Ms. Misanthrope 🇺🇸

We'll both be puking together, in unity.

100 percent yes.

I could not agree with you more.

Kompromat isn't blackmail it's leverage born from lies. Putin knew what Trump hid from Americans: decades of Russian money, desperate deals, financial dependence. The vulnerability wasn't a pee tape it was debt, desperation, and deception. Truth is the ultimate compromise.

100% spot on. Opensecrets.org

Unfortunately, we always have been.

Trump says Hegseth "didn't order it" while Washington Post, CNN, and military sources confirm he did. Admiral Holsey resigned over it. UK stopped sharing intel over it. Bipartisan lawmakers call it a war crime. But sure "fake news." The adults left. Only the liars remain.

He's a war criminal. A filthy human being.

Annual Geneva training was mandatory for everyone in uniform, you couldn't deploy without it. Now Hegseth orders executions of survivors and keeps his job. Either they stopped teaching it, or leadership decided laws of war don't apply to them. My money's on the latter.

War crimes in Venezuela, vaccine restrictions from RFK Jr. cherry picking data, college students deported in defiance of courts, and Congress won't act because country clubs matter more than oaths. We're not sliding into authoritarianism we're sprinting. The guardrails aren't failing, they're gone.

I treated enemy combatants with more humanity in a war zone than Hegseth showed to survivors of his own attack. I followed the Geneva Conventions. At 21 years old I recognized that cruelty isn't strength it's cowardice. If you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze also into you.

Republican lawmakers won't hold Hegseth accountable for war crimes because it might cost them their country club memberships. Service members face Leavenworth for following his illegal orders, but Congress won't act because donors might disinvite them from golf. Profiles in cowardice.

Admiral Holsey understood what it means not to follow an illegal order .That's why he REFUSED to participate and resigned. He knew what Hegseth was doing: using young service members as disposable tools to commit murder, then abandoning them to face legal consequences. Hegseth is a war criminal.

The International Criminal Court at The Hague must investigate and bring charges against Pete Hegseth for war crimes and murder.If we don't demand accountability now, we're telling every service member that their oath means nothing, that the Geneva Conventions are mere suggestions not the law.

Admiral Holsey chose his oath over his career refused illegal orders and walked away rather than become complicit in murder. That's what integrity looks like. Hegseth ordered executions of survivors and keeps his job. Geneva calls this a war crime. The Hague has a courtroom waiting.

Two unarmed men clinging to burning wreckage got executed by missile strike on direct orders. Not combatants survivors. Not threats witnesses. This isn't warfare, it's murder with Pentagon branding. Every service member who refused this order showed more honor than the entire chain of command.

Admiral Holsey's Response:

Raised concerns about the legality of these strikes with Hegseth.

Offered to resign during a tense October 6 meeting with Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs

SOUTHCOM was concerned the operations were not lawful. Retired in December for following the law.

Multiple current/former military lawyers say strikes are unlawful

Targeting wounded/survivors violates Geneva Conventions

UK stopped sharing intelligence because they believe strikes are illegal

Bipartisan lawmakers including GOP Rep. Mike Turner say it could be a war crime

Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta: "no question" it was a war crime

Follow below here are the facts:
September 2, 2025: Pete Hegseth gave a verbal "kill everybody" order before the first Caribbean boat strike. 1st strike left 2 survivors clinging to wreckage in the water. 2nd strike ordered specifically to kill those survivors they were "blown apart in the water.

Hegseth ordered "kill everybody" SEALs executed survivors clinging to wreckage. Admiral Holsey knew it was illegal, offered resignation rather than comply. Geneva Conventions exist for this exact scenario: you don't murder the wounded. War crimes have consequences. Except, apparently, for Hegseth.

They worship annihilation as proof of dominance shooting survivors isn't strategy, it's sadism formalized as policy. Honor requires recognizing humanity in your enemy. These men see only targets and obstacles. Monsters don't suddenly grow consciences, they get more efficient at cruelty.

Bruised hands suggest vascular insufficiency or heart failure classic signs doctors recognize immediately. "Perfectly normal" MRI from a White House physician while visible symptoms scream otherwise? Nixon's doctors also said he was fine. We've seen this medical theater before.

Steve Witkoff:Trump donor's properties become official diplomatic venues rent paid by taxpayers, profits to Mar a Lago's neighbor. State Department has buildings for this, but why use government facilities when you can funnel public money to campaign contributors? Grift dressed as statecraft.

Thanks

Just once I'd like to hear a TV news anchor say, "Sir, that's not true, and if you keep insisting it is, we're going to end this interview to protect our viewers from further disinformation. And we won't invite you back."

Former Navy captain understands what Trump's nominee doesn't: shooting survivors in the water isn't strategy, it's a war crime. When a combat veteran grasps laws of war better than your Defense Secretary pick, you're not draining swamps you're filling tribunals.

South African immigrant who bought his way into government demands citizenship revocation for oath breakers. DOGE can't find mythical dead people collecting checks, but Musk found time to threaten denaturalization. Efficiency is whatever serves the oligarch's mood that morning.

America forces Indigenous peoples onto reservations, turns them into food deserts, then makes them choose between commodity programs or SNAP while 46% go hungry. We stole the land, killed the buffalo, and now ration the groceries. Genocide doesn't end it just gets bureaucratized.
