If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

On tonight’s episode: Pam Bondi lunges at Lindsey Halligan: "You ruined my James Comey revenge!" Halligan yells, “You were the idiot who let the statute of limitations run!” A drunk Jeanine Pirro pushes them apart. Pam snarls at Pirro: “I’m not through with you, Miss Can’t Get a Fucken Indictment!”

What Pam Bondi and Lindsey Halligan did was not incompetence--It was intentional misconduct. They both must be disbarred. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/what-pam-b...

Understand that the Halligan thing is 100% Pam Bondi's fuck-up. She could have appointed Halligan Special Attorney and this thing would still be alive.
So it's not just that HALLIGAN is an incompetent bigot.
It's that Bondi is too.

Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.
