The Trump policies that murder low level, expendable people while protecting the drug kingpins sure does resemble Bukele's deals with El Salvadoran gang leaders.

No, it's not that they are subject to a unanimity rule. It is that they all, independently, come to the same conclusion, and therefore there is no need to bargain. This follows, immediately, from the statement of the original position itself.

The investigation also needs to explore whatever intel they were using to justify blowing up all the previous unarmed people in boats.
Was any of it cooked? Who cooked it? And, when valid, would it justify killing the suspects rather than easily apprehending them so they could lead to higher ups.

The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating the strike on survivors of the first boat strike.
Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions.

We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Why on earth should you get over this? If you lived in 1920 and knew a Klansman, you should look down on him. If you lived in 1940 and knew a fascist, you should look down on him.

So one of my political sins that I know I should get over is that I do have the problem of holding Trump's base in contempt and looking down on them, and part of it is that my image of who they are is heavily informed by the one MAGA guy who shows up regularly on my FB feed; I'll call him J.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.
We executed multiple members of that crew.

It's good to see some real studies on the impact of inequality. It's a complex issue with a lot of side issues, but it's great to have a deeper understanding of the harms and not-harms.
"We therefore encourage policymakers to consider designing interventions to maximize reductions in absolute poverty rather than focusing on inequality per se."
