  • Funny how easy it is to search the internet for “wounded knee hegseth” and find the answer.

    In 2019, Democratic lawmakers, led by Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, introduced legislation to revoke the medals from the 20 soldiers involved in the massacre at Wounded Knee after a yearslong pressure campaign by members of the Lakota tribe.

    Congress has rescinded more than 900 Medals of Honor since a law passed in 1916 created a board of retired military officers to review previous awards. In 1990, Congress apologized to the descendants of the Native Americans killed and injured at Wounded Knee.

    The campaign to remove the medals gained momentum in 2020, when historical and systemic racism received intense attention. Many of the medals given out for the U.S. Army’s Indian Wars for land and resources in the West were for violent acts against Native Americans.

    In July 2024, Lloyd J. Austin III, then the defense secretary, convened a panel to review the actions of each soldier at Wounded Knee.

    In a video posted on social media on Thursday, Mr. Hegseth said the panel recommended to Mr. Austin in October that the soldiers should keep their medals. Mr. Austin did not make a final decision on the medals, which Mr. Hegseth described as “careless inaction.”

    “Under my direction, we’re making it clear without hesitation that the soldiers who fought in the Battle of Wounded Knee in 1890 will keep their medals, and we’re making it clear that they deserved those medals,” Mr. Hegseth said in the video.














  • This is the most braindead comment I’ve read here yet. Google search Democratic Party Platform and you’ll find a 92 page document covering everything you pretend to be looking for. Now Google the Republican Party platform, and you’ll find it’s "Whatever Trump wants at any moment’.

    You could be complaining out of sheer ignorance, which is a common feature in today’s political environment, when a simple Google search has the answers for the ‘do your own research’ generation, or you are being disingenuous on purpose to push the Both Sides Same narrative.



  • You can’t spell “gerrymander” even after replying to people who spelled it correctly… and even being that wrong, it’s the most accurate thing you’ve written.

    Republicans have gerrymandered Utah, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, N. Carolina, S. Carolina, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Ohio and Mississippi.

    Democrats have gerrymandered New Mexico, Nevada, Illinois, and Oregon.

    What’s even more hilarious is that you named Vermont as being gerrymandered… it has ONE congressional district, LOL… ONE! That’s some big-brain analysis, my friend.


  • For real. The photos and videos with and quotes about Epstein, the interviews with Stern talking about walking into changing rooms, grabbing 'em by the pussy, all this existed outside of the Epstein files.

    He bankrupted business after business but stayed afloat by being a con-man, and red-state suckers flooded his rallies to juice up on his low IQ rhetoric.

    Now he’s filling his vault with cryptoscam cash from his idiot base buying memecoins and third-rate junk watches, so that his insipid sons can continue the family business of groping, scamming and conning. Trump has replaced Reagan as the new face of the GOP and they LOVE it, because they get to say how much they hate immigrants out loud.



  • I dig blaming the people who wind up believing deceptive marketing practices, instead of blaming the people doing the deceiving.

    Look up the dictionary definition of autopilot: a mechanical, electrical or hydraulic system used to guide a vehicle without assistance from a human being. FULL SELF DRIVING, yeah, why would that wording lead people to believe the car was, you know, fully self-driving?

    Combine that with year after year of Elon Musk constantly stating in public that the car either already drives itself, or will be capable of doing so just around the corner, by the end of next year, over and over and over and

    Elon lied constantly to keep the stock price up, and people have died for believing those lies.
