The guardsmen yanked from their real lives and paying jobs to pick up trash for Trump - and everyone else in the military - must be thrilled about not getting paid.

More: The institution is increasingly polarizing: Forty-two percent of Americans approve of the job the high court is doing, and there's a massive 65-point gap in its approval rate between Republicans and Democrats. The percentage of Americans who say they have at least a fair amount of confidence in the federal judiciary is also at a near-record low of 49%.

More: "All I've had from them so far, from the people I've talked to, is a combination of disbelief that some of them were made to fly from, some of them, Asia, from all over the world ... all the way to Quanico to listen to the same familiar type of culture war complaints that we've been having since Trump was reelected," she added, calling Trump's remarks a "campaign-style stump speech."

"Nothing that was said today could not have been put in an email or in a directive. So there's that, to begin with. There's also the fact that so much of this was partisan, and this is a military that is supposed to present itself as nonpartisan. So you didn't hear the kind of cheering that we usually get, because President Trump is used to playing for the type of crowds that favor him," Cooper explained. "And so he's not very used to performing in front of an audience that's just giving, looking back stone-faced. But that's what you were getting from these generals."

The other thing she noted is that she's gotten "so many emails from women in the military" who are seeing this as a message "that they are not welcome."

So the "deal" is he's just holding back on his tariffs for the next 3 years for companies that kiss his a55?

More: Trump said he was ready to fire officials who he doesn't like, echoing his Pentagon chief, Pete Hegseth, who was originally slated to be the sole keynote speaker at the event.

"If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room," Trump said to some laughter from the crowd of hundreds " nearly all uniformed military brass. "Of course, there goes your rank. There goes your future. But you just feel nice and loose, OK? Because we're all on the same team."

Make no mistake here, this is the US President declaring war on major American cities.

Not a single patriot in the room there at Quantico. Shame.

Well I was going to buy Battlefield 6.

More: May was the main driver of the ultra-conservative Freedom Caucus, a splinter group of conservative Republicans who shunned party moderates. During a debate on transgender care for minors on the House floor in January 2024, May argued that: "We as legislators have an obligation to ensure that our children have no harm done to them."

It is worth noting to the folks cheering these indictments, Comey and Bolton who will be close on Comey's heals are both lifelong Republicans. Your dear leaders aren't owning libs here but eating your own.

More: In Petro's final speech before the U.N. in New York on Tuesday, he observed (according to a live translation from the U.N.) that the world is in a "different situation" than it was when he first addressed the international body in 2022.

"The old societies of Europe are collapsing," he said, "and the United States is applauding its new Hitler. It's not listening to its own young people, or its older people who died in the battlefields of Europe, fighting against Hitler and against his criminal ideology. Today, the same thing is being done as Hitler did, building concentration camps for migrants, and it's stated that migrants are of an inferior race, and they blame them just like Hitler blamed the Jews. They call them drug traffickers and thieves."

In stressing the need for climate action, Petro said of Trump: "The most powerful man in the world does not believe in science. That is irrationality. And Germany, the country of great philosophers, of Kant, Feuerbach, and others, became prey of irrationalism in 1933, and today it's this country that is becoming irrational. The solution is to stop consuming fossil fuels and to quickly switch to water, wind, hydrogen."

He also described Trump as "an accomplice to genocide" in Gaza. "This forum," he said of the U.N., "is a mute witness to a genocide, in a world where we thought that this was something only a legacy of Hitler."

"A kind of stone age," he said earlier in his remarks, has seemingly "descended on all of humankind""citing inaction on the climate crisis, Trump's strikes on "unarmed young people in the Caribbean," Israeli strikes "that have killed some 70,000 people in Gaza," and "the persecution, imprisonment, and expulsion of millions of migrants."

The Colombian president denied Trump's claim that the people on the Venezuelan boats the U.S. bombed (on shaky legal ground) earlier this month were trafficking drugs. "They said that the missiles in the Caribbean were used to stop drug trafficking," Petro said. "That is a lie."

"There should be criminal cases against those officials of the United States for doing this, including the utmost official, President Trump," he said, "that allowed the shooting of missiles against these young people who were simply trying to escape poverty""who "might have had a certain amount of drugs," he added, but "were not drug traffickers."

The U.S. mainstream media, for its part, has largely ignored his comments.

I bet Mr Comey wishes he had never opened his stupid mouth about that Clinton "investigation" back in 2016 right about now.

"AmErIcA FiRsT!!!!"

More of that Republican "free speech."

I think we should make it easier for American born students to go to medical school. Put a pause on accepting foreign students. That's putting America first for a change.

Odd that the Benghazi folks don't seem to care about this at all.

British rule was disastrous for them as it was for most places the Brits colonized. Not as bad as when the Israelis came but they do have a point.

Which is why they will be able to sue the ---- out of the government if they make this announcement.

More: The senior official explains that there is no process per se for dealing with trans people as a "threat group," but feels that trans individuals will be increasingly targeted under the banner of "violent extremism."

Under the plan being discussed, the FBI would treat transgender suspects as a subset of the Bureau's new threat category, "Nihilistic Violent Extremists" (NVEs).

The Trump administration first created the NVE designation earlier this year to replace the Biden-era label "Anti-Authority and Anti-Government Violent Extremists" (AGAAVE), created to categorize January 6 rioters and other right-wing groups.

The new classification, sources say, gives Trump officials political (and media) cover. Rather than directly naming transgender people as some enemy, the White House has preferred euphemisms like "gender ideology extremism."
