I simply cannot with this.
The r-word is a demoralizing slur that should NEVER be used as an insult. Trump did it yesterday and plenty of otherwise tolerant blue accounts jumped on board using it to describe Trump instead.
Take the pledge below to stop using the r-word. It is wholly unacceptable.

Melania Trump didn't qualify for an EB-1 visa and was paid for modeling in the U.S. in 1996 while on a tourist visa, which doesn't allow employment. Working on this visa is fraud and also disqualifies her. She also lied about work history on her immigration application,which is NATURALIZATION FRAUD.

Pardon a convicted drug trafficker sentenced to 45 yrs in US federal prison for moving massive quantities of cocaine into the US.

Yet extrajudicially murder alleged traffickers in the Caribbean with zero evidence.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Disturbingly similar fact pattern to Heinz-Wilhelm Eck, a German U-boat commander, who was tried, convicted, and executed after the war for ordering his crew to shoot the survivors of a Greek merchantman sunk by U-852.

Reminder that shortly after ordering these strikes, Hegseth removed the press corps from the Pentagon and the SouthCom Commander overseeing operations in the Caribbean unexpectedly announced he is stepping down 2 yrs before his term is up. What we are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Assuming every boat Trump and Hegseth blew up contained the amount of drugs they claim, Hernandez was responsible for bringing more drugs into the US than every one of them had combined. By far. And yet, Trump murders 80+ people and counting while pardoning the narco kingpin.

The reason Pete Hegseth issued illegal orders to “kill them all” is because they don’t want anyone finding out they killed innocent fishermen instead of drug traffickers. They don’t care who they kill.
