Trump Operative'Even Mike Johnson Is Sounding The Alarm Over Hegseths Denial Explodes In His Face As His Talarico Confession Surfaces On Tape's Gruesome Execution Plan

House Speaker Mike Johnson stated the obvious, warning the Trump administration that livestreaming the execution of Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Hasan could have some seriously ugly consequences.

Johnson raised concerns about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's proposal to broadcast Hasan's execution by firing squad, currently scheduled for December 3. Donald J. Trump has said he intends to personally decide whether the execution will be televised.

During an interview with CBS News correspondent Robert Costa, Johnson warned that broadcasting the execution could create a recruiting instrument for future terrorists. Apparently, even some Republicans recognize that turning a government execution into a public spectacle might not be the brilliant idea the unqualified Secretary of Defense seems to think it is.

Johnson acknowledged that he had not yet discussed the proposal with Trump, Hegseth, or Vice President JD Vance, but said he wanted the White House to hear lawmakers' concerns about the idea. He also made clear that he wouldn't be watching the broadcast himself.

Vance has similarly said he would not watch it, while opposition to the proposal has grown on both sides of the aisle. Hegseth, however, has insisted that the execution will be made public, with the Pentagon confirming plans for a livestream.

FI Want Him Here!'s A Kremlin Stooge

Putin's best buddy on Fox was back at it again this Sunday, and surprisingly her fellow Fox host Brian Kilmeade was having none of it. As we already discussed here, Campos-Duffy was regurgitating Russian talking points this Saturday and lying about how many children have been killed during the war.

On this Sunday's Fox & Friends Weekend, she again attacked Zelensky for hitting Russian refineries and ignoring the demands of Dear Leader Trump, but she had some pushback this time from Kilmeade.

Here's the full exchange via Ostap Yarysh:

CAMPOS-DUFFY: I know you're a big fan of Zelensky, but yesterday President Trump said maybe it's time for an election and a new leader in Ukraine because Zelensky keeps blowing up these refineries after the president said, "Please don't do that," especially before the midterms. He keeps doing it, and it's hurting President Trump and the administration, who's been very generous toward him and his war effort.

Kimberly Guilfoyle Faces The Axe As Trump And Rubio Grow Furious

Kimberly Guilfoyle's dream posting in Greece may be turning into a nightmare for the Trump administration. Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are reportedly considering giving their ambassador the boot after a series of damaging reports about her conduct before and during her time in Athens.

The Associated Press reports that a senior U.S. official said Trump and Rubio were “extremely pissed off” over the allegations and could decide Guilfoyle's fate as soon as this week. Rubio was reportedly particularly angry, having just visited Athens while the controversy was circling the ambassador. Guilfoyle greeted him with a bear hug, apparently providing a rather awkward photo opportunity amid the growing mess.

MAGA Lawmaker 'Volenteers' To Be On Firing Squad

Last week, after Whiskey Pete announced that he would order the Ft. Hood shooter to be executed by a firing squad, his drinking buddy, Rep. Drunken Van Orden, volunteered to make room to be on the squad:

A little later, he quote-tweeted another post about the execution with one word: "Vulenteer."

When a reporter from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel asked about the posts, a spokesperson for DVO did not bother responding.

It was a rather stupid thing to do with less than a month before the midterm election in a race in which he is trailing and against an opponent exponentially smarter and much more sober than he is. And said opponent, Rebecca Cooke, did not hesitate to jump on it:

In a statement, Cooke said Van Orden's comments were "frankly disturbing."
