A ex coast guard admiral on MS Now yesterday had a good point about the boat blow up. He said " if someone was going to run drugs having 11 people in the boat would not be the way. Less people more drugs"

Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s special envoy, and Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law are negotiating with Putin.
Witkoff is a Russian lover pro-Putin if not a full Russian pastsy. He is doing a bang up job for Russia.

The admiral is being targeted as the only guilty party not Hegseth.
The real question I have is what will this do to the active military carrying out illegal orders. Would they now not follow through ?

Hegseth's a criminal. But do not hold him accountable until Trump and the crew are not where near the pardon capability. These crimes have no time duration. S wait until the Dem are back in office.

The more I read about Schumer, the more I think he need to leave Congress and let someone else run the Senate for Dems. His anti stance on Mamdani was, most likely bc of religion. No one in office should be using that as a reason, no one.

I was thinking about the fact that Comey's case was dismissed bc the prosecutor was not legally in her position.
Now follow my logic..
Hegseth is head of the "Department of War" and makes a lot of orders to be followed. But the Department of War does not exist. So are his orders invalid?

Guidance from Democrats to disobey illegal orders is of no use to our service members
Military orders carry, per law, a presumption of legality, as long as the order relates to a military duty and is given by a proper authority.

Is it not the duty of local police to pull over cars that have no license plates? ICE cars are private cars running around with no plates. Even federal and state car have plates.

Dick Cheney was morialized yesterday.
I didn't realize that because someone dies it changes the history/narrative of the person. Cheney caused over 2000 service members to be killed and 1000s more injured. Plus maybe over 250K Iraq citizens died in the war. Which led to ISIS.
