Yo, DHS (& pass this on to Stephen Miller when you see him):
When my Jewish grandparents fled Nazi Germany, & “Aryan” neighbors took their houses & their stuff, the Nazis WERE THE BADDIES.
(Also, you’re wrong about house prices. But the moral enormity is worse than the empirical falsehood.)

DHS’s post suggesting “if you help kick people out of the country you’ll be able to afford housing” is OG Nazism.

If a man personally implicated in war crimes can remain atop the Pentagon, why would he stand by and risk his freedom should Vance (or Trump again) lose the 2028 election?
And unless Bradley sees the inside of a brig, the message to USSOCOM's chain of command is that no action is impermissible.

Seems obvious but...
The first strike was also murder. You can’t just up and kill civilians on the high seas and then claim you were at war with them.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.
