The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

BREAKING: MAGA Congressman Mike Turner reveals that Republican lawmakers are "very concerned" about Pete Hegseth's "double-tap" strike and says that the victims should have been arrested and tried in court.

Even Republicans are afraid to defend this horrifying war crime...

“Quite frankly, the many members have very much concerns as to whether or not the accuracy of what information is being used is to the level for us to even know what’s happening in this area, and the members are very concerned,” Turner said during an appearance on "Morning Joe.”

“These individuals, if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty — if they were found guilty — of criminal activity for which they’re not subject to capital punishment,” he continued. “They would be put in jail. They wouldn’t be subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed, not held and put in prison."

It really is that simple. Even if the victims of Hegseth's strike really were drug smugglers (a dubious claim given the dearth of evidence presented) they should not have been extrajudicially executed. We are a nation of laws and drug trafficking does not carry a death penalty in the United States. These people should have been detained, questioned, and tried in court if they were found to be breaking the law.

Instead, Hegseth and Trump are waging a murderous terror campaign across the Caribbean, indiscriminately blowing up boats full of people to excite the xenophobic MAGA base and terrify migrants and Latin American governments.

It's time for a full Congressional investigation. If laws were broken, people must be prosecuted.

Reportedly Trump has already blasted over a dozen boats this way, without a declaration of war.
By standard of International convention, isn't Trump therefore perpetrating an act of war?

But congress makes issue of the double-tap?

It's OK when everyone aboard is killed, but if there are any survivors, finishing them off is the problem?

If you have an opportunity to see the pilot, you might enjoy it. It seems to have been substantially better than any episode in the series.

Context matters.
What's the time, date, and location of this quoted presidential disclosure?

Issues have been made about Trump drowsiness lately.
Is medication involved?
Silence (non-disclosure) is not a lie?

And the graphic in #1,979 raises some questions about the credibility of the meme.
The two red stars conveniently located in Trump's background.

As President Trump has the authority and the capacity to end humanity, the People of the United States have a citizenship obligation.
"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." John Philpot Curran (1750-1817)

As President Trump has the authority and the capacity to terminate humanity, the People of our solar system have a legitimate right to if not full disclosure, at least adequate disclosure.
If a loaded gun is held to your head, you have legitimate reason to know. Is the gunman competent? Read post #1,979 again, and then you tell me. "What language is this???"
 

"Meet the Navy admiral the Trump admin. says is responsible for 'double-tap' incident​

The Trump administration is laying responsibility for a second strike that killed Venezuela boat strike survivors on Bradley rather than on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth." #1,974
The issue congress may address, an issue already dividing congress along partisan lines, was killing the survivors of the strike that disabled and overturned the boat,
was killing them a "war crime"?

Did Hegseth fire some? Let's go with yes.
Did Hegseth say they were "not well suited to offer advice on legal orders"? Specifically? I don't recall such a quotation.

There are various approaches, techniques for lying. Some make an effort to replace the truth with something plausible, perhaps in hope of avoiding discovery.
"The primitive simplicity of their minds (the masses) rend them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell the big ones ...
The victor will never be asked if they told the truth. ... Success is the sole earthly judge of right & wrong."
"Truth is not as important as success." Adolf Hitler
The Trump administration seems to have reached a stage where plausibility is insignificant, legitimacy not worth the effort.
