Whatever happened to that wall ?

Seems to be the US equivalent of signwriting on a big red bus.

And look at the damage that did to the country. Lies, damned lies, and Trump and Farage.

With all the empty space surrounding many military bases in the US, why would they need to close down urban airspace just to test anti-drone tech?

Area 51 comes to mind. Testing things is what they actually do there. And there's MCAS Yuma. Far enough from Phoenix that they wouldn't need to shut down a major airport.

As in testing it on bringing down Mexican cartel drones, hence the location.

Am I the only one watching Sky News live coverage of House Judiciary Committee hearing? I fear that I should have just held out for the analysis in tomorrow's news.

Pam Bondi just asked applicants for judge roles and JAG lawyers to send in their applications.🙄

Wait. So like she did an 'ad' for applicants?

"I respectfully decline to answer. And HEY, all you groovy girls and groovy guys! Looking for a fun job? Send in those resumes for judge and JAG positions now!!! The DOJ wants you if you'll pledge loyalty to Trump!!! Now back to our show. Next question, please?"

Yes, exactly as you said. Apparently the DoJ is overwhelmed super busy with all the Ice stuff etc. Who knew???

Some one just tried to ask about the NOTAM and was immediately shut down!

Now fight bet Bondi and Nadler.

eta - shouting match

logicisall · 11/02/2026 15:59

Jesus Christ, this stuff is gripping! The lack of respect and pointing by Bondi.

logicisall · 11/02/2026 16:01

She thinks that everyone who participated in Trump's impeachment need to apologise to him..

logicisall · 11/02/2026 16:01

Forget about Epstein ... look at how well the DOW is doing!!

logicisall · 11/02/2026 16:02

I can't believe she actually said that.

DuncinToffee · 11/02/2026 16:05

Did she say that she won't apologise to the victims?

Saw some comment on SM, am watching ice hockey

logicisall · 11/02/2026 16:06

Some dickhead (Gooden?) just thanked her for speaking truth and suggested that the Democrats need to apologise to the Epstein survivors because they did nothing when they were in power.

She is refusing to give any yes/no answer.

logicisall · 11/02/2026 16:12

She's very combative.

BustingBaoBun · 11/02/2026 16:18

I find her unbelievably rude

SerendipityJane · 11/02/2026 16:20

Nothing here I wouldn't have expected back in November 2024.

OK, it probably took longer than I might have expected. I guess I actually thought MAGA and the GOP were more competent than they actually turned out to be.

I imagine this is cue for another round of BREAKING NEWS stories about how "any minute now" the horror will end. You know. The ones that have been popping up daily since (checks notes) November 2024.

AcrossthePond55 · 11/02/2026 16:28

At least that's a step in the right direction. Hopefully he'll at least face gross negligence manslaughter charges.

Why would he ? Clearly a Texas grand jury found it perfectly acceptable to point a gun at someone without carrying out the procedures to ensure it was cleared.

And to be fair, it's an easy mistake to make. Which is why the first commandment of guns is do not point them at anyone. Ever. Unless you have already formed the intent to pull the trigger, and know that it could result in death.

(This is why it concerns me UK police get a free pass at times. But that's another matter).

Aaron Rupar's clip of Bondi reading her prepared Dow reply to questions about Epstein

https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3melualitx22u

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

According to evidence at the inquest, Lucy Harrison's argument with her father seems to have been specifically about Trump sexually assaulting a woman or girl.

Dad shot daughter after 'arguing about Donald Trump'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyk917xy8no
[...] Littler said on the morning of 10 January his partner had asked her father during the Trump row: "How would you feel if I was the girl in that situation and I'd been sexually assaulted?"
Kris Harrison had replied that he had two other daughters who lived with him so it would not upset him that much.
Littler said Lucy became "quite upset" and ran upstairs.

What a prince

😂😂 she’s now screaming about Trump Derangement Syndrome. “You’re a failed politician”

logicisall · 11/02/2026 17:27

Bondi has a huge binder which is full of negative stats etc on the areas of her Democratic questioners. When Ted Lieu accused her of lying under oath when she responded to his questions about whether there were minors at certain parties connected with Epstein and other accountability issues, she responded with stats on crime etc in his area. Implying that he should concentrate on addressing those issues instead of the EF.

Her staffers She's prepared her deflections well in advance. I was hoping he would reply 'What does that have to do with the price of fish?"😂
