG describing how much Republicans are TERRIFIED of disagreeing with Trump because of the inevitable DEATH THREATS?
This is why only Republicans approve of Trump and their party. Deal with it.
Since June Trump's overall approval rating has hovered between 40 and 45%.
His ratings on immigration have fallen under 50% since June, and far lower on the economy, trade, and inflation.
https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-silver-bulletin
By "slaughtered in the debates" you mean ONE debate between Biden and Trump where Biden was incoherent and Trump was a raving LIAR.
Harris CLOBBERED him when they faced off. Too bad so many Americans didn't pay attention to that one.
Maybe they'll pay attention to the DISHONOR Trump has brought to the White House, and his henchman's DISHONOR he's bringing to our military for murdering helpless human beings who've not even been convicted of crimes.
Tourists are avoiding coming the America in record numbers. Figure that one out.
Enjoy your fantasies of superiority, Herr Obersturmbannfuhrer.
Perhaps Herr Obersturmbannfuhrer Angus had a reason to ignore this recent election?
Per Dave:
The Dem candidate in Miami had a 7% edge in turnout over the GOP. It's called a D+7 electorate. She won by 19 points, gaining many GOP and Independent votes. This was an area Trump won in 2024.
One more recent tidbit for Herr Obersturmbannfuhrer Angus to ignore:
Democrat Eric Gisler flipped a Georgia state vacated by a Republican.
Trump's best approval rating since June can only make 45%.
Dave... these are the Alice in Wonderland in is out upside down Americans.
They believe what they believe, evidence be damned.
They can't talk around it, avoid it or ignore it. Trump is killing the economy, has no clue what he is doing and the GOP, unable to separate from him, will be going down in flames unless there's a rapid, huge turn around.
Yes, Dave. There is no reasoning with a cult who believes their malevolent mendacious messiah's word is gospel and was sent by Jesus to save America.
Truly a manifestation of gullible DERANGEMENT. All because they HATE liberals and minorities.
I for one would welcome the GOP going down in a great ball of fire. For it is precisely what tRump cult of delusional nitwits deserves, in spades!
Les,
Instead, thanks to the six corrupt and extremist Supreme Court "Justices" protected a mobster, the Constitution and equal justice under law went down in flames.
Yeah, and a rebuild, if it ever happens will take yeas if not decades.
The country may never recover if the Criminal President never faces justice and his consiglieres on the Supreme Court don't get removed for betraying our Constitutional rule of law.
This will only set the stage for more tyranny in the future.
I actually now share your views 1000% on that point. The 6 criminal scotus "justices" serve not justice but the whims of a criminally deranged tyrant.
Dave, I'm gonna go with two corrupt and extremist SCOTUS "justices". I see Justices Roberts, Gorsuch and Barrett as "regular" conservatives, what I would expect from most normie GOP presidents. Kavanaugh, for me at least, falls in between these three and the crazies.
Thomas and Alito are beyond the pale. Anyone justice who calls for revisiting not just Roe, but Griswold and Obergefell, and somehow leaves out Loving, for obvious reasons, is not Constitutionally adept enough to be on the court.
And Alito, Mr Flag of Anarchy, well what can we say.
The Dem's best, and by extension America's best hope, is a Dem wipeout in both 2026 and 2028. Then an addition of 4 SCOTUS seats to give us one judge for each US District Court of Appeals, plus one to break any ties.
But, of course any change comes with risk of manipulation by another Trumplike figure in the future. But we've got to start somewhere.
BTW... Trump, who will be certifiably mentally ill when he leaves office, either in 2029 or through the 25th amendment, will never face trial, or jail for his crimes.
But he will forever be in the history books as a felon. So there's that.
Dave,
We've seen a few "reasonably" conservative opinions from Barret, Roberts and Gorsuch, but when they joined the other three they blatantly obstructed justice by redefining 18 U.S. Code § 1505 - Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees, on Trump's behalf, it became clear they were representing the criminal's interests, therefore a corruption of justice.
They stalled on his behalf when it served their boss, and rushed anything that would benefit him, like the blatantly unconstitutional notion of "presidential immunity".
In my humble, or not so humble, opinion that extreme partisanship and betrayal of their oath to the Constitution and justice itself is corruption, dereliction of duty, and an impeachable offense.
They assured Trump would NOT be convicted of his crimes. I cannot see how that is not crooked and corrupt.
This is why Trump will never face justice. If that guides us to significant reform, then maybe history will decide properly. If not, then the republic is dead. Dictatorship will have its pathway opened.
As we think about extremism... I recall in many conservative nominee hearings in our recent history, a desire not to affirm Brown v Topeka, a landmark Civil Rights decision.
This is all a part of nominees wanting to be as obtuse and non transparent as possible.
How can a nominee, and they are on the SCOTUS not affirm Brown? And if they can't, don't be a chicken, tell us why. But they don't. I know both Barrett and Kavanaugh demurred on this.
Why does the GOP approve nominees who won't affirm this landmark decision? I wonder if Dems should just adopt this strategy...
Do you affirm Marbury? Brown? Griswold? Obergefell? Chevron? Roe?
And vote accordingly.
It would be interesting to see the list of lies court nominees tell to get the job.
"That's settled law", is probably the most frequent.
