1/2 This has got to be one of most painful responses to watch.

The White House simply does not deny the follow up strike was to allow no survivors.

And the 'law' Leavitt cites is utterly irrelevant (self-defense is a non-sequitur, it's not armed conflict, and 'no survivors' is a crime).
FOX: You said the follow up strike was lawful. What law is it that allows no survivors?

LEAVITT: The strike was conducted in self defense to protect Americans

try to imagine the media firestorm if the military was conducting strikes and obama, clinton, or biden said "i dont know anything about it" and how the media just shrugs at trump saying the same thing.
talking to reporters last night, Trump claimed of Hegseth's double tap strike that "I don't know anything about it," then moments later claimed "I don't who you're talking about" when asked his plan to pardon the former Honduran president

Good, we need real oversight on this issue.

They are literally just copying Clear And Present Danger here. They can’t even war crime in an original way.
On the horrific news that Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of boat bombing survivors, remember: The Trump Murder Memo "authorizing" the strikes preemptively clears those carrying them out. That's unusual. And we still haven't heard from the commander who resigned:

I love the "openness" of Trump as he plods along, having no clue about the "tells" that he shares every hour of every day about his dementia, his ignorance, his intolerance, his racism, his thin skin, his ineptitude, his struggle to say complete sentences, etc. And it is effortless for him.

It consistently amazes me that so many modern authoritarians jump right to terror and oppression without even trying to gain popular support by making life better for the population. Even Hitler had a whole program of improvements and benefits to buy support, not just genocide and terror.
