Even at the beginning of WWII, U boats honored the law of the sea and picked survivors up. Later, a Uboat made it into a war crime and they were executed.
Bash: "Do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors that it constitutes a war crime?"
Mark Kelly: "It seems to."
Bash: "If you received that order, would you have carried it out?"
Mark Kelly: "No…Going after survivors in the water is unlawful."

This. Also:
1. Our nuclear modernization started under Obama.
2. The only significant nuclear expansion under Trump was the low-yield W76 mod 2 submarine launched ballistic missile.
3. Testing nukes is fucking stupid. We don’t need to do it.

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.
This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

This is supposedly a stripper clip with the rounds found at the scene of the shooting in Dallas today.
It’s like someone is intentionally trying to see what level of dumb shit the American people will accept as truth.

Aside from looking very puffy, sniffing a ton, and rambling off track even more than normal, Trump doesn’t look bad.
He seems to be recovering well from whatever the White House was hiding.

What keeps local reporters going? ‘We live here and we want a better society.’
One in 3 U.S. counties no longer has a single full-time reporter, depriving communities of a reliable mirror. Meet Margaret Coker and the other journalists fighting to keep local news alive.
