Exactly. The operator isn't getting an order to "kill these drowning men," they're being told "strike grid coordinates XYZ"
The people who *know* need to be held accountable, and that's pretty senior.

Someone made the point - I think Adam Kinzinger - that the problem is it’s one thing to refuse to murder someone if ordered. It’s another to refuse an order where you yourself don’t have the full context and couldn’t possibly - but someone above you does/did

The way to understand it is to realize that the chain of command is built not only on discipline, but on trust. If you're a major in the army and your colonel says to do something, you assume - and legally, you are *required* to assume - that several officers senior to you already vetted it.
I’ll never understand the conflict that exists between “refuse manifestly illegal orders” and “but my superiors signed off on it”

It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Michael Wolff suggests in an email (in 2015) that if Trump were to say in public that he had never been to Epstein’s house or on his plane, Epstein would have leverage over him.
Which…means that Trump was at his house and on his plane and that Epstein had the receipts to prove it. So.

Hey SNAP recipients: your President thinks most of you don’t need SNAP.
If you don’t need SNAP, you should know he’s doing all this to double your healthcare premiums.
Groceries are sky high and getting higher.

The core reason Americans aren’t having more children is bc they know it will saddle them with soul crushing poverty. Flourishing families with well fed and well educated children are now only for the rich.
Moms already skip meals to make sure their kids have enough to
eat and Republicans just allowed Trump to take away the cake!
