Great. We Dems now have our own Susan Collins ("Concerned").
A war crime must be CONDEMNED, not intimated. Evidence is Occam's Razor: this isn't American territory or citizens; no war has been declared by Congress on a sovereign nation; no proof of this (non-capital) crime has (or will be) offered.

Only a fossil like Chuck Schumer would see an inveterate "LIAR" like Trump and feel it's adequate for the Old Gray Lady Of Record to posit that he "DISPLAYS CONTRADICTIONS".

While that's extremely true, it should still be emphasized that making any percent of SS "taxable" does not translate to the percentage of tax on it you're going to pay.

The first thing I detest about the tragically irrelevant but nonetheless darling of MSNBC/CNN James Carville is that he makes all us oldsters look like fossils. Makes one want to paint us all with a broad brush and not want to listen to a thing a bright and progressive senior citizen has to say.

A sad reminder that legacy media would be paying no attention whatsoever to this inconvenient fact if it had been coming out of the mouth of a progressive Dem instead of a MAGA Republican.

"Yeah we meant to commit that war crime. Except there are no war crimes for real manly nations with real manly militaries. Still think it's a crime? Call the Justice Department. Tell him the drunk guy with the Nazi tattoos sent ya!"

Good luck waiting for legacy media to remind the public of those specific reasons for attacking Venezuela; namely, a financial windfall for one of Trump's cronies.

Um... straight-up murder is quite often a war crime. Don't get bogged-down on semantics. That's why Democrats and Leftists lose so often (and the right makes fun of us for it!)

If you were smarter you'd re-read my original comments and *comprehend* that my beef is with Kelly (not you!), who impresses you as a He-Man military hero, who wasn't afraid to blame a war crime on an individual, but won't buck the system that greenlit POTUS.

Did Kelly condemn the various boat bombings? Or just Pete's cleaning up of the human debris, which makes it look like the act of an individual? A scapegoat whose participation was much bigger than that?
The Joint Chiefs should have instructed their minions that Trump's bombing orders were ILLEGAL.

Come on war hero: how about the FIRST "tap"? The attacks on the fishermen themselves?
Dead men tell no tales so no one can ever know if they were carrying drugs or tuna. But if you only condemn the 2nd "tap" it becomes the act of an individual and not malfeasance by your Joint Chiefs in allowing it

Then write your pal the senator a strongly-worded letter and tell him you want him to publicly express his Outrage at the attacks on random fishing boats in the first goddamned place.
Drop a bomb and kill fishermen? America fuck yeah! One of them lands in the water alive and you kill HIM? War crime

Going after and killing fisherman in international waters far from home on the unproven premise that they're "drug smugglers" also constitutes a war crime, Mark. Try going on the TV talk shows and rending your garments about THAT, buddy.

Yeah, I too remember North Viet Nam and the Viet Cong. We were instructed by our government and our media gatekeepers every day that we had to weep for these POWs who had "burned women, houses and villages". The dichotomy between that and the "patriotism" we were raised on made us nuts, didn't it?
