After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk.
It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Elon Musk’s new pay package could amount to $100B per year.
That's the same as 3.2 million cashiers’ paychecks combined.

No death threats.
It was only when she turned on Donald Trump that she got death threats.
Just like Senators only received threats of violence after they wavered on Trump's cabinet nominations.

So according to Bovino just being a non “American“ (which I’m guessing = not white) is a now a crime and worthy of kidnapping and torture detention?
