Especially with women. And people of color. Women of color are a force multiplier for his anger - he can't stand the thought of one of them daring to question him.

In a normal world, where someone like him would have a cushy job at KPMG or Accenture, no. How much damage could he do by telling clients what they already know for $800/hr?
But as one of 100 US Senators, a man with his lack of honor is exceedingly dangerous.

Which means they will rule against California doing the same -- even though that was the result of a referendum.

From what I can tell, no outboard boat of this size has anywhere near the range to reach Florida from Venezuela.
In this case, about 1,400 miles in a straight line. (Less than 500 to PR, but Trump doesn't think that it's part of the US, so...)

I'm not even sure about that. Venezuelan crude is low-quality and we have plenty. I think it's just that Trump wants to bully someone and wants to overthrow Maduro.

Al Qaeda: Blows up buildings
Venezuelan traffickers: Bring in illegal substances that Americans are choosing to snort up their noses.

I'm not sure the "terrorism" victims are on an equal footing here.

They were about 1,100 miles from Florida, and clinging to wreckage. Perhaps they were going to swim that distance, towing their drugs behind them with ropes held in their teeth?

TBH, I am a little surprised that it has gotten this far, and that the FBI has not released the suspect already -- everyone knows how this will end.

It's horrible. But I don't recall anyone ever facing consequences for gunning down civilians in Iraq who were trying to transport other wounded civilians - using a 30mm cannon from a considerable distance.
It's still a hard video to watch.

Thing is, if Hegseth goes, his replacement might well be worse: Trump will never nominate anyone qualified, and, conversely, no one qualified would accept a position in a Trump cabinet.
SecDef Eddie Gallagher would be a nightmare as well.

Given that elected Republicans can NEVER criticize Trump, which is worse?
1. This weasle-word answer
2. Johnson's lie that he has never heard of it
3. MarkWayne Mullins just making crap up on national tv
4. They are all equally bad

They also don't have any talented graphic artists available.

Leaving Franklin out of it.

Killing defenseless non-combatants clinging to wreckage: Perfectly legal.
Reminding servicemembers that the above is illegal: Travesty.
