The reply from Kelly is great, though I do wish he had referenced the fact he must have been blacked out or something. But I guess he is too dignified for that.
Is it a crime to leak false information, as Hegseth claims Kelly did? If what Kelly said was not true (allegedl), then he didn't leak the classified information he was given.
Who could ever have anticipated that all these years (decades) later, SNL could still be hitting it out of the park like they've been with these cold opens..
Ta, Evan. I knew once That Thing in the Offal Office was back in the WH that this maladministration would be a shitshow, I just couldn't fathom the epic proportions of this shitstorm. Now we know.
They haven't explained to the American people what the goal is because they don't HAVE a goal - or a plan. The Commander in Chief is an impulsive baby with an attention span of about fifteen seconds - one minute, at most - and the Defence Secretary, excuse me, War Secretary, is an inept truckling drunk. It's a disgrace that the point has been reached at which rational American people take the leaders of Iran more seriously than they do their own President - and with cause.
"We understand why Hegseth might be confused about what is and what isn’t classified. He doesn’t have much grown-up big boy job experience, especially regarding military or government matters."
Trump : How much money he can criminally obtain (steal, extort , shakedown, take kickbacks, fraud) per day
Homicide Hegseth: How many people he can murder per day
Smashed Patel: How many political opponents he can “investigate” for imaginary “crimes”
DOJ AG of the Day (AG de jour) : How many people they can prosecute for crime less accusations
Someday , if & when, we don’t make the mistake of electing another Dem Prez who won’t prosecute, we elect a President who takes their oath to protect the Constitution seriously, and prosecutes these people to the max.
Point of order: Presidents don’t prosecute. They are not supposed to involve themselves in DOJ decisions at all.
Yes, yes, I know. And I wish Biden had cut Garland loose too, and certainly that he had appointed someone a lot more aggressive. There are ways of sussing that out when choosing an AG and Garland was clearly a miss.
Still. I see this a lot and it gives people the wrong impression. There are a whole lot of things being abused on the right, and I don’t disagree that we should be fighting fire with fire, but this is one separation of powers that we absolutely must protect.
Biden took an oath to protect the country and the Constitution . He didn’t take an oath to not prosecute threats to the Constitution. He is responsible for appointing the AG.. He is responsible for the actions of the DOJ. I have zero , repeat zero tolerance for any excuses for Biden’s failures. And that is my restrained response.
Being naive enough to think that it is the duty of the President to defend the country against ANY enemy attempting &/or engaged in trying to destroy the Constitution and seize control of the United States? Especially when he took an oath to do so?
Presidents don’t prosecute, are not supposed to prosecute, and it’s not in anyone’s interest for them to have that power. Yeah, the filth is shitting all over that norm, so everyone is forgetting that he has no role there, and more importantly why it fucking matters.
I’m in full agreement with you that Garland sucked and that Biden should have done something about it, but I also think that hindsight is 20/20 and we could argue all damn day about exactly when he should have acted or when it became clear that it wasn’t going to be fast enough. Had it not been for Aileen Cannon, Smith very likely would have succeeded.
I’ve written here before that one of the things I’ll be looking for in our next candidate is the assurance that we will not just be “moving on” and that I want one who will appoint the most hair-on-fire, balls-to-the-wall AG we can possibly get to go after every one of these garbage fire so-called people. And yes, we should hold the president accountable if that doesn’t happen.
But I don’t want to see the conflation of the president’s role and the AG’s role, and I sure as hell don’t want any president giving orders or making decisions on whom to go after.
SNL has to portray the Hegseth clusterfuck humorously, but the damage he is doing to our military and our nation are deadly serious. Needless to say, except to the MAGA dumbfucks who do not care.
"And forgive me — forgive me — if women aren’t exactly sprinting toward reproduction because three leathery, formaldehyde-preserved men with powerful “Epstein had them in his Rolodex under a nickname” energy shuffled into the Oval Office demanding fresh labor units for their rotting, rancid little dynasty like the world’s creepiest barbershop quartet sponsored by testosterone gummies and a maritime vlog."

It’s eerie how much Colin Jost looks like Whiskey Pete without using any hair or makeup.
What research has been done re: the development of the human mind in the complete absence of language?
See: Raised by wolves.
The BBC Comedy? It was quite good if I recall!
Hey Whiskey Pete, is a "Captain" different than a Captain?
Whiskey Pete is jelly he never made colonel, the army equivalent to the naval rank of captain.

Remembering what you said last week is for pussies. You never see Trump doing that, do you?
“I LEARNED IT BY WATCHING YOU!”
Hegseth is the guy who gets you and everyone with you thrown out of the party then pukes in the car on the way home.
Just like my ex-BIL.
"We understand why Hegseth might be confused about what is and what isn’t classified. He doesn’t have much grown-up big boy job experience, especially regarding military or government matters."
because he's INCOMPETENT
because he's DRUNK ALL THE TIME
because he's A WHITE NATIONALIST TERRORIST
I would like my gold star now please

How're you doing, Z?

The Trump Cartel job proficiency scale:

Naw. Pathetic excuse.

Oh, don’t feel you have to restrain yourself. You’re free to be as ignorant as you like.
What is ignorant about what I wrote?
Being naive enough to think that it is the duty of the President to defend the country against ANY enemy attempting &/or engaged in trying to destroy the Constitution and seize control of the United States? Especially when he took an oath to do so?
It is an oversimplication of how things work.
Presidents don’t prosecute, are not supposed to prosecute, and it’s not in anyone’s interest for them to have that power. Yeah, the filth is shitting all over that norm, so everyone is forgetting that he has no role there, and more importantly why it fucking matters.

Trump already thinks he has prosecutorial powers. Or if he somehow realizes he doesn't, he's big mad about it.
SNL has to portray the Hegseth clusterfuck humorously, but the damage he is doing to our military and our nation are deadly serious. Needless to say, except to the MAGA dumbfucks who do not care.
MAGA dumbfucks are celebrating their WARFIGHTER. Seriously, Hogsbreath is their new, improved, and upgraded GI Joe.
Except GI Joe is not an incompetent, sexual assaulting souse

I wanna party with JoJoFromJerz!
She's awesome. If I was on social media, I'd definitely be following her.
she's a delight.
I think she's here on Substack? Either that or she's just quoted so often here I think she is.
She has a blog on Substack called "Are You F'ng Kidding Me."
Here's a link to her May 13 entry, "Rawdogging the Apocolypse," and a sample paragraph that had me laughing out loud until my jaw ached:

She's a poet spitting truth.
