I’m running for lieutenant governor, but I have a problem. Nobody knows wtf a lieutenant governor is.
This is what is known in the industry as “circumstantial evidence”. Real ones know their 404(b) exceptions
“Should we follow the Geneva Conventions?” Pete Hegseth asked in 2024.
It’s almost as if there were signs!

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

President Trump and New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani emphasized common populist ideals and pledged to work closely together, a sense of agreement that ran afoul of nearly everything their respective political bases have come to expect from them. https://wapo.st/43IO9x9

Georgia state Republicans routinely ignore this kind of bullshit and act like it’s not a “state issue,” but many abuses by Trump (and especially this one) call for condemnation and response at every level of the republic.
Respectfully, what’s the debate?
The president of the United States has called for the trial and execution of members of Congress in a manner that would make Charles I blush.
As a constitutional matter, I fail to see where there is room for reasonable disagreement about what happened yesterday.

President Trump’s recent statements accusing Democratic lawmakers of making “seditious” comments to military and intelligence community members have ignited a free speech debate.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

Media standards:
1) No Democratic scandal on par with Trump-Epstein, so it’d be biased and unfair to five it much attention.
2) Trump wouldn’t be shamed into resigning and his cult of personality wouldn’t abandon him, so Trump-Epstein wasn’t worth pursuing.
Way too many think that’s journalism.
