Closing the airspace over a foreign country is a de facto declaration of war but we’ve pushed so far into “let’s conspicuously underreact so everyone knows we’re savvy people not overreacting to Trump” that his de facto declaration of war is literally not even being reported on the news

There are 3 canonical interpretations of Mommy kissing Santa:

1. The narrator’s mother and father are participating in Santa cosplay kink (family friendly)

2. Mama is cheating w a philanderer disguised as Santa (unclear if she knows)

3. Mama is hooking up w the ACTUAL Santa (moral gray area)

The “kill them all” order by SecDef Hegseth would be a textbook war crime even if the original attack had been legal.
It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).

There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

“surely the warrior ethos doesn't require killing helpless men clinging to the wreckage of a blown-up boat… the law here is clear: ‘Persons incapacitated by... shipwreck are in a helpless state, and it would be dishonorable to make them the object of attack’”

Harvard Law School’s Jack Goldsmith:

“In short, if the Post’s facts are correct, it appears that Special Operations Forces committed murder when the ‘two men were blown apart in the water, as the Post put it.’”

A polling thread:
- Support for Trump and the GOP has collapsed over the past few months
- He is now regularly polling in the mid 30s
- Attacking Venezuela more unpopular than his handing of inflation
- Consent of the governed has been withdrawn, regime may be facing a legitimacy crisis 👇
Trump drops 11 points - 11 points! - in the past month in Gallup. Just a staggering decline. 1/

Show us the documented proof of your accusations.
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.

“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

All this talk about the the Trump administration potentially going to war in Venezuela to serve some well connected rich people’s business interests, when in actuality that’s a big part of why the Trump administration is trying to get Ukraine to surrender.
Extraordinary WSJ reporting today that unveils the extent to which Trump, Witkoff, Kushner and US business executives are salivating over business deals with Russia while Putin’s forces kidnap Ukranian children and bomb civilians in their apartments.

But that’s what she did. That reflects her values. It’s also reasonable to conclude it reflects the values of the platforms who feature her. ‘Sup, @puck.news?

Dear Journalists on Bluesky: I have a question.

Would you interview notorious liar George Santos, let him accuse female journalists reporting on him of being literal and not metaphorical prostitutes, refrain from any pushback, then publish and promote the interview for clicks?

/3 Many journalists - well, let’s call them typists - platform George Santos. One sympathizes. Everyone’s got to eat. George Santos is a human car crash. He gets attention. The fact that he’s a notorious unregenerate liar is not a barrier to typists who see truth as an aesthetic option.
