💯. It's not these patriotic citizens' fault they're being used as performative props by a corrupt, mendacious, and deranged president. They deserve our kindness and respect, and now, devastatingly, our deepest concern and sympathy. 😢

Honestly, no officer should need advice to decide if "kill these guys flailing around in the water" is a legal order
My understanding is that, at the height of the "drone war on terror" that when the military officer thought the legality of a particular strike was legally dubious, they'd have a CIA guy actually "pull the trigger". I wonder if that is happening in our current "War on Fishing Boats"?

Absolutely. Doing this remotely with drones or bombs is no different than pulling up in a boat and shooting them in the water. If this isn’t an illegal order, hard to imagine what could be.
And unlike some of the finer questions of “was the president’s inherent Art 2 powers in play”, shouldn’t offing people who are hors de combat be clearly known to be an illegal order all the way down the line to the lowest Seaman?

That's the thing. Few or none of the Guardsmen are foaming at the mouth to do this stuff for Trump. No more than they were to go to Iraq. Maybe they agreed with the idea but if an HVAC repairman from Philadelphia thinks he's ready for combat, he has a problem.
I always think it’s dicey using soldiers as police. I recall MacDonald Fraser (very much a crusted conservative) talking about how, as a young soldier in N Africa post war, he and his comrades hated being aid to the civil power because they knew they weren’t trained for it and what could go wrong.

There is no demonstrable difference in crime before and after the Guard came to the District. They were made props with big, fat targets on their backs.

Trump is being hurt worst by exactly what hurt Biden. People are broke, and he tells them they're not. In Trump's case it's worse because of grocery prices. Trump says they've never been lower, and that's absurd.

When the party goes from nominating Mitt Romney to nominating Donald Trump in one cycle, yeah, I think a lot of it is about Trump. I don’t think that’s reductive.
I’m not saying it’s not good news. I’m merely stating Trump is not the only issue.
It’s very reductive to say that. He has many enablers and allies in this admin and party who will continue.
I’m merely stating is the focus really defeating him and not the corruption this GOP has normalized?
