“Are you going to tell the truth…or lie? Your choice-and remember you are under oath and this could come back to bite you in the ***!!”. Well….something like that! haha
She should, and may, be brought up on charges of murder for killing Good and Pretti. Bovino as well. They all need to be publicly tried. Justice must come out of this on-going coup, and that includes trump...the SC 'immunity' be damned. Let the state AG's bring the charges.
it is not ONLY for those murders she should be brought up - routinely smashing car windows to pull people out of cars - including moms in school pick up lines b/c they pose a threat - what might also be addressed is ICE casually and constantly throwing people down onto the street or sidewalk pavement then 20 of them piling on said hapless person - if that happened to me I would literally die - I'm elderly & I have severe claustrophobia - my heart would give out - and NO ONE can readily survive this treatment and harm without developing PTSD - people treated thusly should pursue legal action against ICE, NOEM & Trump - it is a violation amongst violations
Liars lie Tess, Bondi will lie, grandstand and bloviate, as she’s done for many years, with little consequence. She may be charged with perjury, however… Trump will be issuing a plethora of pardons before this thing gets put to bed!
Let's go back to the 'BEGINNING' - IRAN WAS ABIDING TO ITS AGREEMENT THAT WAS BEING INSPECTED...TRUMP ABANDONED THE AGREEMENT
MINNESOTA can bring charges that TRUMP can't PARDON!
What was done in MINNESOTA has been documented on VIDEO!
ICE GESTAPO EXECUTED 2 AMERICAN CITIZENS ON VIDEO...among other MASSIVE ABUSE...fired AMMUNITION against PEACEFUL PROTESTERS, including the young man across the street who lost his eyesight as a consequence of ICE GESTAPO OUT-OF-CONTROL LUNACY!
THIS IS TRUMP DEMOCRATIC DESTRUCTION INFLICTED ON COMMUNITIES THAT VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION!
BREAKING INTO HOMES? UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

If he does decide to initiate another military conflict, it almost certainly won’t involve any ground operations. Trump took office saying he would end America’s “forever wars,” but only those who weren’t listening very closely believed he had no appetite for overseas military adventurism. Trump loves a good bombing campaign, but favors operations that are quick, involve minimal risk to US personnel, and don’t require him to clean up after whatever mess he made.
In the first year of his second term, Trump bombed seven different countries: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Venezuela, Somalia, and Nigeria. That’s not exactly a record of restraint, but it shows how he likes to operate.
Though Iran’s ballistic missiles and proxy groups are part of the official rationale, Trump is focused on the country’s efforts to develop its nuclear capacity. That’s why it’s so important to remember that we had an agreement with Iran that did, in fact, constrain its nuclear program. It was called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and it was painstakingly negotiated by the US, Russia, China, France, Germany, and the UK, and finalized in mid-2015. In exchange for sanctions relief, it put in place a monitoring system to ensure that Iran could not enrich uranium beyond what was necessary for civilian use. (Iran has always claimed, not very persuasively, that it has no intention to build nuclear bombs.)
When Trump took office in 2017, his own military and national security advisers tried to convince him that the JCPOA was working and would stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. But because it was negotiated under Barack Obama, Trump convinced himself that it was a disaster, and in 2018 he abandoned the agreement. To no one’s surprise, Iran then resumed its efforts to reach the capacity to produce nuclear weapons, leading us toward the place we are now.
He hasn’t even tried to persuade anyone
While Americans are well used to the cycle we’re in — escalating tensions, belligerent statements from both sides, a seemingly unstoppable march to war — there has been a gaping void where we normally find a vigorous propaganda effort.
We all know how it works: The president gives a big speech explaining what his goals are, administration representatives fan out to make the case, members of Congress debate whether it’s a good idea, diplomats are sent to persuade allies that they should join in the effort, and all of that creates waves of news coverage and analysis that help the public understand what’s at stake and what the potential outcomes are.
In its extreme version (e.g. the Bush administration’s preparation for the Iraq War), the government creates bogus narratives and fake evidence of the terrible danger America is in if we don’t immediately let loose with all our spectacular capacity to rain hellfire down on any country anywhere in the world. But even that presumes that without the legitimacy of public support, the war can’t proceed.
When is Noem going to pay the $220 million for her own self aggrandizement back to the American people? She is a completed disgrace to this country!
Bondi behaved like a spoiled child when she was questioned just a few weeks ago. What’s going to be different this time?? She is also a traitor, a liar and obviously does not believe in the Constitutional oath she took.
Nor does she believe her marital vows count - not ONLY the $220M - & I am SURE tRump ok'd the expense - but the $143M she outright stole! Hats off to Congressman Neguse he uncovered and disclosed in his interview with her that Noem 'paid' $143M to "SafeAmericaMedia" there was no invoice detailing work justifying that payment, the company has no office or physical address/site, no web presence and absolutely no performance record - let alone performance warranting a $143M payday - the company was formed JUST 8 DAYS before that pay-out - she needs to return the $$$ and go to prison for that, if not also for the negligent management of ICE Terrorists - send her to the prison her ICE victims are sent to please
Bondi also did not know what she was talking about - the Dow is $50,000? She is another one - WHO do we think works for the nightmare that is tRump?
These people are fools - from Vance, Rubio, & Hegseth down to KKKaroline - Trump minions NEVER seem to register the number of people who toady up to Trump and get professionally destroyed, take to drink, get disbarred &/or imprisoned. Why do they think they will be different?
Does Noem have something on Trump? She got fired but not kicked out, sent to some non-existent post - Shield of the Americas? The title could be from a Saturday Night Live skit!
It is interesting. I will not be surprised if she is mugged & murdered walking to her car
I would ask Bondi to release all the files with trump’s name, where he was accused of sexually assaulting young children. He needs to be held accountable and prosecuted for his actions. Also all the billionaires that also participated with Epstein. It needs to all come out so the survivors can have justice.
TRump is probably telling Bondi exactly what to release, as far as the Epstein files go. Maybe he has something on her? He's a blackmailer extraordinaire...
We are working on our No Kings marches here in Texas. Also post card writing. We are getting ready for November elections. Also still so damn happy James Talarico is our candidate ! Get ready for a Paxton vs Cornyn knock down fight. Hopefully only helps James!
If I were in TX I think I would be pulling my hair out at 3 more months all the Paxton vs. Cornyn ads.
I have read that often it is only the extreme partisans that show up for runoffs - especially for a run off for a primary!** That might mean Paxton has an advantage in the upcoming GOP runoff. I hope that works to the advantage of TX Dems and Talarico, because I shudder to think of TX represented in the senate by Ted Cruz and Ken Paxton.
** In 2024, there was a GOP run off for Lt. Governor in NC. In the March primary ~928K voted in the GOP primary for that race. In the May runoff it was down to ~130K. IIRC that was the only state-wide runoff in 2024, since a candidate can avoid a runoff if they surpass a 30% threshold vs. 50% in TX.
How do you plan to regain your humanity now that you have treated thousands inhumanly? How do you avoid being seen as the cruelest and lowest of all animal species? We are not aware of anyone else in the Animal Kingdom that enjoys inflicting pain and gets pleasure by doing so.
I'd like to ask Pam Bondi--"You were a very well respected prosecutor in Hillsborough County (Tampa area). What happened to her? Because what you've become under the DeSantis administration and now the Trump regime is the exact opposite of who you used to be. What happened to enable this?
I've heard (or read) that she has illusions of running for president in 2028. Maybe her alleged side piece Cory Lewandowski has been feeding those delusions.

I would ask her and Lutnik this, “ how can you live with yourself?”
I’m so glad to hear all of this. Music to my ears!
When is Noem going to pay the $220 million for her own self aggrandizement back to the American people? She is a completed disgrace to this country!
Bondi behaved like a spoiled child when she was questioned just a few weeks ago. What’s going to be different this time?? She is also a traitor, a liar and obviously does not believe in the Constitutional oath she took.

Me thinks “ Big Max” prison @ Florence Colorado would be a great choice.
Ms Maxwell should be transferred to Big Max as well instead of the cozy, yoga resort that she currently occupies in Texas!
Bondi also did not know what she was talking about - the Dow is $50,000? She is another one - WHO do we think works for the nightmare that is tRump?

Who comes up with the rump branding??
I'm pretty sure that SNL will do a skit on this Saturday! I'm looking forward to it. 😂👍😂
I think he learned that outright firing Cabinet members doesn't look good, electorily.
If you need proof the resistance is winning every day, please stay tuned into the Dworkin Report!
You help keep my faith.
I would ask Bondi to release all the files with trump’s name, where he was accused of sexually assaulting young children. He needs to be held accountable and prosecuted for his actions. Also all the billionaires that also participated with Epstein. It needs to all come out so the survivors can have justice.
Why didn't you investigate and charge others in Florida when you were A.G. for which you had evidence in your possession?
I would ask why did she redact so many people involved and not victims?
That has been asked of her already…. She has avoided that question like the plague!
Doesn't mean she can't be asked again.
TRump is probably telling Bondi exactly what to release, as far as the Epstein files go. Maybe he has something on her? He's a blackmailer extraordinaire...
We are working on our No Kings marches here in Texas. Also post card writing. We are getting ready for November elections. Also still so damn happy James Talarico is our candidate ! Get ready for a Paxton vs Cornyn knock down fight. Hopefully only helps James!
Paxton has to go, has been said repeatedly…Colour me hopeful Mary!
James Talarico has said over and over Hope is a dangerous thing to Republicans! Keep your hope!

Good one, Jacqueline!
Hooray for suburban moms. also one down more to go to loose their jobs they don't know how to do.
I'd like to ask Pam Bondi--"You were a very well respected prosecutor in Hillsborough County (Tampa area). What happened to her? Because what you've become under the DeSantis administration and now the Trump regime is the exact opposite of who you used to be. What happened to enable this?
You won't get an answer but I often wonder the same thing about people who seem to go off the track
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ privilege, status, rides on the big plane, doors open, $$$$$
Yeah, I know that makes sense….but it is so the opposite of the family she grew up in. Her father would be mortified.
What’s the point? They’re both liars
I would want to know if she was ever on the island because pictures of her much younger show it?
$220,000,000 for a marketing project to promote herself? Good Grief. What a waste of money 💰
I've heard (or read) that she has illusions of running for president in 2028. Maybe her alleged side piece Cory Lewandowski has been feeding those delusions.
Cheryl, I believe her decisions and actions as a leader portray a mind not ready to lead a nation.
I agree, but clearly Trump lowered the bar considerably in the minds of GOP hopefuls!
