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.

Pardoning a high-level trafficker while simultaneously claiming trafficking justifies war crimes is peak MAGA.

They say ‘fake it ’til you make it’, which might have proved embarrassing to the woman who once wore this snake bracelet, if the gilding chipped off at a party … to reveal the bronze beneath. Discount luxury, same as it ever was. 🏺 1/

This is what Trump and his monkeys - the whole MAGA movement really - depend on as justification for their depravity: "Butwhutabout . . . ?"
Falling short of a standard doesn't isn't a reason to abandon standards. It's a reason to strive harder to meet them, to be a better country not a worse one.

I know military folks have their oath and aren't supposed to obey illegal orders or commit war crimes, but like .. the entire history of the US military.

The former USAREUR commander & commander of an armored division in Iraq speaks with moral, ethical and legal authority on something he knows first-hand, but the thing to remember here is, Pete Hegseth was a US Army major and was taught all of this as well. Hegseth's knowingly committing war crimes.
@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

Republicans in both houses of Congress cravenly choose to support a caudillo over their own responsibility to the US Constitution and the American people; that they do it by pretending they don't know anything about anything makes it even more ludicrous and pathetic.
Vote these spineless cowards out of their majorities so we can actually have some oversight on this serial criminality.
