Of course, I feel sorrier for us. The Nuzzi book and Lizza's interminable revenge posts remind us that these deeply disturbed people are our journalistic elites. And you wonder why our democracy is hanging by a thread? www.thenation.com/article/poli...
I Still Feel a Tiny Bit Sorry for Olivia Nuzzi

Hegseth and his defenders claim he didn’t specifically order the killing of 2 survivors of the boat attack. But if he ordered that everyone on the boat be killed, it’s a war crime. Under Pentagon rules, soldiers are “prohibited to conduct hostilities on the basis that there shall be no survivors.”

Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.
