"In short order, Trump has managed to corrupt the Supreme Court, the Department of Justice, and the senior leadership of the US military (among other government agencies). He did so by compromising, neutralizing, or replacing small groups of leaders in each of those organs of democracy."

The fact Americans appear to be accepting that their government can commit war crimes with impunity should be a clarion call.

When the fuck will you all wake up???

At least 87 people have now been murdered in strikes on 23 *suspected* drug boats as part of a campaign, dubbed Operation Southern Spear, that the #Trump admin has claimed is aimed at curtailing narcotics trafficking [but is really about #oil & US #supremacy].

Alongside the post is a 21-second-long #SnuffFilm showing the boat being struck.

Thursday’s strike comes as the #Pentagon is facing bipartisan criticism over a September attack on an *alleged* drug vessel in which the #military fired follow-up strikes, killing surviving crew members.

Rep Himes agrees with Senator Reed:🚨"What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service. Under the #DOD manual for abiding by the laws of armed conflict, the example given of an impermissible action is attacking a shipwreck. Any American who sees the video will see the United States military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

"Hegseth has chosen the wrong man to pick on with his threat to court martial Senator Mark Kelly. The person who should be brought back into uniformed service to face a court martial is Hegseth himself."

"Kingsley Wilson, Trump’s newly installed Pentagon press secretary, stepped to the microphone and declared that the boat strikes, including the follow-on strike that killed the survivors, were 'presidentially directed.' Her exact words were, 'The Secretary has been very clear in every statement that we’ve released about these strikes that they are presidentially directed."

"What has unfolded this week is among the most chilling developments yet of this Trump regime. The White House, already under intense scrutiny for the deadly boat strikes off the coast of Venezuela, has now made a catastrophic admission. And it came directly from the podium of the Department of Defense."

Rep #JimHimes of Connecticut, the top #Democrat on the #House #Intelligence Cmte, commented after seeing a video of two boat strike #survivors in what he said was “clear distress” at the #classified morning briefing.

“Admiral Bradley has a storied career, & he has my respect &…the respect of all of us,” Himes said on CNN.
