Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here."

You can’t have war crimes without a war. But you can have murder. Bombing people who are floating on the remains of a wrecked boat that was “broken in half” is murder, whether or not they wanted or intended to try to traffic drugs again in the future. And yes, if it were a war, it’d be a war crime.

The level of corruption to pardon a drug kingpin who was convicted of trafficking 400 tons of cocaine while claiming you’re committing war crimes to fight Venezuelan cartels is worse than anything I ever saw in Nigeria.

Thanks so much for giving Senator Kelly a platform, haters! He's making gorgeous use of it and looking pretty fearless too.
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”
