The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere.
Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.

The most dishonest White House in U.S. history (by far) wants us to trust them when they say every person in every boat they blew up was a drug runner. There is no logical reason to believe they're telling the truth. The whole operation isn't even about drugs. It's about stealing Venezuela's oil.

Everyday for the last ten years, Donald Trump has used his bully pulpit to incite violence against Americans for any reason he decides.
He is a terrorist.
His supporters are terrorists.
We do not negotiate with terrorists.

That's the part that sticks with me.
This isn't some Tom Clancy novel where they do war crimes because it's the only way they can get at the evil terrorist criminal mastermind or something.
Even if we believe them -- and, ha ha, no! -- they murdered low level drug runners. That's it!

It's goodβvery good, and very importantβthat district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Exclusive: Survivors clinging to capsized boat didnβt radio for backup, admiral overseeing double-tap strike tells lawmakers | CNN Politics
The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications device...
π¨π¨π¨This collapses the one 'argument' Hegseth had against it being a war crime:
"The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat .. DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE RADIO OR OTHER COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers."

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income β so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
