Asked if he saw any survivors after the first strike, #Hegseth said, “I did not personally see survivors.”“This is called the fog of war,” Hegseth said then he began lecturing the press.#Trump said his admin will “start doing strikes on land, too,” after defending the strikes on boats. “It’s much easier, & we know the routes they take. We know everything about them. We know where they live.”#law #criminal #murder #WarCrimes #ExtrajudicialKillings #Congress #Venezuela #InternationalLaw

"The 28-point peace plan that the United States and Russia want to impose on Ukraine and Europe is misnamed. It is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else."~ Anne Applebaum#Trump #Putin #Zelensky #Russia #Ukraine #PutinsPoodle #NATO /9https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/11/trumps-war-peace/685024/?gift=ZIT7NMCmIj_IC4HqpIXYJsRdE44mON6SDp98rk0lviU&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share

@royaards - and while one might think the world would be too horrified to let something like this happen, it's bascially exactly how Dubai works. Not only is that fully accepted; people even think it's a nice place to visit. The risk of this actually happening & nobody stopping it is very real, in other words.

@JazzyKindaFellaoof, #sweden and #denmark voted against condemning #nazis too.

"The recent spate of Epstein reporting also fails to inform readers that Trump has been accused of sexual harassment and abuse by at least 25 women, from the 1970s through the early 2000s—including the time when he and Epstein were friends. Nor do the reporters mention that Trump was caught on tape in 2005 boasting about sexually assaulting women."~ Noah Berlatsky#Trump #Epstein #media #SexualAssault #SexualAbuse #coverup #misogyny /13https://www.everythingishorrible.net/p/epstein-coverage-largely-ignores

"What these votes should tell us, more than anything, is that these Democrats are not willing to fight for us, or to even fight for things that moderates and independents and even freaking Marjorie Taylor Greene want.They’re not willing to do anything at all, and therefore must be replaced by those who will."~ Wonkette#Democrats #shutdown #Trump #healthcare /12https://www.wonkette.com/p/caving-democrats-spit-in-americas

@Free_Press Who gives a shit about his cognitive ability? If his many, MANY! regular insanities, not to mention crimes, were not enough to remove him - and they obviously weren't - why would something he can't help do the trick? Also, dictators don't leave just because they become senile or crazier than they were already. Dictators don't leave, period - they're forced out or they die on the throne, as a drooling vegetable shitting themselves if need be.
