"Kill Them All"
I don't believe for a minute Admiral Frank Bradley went in for a second hit without orders from Pete Hegseth. But even if he acted on his own it doesn't absolve Bradley because the order to, "kill them all," was wrong; legally, morally and ethically. He has no legal defense for his actions. As a military career man, he knew exactly what he was doing, yet he most likely followed the orders of an alcoholic, former co-host of a right wing propagandist show. The reality is Hegseth is fulfilling a fantasy - one that involves taking the lives of suspected enemies of America. He doesn't know, nor does he care with certainty who they were. Bradley could have refused. He absolutely should have refused, yet like every weak, subservient subordinate he doesn't stand up to the regime.
As Hegseth sips on his liquid screwdriver in the Department of War, Trump is making money by pardoning drug dealers. So, this isn't about stopping the drug flow into this country. It's about money and power. If anyone is naive enough to believe that shooting alleged drug smugglers in a boat in the Caribbean is going to stop the drug situation in this country then I have a ballroom to sell them.
I'm fairly certain the orange man no longer cares or knows what is happening around him. His goal is to add to his bank accounts and seek revenge. He no longer tries to hide his disdain for women. He doesn't need them anymore. He's old and impotent. He's just a fat old smelly man who's losing his grip on reality. So while Daddy Waddle Butts plays golf and adds more gold leaf to his office, the orphans will play. He has chosen his minions well. They are all devoid of compassion, empathy or moral decency.
The puppy killer, Noem is so full of hate, she can no longer contain her rage.
Loomer has moved into the Pentagon, privy to confidential information.
Karoline Leavitt is an empty headed puppet who weaves lies from the foul breath of the mouth breather.
And instead of Republicans in the Senate and house fighting back because it has finally dawned on them that they are going to lose and their leader is a demented old coot who shits in his pants whilst eating his fourth burger, they are quitting. I've never seen such cowardice in this country as we have witnessed in this one year. Not only from the Republicans but from the left like Hakeem Jeffries who has already said there will be no repercussions for the murder of two men who clung to their boat and probably had no idea they had seconds to live.
As long as I live I will never understand why no one in Trump's entourage has said no to him. No one has said this is enough. Admiral Bradley, with one move destroyed an oath to protect America and uphold the Constitution. Instead, he became a cowering tool for Trump's legion of deplorables.
The, "just following orders," didn't stand up in Hitler's Germany and it won't work here either, Admiral Bradley. Whether those people in that boat carried drugs or a bucket of fish, you murdered them. That is your legacy.
