The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.
They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

These people talk like they are fighting the fucking Albigensian heresy.
Fox News' Joey Jones justifies the US military killing survivors after an initial boat strike: "An enemy combatant does not have to have a gun to be a danger or a threat... if you leave anybody alive, they can signal and let others know what’s happening and they can also retaliate through radio."

📌Trump announced that South Africa would not be invited to next year’s Group of 20 summit in the U.S.
He is doing this for one reason -- and one reason only -- he is a bigot, and so is the majority of his grotesque core support, who are fueled by racism.
This is sickening, and must be called out.
