Ummmmmm, yeah. They are war criminals and there are more war crimes to come!
Over the past three months, the U.S. military has been firing on boats from South America, killing more than 80 people in a campaign the Trump administration says is aimed at drug traffickers. Now, top Republicans have joined Democrats in calling for accountability.

All Republican lawmakers should have to pass a litmus test about Nick Fuentes: "Do you agree with his praise of Hitler?" "Do you agree with him saying, 'your body, my choice. Forever'" or "Do you agree with his extreme anti-Israel, anti-immigrant, anti-transgender and anti-civil-rights views?"

Can we get a litmus test for Republican lawmakers? They should HAVE TO denounce White Supremacist Nick Fuentes. There was a time if a black leader breathed the same air as Louis Farrakhan, they had to publicly denounce him if they didn't want to be accused by the media of being a Black Supremacist.

MAGA has always been a white Christian nationalist project. It’s not the cruelty, racism, xenophobia, or homophobia that’s causing Trump’s numbers to fall. It’s the open plundering and hoarding of public and private resources by him and the oligarchs while they ignore the needs of everyone else.
