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

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.

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.

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.

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.
