This nation would be a better place if just one White House reporter had the courage to ask "what the hell are you rambling about, old man?"

Watching @alivitali.bsky.social and I’m begging folks to stop yielding to the idea that there are potential war crimes when there is no war— Congress hasn’t authorized military action. The DoD is simply ordering the execution of civilians in peace time. Crime against humanity is more apt.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.

They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

LONG RAMBLING EMOTIONAL THREAD:

It's World AIDS Day. Since the Administration has decided to keep it quiet, I'd like to share my introduction to AIDS.

I grew up in Seattle. My mom remarried a man who had a brother who was a King County Sheriff's Deputy. His name was Terry and he was gay. 1/x

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.

So there’s that, too.

Canadian here - I think Carney is trolling Trump. This showed up on a piece of Liberal mail today.

I didn’t see that. That’s incredible.

If a bunch of major retailers joined together to do the same, we could see real, and immediate action on the tariffs.

I think he almost certainly will. After the midterms he’s going to be handing out pardons like Ronny Jackson hands out opioids.

Will Trump issue preemptive pardons to Hegseth and Noem?

Look back on the controversial nominations that Trump muscled through. Hegseth, RFK, Patel. Disasters every one.

Since we aren't in a war, Pete Hegseth isn't technically a war criminal. He's just a garden-variety mass murderer.

I’m hoping they show this Hegseth post at his sentencing hearing.

So, to recap:

Washington Post story breaks on Hegseth.

Pentagon says fake news.

White House confirms the story roughly 12 hours later - and defends it.

Press Sec confirms that Hegseth personally ordered the execution of the two stranded men.

This isn’t going well.

Pete Hegseth must be investigated, removed and criminally charged.
After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk.
It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.

Pete Hegseth sure is proud of committing murder.
This is what the so-called "Secretary of War" is tweeting amid reports that his department ordered a second strike to make sure they killed survivors of a boat they attacked that they allege with no proof carries drugs (which doesn't justify bombing them even it were true)

I'm mostly trying to stay out of US politics rn but the whole Sec of War doing the example of an illegal order to bomb drug dealers and start a war for oil whilst the Prez pardons a drug dealer is a pretty impressive shitstorm
