It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Lemme see if I can remember from the Biden years what we're supposed to say. Oh yeah: "Watching him sundowning like this, it's clear it's time for him to lay down his burden and get the rest he deserves. How cruel of the people around him to force him to stay in office—it's inhumane." How'd I do?

The fact that TPUSA posted the entirely reasonable comments from the instructor here as coming from the “TRANS PROFESSOR” gives away the game.

They’re not defending students, they’re targeting faculty — as always
idk not to mention how very nuanced and normal the actual response here was

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."
Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.

Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

Trump can barely fog a mirror, his approval is in the toilet and other institutions have showed that bending the knee only brings them back for more but standing up to them often gets results.

Does the BBC think it's improper for a speaker to state their opinion that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history?

Because I think almost all historians would readily agree that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history.
BBC censors a lecture removing author’s remarks on Trump that refer to him a the most openly corrupt American president.

Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting.

As he sits next to the thug who ordered it.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Grant was president during the centennial, Coolidge during the sesquicentennial, and Ford during the bicentennial.

It probably says more about the general mediocrity of the presidency than anything else, but all of them were fairly unpopular and/or scandal ridden at the time, so it's a pattern.
Trump is gonna be President during America’s 250th anniversary celebration. Which is, frankly, fitting.

I don't want to alarm anyone, but it seems possible that Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. doesn't know what he's talking about in the slightest.

Sorry to get political here, but I just have a hunch.
RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.

In 1965:

-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.

-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.

-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.
