Entire presidencies have been squandered hiding Latin American foreign policy scandals smaller than the ones this president tweets out on a Friday.
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

In every other era, you could say of government scandals that it’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up. But here,
nobody is making any effort to cover up the crimes at all: they’re banking on the public just being too bored and racist to care.

So the order for the US military to launch these deadly Caribbean boat strikes was straightforwardly illegal under US and international law, immoral under long established standards, and on top of that, terrible strategy.
Not maybe. Not got to check with a lawyer. Unambiguous. Blatant. Deliberate.

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

I'll let other people comment on the vast illegality, the catastrophic societal effects, and the genocidal implications of this announcement, and just say for my part that the President of the United States is a real piece of shit.

Do you long to see the world, specifically its hallway interiors in Washington and Florida? Do like being yelled at in antiquatedly racist ways? Do you talk to your spouse about Donald Trump at a length that causes them real emotional distress? Life in the White House press corps might be for you!

It may seem callous for the president to be so casually dismissive of the death of a service member who died under his orders, but one must remember: she didn’t have a podcast.

Any time corporate executives are in a room together and don't know they're being recorded, the transcript is like: "Christ, I hate our customers. We're agreed that we all hate our customers? Let's lie to the IRS, criminally. Did I mention the Holocaust never happened? Put more lead in our soda."

It is 1:40 on the east coast, and this skeet could already be about three different people today.
just a reminder that the last time the Trump admin tried to pre-sabotage a future presidential opponent it got him impeached

Wondering if Trump attempts to court martial Mark Kelly for treason just so he can magnanimously commute his sentence by sparing him the death penalty.
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

Suddenly realizing that all the FDR stuff was probably because Zohran told him that if a president is really nice to the mayor of New York, they name a whole expressway after him

"Oh God, it's that psychically nauseating swinger couple tied to the Trump administration and responsible for thousands of preventable deaths. No, not that one. Or that one. No, not that one, either."
It would also give *Ryan Lizza*—who could, in theory, have leaked this info at any point over the last 12-16 months—a role in both RFK’s appointment and the untold preventable deaths. But Lizza either isn’t self aware enough to realize that or is too busy selling Substack subscriptions to care
well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.
