Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

When you have tortured yourself enough dancing on the head of that pin attempting to justify a "kill them all" law, which is nothing more than a Trump dictate that has not even been seen by Congress let alone passed, it might be an idea for you or anyone else in the U.S. military to familiarise themselves with an actual law that was passed by Congress.

In 1996 The War Crimes Act was proposed by Walter P Jones Jnr, North Carolina House Republican and was passed by the House on a voice vote and subsequently unanimously passed by the Senate. This Act amended title 18 U.S. Code to carry out the international obligations of the U.S. under the Geneva Convention to provide certain penalties for war crimes. Convicted under this law carries a penalty of life imprisonment or death if the conduct resulted in one or more victims.

In case you are tempted to go dancing on that pin again, there isn`t a hairs difference between the U.S. Dept of Defense Law of War Manual and the Geneva Convention where both recognise killing those hors de combat as a war crime other than being convicted, where in the U.S. the death sentence is applicable.

A few interesting aspects on this kill them all policy are now emerging. Contrary to you claiming Admiral Holsey U.S. Commander of Southern Command who resigned less than a year into his post after a Pentagon meeting with Hegseth and the Chair of the Joint Chief of Staff, that while it was possibly due to this kill them all policy, still ordered others to do so. It`s now looking increasingly likely that Hegseth, not finding Admiral Holsey keen on carrying out this policy bypassed him and got Admiral Bradley commander of U.S. Special Operations Command to issue orders to carry out these murders. Admiral Holsey is prematurely retiring in 10 days, but the really interesting thing is that since he tendered his retirement there have been no sinkings in the Caribbean and since that date the kill them all policy has moved to the Atlantic. Perhaps just one of those unlikely connected coincidences that when Admiral Holsey is summoned to appear before an inquiry will be able to cast more light on, including why he tendered his resignation during that Pentagon meeting with Hegseth and the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The other interesting fact - or to be more precise - a salutary lesson, is that when give an order or receive and carry out an order that contravenes the Geveva Convention the first ones off the sinking ship will be the big rats while doing their utmost to drown anyone else involved. Hegseth being the classic example where he is now attempting to put the blame entirely on Admiral Bradley for the murder of two people clinging to a sinking boat for somehow misinterpreting his "kill them all" order.

And in Tennessee of all places too. Not badly done by the Dems, and should hopefully be a sign of where things might be going.

I read that particular area was specifically jerrymandered to **** by the Republicans too, which makes the ground gained even more impressive

They aren't cabinet meetings. They are two hours of sycophantic ego stroking.

Apparently, Noem thanked him for keeping the hurricanes away!!

amazing that the cabinet and press core know he's in a stupified state, but completely ignore it.

The US press corp absolutely fúcking useless.

Judge Napolitano: I worked with Pete Hegseth for 7 or 8 years at Fox News. This is an act of a war crime, ordering survivors who the law requires be rescued instead to be murdered. I think it's getting beyond politics now. The killing is out of hand.

Imagine having a more right wing view, than Judge Napolitano

Yesterday they had every Cabinet member taking turns to praise Trump. It dragged on for 2 hours and Trump seemed the be falling asleep. Rubio was last.

they’ve had a few of them fluffing parties now. It’s not a functioning government it’s just empty vessels

you can see it starting at 6m40 in this youtube… but the whole thing is hilarious

Eric just another conman like his old man, just hasn't started on the bankruptcy trail yet but probably aware of how much Russian monies are in Trump Inc., via condo purchases.

One of the main criticisms of Biden was the feasibility of entrusting the most stressful job in the world to an elderly man. Trump is only one or two years younger IIRC.

And while he doesn't drink, he has an incredibly unhealthy lifestyle including diet and not engaging in any exercise. I also still have open questions in terms of if he uses drugs tbh.

I'm actually surprised he's still alive, honestly.
