George Will (yes, him) has a way with words -
"This moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans.
Regarding Venezuela, Ukraine and much more, Trump and his acolytes are worse than simply incompetent.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement.
A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself. As the recent “peace plan” for Ukraine demonstrated."

We don't know why Rahmanullah Lakanwal allegedly targeted two members of West Virginia's National Guard, just like we don't know the real reason Pete Hegseth keeps targeting boats for murder in the Caribbean. We do know that Hegseth more obviously failed the vetting to prevent such tragedies.
Dear Americans,
The media is refusing to stand up to Trump. In the past three weeks, he’s belittled three female journalists, yet not a single word of defense has come from their peers or colleagues. What a bunch of self-protective cowards.
That entitled rapist convicted felon insurrectionist prolific liar and fraud needs to be put in his place. He loves treating people poorly, humiliating others while the world knows he is the biggest criminal in American history. We really need a massive blue wave next November!
"Not speaking out does not make you neutral. It makes you a bystander. The main moral difference is not between perpetrators and victims but between those who choose action and those who look on. Bystanders enable cycles of violence and systemic injustice to go unchecked. No system of oppression can succeed at scale without bystanders."
~ Ibid., p. 69

Trump ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, signed a surrender to the Taliban and release 5,000 terrorist from prison and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.
Why is the President such a weird motherfucker? He can’t just say that a servicemember died. He has to say it using 5 different euphamisms in a row. It’s the Monty Python dead parrot sketch, but nothing about this is funny.
Anyhow, half of active US voters thought this guy was mentally just fine to lead the country. Is this an ex-country? Has it gone to meet its maker? Is it pushing up daisies right now?
