I try to be consistent, and I will call out nonsense. Soccer Dad. Atheist. Independent. USMC aviation in 80s/90s. proud dad. Recovering alcoholic.

With fear for our democracy, I dissent.

it can only good happen!

run more, age less!
the secretary wrote "our boys should not fight by rules written by dignified men in mahogany rooms eighty years ago" and lobbied to have multiple war criminals pardoned.

I think he’d be fine with doing this.
GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "I don't think Secretary Hegseth would be foolish enough to make this decision to say, 'Kill everybody. Kill the survivors,' because that's a clear violation of the law of war."

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven.

The hypocrisy is stunning.
Habba: There were individuals that were saying that this should be a safe harbor, a safe haven. Why? America is America because we protect our own.

So the headline here is the current administration didn’t bother to further vet an asylum-seeker admitted during a presidency that was allegedly run by autopen and is clearly incompetent.

The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating the strike on survivors of the first boat strike.

Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions.

This is why a reminder to not follow illegal orders is important

Now.

If Congress subpoenas people like this. They might get somewhere.

Otoh undoubtedly the Regime will threaten to punish him.
Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

You misspelled "tried", Senator
Pete Hegseth is a war criminal and should be fired immediately.

RFK Jr. is obviously a dangerous fraudster. But he would not have the power he currently has without being aided by the Republican Congress—in some cases, by members who should know better.

I despise RFK Jr. but I also harbor a different flavor of contempt for doctors like Cassidy and Barasso.

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

A reminder that the current SECDEF caught the eye of the president by championing the pardoning of American war criminals — men whose own units testified against them, and who were convicted by military juries

He should never have been nominated for, let alone confirmed in, this job

When the Senate confirmed Hegseth, it had good information that he was an emotionally dysregulated drunk who had committed a horrific sexual assault. The war crimes are on every member who voted for him knowing exactly who he is.

If you want to know why Hegseth is panicking about reminders that there is accountably for giving or carrying out illegal orders, it’s likely because he knows he has given illegal orders to murder people.

heavily ironic given trump’s confusion over legislation, EOs and pardons that he is supposed to have signed.
Trump claims “any document” signed by Joe Biden is “hereby terminated.”

He calls out executive orders later but obviously “any document” would be much broader and include legislation.

(He can’t legally do that but, as always, we get to watch how far he can push this without repercussions)

I’m not an expert in the law of war, but an order to kill injured people who were not posing a single threat to anyone would seem to me to be a possible war crime.

yesterday the president referred to a political opponent as “retarded” in his Thanksgiving greeting - a word decent people have easily removed from their vocabulary.

he didn’t accidentally blurt it out, he typed it, checked what he wrote and then hit send. garbage human.
