American Politics

[Spidy]

Double Tap is a bad ass nickname. I wish I could get a cool nickname like that.

Yeah, I have no doubt, should he find himself jailed for murder and war crimes, the nickname "Double Tap" will serve him well, in the jail prison showers.

Honestly, ... Would I prefer a squeaky clean government under Trump, absolutely. But do I and the American people really care about this inconsequential shit. Nope.

Since when was MURDER inconsequential? Make no mistake about it, many lawmakers report the 22 strikes were MURDER! The Legal Consequences of Pete Hegseths Kill Them All Order, December 1, 2025 https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and...them-all-order

Is it any wonder that Admiral Alvin Holsey, wanted no part of this murderous illegal strikes? He was right to retire, rather than be a patsy to Hegseth and company.

So many more real issues to focus on. Securing border, removing dangerous illegals, securing trade deals, keeping stock and real estate market strong, tough on crime, fighting cartels, fighting inflation. Those are the things that really matter. Dems just have nothing else to report so they blow this stuff way out of proportion and the TDS crowd buys right into it like the sheep they are.

Amidst the grifting, corruption, sympathizing with pedophiles and murder, are all pretty serious. But don't you worry, Americans are telling us, exactly what they think of your MAGA Fuhrer's failed policies...at the BALLOT-BOX, in many districts, where your Fuhrer had double-digits wins in Nov 2024.

MORE Big Wins for Dems:

On the heels of the recent Big Blue Wave 2025 Election wins, Dems have are still managing major wins in districts that where once ruby red, especially in Florida!

Democrats end 30-year losing streak in Miami as Trump-backed candidate falls short, Dec, 9th 2025 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem...te-falls-short

Democrat Rob Long wins big in Florida House race, defeating MAGA Republican, Dec 10th 2025 https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/12...ga-republican/

Note the wins by more than 20-points for Long. Looks like the Latinos are finally waking up to the reality of MAGA?

Traitor to America is right! And this traitor finally comes clean and fesses up to what those of us with any rational sense have known from the beginning. MAGA is nothing more than a bunch of divisive, dangerous, hateful, angry, bullshit lies. The thing is that supporters of MAGA know this but don't care! They like the fact that Chump is who he is, because they see their loser selves in him, and their anger at America is soothed by the fact that he has the power, and through him they can "break" things. Break the system that they feel screws them over. Break everything with their hate! Thanks Marjorie "Traitor" Green. You're still a hateful piece of shit yourself, but you demonstrate there is hope for your redemption:

Note that she doesn't want to run for re-election because she is so convinced her Repub Party will not have Majority Control Power starting January 2027.

Nothing about wanting to continue to represent her constituents, propose, suggest or contribute to any negotiations for better legislation to improve America's economy, the welfare of Americans, smarter use of American tax-payer dollars, nothing. Nope. If the election doesn't deliver her "power" to do anything she wants with no negotiations necessary, no compromise necessary, no actual "governing" involved or required and certainly no actual working for her government paycheck, then she has no interest in taking the job, thank you.

Note that she also isn't running for re-election because she can't think of one damn good reason her former lord and savior Trump SHOULDN'T be well and surely Impeached again and again for the severe damage he has done to America and, therefore, does not want to be put in a position where she will have to lie her ass off to come up with a defense and excuse for him.

Nothing about being willing to take a stand AGAINST the severe damage he has done to America and for which she can offer zero defense or excuse in order to see that at least some form of justice is provided for America and to help prevent future scamming, lying, cheating, thieving, America-hating Repub con men from repeating Trump's transgressions.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is definitely the embodiment of the classic Repub now as always.

Still, she is light-years smarter and clearly better informed about the reality of her former lord and savior Trump than anyone here and elsewhere who continues to support him and believes his lies and con.

The headline in your linked NYT article, presumably posted by you to "prove" your contention:

Top Journal Retracts Study Predicting Catastrophic Climate Toll.
While growing evidence shows that carbon emissions are harming the economy, the journal Nature found that an outlier paper had deep flaws.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/b...retracted.html

Since almost nobody without a NYT subscription can read your linked article after that headline, was the "outlier" paper with deep flaws the one joining everyone else on the carbon emissions / global climate change conclusion or the rare one that argued against it?

December 1, 2025.

In 1862, in the midst of the Civil War, the Union government under Abraham Lincoln passed the Homestead Act, offering 160 acres of land, for free, to just about anyone, as long as you were willing to farm it.

For thousands of Norwegians, Swedes, and Germans facing poverty and land scarcity back in Europe, 160 acres of free land was an irresistible invitation.

Minnesota's vast prairies, dense forests, and endless lakes bore a striking resemblance to their native Scandinavian landscapes, and soon waves of settlers poured in, building farms, churches, and towns from the ground up.

Over time, they forged a deeply rooted culture—agrarian, devout, self-reliant, and fiercely community-oriented—that would shape the identity of the North Star State for generations.

Later waves of immigrants chose Minnesota for entirely different reasons.

In the early 1990's, Somalia collapsed into chaos after the fall of its government, and the US quickly found itself entangled.

President George H. W. Bush deployed American troops under the banner of humanitarian intervention. But after the infamous Black Hawk Down incident in 1993 in which 18 US service members were killed, President Clinton pulled the plug.

With Somalia descending even further into civil war, and the US eager to distance itself from direct military involvement, the Clinton administration came up with a new solution: asylum.

Tens of thousands of Somalis were granted refugee status, brought to America, and then placed in various cities across the country.

Some ended up in the South. Others landed in San Diego. But a small group—almost by accident—found their way to rural Minnesota, where meatpacking plants offered something no other place did: immediate employment that didn't require English fluency.

These early Somali immigrants seized the opportunity. They moved to Minneapolis. And then started telling their friends.

As one immigrant later said, they "loudly blew the whistle" to urge fellow Somalis to come to Minnesota.

And word spread fast: the jobs were real, the welfare system was generous, and the community was growing. And that's how the Twin Cities—snow and all—became the unlikely capital of Somali America.

Today, Minnesota is home to an estimated 60,000-80,000 Somalis—the largest Somali population outside of Somalia itself.

And many have found that meatpacking is no longer their most promising opportunity.

Minnesota has gone out of its way to build a welfare machine so outrageous that it seems to have been designed for fraud.

Under Governor Tim Walz, Minnesota has become ground zero for the most staggering welfare fraud in the nation.

Programs were built around low barriers to entry and minimal oversight. And the results have been both predictable and catastrophic.

Take "Feeding Our Future", a nonprofit meant to provide food for impoverished kids. In 2019, they received $3.4 million in federal funding. But once COVID hit, the grift went into overdrive.

By 2021, Feeding Our Future pulled in nearly $200 million, supposedly serving millions of meals across Minnesota. The reality? Fake attendance rosters, falsified meal counts, and fabricated invoices.

The money was instead spent on luxury cars, real estate in Africa, and lavish lifestyles. Somalis were at the heart of this fraud.

Then there's the Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) program. Launched in 2020 with a $2. 6 million estimate, the program ballooned to $104 million by 2024.

Investigators uncovered that many of the "providers" were nothing more than fictitious storefronts, billing Medicaid for services never rendered. Federal authorities have stated outright that the "vast majority" of HSS payments were fraudulent.

Federally funded autism services were the next target. In just five years, autism-related claims in Minnesota exploded over 100 x from $3 million to nearly $400 million.

It turns out that many of these were fabricated diagnoses, providing an intricate system of kickbacks to parents who were willing to pretend that their children were autistic.

Many of these came from the Somali community, with one Somali-American woman alone accused of siphoning $14 million from the program.

Under Tim Walz's administration, at least 28 separate fraud scandals have emerged, with most of the large-scale rings being perpetrated by members of Minnesota's Somali community.

When government agencies or journalists raise red flags, they're often met with a predictable defense: accusations of racism and xenophobia; Feeding Our Future even sued the state for racial discrimination when scrutiny increased.

The tactic worked. Timid politicians, unwilling to risk alienating a key voting bloc, turned a blind eye.

But the worst part is where most of that money ended up.

In 2023, the Somali diaspora sent back $1. 7 billion to Somalia—more than the entire Somali government's budget.

And Al-Shabaab, Somalia's al-Qaida-linked terrorist group, takes a cut of every dollar remitted.

Investigators found that many of the senders were on public assistance themselves—meaning US taxpayers were indirectly funding a terror group that wants to destroy America.

The irony is that the US government has stacks of legislation—Bank Secrecy Act, PATRIOT Act, AML compliance, FinCEN regulations—all supposedly crafted to keep money out of the hands of terrorist and money launderers.

And yet, somehow, a network of welfare scammers in Minneapolis can funnel billions of taxpayer money overseas to fund a notorious terror group.

There are zero red flags, no meaningful enforcement, and absolutely no accountability.

You couldn't invent a dumber system if you tried.

To your freedom.

MDS.

Your unfounded opinions aside, here are some REAL FACTS about your beloved Pete Hegseth:

Pete "Double Tap" Hegseth, is a known and complete fuckup! He's a known drunk (who now claims to have stopped), and was arrested for sexual assault and then paid $50K NDA, to the women who accused him of a 2017 sexual assault, to make this "nuisance" suit quietly go away. But even his own mother called him "an abuser of women". And this is just the tip of the iceberg, as I could go on!

Wisely, Americans have grown to realize that unless they see real evidence and facts from this MAGA 2.0 shit-show admin, then don't believe a fucking word that come out of it's lying corrupt mouth or press releases. Hegseth, Bondi and Patel, are like the 3-Stooges,...all very comical and all very idiotically entertaining.

Let's see what a congressional or other investigations uncover, because it's very suspicious, how the dude proudly releases Notice how the idiot Hegseth, proudly flaunts the release of the previous first 21 strikes, which are of course used as public relations tools, for you MAGA dolts and suckers, to think the administration is doing "real work" against drug trafficking.

Double Tap is a bad ass nickname. I wish I could get a cool nickname like that. Honestly, Its all stupid irrelevant shit you are crying about. As I have already stated, only people with TDS really care about that stuff. I could care less if Cash Patel and Hegseth are trying to get some pussy on the side. Could care less if Hegseth drinks and parties too much, so did Ulysses S. Grant and he saved the Union in Civil War. Would I prefer a squeaky clean government under Trump, absolutely. But do I and the American people really care about this inconsequential shit. Nope. So many more real issues to focus on. Securing border, removing dangerous illegals, securing trade deals, keeping stock and real estate market strong, tough on crime, fighting cartels, fighting inflation. Those are the things that really matter. Dems just have nothing else to report so they blow this stuff way out of proportion and the TDS crowd buys right into it like the sheep they are.

How is the White House ballroom renovation going? Did we plan a race riot protest to stop wasting money on the White House remodel LOL? Every American can receive a one penny tax credit with the money saved hahaha.

Pete Hegseth had to make a second strike on the "combatants" because they were still dangerous. They could ham swam thousands of miles across the Atlantic and attacked America! LOL.

I remember the magazine covers I even did a school paper, I don't remember the magazine I used either Time or Newsweek.

More bullshit revisionist lies from the NYT and you.

Outliers my ass!! No surprise, you're a pathological LIAR on every single issue.

They are slowly trying to change the fucking narrative like they do with everything!!

https://www.breitbart.com/border/202...peat-offender/

They deserve them.

Our Lord and Savior should scoop them all up all over the country and deport them to LA county instead of Latin America they certainly don't want them back.

They refer to them as "yesterdays trash".

Only problem I see, is that they would cheat the US Census and count them when they apportion house seats.

LOL, A whole of charges from the same group of people who falsely impeached Trump twice and made him America's ultimate anti-hero. It's the same divisive shit. War charges for killing narco terrorists who are illegally smuggling in deadly poison which will kill hundreds, maybe thousands of Americans is a total waste of time and further divides the country. Hegseth did nothing wrong in my eyes, but I will admit he doesn't appear to be hardened enough for the job and I am kind of disappointed in him. He doesn't seem like he takes the heat well, unlike Trump who is never phased from the bullshit attacks. Hegseth does need to toughen up if he wants to run that position properly.

But the fact remains, anyone with half-brain, would ask themselves, why isn't braggadocios Pete proudly flaunting the 22nd strike video? Why is it being withheld? It is perhaps no doubt due to its content, which shows a legally and ethically questionable "double-tap" war crime strike on survivors?

BTW, RamDavidson84, notice a common MAGA lawless theme here? Something all too familiar, about MAGA politicians not releasing evidence to Americans?

That'S RIGHT...just like your MAGA Fuhrer's guilty conscience, with not releasing the Epstein Pedo Sex Files (EPSF), I suspect Hegseth must be going through the very same angst...ya think?

Winger bullshitters have been reminding us of that supposed "trend" among scientists in the 1970's that never happened for decades though.

As your NYT article accurately characterized such proclamations; they were "outliers". And there was no such consensus among scientists.

This is what is so maddening about you Democrats. Your arrogance is rooted in your bullshit explanations for your fuckups.

This is what I mean. Anyone should be able to see the scientific method at work. Here is the theory. Here is the data. Does it prove the theory or not? Status of the scientist should not matter.

The fact is both Time and Newsweek had the earth surrounded in an ice cube. The earth was getting colder. The winters in the 1970's were brutal. And the stories were the same. The cooling was man's fault and cue the scientists who say it is the fault of man.

Thing is CO2 levels were only able to be measured since 1955, and they were going up as we had this cooling. Then AlGore comes along twenty years later and now man is causing global warming, and rising CO2 levels are to blame, and it is the same doom and gloom we are all going to die bullshit unless we "do something".

And global warming slows down and the name is changed to climate change and now people are laughing off the entire concept of climate change.

The theory did not change. The money being spent on the theory has dried up because no one wants to talk about it anymore. Energy companies have been mostly Republican and it was fine to beat the snot out of them but when the silicon valley guys, the money arm of the Dems, was going to get beat up because of a lack of electricity driving AI growth, this theory was finally thrown on the trash heap where it belongs. The data NEVER matched the theory, and anyone with a brain could see it.

And now there is the consensus bullshit again. Science is data. Consensus is poltical. And the notion of God being mad at you and that is why there is no rain for your crops is the oldest fucking con there is. You Democrats fell for the con hook, line, and sinker just like you did with Covid. Instead of it being a bunch of swindlers driving into town with a carnival, it was con men with PHD behind their names sucking up to the pols and Hollywood elite. "You all are so special. You really understand how climate change works unlike those dumb Republicans. "

It is so funny how anyone who says Trump is not pure evil is accused of loving him so much. Trump fucked up the pandemic response. Bush let banks get away with murder, and the war in Iraq was a disaster. But with you guys and Biden? Oh, he was great. Kamala Harris was perfect. She would have been way better than Trump.

That is what gets me with Democrats. You are so arrogant and patronizing when time after time you have been so stupid and made these horrific fuckups. The trillion dollar climate change fuckup is melting away in our eyes, and the only thing you can say, "Can you believe Trump called a reporter Piggy? Man, those MAGA guys are dumb. "

[RamDavidson84]

You're wrong again, as usual, with your baseless claims!

Apparently not, since your Sec. Def. MAGA idiot, lapdog and sycophant, Pete Hegseth, could be facing multiple criminal and war crimes charges. That's a heck of a lot a shit, to be charge with, for something nobody supposedly doesn't give a shit about. BTW, I'm pretty sure those lawmakers, looking to investigate and make any criminal charges, have wayyyyy more than half-a-brain.

Former JAGs say Hegseth, others may have committed war crimes, Dec 1, 2025 https://www.militarytimes.com/news/y...ed-war-crimes/.

I wonder what the Vegas odds are for when your MAGA Fuhrer throws Hegseth under the bus? (...kkkk!) A week from now? A Month? Three Months?

LOL, A whole of charges from the same group of people who falsely impeached Trump twice and made him America's ultimate anti-hero. It's the same divisive shit. War charges for killing narco terrorists who are illegally smuggling in deadly poison which will kill hundreds, maybe thousands of Americans is a total waste of time and further divides the country. Hegseth did nothing wrong in my eyes, but I will admit he doesn't appear to be hardened enough for the job and I am kind of disappointed in him.
