How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.

It remains not only so shameful and such a profound betrayal but also just so EMBARRASSING that universities are signing things that are like:

This whole thing is racist, but take particular note of the threat of denaturalization. That's stripping people of their citizenship, and that's the road to mass murder and atrocity.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

Funny thing is, there are “gravity ‘skeptics’” in the sense that there are cranks who deny gravity, just as there are cranks who deny vaccines, climate science, and germ theory. The big difference is, we haven’t put the “scientists are wrong about so-called gravity” cranks in charge of NASA!
