Thin-skinned loser's cabinet full of other thin-skinned losers, more at 11
Is his spirit bourbon by chance?
We’ll call him J Edgar Boozer
LegalEagle did a great video about Kash, he's been grifting near the heart of MAGA doing Trump's bidding for years
Hoover at least had the stones to own being a thug.
and his dresses were fabulous.
He was gay, did crimes. OG.
This happened under Obama too, but everyone was cool with it.
Nah, jk. Can you imagine?
I still remember am entire news cycle about him wearing a tan suite.
Meanwhile, in 2026: https://youtu.be/ZaZPiwxPqO4
Like that time there was a drone strike on Yemen(a wedding, I believe) under Obama, and a journalist from there exposed that the bomb that was used was from USA, so Obama had the Yemen government throw that journalist in jail over it. At least nobody was cool with it, cause it wasn't reported much in US press, cause Obama had a war on whistleblowers at the time.
Neat - source link?
The Wech Baghtu wedding party airstrike refers to the killing of about 37 Afghan civilians, mostly women and children, and injuring about 27 others by a United States military airstrike on 3 November 2008.
Obama was sworn in three months later.
And there was a lot of press about that. There was even over-the-air evening news back then that reported that. That was Bush II. The link doesn’t even substantiate your claim.
Huh? What claim did I make?
Apologies, I got it mixed up.
FWIW this was the one I had it mixed up with https://www.hrw.org/report/2014/02/19/wedding-became-funeral/us-drone-attack-marriage-procession-yemen
https://www.aljazeera.com/video/inside-story-america/2013/6/6/obama-and-the-case-of-a-yemeni-journalist Looks like I was off, it wasn't a wedding. That was a different incident in Yemen where Obama drone striked a bunch of civilians. But there's a link with some info on what I was thinking of. Don't remember where exactly I first got it from, good chance it's from Jeremy Scahill from The Nation magazine, which that link mentions.
Oh, ok makes sense. I don’t think this is the whole story because they tease an interview about it at the end, but no other link.
Essentially, Yemen arrested him for “being Al Queda” or some such, and when that fell through the Yemeni president was going to release him until supposedly Obama personally called him to hold off. There aren’t any sources for these things, but Al Jazeera says this.
It doesn’t seem like it was about suppressing the story of the bombing, but maybe. In general it was widely reported.
Abdulelah Haider Shaye wrote a letter from prison last week making clear who he blames for his detention.
“It’s inaccurate to say the Americans imprisoned me because some of them defended and supported me and opposed my detention. Actually, the only person responsible for kidnapping and detaining me is Obama. So, I don’t want the media to say America or Americans have incarcerated me because it’s obvious [who is responsible].”
Yemen is an incredibly poor and small country that is under tremendous pressure from the United States .... So for Yemen to defy the United States on this would be an extraordinary act.
BY JEREMY SCAHILL , A NATIONAL SECURITY CORRESPONDENT FOR THE NATION MAGAZINE
And during his trial, Shaye condemned the strikes on civilians whose aftermath he had witnessed first hand.
“When they hid murderers of children and women in Abyan, when I revealed the locations and camps of nomads and civilians in Abyan, Shabwa and Arhab when they were going to be hit by cruise missiles, it was on that day that they decided to arrest me. You notice in the court how … all of my journalistic contributions and quotations to international reporters and news channels have been turned into accusations. Yemen, this is the place where, when a young journalist becomes successful, he is viewed with suspicion.”
So, why did Obama personally intervene to ensure the Yemeni journalist’s incarceration?
Inside Story Americas, with presenter Shihab Rattanssi, discusses this issue with guests: Jeremy Scahill, a National Security Correspondent for the Nation Magazine and Paul Eaton, a retired Major General with the US military who commanded operations to train Iraqi troops between 2003 and 2004 and who is currently a special adviser to the National Security Network, a think-tank in Washington DC.
If jailing a reporter isn't supressed, what is? It does tell you where the initial inverview is if you wanna find out. Though I don't know if The Nation is still around. I know Scahill is elsewhere these days(and is doing outstanding reporting btw) and again, not the first time Obama administration jailed a journalist. There's even a term coined for it if you wanna know the details, War on Whistleblowers.
How dare you besmirch the drone striker in chief.
Whatever do you mean? It's only the other side that's in a cult. You can totally criticize our dear supreme Democrat leader. Even when you back it up with sources.

Kash looks like the guy who rose his hand when Trump asked who wanted the FBI, thinking he meant Female Boobies Inspector.
