The Admiral was thrown under the bus in seconds. Rules of engagement are sacred, and everyone knows it, which is why the truth about what Pete did leaked. Pete and Trump are no leaders. And they are not judge, jury, or executioner. Those poor fishermen.

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

Drugs are not weapons.
Drug traffickers are not terrorists.
The US wasn't attacked.
Boats on open water far from US coasts aren't a security threat.
There is absolutely no argument for self-defense in Caribbean boat strikes, nor in possible war with Venezuela.
This campaign is lies upon lies.

This is fundamentally the wrong way to deal with drug problems.

The White House's lies about the illegal Caribbean boat strikes are so obvious and about such serious matters that they're floundering.
As @gregsargent.bsky.social and @jenrubin.bsky.social explain, specific strikes are criminal, but even more so, the entire campaign is blatantly illegal and wrong.

For instance the right has veered towards outright sociopathy because it is essentially immersed in a lynch mob 24/7, in which attention and fame are secured by endorsing ever-more-psychopathic expressions of violence towards a (largely hallucinated) class of subhuman out-group enemies
Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Four of Trump's five children have an immigrant mother, and the one who doesn't is married to the son of two immigrants.
Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

The National Guard wouldn’t have been shot today if Trump hadn’t sent them into DC in the first place — when nobody asked for them and nobody needed them.
Now he’s 500 more as a “response” to the chaos he created. did I get that right?

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.
