Why are some people who are ok with these boat strikes not ok with the killing of survivors? Both attacks target people who pose no immediate threat. And both are immoral. If it is possible to take survivors into custody, it is possible to take all of them into custody.

And they're so *proud* to be dumb, mean, cruel pieces of shit too. They delight in it. They brag about it.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

He was held civilly liable for sexual abuse and slandered his accuser. He’s been accused by roughly two dozen women of rape and sexual assault. He was best friends with a pedophile. He bragged about grabbing women by the pussy and said Ivanka had to beg him not date younger than her when she was 17.

Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow.
The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake.
