Bondi did not answer directly when asked (by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.) if the FBI found photographs of Trump "with half-naked young women"

She did all she could to deflect and attack, and then went oddly silent on that issue. She didn't dare perjure herself.

"The Epstein files are on my desk." - Pam Bondi

"Donald Trump is in the Epstein files." - Pam Bondi

"You took that quote out of context." - Pam Bondi

The above summary is taken directly from the New York Times and should be in quotes and attributed as such. You will find it verbatim in the linked article.

She really does. She's so unbelievably partisan - beyond all boundaries. It is inconceivable that she operates on any principle of fairness, integrity, honesty. She was a crook in Florida, corrupt as they come, and she remains so.

oh - and look indignant.

She should get an award for really bad acting.

Deflect, lie, deflect, lie, deflect, lie.

Good for her. Anyone who annoys both the far left and the far right can't be that bad.
List the far-right that is annoyed: _______________.

It's a sure sign that I'm right and getting under someone's skin because they can't think of a substantial retort whenever that card is played.

You made a statement that you can't even begin to back up with a single real example. You can't name who is "far left."
Now you look like an idiot for trying to make that ridiculous false equivalence.

This is why they cover their faces.
They are deliberately terrorizing us.
Black Hawk helicopters, repelling down, destroying all the doors in an apartment complex-
dragging and zip-tieing people, children, some naked, out of their beds.
Shooting a pastor in the head while he was praying using (less-lethal projectiles), but damn! What an image.

This is intentional.
Dressing ICE and CBP up in battle fatigues, arming them with rifles for what reason?
To get us use to seeing the military in our streets. To terrorize us?
They are marching up and down Michigan Avenue, ferchrissakes.
They were running boats up and down the river all dressed up as military.

At least they got a highly produced video out of it for who knows what? Mutual ------------ sessions with Stephen Miller? Recruitment for ICE Force Zero?

Buckle up. This is just the start.

And the fascists complain they are being treated poorly?
Fcck them, fcck ICE, fcck Noem, fcck Trump.

I read the headline in comments and instantly knew it was Boaz.
LMAO!

So, I guess I'm hearing that right-wing terrorism, which has DOMINATED us for years, has subsided a bit with the election of Donald "I am your retribution" Trump? Is that what's going on?

All the time the retribution campaign against everyone else is being ramped up.

I think Boaz and his ilk are itching for a Civil War and ICE is one means they're using to make it happen.

Legum's article also pointed out that just "days before Bessent's announcement Citrone purchased more Argentine bonds." ...

Unless you're "in", you ain't shht.

This is next level stupid.
It is stunning.

And now the other clowns are doing this to Trump over free health care for illegals.

Such a stupid talking point made entirely of lies - and you swallow it and repeat it. You are brainless, which is why America is fcdked.

Well, that was sad. On so many fronts.

Gotta wonder what they all were thinking when their CInC lied about the election being stolen.

Just listened to Trump ramble on about paper.

That was... yeah.

"Biden autopen" except for "his son's pardon. That one he signed."

rambling, muttering, mumbling, whining, and totally insufferable,

Thoughts I would expect a few in attendance are thinking?
I flew half way around the world for THIS?

And now...
Trump.

A day like any other day in Trumplandia, filled with batsheet boolsheet and batsheet braggadocio.

It was - odd.

Damn! Generative AI summarizes it already!

During his speech, Hegseth railed against military leaders he claimed were focused on "wokeness" and a "Department of Woke," rather than lethality. He used derogatory terms like "dudes in dresses" and suggested that officers who disagree with his direction should leave the service, a statement that drew immediate outrage.

He criticized military personnel for being overweight, stating it was "tiring to look out at combat formations... and see fat troops" and "completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals".

The Secretary also announced new, stricter physical standards, stating that "If women can make it, excellent. If not, it is what it is". Critics noted this contradicts his confirmation hearing testimony where he walked back his previous opposition to women in combat.

Hegseth's dismissal of military regulations was also a target for criticism. He announced new, stricter grooming standards, saying "no more beardos".

I won't bother with what Trump says.
He is way too insufferable to deal with.

Silences as Hegseth walks off stage.
The Washington Post March plays.
Milling around while standing in place.
Waiting for something else to happen.
Music continues to play. Over and over.
Waiting for Trump to show up.
Government shutdown clock continues to count down on screen.

Camera cuts to Trump answering questions from the Press on his way to the helicopter (moments ago).
Trump spouts lie after lie. Silliness. Trump keeps yammering on and on.
Split screen - our military leaders waiting for Trump to show up.

10 directives meant to take the monkey off your backs.
"no more walking on eggs shells policy"
"we are liberating you."
"all standards will be the "gender neutral" male standard" (?)
"adverse information on records will no longer be permanent"
" promotions will be based on one thing: merit"
"PT done by everyone"
"Appearance" will be enforced, no "beardos,"
Apparently he's changed the DOD from "The Woke Department" to "The War Department"
Anyone that benefited from the "Woke" department have been rooted out and fired, and this will continue.
More leadership changes will be made because we must do.

"If what I'm saying today is making your hearts sink, do the honorable thing and resign."
We need you locked into the "M" not the "D" "E" or "I." No more debris. (Hey, I'm only reporting what he's saying...)

Behavior of our Troops online will be monitored and complaining will not be tolerated.

It's going on and on. Lots of "WOKE Department" belittlement of everything from after 1990 to Hegseth. Instilling "healthy fear" through Drill Sergeants will be used to "motivate" is back in. "Every Marine a Rifleman" is now for all branches.

Oddly, lots of "Christianity" referenced, used.

We have to prepare every day for war, not defense. War you do sparingly, clear goals, unleashing everything. We don't fight with stupid ROE. No "politically correct" ROEs. You kill people and break things for a living. You are different.

I'm sure a full transcript will be available as well as analysis. I tried to capture a little bit of the flavor.

Andrew Mccabe said he lied, not me.

Gym time - I'll check back later to be elucidated on this subject...

BTW - Trump is completely insufferable in this press conference with Bibi. His mumbling, drifting, pronunciations, wondering off - and blabbering is too much to bear. I'll look for a summary of anything of value that he eventually may end up saying.
