Politico’s Jonathan Martin says the GOP revolt is coming, they’re just waiting for the primary deadlines to pass.
In other words: they’ll stick with Trump right up until it’s safe to stop pretending. Hypocrites!

Well said. I believe that you have described the feelings of many of us.
Anyway. This has fucked me up like nothing I can remember since reading the testimony of war crimes victims as a part of a human rights case 25 years ago.
Human beings are human beings.
And monsters are among us, taking lives for sport and amusement, and broadcasting their murders for pleasure.

NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.

The only thing more loathsome than someone who lies to you is someone who knows you know they're lying to you, and fucking does it anyway
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."
