In other words, Hegseth was outed as a war criminal by a fellow Iraq vet who got the story from presumably high-level military officials inside the Pentagon. In case you were wondering how the military feels about him.

Hegseth should know that he can't trust anyone around him in that building.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

In unsurprising news: Trump is pardoning narco trafficker/ex-president Juan Orlando Hernandez as we're learning that he's actively green lighting murdering civilians in open waters for the crime of being narco traffickers.

Again... This man simply likes to murder people he thinks are beneath him

Trump's violent coup on January 6th 2021 fit expected behavior for a Malignant Narcissist with dementia.

January 6th was bad. People died. Congress was in danger.

What's he going to do at the end of this term?

How will he react to being impeached?

I'm afraid Jan 6th was only a warm up.

When you hear guys like Stephen Miller joke "there goes the neighborhood" because minorities have entered their community, understand that they don't WANT ethnic groups to assimilate

That's why racial covenants prohibiting people from selling to these people-including Jews-were legal until 1968
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

Pardoning a foreign president convicted of drug trafficking isn’t about mercy.
It’s about building a network.
Strongmen don’t rise alone, they recruit other strongmen.
When a U.S. president starts rescuing convicted leaders abroad, it’s not diplomacy, it’s alliance-building for a darker future.

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.
