Top-Republikaner wenden sich gegen Hegseth und fordern Video von Bootsstreik – Trumps Verteidigungsminister verliert langsam die Unterstützung führender Republikaner im Kongress.

They won the election. Now they want to get the senile old man out of the chair along with his merry band of dipshits and replace them with Vance and other “normal” republicans – whatever that is anymore. People who are shitstains but not entirely incompetent. 

>“Obviously, if it can be substantiated by facts, it’s a violation of both ethical and possibly legal requirements,” Tillis said. “If it is substantiated, whoever made that order needs to get the hell out of Washington.”

I mean, preferably criminally charged in addition, along with anyone else involved, but that might be asking for a lot with this admin…

>Senator Lindsey Graham said that he was still working out “the facts” but suggested that the attack could have run afoul of the law. “It’s a long-held rule that survivors of the ship attack are no longer combatants, and an air crew member in a parachute is no longer a combatant. You’re out of the fight,” Graham told CNN. “I don’t know what the facts are, but that’s general law. We’ll see what the facts are.”

That rule sounds completely sane, in-context. Once a (supposed) combatant is thoroughly disarmed and without defense, they’re no longer a (practical) threat to you, so at that point, if you believe they are some kind of criminal, you arrest and prosecute using the boring non-violent no-exploding-boats method.

So Trump finally found a way to get his presence in the Epstein files out of the headlines. Just kill a few people. Actually more than a few, over 80 so far.

The video might be Navy Seals approaching the blown up boat and shooting the injured civilians.

I’m starting to think filling the cabinet with tv show hosts, podcasters, and the Real Housewives of Mar-A-Lago wasn’t such a great idea

What I predict this is really all about (and I know this is going to sound crazy) is that they are using these strikes to normalize killing drug traffickers. They will eventually move this to targeting „Drug traffickers“ here in the US and will begin to kill people they deem as such, most likely political opponents. This happened under Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines.

Let’s start this with the premise that, when not at war, it is *illegal* to just kill people. Even if you suspect them of committing crimes.

Before we move off that to discuss whether it’s legal to kill two unarmed survivors of your initial attack who had the audacity to survive.

Why are we not disabling these boats with precision fire, then inspecting them. Pretty sure a navy destroyer can do that.

By the time this is over, you’re gonna see a video of a US Navy sailor pushing someone under the water with a broomstick.

Somehow the video will be missing or edited. Just like the Epstein files.

If only this had been blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain. If only Republicans in Congress weren’t rubber stamp providing boot lickers that confirmed completely unqualified people for the top jobs in the entire country. If only…

You would think the rampant alcoholism and infidelity would have clued them in before they confirmed him.

We’ll see how serious they are… I’m not sure they have the guts to oppose even first degree murder by their president and his lackeys.

I will believe it when I fucking see it. Republican senators are scum and I refuse to believe anything they say/is said about them until I see fucking results.

Dude thinks he’s a hammer and everything else is a nail. This isn’t the “glory days” of the CIA or any of that shit. These jack-off, DEI hires in the cabinet are so stupid. Yes DEI. There is no reason a dipshit like that guy, Miller and the others, should be in the positions they’re in. Utterly unqualified. But they’re white, somewhat affluent and love the taste of wingtips in the morning. The irony isn’t lost on me.

Rant over.
