The CYA memo.
The memo purportedly justifying these murders also contains a lengthy section that lays out arguments defending the actions of those carrying out the strikes. In short, it *preemptively* defends them from potential prosecution later.

Experts say this is unusual. 2/

WATCH — @milestaylor.bsky.social : “The average 🇺🇸 family saved $1,600 a year from tax cuts, but spent $4,000 a year on Trump’s price increases — now he's realizing what conservative economists have known for centuries: Tariffs are taxes. And he's having to walk it back.”

I'm not a great fan of the BBC. However, Trump's attack is not against the BBC. It's against Britain, the British and British culture and politics.

Britain should retaliate by blocking all US Trump/MAGA-friendly media, including X and Fox, and nationalising Trump's golf courses.
