This is a lot of words to say, “Yikes! That Washington Post story about us illegally killing survivors on the open seas was 100% correct!”

A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

As Anna's thread highlights, his arguments are cheap pandering and midwit slop, hardly any kind of rigorous thinking. But he was never hiding the ball. More War Crimes Please has been his thing for a long time, nobody could have been in any doubt that's what he'd bring to the job.

Hegseth wasn't chosen as merely a Fox News buffoon who then bumbles his way into war crimes out of machismo incompetence. He was chosen specifically because he is, and has been for a long time, a proud, open, and explicit advocate of war crimes as a good thing we should do.

a lot of words, none of them denying that Hegseth gave an order to kill helpless people who were stranded at sea after he blew up their boats

I guess it’s clear why the lawmakers needed to make that video

Here's a gift link to the story that Hegseth is, well, not denying. wapo.st/49KbUJ1

I’m beginning to think the murders in the Caribbean are not about stopping drug traffickers. 🤔

On the one hand, Hegseth keeps ordering murders. On the other hand, that’s what he was appointed to do.

Trump says the drug kingpin he just pardoned “has been, according to many people that I greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly.”
In other words, Trump has no idea who this guy is. It seems possible, though, that someone’s beak got dampened.
