It's true: No other administration in American history has worked so hard to protect pedophiles. Their work *is* historic.

There was a time when I never thought about RFK, Jr, or Kash Patel, or JD Vance, or Stephen Miller, or any number of these other fucks. And there will be a time when nobody ever thinks about them again. And I sincerely hope we all live to see that time.

Listening to Kash Patel speaking now reminds me that for most of my life I heard the heads of Federal agencies speaking in a professional and knowledgeable tone. But now I hear mostly play acting from reality tv people who are completely out of their depths.

This is where we are now. Families are starving in the wealthiest nation in the world.
Meanwhile the president is intentionally trying to cut off food for hungry people who live in states that did not vote for him.
It's not just immoral — it's un-American.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?
Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.
He served for 37 years.

In a petition to the premier human rights watchdog in the Americas, the first challenge to U.S. military strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats argues that the death was an extrajudicial killing.

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.

First this administration engages in all sorts of misdirection about the second strike on the boat.
Now they’ve just decided to try and pin it on an admiral to save Pete Hegseth’s job.
It’s repulsive to see tough-guy Hegseth scamper for cover. He should resign.

If blowing up survivors in the water was the right thing to do because they are “narco-terrorists” (trust us, bro) and deserve no quarter, why did we rescue two other survivors in a different strike, fly them home, and let them go free?

My friends, there is no ‘Department of War’ or ‘Secretary of War’ in America.
There is a Department of Defense and a Secretary of Defense.
Neither has the right to murder.
“Kill them all” is a confession to murder under American law.
