Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele. Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of

Appalling. Even for him.
As the film world and people of good taste around the world mourn the sudden death of legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer, President Donald Trump jumped to make the apparent double homicide about himself. Read: https://t.co/mf2OPXrKea

400,000 children died, mostly from starvation, because of Trump, DOGE, Musk, Vought, and Rubio
Trump entered the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for his Thanksgiving feast to the song “We Are the World,” a song used to raise money to help starving children. Trump himself has cut aid to address global famine and has fought for the right to cut food stamps from American families.

This is a damn lie. They stopped in Qatar. He was vetted to even work for the CIA in Afghanistan. He as vetted to get asylum. These are lies to spread racism and hate to an entire community. One man did this. ONE! Let’s find out why before we attack thousands of innocent people.
Jeanine Pirro: "Look, there was no vetting. If you think there was vetting I have a bridge to sell you. If you see the chaos that was going on at that airport in Kabul in Afghanistan, it was typical of what was going on in the Biden administration."

My God. This @WSJ piece on Trump, Witkoff and Kushner's venality for Russian business deals from which they will personally profit at the price of selling Ukraine into Russian slavery and despair is devastating and ugly. https://t.co/uAUaOkz5TR

The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

This is a highly unusual order from a Secretary of Defense, and it’s almost certainly a war crime. In the strike in question, two people survived and were clinging to the side of the ruined boat, and a second mission was spun up to execute them.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't. It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or

Dear @SecWar: I read the classified legal memo. Nothing in the memo, or military law, authorizes a second kinetic strike against defenseless survivors. If the reports are true, then a war crime was committed. Also, there is generally no statute of limitations for war crimes.
As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors fighting to protect the homeland. As we’ve said from the beginning, and in every statement, these highly effective strikes are specifically

Bombing boats. Threatening to invade Venezuela. All to “stop drugs.” And now he’s pardoning a man who helped traffic 400 tons of cocaine into the US.
JUST IN: Trump says he’ll issue a “Full and Complete Pardon” to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, convicted of drug trafficking last year in the US and sentenced to 45 years in prison. The most lawless president in history.

To be clear…. The US would have been obligated to RESCUE the stranded individuals not murder them. The commander who gave the order is probably really nervous right now… everyone should be held accountable
It’s entirely possible Pete Hegseths order was a borderline warcrime. More info is needed. I wonder if the GOP congress will ask questions.

Hegseth ordered the military to murder defenseless survivors who could’ve easily been saved, arrested, and tried. Now he’s trying to court martial a Senator for merely reminding the military they’re not obligated to follow illegal orders.
Exclusive: Hegseth ordered everyone killed in the first alleged drug boat strike on Sept. 2, prompting a second hit to finish off survivors in the water in a mission led by SEAL Team 6. Ordering no quarter could legally perilous.
