GOP Rep Defends Former Navy SEAL Accused of War Crimes

GOP Rep Defends Former Navy SEAL Accused of War Crimes:  Rep. Duncan Hunter of California is making a rather odd defense of former Navy SEAL Chief Eddie Gallagher, who’s been accused of war crimes - including shooting a teenage girl and an elderly man to death in Iraq, indiscriminately opening fire into crowds and intimidating witnesses, including fellow Navy SEALs who tried to report him.  Anyway, in defending Gallagher, Hunter is admitting that he also took photos and videos of himself with dead enemy bodies while serving in the Marine Corps.

Well, we’re certainly at an interesting point in our history, when we now have elected officials proudly admitting to having committed war crimes.  Is it just me, or does the Republican Party under Trump seem to be constantly inventing new ways to prove what horrible excuses for human beings they’ve become? 

Of course, criminal complaints are nothing new to Duncan Hunter.  After all, he and his wife are facing 60 federal charges themselves, including conspiracy, wire fraud and falsification of records over using campaign funds for personal spending - but who’s counting? 

Hey, I got an idea which may help to prevent any future war crimes charges from arising.  Why, now that President Trump is so tight with his BFF Kim Jong-un, perhaps he could have Kim fly over to the US and teach a few classes to top GOP cadre on the latest techniques for concealing human rights abuses?  I mean, there’s nothing like hearing it from an expert.

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War:  In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.”   You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!”  In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence.  They don’t teach you that in law school.   Now, is it jus...

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo:  Three months after he abandoned the daily virus briefings and attempted to turn the country’s attention to what he described as the “great American comeback,” President Trump took the lectern in the White House briefing room alone on Tuesday, free to say whatever he wanted without any distractions from the usual bunch “sciencey nerds” behind him. And, in a rare moment of candor, Trump reluctantly admitted that the spread of the coronavirus will likely get worse before it gets better, and that people should probably wear masks.  Well said Mr President!  The fact is, most of us are already rather optimistic things will begin to get better - sometime after November 3rd. Ironically, now that Trump is finally admitting the virus is spreading fast and that people should wear masks, you’d think most of those armed militia thugs, whom Trump egged on to to out and “liberate” those Democratic run states from t...

Scientists Monitoring Near-Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis

Scientists Monitoring Near-Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis:   Scientists meeting this week at the 2019 Planetary Defense Conference, say they’re monitoring the 99942 Apophis asteroid which will be coming within 20,000 miles (33,000 kilometers) of the Earth’s surface in just 10 years.  The thing is, by the year 2029, Trump will likely be settling into his 4th term - so if an asteroid suddenly threatens to destroy the Earth, my guess is that after 16 years of Trump, no one will really much care. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com  Oldest Human Footprint Found in the Americas Confirmed in Chile:   Researchers say a 15,600-year old footprint discovered by a student in southern Chile is believed to be the oldest human footprint ever found in the Americas.  Oddly enough, scientists say the footprint appears to be that of someone wearing size 12 Bruno Magli shoes, but because it’s from well over 15K years ago - they’re rather doubtful it has any connection to t...
