@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing:

420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power.

MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

President Biden's pardon of his son Hunter was proper & advances justice
