Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?

That's 400 TONS of cocaine shipped to the US by Hernandez, the guy Trump is pardoning. Found guilty by a US jury and sentenced to decades in prison. Where does the GOP stand on this outrage?
Convicted of conspiring to traffic more than 400 tons of cocaine since 2004. We had credible intel well over a decade ago of Hernandez’s ranch used to transship Colombian cocaine arriving on small planes. But sure, blame Biden. You blame him for most everything else you can’t explain away.
Translation: There is no reasonable explanation.

Remember, too, that Hegseth would have been rejected if a single additional Republican senator — or, JD Vance — had joined Sen. Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski in voting no with the Democrats. See: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”
