If you care about the United States of America you should want Pete Hegseth to be removed from his cabinet post as Secretary of Defense. He has brought great shame to the nation by his clearly illegal and immoral actions in killing the survivors of a drone strike who posed no threat.

I don't care if Admiral Bradley is "decorated" or "respected". If he carried out an illegal order he should be court martialled and receive severe punishment.

If we really want a return to affordability the ending of the Trump tariffs would be a good place to start. It's inflationary and a tax that the executive branch has no authority to regular and or institute.

To call an entire group of people garbage (Somali's living in the U.S.) is dangerous, racist and inaccurate. These are statements coming from the lips of the President of the United States. He is stoking the potential for violence against immigrants and particularly Somalis. He is a hate filled man.

Ever ask yourself the question, "Why is Trump pardoning the people he is releasing from prison?" Might be good to know his motivation in the light of what is happening globally right now. Is it just money? Is it quid pro quo now or in the future? Motivation matters.

Affordability matters. Trump is not in touch with reality.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

A question that must be answered now.
The Senate Armed Services Comm. could quickly clear matters up by asking the person the White House is trying to scapegoat — Vice Adm. Bradley — straight-out: “Did Secretary Hegseth order a second strike on the survivors of an alleged drug-smuggling boat or did you make that decision on your own?”

Cowards throw people under buses. Hegseth is revealing who he is to the people he is met to lead. He must be fired or resign now.
Making Adm. Bradley the fall guy in the Administration’s “Protect Pete” campaign is disgraceful & destructive. It signals to military professionals down the ranks they’ll be thrown under the bus for lawbreaking by Hegseth & other political leaders.
Hegseth, with White House help, tries to distance himself from boat strike fallout
As Congress vows accountability, the Trump administration emphasized it was a top military commander — not the defense secretary — who directed the engagement.

I did not witness the communications between Sec. Hegseth and Adm. Bradley, so I do not know what occurred between them.
I do know that the second strafing of the Venezuelan boat to kill the survivors is likely a war crime & murder.
We should find out who did what & prosecute everyone culpable.

Hegseth should be removed and held legally accountable.
Blowing up boats and murdering folks is a war crime, especially when there is no evidence to support the decision.
Hegseth is in charge of the Pentagon and he’s the one giving illegal orders, but he’ll blame Admiral Bradley to save his own skin.

Hegseth needs to be held fully accountable for what has transpired under his watch. If he is guilty of war crimes the punishment should be commensurate with the full extent of the law.

As always with Trump, follow the money.
The picture is coming into focus. Trump and Kushner want to make money off Gaza, Ukraine, Qatar, Venezuela, and Saudia Arabia. Decimate Gaza to build Trump hotels, align with Russia for real estate in Ukraine, attack Venezuela for the oil, and do trade/arms deals with the Saudis and Qatar. #Impeach

Full investigation is obviously called for. Let's see if it actually happens.
BREAKING:
Republican-led House and Senate committees say they will amplify their scrutiny of the Pentagon after a WaPo report revealing that Pete Hegseth gave a spoken order to kill all crew members aboard a vessel suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean several weeks ago.
