Doug Burgum using one of Putin's justifications for invading Ukraine. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Burgum on Greenland: "This is of strategic importance. Think of it as a bookend -- Alaska on one end, Greenland on the other really providing the shield to protect North America and the United States. Absolutely critical."

What happened today to a united States Senator is outrageous. And the so-called justifications from the Administration are total BS. Here’s why

very funny that she's recreating the basic justifications for feminism but with right wing signaling

Yes, and the occupation produces its own imperial justifications. It's why it keeps getting worse.

When individuals and publications labor to construct the intellectual and moral justifications for genocide, I think they should be treated like people doing that.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

MEMPHIS ABC 7 catches a DEEP SIGH from Stephen Miller as Trump peddles his ever-changing justifications about Iran

Cranky and his ilk aren’t just offering justifications for supporting Trump. They are offering justifications in advance for whatever Trump does in office. “Yes, some of these pogroms may seem extreme, but you have to remember the alternative was a collapse into communism.”
This is what Trump Derangement Syndrome actually looks like: the imputation of the Republican candidate's historic contempt for the constitutional order, culminating in a literal insurrection to thwart the transfer of power, onto his Democratic opponent instead.

insane how this article just takes all of trump's bullshit legal justifications for this bribery at face value

The scariest Nazi Germany-adjacent thing happening right now is the courts treating the Trump administration's legal-ish justifications for power grabs, subversion of basic rights, and militarism as good-faith legal arguments, despite overwhelming evidence that those justifications are ruses.

"He could, he just doesn't want to" is definitely one of the justifications of all time

Folks coming up with some weird justifications for mass incarceration.

We have arrived at the Nazi eugenics portion of our justifications for bombing Gaza experience, please enjoy.

Honestly though, "no reason" is more compelling than the elaborate justifications his supporters are coming up with on the fly
I don’t think the president should cause a recession for no reason.

i jsut mean i support without caveat, no justifications required

These people have just created pathological justifications for their most primal fear - parallel parking

Just as he did with tariffs, Trump is abusing “national security” justifications to raise prices for the American people — in this case electricity prices.
Burgum: "Today we're sending notifications to the 5 large offshore wind projects that are under construction that their leases will be suspended due to national security concerns ... the Dept of War has come back conclusively that these large offshore wind programs create radar interference"

I don’t think they’re bothering with justifications anymore

As you listen to DHS and ICE offer their excuses and justifications for murdering an American mother in cold blood, a quickly-forgotten reminder from Chicago:

Having not even bothered to try to sell this war in advance they are now cooking up the most laughable ex post justifications imaginable.
Marco Rubio: "We went proactively in a defensive way"

the flimsy justifications for getting rid of the protest encampments are wildly similar to the justifications for sweeps of unhoused encampments in cities: weapons, "safety," etc.

MSNBC with a great speed debunk of DHSs justifications for tackling and handcuffing Sen. Padilla.

Padilla is the top Dem on the Senate Judiciary immigration subcommittee -- there's no way Noem (who meets regularly with senators on this topic) didn't know who he is.

The excuses for Platner sound identical to the justifications Republicans make for Trump. It’s not a good look.

"C'est pas toi, c'est l'État."
Un drame au ZEVENT et beaucoup trop de justifications...
