"Saudi Arabia has increased exports through eastern ports"

I meant to say western ports

ICE murders people and the DOJ covers it up

Hurtado-Cariaco was originally charged with attempted murder based on government claims but that charge was quickly dropped after the prosecutor was presented with the videos.

You know what the photos do not show? A big cut in the liner that the administration was done by some left wing boogyman that only exists in Trump's dementia addled brain

I'm not an astronomer of any sort but that looks like a comet to me.

Is that a subtle way of saying the Suez Canal?

The Suez connects the Red Sea in the north to the Mediterranean. Bab al-Mandab connects the Red Sea in the south to the Indian Ocean. From a global shipping perspective cutting off either point forces ships to take the longer round around Africa which adds about a week and half to two weeks to the voyage.
Bab al-Mandab has taken on an elevated level of importance to global petroleum trade because Saudi Arabia has increased exports through eastern ports on the Red Sea since the closure of Hormuz. Bab al-Mandab is critical in getting Saudi oil to the global market because of distance to travel but also because the Suez has limited capacity. Fully loaded supertankers cannot navigate the Suez. That would force SA to use smaller ships or offload the supertankers at the SUMED pipeline and refill in the Mediterranean.

no MAGA defending this either.

They feel no need to defend it because they fully approve of corruption when it enriches their cult leaders.

Well die to change to our entire health care system due to obamacare [thought was just for those without med insurance] I have to get a physical twice a year, so I see nothing worn with his getting another physical.

Were you have a stroke when you typed that mess? I think I know why you require frequent doctor visits.

Blanch is the first attorney in US history to defend a President against criminal charges. That's a noteworthy achievement.
Of course he is also the first attorney in US history to fail to successfully defend a President against criminal charges which is far less impressive.

The schedule he is on for visits along with the frequent cognitive screening is pretty similar to that of someone receiving donanemab to treat alzheimer's.

MAGATS don't care. They love corruption when it benefits the cult leaders.

The judge referred Acting AG Todd Blanch and associate AG of DC Stanley Woodward along with private attorney Alejandro Brito to their respective bar associations for discipline. Private attorney Daniel Epstein was banned from practicing in Florida's southern district for a year.

"Department of Public Safety are now on scene to gather details and would expect the FBI to investigate as well"

LOL. All the FBI is going to do is hide evidence from local and state authorities in an attempt to cover for ICE.

Graham was one of the leading voices in Congress in misleading the country into launching both the Iraq and Iran wars. May the murderous liar rot in hell.

Trump is insane

MAGATS are going to have to boycott Walmart because they called their cult leader out on a lie.

Trump loves gives pardons to fraudsters.

ICE murders Americans and the DoJ covers for them.

That's exactly what I would do if I was looking to rig elections.

Doesn't matter. Republicans don't care if other republicans break the law. They love criminals as long as they vote along with them.

"Don't use Waymo, folks. If that's the only option, walk to the nearest hotel and find a taxi stand."

Worth repeating.

"Bellows and Shah both essentially tied Collins at 47 percent and 45 percent, respectively."

To put it another way, imagine if the primary demographic for covid hospitalizations/deaths had been men under the age of 40.

That's about 1% of Russia's total population. Imagine if the US was invaded another country only to sustained 3.5 million casualties with more than 1 million (mostly men in the prime of their lives) dead.

That is what Putin has delivered to Russia.
