Politics making me Grumpy. Blue in a very red state. Just a cog in the outrage machine. Occasionally irreverent. Not afraid to use Dad jokes or puns. Mostly harmless.

Ordering no quarter, as Hegseth effectively did, isn't a newfangled modern war crime. It was understood as a crime as far back as the Revolutionary War. Washington threatened to do reprisals over it. The bad guy in 'The Patriot' is (very loosely) based off a British officer who was notorious for it.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
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.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

I get so many emails and junkmail asking me if I want to access the equity in my home. More this last year than ever before. Some of them act like it's free money and they would be doing me such a big favor, not that they just want to make money off me and charge me a higher interest rate.

I've disagreed with so many other things she has said, but she's right:
"Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for."
