✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here.
Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
Trump has nominated MAGA loyalist Markwayne Mullin to replace Kristi Noem.
The Senate already knows what happens when a dangerous and cruel DHS secretary is confirmed. Tell your senators to vote NO on Mullin and doubling down on ICE’s lawless violence.
Here are more videos of Police/Feds brutality in Burlington, Vermont.
These are the people who decide for governments whose door gets kicked down and which children get dragged off to camps.
And name it after himself?
I cannot wait to go to the gas pumps and make some money!!!

“The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world … [gets] destroyed.”—Hannah Arendt, Lying in Politics (1971)
Eric & Don Jr. are turning the Iran war into a family business.
Trump starts war.
Trump bans foreign drone rivals (DJI).
Sons merge their golf co with Powerus to sell 10k drones/mo to the Pentagon.
Their own bank brokers the deal.
The ultimate conflict of interest.
Trump dances like a lunatic for a crowd clapping like trained seals as 8 American servicemembers have been killed and gas prices are up 30% since January thanks to his optional war.
Up to 3.2 million people displaced inside Iran by war, UN says - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/32-million-people-displaced-inside-iran-conflict-un-says
⚡️Russia committed crimes against humanity through deportation of Ukrainian children, UN inquiry finds.
The forced deportation and transfer of Ukrainian children by Russia throughout its full-scale war in Ukraine amounts to crimes against humanity, a UN investigation published on March 10 found.
Oh, I’m right there with you.
My anti-vax daughter says, “I do my own research.”
Follow the money…
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, a former fracking executive, was accused of manipulating global markets after he posted a striking claim on social media: The American Navy, he wrote, had “successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz to ensure oil remains flowing.”

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
Congrats!
Lovely.
Most likely Trump and his Administration are being blackmailed by a foreign country to cover up the Epstein Files.

Pete Hegseth gutted Pentagon oversight, calling the rules of war "stupid." He slashed the Middle East casualty team from 10 experts to one.
Then came the Minab strike: 170 girls and 14 teachers dead.
The Pentagon’s "inability to confirm" its role is the outcome Hegseth engineered.
Americans deserve immediate answers on how this data being used and how those responsible will be held accountable.
"If you oppose the war in Iran, you have to oppose funding and if you try to split the baby you'll look like either believe in nothing or you are too cowardly to vote your conscious.... Oppose the war on the merits & vote against funding."

“Bombs don’t delete crimes. Dropping them won’t make the Epstein files vanish.”
Want me to go even harder, like max outrage/viral style?
