This is a hilarious example of how conservatism's pretenses to limited government, skepticism of majoritarian rule, seperation of powers, and respect for the constitution was always bullshit. But Hillsdale College in particular is one of the most instructive examples of this phenomenon. A long🧵
Lol, conservatives are too stupid to realize how embarrassingly dumb and horribly argued this essay is. Literally elementary school levels of writing and argumentation here.

Every headline about the Hegseth thing should read “ordered the killing of men, a war crime” because it unambiguously is. This isn’t a matter of debate. You can’t sink a ship and then blow up the helpless survivors, even if they’re actual enemy soldiers, much less random South American men.

Holy shit! Trump has no decency or compassion.
A reporter asked if he planned to attend the funeral of Sarah Beckstrom, the National Guard member who just died.
Instead of offering condolences, he said he would “consider it” and pivoted to bragging about his margin of victory in West Virginia.

This is an administration of murderers, cold blooded serial killers and psychotic, pathologically lying sociopaths. It is absolutely no different than being ruled by the likes of Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer.
And to be clear, in this respect, it is not different from most prior administrations.

5/ Administration explanation to Congress seems to be a bold-face falsehood: claiming double-tap strike was to clear debris, not to kill survivors.
"That explanation has prompted frustration among some members of Congress who say they believe the Pentagon was deceptive."

America's Gestapo continues its spree of violent human trafficking into concentration camps in defiance of court orders.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
