Bros Will Be Bros: Hegseth Intervenes in Kid Rock Flyby

Originally published at: Bros Will Be Bros: Hegseth Intervenes in Kid Rock Flyby

‘Carry On, Patriots’ It is one of the burdens of the Trump era that the silliest, most absurd things often implicate grave matters of historic import. The Republic will not rise or fall on Army helicopter pilots joyriding over the Tennessee mansion of Kid Rock, but the civilian secretary of defense intervening for political purposes…

This is the Jamie Raskin issue - he says the DoJ has and is using info from the permanently banned from release Muller report. It’s denied, he’s a liar, but…

The latest dispute stems from a March 13 DOJ production to the House Judiciary Committee the committee’s top Democrat, Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland, said included non-public materials covered by Cannon’s earlier secrecy rulings in the classified-documents case. DOJ disputes that, saying neither Cannon’s order nor grand-jury secrecy rules were violated.

We didn’t do it, he’s lying!
We might have done it, but it wasn’t illegal, so he’s still lying
Maybe we shouldn’t have done it, but how did he know it?
We did it, so what. Big deal.

Word for the day: Tradcuck

A conservative who enjoys a hypocritical life of pretending to have an ample bosom and tacitly enjoying his wife’s affairs while casting aspersions against people who are just trying to live their lives.

How does Penn even have a “list of Jews”? Was there a box to check on the admissions form? Were all the admitted issued Yellow Stars to sew on their clothes?

To all of the lawyers and legal scholars who have said that the Birthright Citizenship case is a no go and the letter of the law is absolutely crystal clear, I fervently hope you are right. This entire thing smells like Dobbs to me but worse, and I have absolutely no faith in the majority of the court to pay any attention to the actual law or precedent when an ideological pet issue of theirs is on the line.

Trump repeats claims of Iran ‘regime change’

Reuters has published further remarks from Donald Trump in its phone interview with the US president.

:backhand_index_pointing_right:When asked if he was thinking about pulling the US out of Nato, he said: “Oh, absolutely without question. Wouldn’t you do that if you were me?”

He added: “They haven’t been friends when we needed them. We’ve never asked them for much … it’s a one-way street.”

He also expressed his hope for a deal with the new leaders in Iran after airstrikes killed supreme leader Ali Khamenei.

He again claimed that there has been a “full regime change” in Iran, adding: “I’m dealing with a very good chance that we’ll make a deal because they don’t want to be blasted anymore.

“I didn’t need regime change, but we got it because of the casualties of war. We got it. So we have regime change and the big thing we have is they’re not going to have a nuclear weapon. Nor do they want one.”

As for the enriched uranium still possessed by Iran, Trump said: “That’s so far underground, I don’t care about that.

“We’ll always be watching it by satellite.”
