Pete Hegseth is a straight-up serial killer

No asterisk, no caveat, he simply orchestrated—multiple times on multiple dates—a criminal conspiracy to murder unarmed persons who the U.S. military code deemed incapacitated and not a threat and then went online and admitted to doing it knowingly

When Trump disrespects the woman reporter why isn't there a male journalist stepping up to ask the same question? Cowards.

Really, Mike Davis, time to consider leaving the universe. Attacking political gun violence victim Gabby Giffords?

You have wasted your life, Mike, and you no longer have any connection to humanity. Go look for your actual planet - because you don't belong here

When I turned 18, in 1980, I voted for the first time, for Reagan because Republican family values smaller government blah blah blah. The following year, no student loan for me! Oh, i see how this works! That was the last time I voted without doing my own research.

This is also true about RFK Junior
Remember, too, that Hegseth would have been rejected if a single additional Republican senator — or, JD Vance — had joined Sen. Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski in voting no with the Democrats. See: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Cruelty by design. This administration wants chaos. They want us demoralized and defeated. They want us tired and exhausted. They want us afraid as they do, what I believe is, calculated targeting. “What situation will cause the most outrage?” But they also want us angry enough to use as an excuse…
I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

BREAKING:

Republican-led House and Senate committees say they will amplify their scrutiny of the Pentagon after a WaPo report revealing that Pete Hegseth gave a spoken order to kill all crew members aboard a vessel suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean several weeks ago.

Or the laws of armed conflict. Or the Geneva conventions. You cannot kill people who have been rendered hors de combat in a military action.
Decent answer, but this is why CNN needs experts on the law of the sea on, instead of the usual political commentators. They could easily explain why this violates maritime rules.

43% is far too low. Most people have no idea what SCOTUS has been up to for the past 30-40 years. Nor do they realize how SCOTUS decisions effect their daily lives.

If the headline starts with:

TRUMP BLAMES…

Don’t read it. He always blames. He never takes responsibility. Unless it is for good shit that either never happened, or he had nothing to do with.

Trump lied to the nation yet again. He assured us, repeatedly, that this man had never been vetted.

Clearly he knew that was a lie, but he also wanted to use the death of a soldier to advance his own personal political agenda.

He is the scum of the Earth—and that is inarguable.

🚨WTF: Trump wants Steve Witkoff to lead peace negotiations — the same guy who’s reportedly owned by Putin?

This isn’t America First — it’s Putin First.
And every patriot should be sounding the alarm. 📣

Trump isn’t just unfit. He’s compromised.

President Obama served food at soup kitchens on Thanksgiving.

The orange felon shares staged propaganda photos of himself with troops from 2019 on Thanksgiving because he’s a 5-time draft dodging traitor lying criminal.

How far we’ve fallen.

All orders signed by Trump should be reversed because he’s not in his right mind. His name should be stricken from American history.
