'Kill Everybody': Hegseth's Reported Order Echoes WWII War Crime In 1945, a German U-boat captain was executed for ordering his men to open fire on shipwrecked survivors. Eighty years later, a four-star SEAL admiral faces questions for doing the same.

Fair look at the historical context of what trump and his minions have done.

White House said Trump underwent MRI on heart and abdomen in October, with his physician saying all was 'normal' White House physician Sean P. Barbabella characterized the scan as "standard for an executive physical at President Trump's age."

There's this weird thing criminal investigators and trial lawyers do (I've been both) which is consider the history all involved in a given situation have on a certain subject, to include asking if they've signed onto falsehoods or doctored docs, unfortunately that's no longer a value in journalism

Nothing I've looked at or read this morning makes me feel better.

I'm going to repost these Corgis, they make me feel much better!

A week ago Republicans were up in arms over a video of Democratic lawmakers reminding American service members that they swore an oath to follow the law.

Now it’s becoming more and more clear that the Trump-Hegseth D.O.D. has issued illegal orders and engaged in war crimes.

Imagine that.

Speaker of the House has neither courage or morals, he is the exact opposite of the leader America deserves - which I guess is why trump likes him in that job . . .

That "animal" is a human being and this one suffers from mental defects - a lack of empathy for one. He misconstrues reality - like trump.

Pete Hegseth told US soldiers in Iraq to ignore legal advice on rules of engagement Defense secretary shares anecdote in The War on Warriors and rails against ‘rules and regulations’ governing war

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hegseth has a fundamental misunderstanding of reality - I'd bet, like RFK Jr, that is what made him attractive to trump - who suffers from the same illness, except worse.

Anyone that would follow Hegseth to the outhouse has made a mistake.

Trump’s Fury at NYT Explodes amid Fresh Concerns about Mental Decline As Trump’s rage at the paper of record reveals too much, the author of piece on Trump as “lame duck dictator” explains how devastating it is for him that his carefully-cultivated illusion of strength ...

"Trump has been functioning as a dictator...but it’s a vulnerable dictatorship. Virtually none of these abuses are popular with the American people...and it’s coming home to roost for Trump."

On the pod, @davidrlurie.com is good on Trump as weak, failing autocrat:

Killing Shipwrecked Survivors is Not Just Illegal—It Endangers U.S. Servicemembers If the United States chooses a path where killing defenseless survivors becomes acceptable, American servicemembers will pay the price for that choice.

2/2 Part of the pain in watching that response is knowing how the reported patently illegal orders will affect US servicemembers.

I highly recommend this essay by @marknevitt.bsky.social (Commander, JAGC (ret.)):

Trump Boat Bombings Suddenly on Shakier Ground as Damning Info Emerges Will Republicans give us a real investigation into Trump’s bombings, now that we just learned horrific new details about them? Or are they seriously going to fall on their swords for Pete Hegseth?
