Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

I will repeat this every single day for the next three years: Any Democrat running for president in 2028 must pledge to immediately tear down/bulldoze/demolish Trump’s ballroom and fully restore the East Wing and any other piece of the People’s House Trump has or will destroy.

This is all true but
1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law
2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up
The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

At least three Imperial Japanese Navy captains were charged with killing survivors of Allied ships that had been sunk. Two were convicted and executed; a third committed suicide.

It’s almost like, as a matter of national interest, it’s extremely unwise to let other countries bribe your country’s leaders.

The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.
Lots of people are going to die.

"I co-wrote Trump's first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-2018. He's not trying to stop "left wing" terrorism. He is staging it.
His troop deployments are a false flag – meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.
This is now very obvious."

Trump's investment boom exists only in his demented brain. New orders for capital goods are below the level of three years ago, and that's before adjusting for inflation

It’s low on the priority list when the Dems retake the White House but every change the orange pedophile has made need to be undone and changed back. Tear down the ballroom, rip up the concrete covering the rose garden. Rebuild the east wing and apparently rebuild the memorial reflecting pool too

The two West Virginia National Guard members are dead because of Donald Trump. He used them as props in hopes of causing wholly unnecessary trouble that he could use as a pretext for an authoritarian clampdown on civilians.
Being a sociopath with no introspection, he won't care.

The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.
The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here:

Is Trump Giving Illegal Orders? Dems Just Blew That Question Wide Open
From the boat bombings to deportations to prosecutions, the evidence mounts. And the speaker of the House could get to the bottom of it if he wanted to. Yeah, right.

We went from being part of NATO to being part of the Axis of Evil under Donald Trump.
That’s what happens when when our leader is a convicted felon who is a pedophile.

Way to focus on that kitchen table.
BREAKING: The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

📌If journalism is done right here, every story reported on the repulsive Donald Trump in conjunction with the monster, Epstein, should include early and often that he was found guilty of sexual abuse, and has a long history of verbally abusing women, and calling them absolutely revolting names.

Wasn’t expecting the Epstein scandal to blow up the New York Times but sure, why not
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?
