Even by Trump's standards, his posts tonight were cray-cray.

Here are some highlights:
- Michelle Obama used Biden's autopen during his last days in the White House
- Free Tina Smith from prison in Colorado
-Somalians in Minnesota
-Gavin Newsom stole money from fire victims

That isn't even the craziest thing that Trump posted tonight!

Trump also posted:
- John Durham's report was found in a burn bag
- Nancy Pelosi planned Jan 6th for 2 yrs
- President of Venezuela surrendered to Trump
- Elon saved the 2024 election from being stolen
- President Obama committed treason

One of the military’s most critical lines of accountability is now a closed-circuit conspiracy carousel.

All that the imprisoned, ah, drug-friendly former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández had to do to wrangle a pardon out of Trump was claim that the American justice system had subjected him to a "political persecution."

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

The Trump administration effectively says that no one should ever work with Americans during wartime; that our promises mean nothing, our word is dust, and we will throw our allies under the bus the moment we want.

In any future armed conflict, who would ever trust us again?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

And a bunch of other companies that coincidentally have business in front of the Trump Administration right now.

So are these companies getting special favors in return? I’m pressing for answers.

It is interesting to me how the media seems far less interested in Trump's Murder Memo than you'd expect. Only a few reporters seem to be even trying to get a hold of it, and very few commentators are talking about it. Contrast that with Bush's torture memo, which was a national obsession. Weird.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

It gets even darker than that. 1/
