Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020.
Both were later sentenced to life in prison!

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

Pete Hoesktra was the Republican member of Congress whose constituent, Veronica Bowers, was killed in a mistaken shoot down of her plane. He spoke out VERY forcefully against Bush’s reckless policy two decades ago. Someone should ask him if he supports Trump’s policy in Venezuela today.🧵
There are many reasons we don’t let drug warriors play judge, jury, and executioner — like killing innocent civilians. No doubt Hegseth would have cheered this shoot down of a suspected drug flight over Peru in 2001. Whoops, it turned out to be US missionary Veronica Bowers & infant daughter.

The first strike was also murder. You can’t just up and kill civilians on the high seas and then claim you were at war with them.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.
