"The decision by sr commanders to ignore warnings was made for “expediency”..in a rush to provide targets..
The strike killed at least 168 children and 14 teachers..
US military officials “knew within days (of the strike on the school) how the mistake happened..It was obviously old info.”

Oy! #Ohio
"State Rep. Rodney Creech — accused in state investigative records of climbing into bed with a minor female relative while erect and wearing only his underwear — remains the GOP nominee in House District 40."

cripes. "Trump repeats his insistence that the US should control Greenland"
Y’all, we need to talk about Graham #Platner. I’ve been saying since he miraculously appeared on the political scene, that like #Fetterman, this campaign was a psyop.
Like Fetterman, Platner comes from lots of money. He went to the best schools, his parents paid for him to take a gap year touring Europe, he chose to serve four combat tours, 3 in #Iraq with Marines and then joined the army to kill in #Afghanistan, and THEN joined #Blackwater.
He had an #SS #Totenkopf on his chest for 20 years and tried to claim he didn’t know what it meant. He has a long, documented, history of abusing women.
This populist bullshit story about being an oyster farmer is easily disproven. He made 5k selling oysters, to his mom’s restaurant. That’s just sad.
Just cause someone says they’re on your side, doesn’t mean they really are. And if they’ve been a blackwater wet worker, they are never ever, not even a little bit, on your side.

I'm genuinely confused as to how people can even tell the difference between a dead McConnell and the waxy "real life" version? The real question it seems is how long he has been dead, in fact. I say it's been years, but others are waiting on the advice of a real doctor. Hey, it's your money.
NEW: Ken Paxton Vowed to Crack Down on “Illegal Voting.” He May Have Violated Texas Election Law.
The Texas attorney general appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite his warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.”

Sadly, totally believable.
If these changes are supposed to be about saving T-Mobile money, then why isn’t my bill going to go *down?*

You know, looking at this picture I began to wonder: is she just Stephen Miller in a wig?
https://www.thedailybeast.com/katie-miller-blasts-air-quality-health-warnings-in-washington-after-trumps-fireworks/
In one post, Miller, 34, shared a passage from a Sunday Washington Post story, saying that the newspaper “blames President Trump for the weather.”
This is rich coming from people who literally claimed that the left was controlling the weather to bring down Trump’s July 4th rally.
