There’s something visceral about blowing up defenseless men clinging for life in the ocean
I'm shocked but somewhat pleased the mainstream media is going all Watergate on the Hegseth war crimes in the Caribbean. "Morning Joe" (yes, I know, don't @ me) has talked about little else for 2 hours
I'm not 100% convinced that this is the turning point but it might be, with Trump at just 36%

Also they're just sick. They're killing people and whether you think it's justified or not (obviously it's not) that should mean something. Instead they're running around laughing like an axe murderer in some terrible horror movie. Completely broken people
There is absolutely no bottom. They will kill and murder and steal and break the law and laugh at every rule and institution until they are stopped. They think they are all-powerful and all conventional rules of morality and legality do not apply to them.

the administration is being cute about it now, but a funny thing about the Hegseth double tap reporting is that he made a lengthy huffy comment after the story published. He had a chance to deny it, and say (or lie even) I never said this. This isn’t a trick question, he coulda done that. He didn’t!
