How does one get added to a starter pack of introverted, insecure neurotics?
Nah, never mind. I'm not worthy of being added to a starter pack. And I'm worried that people might start interacting with me if I do get added to one.

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence.
All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

According to the US Coast Guard, the year prior to Trump changing our policy to summary execution, only 21% of the vessels interdicted by them off the coast of Venezuela suspected of trafficking drugs had drugs on board. The other 79% had nothing. But now we just kill them all.

Some of these people reportedly have been forced to work on boats when family members have been kidnapped or threatened.
And what are the odds of mistaken strikes?

Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

1) If Hegseth ordered troops to "kill everybody" in that barbaric second strike, he should be arrested.
2) If Admiral Bradley followed what he damn well knew was an illegal order from Hegseth, he should be removed from duty, and court-martialed.
3) If Trump does nothing, he is a war criminal.

Trump's message to would-be fraudsters who seek to get rich by taking advantage of investors is that that sort of behaviour gets you in Trump's good graces. 🤷♂️
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.
I follower a few defense experts.
Seeing them all straight-up declare this a war crime without any him-and-hawing is uhm
Disconcerting.
Pete Hegseth must resign, as does Stephen Miller. Donald Trump should be subpoenaed before Congress to answer for HIS policy.
