The military has long had a saying that “when you only have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.” When it comes to impeachment power, Democrats have long acted as if every problem is a high crime and misdemeanor. After two impeachments against President Donald Trump (including what I labeled as an infamous “snap impeachment“), Democratic politicians and pundits are back calling for the impeachment of President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) was the latest to prepare articles of impeachment. He is demanding the removal of Hegseth over his use of the encrypted messaging app Signal to convey battle plans and the “double tap” order on a disabled drug boat.
The Signal app controversy was a legitimate objection raised by critics. The Pentagon inspector general recently found that such use can endanger both missions and personnel, even though it did not appear to have resulted in damage in this case. Nevertheless, the Pentagon is claiming that the report is a “TOTAL exoneration of Secretary Hegseth.” That is hardly convincing. It is akin to Harris claiming that Gov. Josh Shapiro’s description of her book as “utter bulls**t” is a glowing review.
However, such a controversy does not even come close to meeting the constitutional standard for impeachment. Democrats did not call for the removal of Democratic presidents or cabinet members for such past controversies, including the use of social media and private email accounts.
The inclusion of the boat strike ignores how the war crimes story has collapsed this week. Even the New York Times and ABC News (and some Democratic members) now admit that it is not true that Hegseth gave an order to kill any survivors of these attacks or that such an order was issued by military commanders.
A finishing shot on a still floating vessel is not uncommon in war. There is a legitimate debate over the policy of striking these boats. However, in terms of the president’s inherent constitutional powers, he has the authority to strike such vessels outside the United States. Other presidents have asserted such authority. This includes President Barack Obama, who claimed in his “kill list” policy to have the right to kill even American citizens anywhere and at any time based on his unilateral decision that they represent an imminent threat to national security.
With respect to the laws of war, if the military had the authority to sink the boat, the commander could order a finishing shot or shots to complete the mission. It has long been common in war to deliver such finishing shots even when there are survivors on board or in the area of the vessel. The commander must not re-engage for the sole purpose of killing survivors. There is no evidence of any such order in this strike. The Washington Post based its sensational claim on a single anonymous source.
Throughout history (including the famed sinking of the Bismarck in World War II), there have been finishing shots delivered in sea engagements to destroy vessels.
The same is true with aerial attacks. It is common for the military to deliver multiple hits on a target if it is not completely destroyed despite the presence of wounded or survivors in the area. Once again, this does not mean the decision was correct or commendable in any given circumstance. Still, it falls within the discretion historically afforded to military commanders in achieving mission objectives.
In the end, the laws of war reflect the fluidity and uncertainty of military engagement. The “fog of war” is a reality of military conflicts, even with the added technological advances that we have today.
We still have not seen the full video and have not yet confirmed the timeline of orders. That will help establish if the successive strikes were plausibly tied to the mission objective of destroying the still floating vessel and stopping the salvaging of the drugs. It will also help establish that the boat and the drugs were indeed still viable targets. The latter recovery of survivors by the military would indicate that there was no “kill them all” policy with regard to survivors.
What is clear is that this is not even close to an impeachable offense.
Thanedar is not the only one reviving calls for impeachment.
Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta is calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump over his “hateful comments” about the Minnesota Somali community, which he claims are grounds for impeachment:
“What needs to be said that isn’t being said enough in our press over the last 24 hours is that the President of the United States said a blatantly, obviously racist thing in the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday when he said what he said about Somali immigrants in this country. That they don’t contribute anything, that they’re not of value. In no normal world should the President of the United States of America ever, ever say something like that to the American people or even say it privately… I mean, if the President of the United States says it privately, it means he’s a bad person, and we should get rid of him.”
But to me, that was an impeachable moment. There have been so many impeachable moments since Donald Trump has come back to the White House, but to blatantly say something as racist and as hateful and as nasty and cruel and mean-spirited as what he said yesterday. The impeachment proceedings should begin right now. But of course, they won’t.”
There is a reason why they won’t . . . because this is ridiculous. Many of us have objected to the President’s comments about whole groups in this country. It is wrong to attack all Somalis in this country. I have previously written about how many of these immigrants from authoritarian nations embrace the essence of our country in seeking a free and better life.
However, past presidents have also used offensive or objectionable terms to refer to groups in the United States from Hillary Clinton’s reference to black men as “super predators” to Joe Biden’s referring to school desegregation as forcing white students to study in a “racial jungle” or claiming that any blacks who do not support him “ain’t black.”
I also do not remember these critics denouncing the attacks on figures like Elon Musk over his nationality.
The suggestion that these comments by Trump are an impeachable offense is absurd.
There is little danger that such impeachments will move forward. However, if Democrats retake the House, the impeachment impulse will be overwhelming.
Shri Thaned….
I remain perplexed that so many foreign-born-immigrant-turned-citizens who enter the United States–(ostensibly the culmination of their dreams to live here)—then proceed to criticize, attack, and try to turn America into a country more to their liking.
I am further reminded that exactly ONE-THIRD (5 of 15) of the active U.S. federal judges in the DC Circuit are foreign born immigrants-turned-citizens, appointed by either Obama (2) or Biden (3).
Moreover, “”Of all the judges in the U.S., all five foreign-born judges of the D.C. court managed to get their fingerprints on controversial Trump cases.” https://thefederalist.com/2025/03/25/a-third-of-all-dc-district-judges-were-not-born-in-united-states/
All five of these are/were assigned the most MAJOR, MAJOR cases.
Three of the five were reversed on appeal in their anti-Trump rulings/decisions; the fourth has a pending impeachment before Congress for his anti-Trump ruling, and the fifth’s ruling is still pending on appeal.
They are Judges: Tanya Chutkan (reversed at least 3x, once by SCOTUS, in anti-Trump decisions involving DOGE and 2020 election); Amit Mehta (overseeing J6 cases and reversed for prohibiting J6 participants or members from visiting the Capitol); Ana Reyes (appellate court has suspended her block of Trump’s ban on transgender military recruitment/members); Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali (Congressional impeachment pending for his block on Trump’s hold of USAID funds); and the newest, “Sparkle Sooknanan,” who ordered the reinstatement of Democrat Susan Grundmann to the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) (still pending on appeal.)
Lin
Apparently immigrant judges are doing the jobs Americans won’t do.
Unfortunately.
Leave it to an unvetted-dullard to find the most illogical reason to excuse the OBVIOUS political stacking of the courts—you have not a whit of understanding that the judicial system has been configured this way, for just these results.
These “immigrant” judges are doing jobs Americans wouldn’t do because they have no allegiance, no love or respect, for the security and cohesion of the country: thye’re HIRED GUNS, blind one..
Anon,
Your ‘sarcasm’ detector needs to be tuned up a lot. You aren’t picking up the signal.
You are good for a laugh though.
NOT too clever, when the sarcasm can be read AND totally appreciated both ways. Sharpen your sword.
Lin, why would you be perplexed? Naturalized citizens have every right any other citizen has and that includes the right to criticize their new government. Just like everyone else. This attitude that they should be grateful because they were granted citizenship and therefore shouldn’t be critical of our government is pretty elitist.
Treating them as if they were token citizens because they were not born here is the attitude that gives them reason to be critical. They did everything by the book and expect to be treated as Americans including their right to criticize what they see as unjust.
This IS a nation of immigrants. The richest man in the world Elon musk is an immigrant. The founders of Google are immigrants. We couldn’t have had our space program without. Immigrants like Werner Von Brown etc etc.
X, would you be perplexed to know that certain people will undertake a “naturalization” process just for the “right” to not only criticize, but to aid, abet, and ensure a downfall of a country they scorn and enviously want to punish as “elitists”—
We were never a nation of immigrants you dolt; we were a nation of the ASSIMILATED with ALLEGIANCE—until your destructive ideology came along!!!
Good one.
Foreign operatives similar to spies
X is George Costanza. Mr Opposite.
Lin, why would you be perplexed?
WHOA… we have us an X post today without a single BBBBUUUTTTT… MUH TURLEY included! What caused that this particular day? (did everybody give him a round of applause when he arrived?)
How could a self-identifying highly educated apparatchik like X not notice the incredibly highly improbable statistical distribution that, first, this percentage of the DC area judges are Democrat voting naturalized citizens, that in addition, also have the necessary Democrat identity politics qualifications of not being white and/or possessing a vagina?
And further, within that subset demographic, this specific group of judges – allegedly through random selection – get the majority of the main Trump cases.
And continue to do so even after their decisions in those cases continue to be reversed, illuminating a high degree of decisions made with political bias or ignorance rather than application of law?
How did George X even make it through first year statistics in pursuing his Internet Law Degree and JD? Never mind fourth year where he now could have applied Krieging statistical analysis and recognized that something stinks not in Denmark, but in the Democrat Borg that is the Washington DC Bar Association (Democrat)?
Wait… there it is! The explanation to inexplicable statistical distribution regarding these carefully selected judges: Nothing To See Here, Please Believe George X, Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes™
“This IS a nation of immigrants.”
George X usually claims “my criminal Illegal Aliens are actually immigrants, and they’re the ones building this nation and you better call my Democrat Guest Voters immigrants”
georgie’s just licking his wounds and striking back after losing so badly yesterday with lots of people firing back at him.
Lin, reviving the No Nothing Party?
We are a nation of immigrants. A functioning democracy should allow everyone vote to make America “more to their liking.” What kind of system would prohibit citizens, natural born or otherwise, from voting the way they want?
Moreover, “”Of all the judges in the U.S., all five foreign-born judges of the D.C. court managed to get their fingerprints on controversial Trump cases.”
A “functioning democracy” by your definition is a syndicate (actually, a mob, improperly functioning in anger), so your base of understanding is way off. What kind of system “prohibits,” you ask?—A REPUBLIC where the “base” form of “democratic” impulse needs to be controlled with laws.
The right to vote is not about a self-centered “more to my liking,” but about the discipline and control of society, and accepting the voting results when they are NOT “more to your liking.”
YOU are teaching “immigrants” how not to understand or respect the republic and its laws….
We are a nation of immigrants. A functioning democracy should allow everyone vote to make America “more to their liking.”
We are a nation of immigrants – not a nation of criminal Illegal Aliens. Note to communist Democrats – those two groups are NOT the same.
We are a nation now plagued by a Democrat invited and enabled invasion of 20+ million overwhelmingly parasitic criminal Illegal Aliens.
And no, not a single criminal Illegal Alien, never mind everyone of them, should be allowed to vote to make America more Illegal Alien Democrat to their liking.
However… many of the Democrats criminal Illegal Aliens do just that.
Anything else you need a helping explanation and reminder of at this point?
Ask the Founders.
America is a nation of Europeans or “free white person(s)” per the immigration law of the Founders.
That is because – for most of US history – there were no laws restricting immigration. The “history and tradition” of the United States (to use our Supreme Court’s favorite phrase) is to welcome immigrants with open arms.
Prior to 1965, there were no numeric caps on immigration (outside of unenforced and Chinese exclusion laws).
” . . . for most of US history – there were no laws restricting immigration.”
Is there any chance that commenters can start with the premise: Is my claim true?
Yours is not:
Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882; Alien Contract Labor Laws (1885, 1887); Immigration Act of 1917; Emergency Quota Act of 1921; Immigration Act of 1924 (Johnson-Reed Act); Immigration Act of 1929.
(Not claiming that those restrictions are good or bad. Just that they existed, along with countless others.)
anonymous (1:44) can’t even spell.
It’s “Know Nothing Party.”
another clown.
I don’t see it perplexing at all. Legal immigrants becoming naturalized citizens… if you aspire to work in the legal profession in some branch of the federal government, where else in America should you gravitate and move to, rather than the area of the Washington DC circuit and the number of openings in party politics, the DoJ, and the judiciary? You sure as hell aren’t going to have that same career success if you choose Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, etc instead.
And having arrived in America, which party promises to deliver more government largess and potential political legal success to suit your tastes?
Should you want to advance your career as a politician’s or political party’s lawyer, a prosecutor, a lawyer working at some part of the the DoJ, or the judiciary, once you’re in Washington DC, which party should you establish yourself with in hopes of being picked and then able to advance your career? Republican or Democrat?
If the DC Circuit area were as overwhelmingly Republican as it is Democrat now, naturalized American lawyers who were recognized as conservative/Republican would be the ones packing their bags and moving to Washington DC instead to attempt to shine and hope they would be the next one picked up by Republicans for promotion.
That said, the fact that these very carefully selected Identity Politics credentials of being naturalized Americans combined with further street cred of of being either non-white and/or female judicial appointments ended up being one third of all judges, and then after that supposedly randomly getting most of the major Trump cases is pretty close to somebody winning the Powerball lottery twice in a row.
But this DC Circuit area is the turf of the Washington DC Bar Association. And they control the cesspool environment their members either die or survive in.
It isn’t about immigration or naturalization, or even aptitude.
It’s how that bar association intends to encourage, provide a welcoming home to, promote and support those who will get the job done for Democrats.
Whether merely as showpieces of DEI Identity Politics at election time. Or as major players delivering legislating and/or insurrection from the bench.

and then there’s the American fertility rate in a “death spiral,” do women have a duty to their country?
Canada’s leading Marxist femi-Nazi, Margaret Atwood, would like to extend to you her personal thanks for providing marketing material for her classic novel of female victimization under the subjugation of misogyny, “The Handmaiden’s Tale”.
If American women don’t make Americans, there will be no America.
But then, that’s your ultimate goal and fondest desire, right, comrade?
If American women don’t make Americans, there will be no America.
There’s a reason you didn’t tell us how many children you have produced so far for this country. You have at least convinced a woman that you’re worth marrying and serving you as a patriotic womb, haven’t you?
I’m trying to imagine you telling any sisters, nieces, cousins, etc (that are unfortunate enough to be related to you) that their sole purpose in life is to serve as one of your American wombs.
But then, it’s safe to just confine your instructions to the women and not the men.
You know you’d get a shitkicking from any man other than a beta male who was married to one of those women if you told him he was failing in his duty to impregnate his wife often enough, and fast enough, to meet your version of his American duty on behalf of the country.
But your fondest desire is to have power to tell women stupid brainless shit and some of them to actually buy into it.
Watch your mouth in what you say to those women near you in their husband’s presence.
If there’s any actual duty to this country like enlisting in the 20 years after 9/11 to serve this country in war, I wonder how many people yapping like you can tell people yes indeed they fulfilled that before heading home to repeatedly knock up your wife.
And no… freedom in America means freedom NOT to serve in uniform, just as freedom of women is NOT to be wombs for America.
ALL of you make the grave and UNwise mistakes of reducing wombs as well as patriotism to mere commodities to haggle over. This rampant cynicism is evidence of the diseased soul, thus the pathological mind. Nothing said in this “Wajahat Ali” thread has any merit.
Apparently, you missed Wajahat Ali’s point.
Turley– “Throughout history (including the famed sinking of the Bismarck in World War II), there have been finishing shots delivered in sea engagements to destroy vessels.”
Just an historical note, the Brits threw everything they had at the Bismarck and it still didn’t sink. German sailors sank it by opening seacocks before abandoning ship so it wouldn’t fall into British hands.
They had to abandon ship because an antiquated, open cockpit biplane, a Swordfish, flying from a carrier [Ark Roual] managed to put a torpedo into the rudder so the Bismarck couldn’t sail straight; it went in a big circle.
The Brits fired many finishing shots but couldn’t actually finish the ship.
But the legal principle of finishing an enemy is sound.
Probably more shaky is Churchill’s reported order for British pilots to shoot downed German pilots in the Channel who were near enough to France to be rescued by the enemy. I am not sure if that report is true but I accept it as necessary. The survival of the entire nation was at stake. One could only wish that Britain’s current political class had similar instincts for survival instead of an apparent desire for national suicide.
Illiberal Democrats are absurd.
The United States is killing people on boats in the open ocean.
Since there is no war (until trump invades Venezuela), this is no war crime. It is MURDER. Charge every single person from the person that shot the missile up the chain of command to the top with murder.
The United States is killing people on boats in the open ocean.
Hypocrisy check: Obama was killing scores of women and children attending a wedding in a country we were not at war with. And then after a pause to allow first responders to arrive and gather to try and save the still living wounded women and children, Obama then fired a second missile to kill them as well.
Hypocrisy check – Is this “MURDER” as well – and all involved should also be charged with murder?
You’ve had well over eight years since that became public knowledge to win some credibility by posting that it was.
No hypocrisy. I have called for Obama to be tried for war crimes for his killing of a United States citizen abroad and for his kill of wedding guests in Afghanistan.
Are you a hypocrite? If you think Obama killed people and should be tried, do you support trump being impeached for his offense?
Silence. hahahaha Dont do that to these fools. You made him/her realize that the law should be applied equally. And can we also get Bush and Clinton? Ford mad a mistake pardoning nixon. Jail a president or two or 4 and soon the lawless executive will no longer be a thing.
Call the DNC, they may help.
LOL
No hypocrisy. I have called for Obama to be tried for war crimes for his killing of a United States citizen abroad and for his kill of wedding guests in Afghanistan.
No you haven’t – not until you needed Princess Liawatha Fauxahontas Warren’s war canoe to run your false flag hypocrisy operation on. You had previous opportunities to make that Obama war crimes trial demand, including when Biden desperately killed one of our interpreters and all their childen in a desperate bid to appear he was meting out justice after allowing a hajji terrorist to butcher 13 of your soldiers and maim dozens other.
That was a perfect and missed reminder for you to then rush up and post here telliing us you wanted Obama – after he was safely out of his presidency – now prosecuted for what you would call a war crime now if done by Trump.
And spare you were making demands of war crimes trials in the Democrat-Marxist Mainstream Media Propaganda Complex’s short five minutes of handwringing after Obama wiped out that entire wedding party – or any other one of his 500+ drone killings.
You got yourself a very leaky false flag hypocrisy war canoe from Princess Fauxahontas Warren.
Are you a hypocrite? If you think Obama killed people and should be tried, do you support trump being impeached for his offense?
You are a desperate strawman-building false flag police state fascist commie Democrat. Your attempted strawman project is just another way of telling us your shit is weak.
You burned your own strawman by forgetting to include claiming you also demanded Obama should be impeached as well as tried for war crimes in your first BS false flag hypocrisy war canoe voyage. You slipped up yet again, you phony commie Democrat apparatchik.
But I’m happy to burn down your poorly constructed commie strawman completely to the ground.
No, I don’t now nor have I ever thought Obama should be tried for those drone killings, including when he killed Americans in foreign lands who were engaged in fostering mass terrorist attacks on Americans at home.
And if for no other reason, I don’t pretend to have all the intelligence knowledge provided to any president, including Obama, when they authorize a strike that the military/DoJ/State Department put in front of them and their lawyers for approval.
I don’t believe that any of them dream them up on their own in their idle moments in the Oval Office and that any of them don’t run those proposed strikes through multiple layers of lawyers first.
And especially Obama, who was obsessed with not being seen as “a wartime president”, who almost would not authorize the killing of bin Laden.
The other tell, you raging communist police state Democrat fascist, is your BS tag line claiming (a) Trump actually committed an offense, and (b) that he should be impeached.
You’ll have better luck attempting to sell your hypocritical false flag BullSchiff over on Rachael Maddow’s blog – where nobody will expect you to run a false flag Indian Princess war canoe claiming you demanded Obama be tried by war crimes long before this. Your BullSchiff will be automatically endorsed and celebrated over there without question.

Projection:
Channeling one’s actions onto others typically refers to the psychological concept of projection, where an emotionally disturbed individual unconsciously or deliberately attributes their own thoughts, feelings, and anti-social or criminal behaviors onto someone else.
This is an internal defense mechanism which allows that mentally ill person to avoid confronting their own behavior and guilt by seeing it instead as as the thoughts and actions of another person who they despise and hate.
Hey, boys, ^^^^ this is what you’re working with. Hahahaaaaa
Concerning Washington DC Jan 6 bomber…
“During the questioning, the suspect told investigators that he believed the 2020 election was stolen from President Donald Trump.”
Well what do you know, he is a trump supporter. Who woulda guessed.
So, when does he get his pardon ?????
Maybe he already has…
https://www.alternet.org/msn-uk/trump-jd-bomber/
Nope
He sued Trump.
Try again
an easy cop-out, hoping that a jury will blame Trump propaganda for messing up his little ole mind and making him do those bad things!
“When you only have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.” The same logic applies to weapons of war. When you have a lot of jets, every problem looks like it can be salved with a missile.
edwardmahl says: When you have a lot of jets, every problem looks like it can be salved with a missile.
Don’t leave us hanging: explain to everyone here how you could do it better if you had the powers of the White House instead of Trump, of Obama, of Clinton, etc. before him. Foreign policy experts as yourself have to know this has been going on at least since Clinton was directing similar shoot down/sink narco-terrorist interdiction programs all the way down South America to Puru.
Furthermore, the countries who DON’T have a lot of jets and missiles to address the problem of those drugs coming to their country instead i.e. Canada, would be extremely grateful to obtain your sage advice on how to successfully interdict the flow of deadly drugs transported into their countries by the very same narco-terrorists.
The Canadian province of BC here on Montana’s northern border is dealing with drug overdose deaths each year on a scale that matches ours. No excess supply of missiles there!
Help both them and your fellow Americans out by sharing your solution.
Or are you just telling us in a different way that you have delicate sensibilities that are offended?
Anonymous @1:04 pm: To accept your challenge, I will make the following forms: 1) smuggling drugs into this country is not a form of “terrorism” or “war”; 2) smuggling drugs into our country is a crime covered by federal statutes; 3) people who are suspected or accused of smuggling are not guilty of anything until they are convicted in either an American court or other trustworthy court; 4) if convicted, they are subject to imprisonment in accord with federal statutes 5) execution is not a penalty that federal law allows for smuggling. If we arrest suspected smugglers at the border or within our sovereign territory, and if they are carrying contraband, we can seize the contraband without court order. The main problems are the demand for drugs in the populace and the holes in our border. The former can be reduced by the kind of “Just say no” campaign of Mrs. Reagan, and the latter can be remedied by more resources directed to border enforcement. The worst policy is killing people willy-nilly on the open seas by jet missiles.
Response to Anonymous at 1:04 pm – If we suspect someone of smuggling drugs on the high seas, we should arrest them when the reach American waters. If they cross the border on foot, they should be arrested when they enter the country. If we have evidence that they are smugglers, they can be tried and imprisoned (not executed).
We have two major problems: the demand for drugs in the populace; and the porousness of our Southern border. The former can be lessened by campaigns like the “Just say NO” campaign of Nancy Reagan. The latter can be remedied by more vigorous enforcement. Both of these are better options than killing people on the open seas.
For several decades, a leader from one party does something wrong or illegal. The other party then tops the law breaking or abuse of power. Then the cycle continues where neither laws nor Constitution have any meaning.
No federal Attorney General will enforce the laws since both parties do it.
Today it’s team sports with no rule book and no referees! America no longer has a functioning justice system.
Although not fair or just, this requires “conditional immunity from prosecution” for law breakers of both parties to pass reforms. This is the only way our kids and grandkids don’t inherit this broken lawless system.
To average working class Americans this reinforces the fact there are two justice systems. The rich and powerful do whatever they want regardless of any laws. This class only gets in trouble when they piss off other rich and powerful people.
The regular citizen or low ranking soldier would get punished severely for doing exactly the same thing. Not equal Justice under law!
The rich and powerful do whatever they want regardless of any laws. This class only gets in trouble when they piss off other rich and powerful people.
The visceral Marxist hatred of “the rich” as an entire group is not confined to card carrying communist Democrats.
I applaud rich people, this is about equal Justice under the law.
FYI: any president demanding government ownership of any private company is about as close as it gets to Marxist theories, which MAGA voters support.
I applaud rich people, this is about equal Justice under the law.
First time a communist Democrat has ever made the claim they applaud rich people (other than the moments that billionaires like Soros fund their Marxist agenda), rather than howling their war cry “THE RICH DON’T PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE!!!”
Pretty beaten up paddles on that false flag leaky war canoe loaned to you by Indian Princess Liawatha Fauxahontas Warren, that you’re attempting to sail on that sea of communist projection.

Officials of both parties – all government officials – make a promise to GOD to follow and defend the U.S. Constitution.
One cannot hold authority without taking this supreme loyalty oath (Oath of Office).
What their promise to GOD actually means: government officials must follow the constitutional-laws enacted into statutes by Congress and state legislatures. Congress and state legislatures have a duty to overturn unconstitutional-laws since these laws violate the U.S. Constitution.
It also means every government official (local, state, federal) has a duty to protect constitutional rights and check disloyal government officials violating constitutional rights.
This constitutional rule of law protects the 2nd Amendment rights of gun owners and the 14th Amendment rights of women, African-Americans and LGBT-Americans. Like any law, it protects all of us – even the Americans we disagree with.
Conclusion: Assassination programs are always illegal in the USA regardless of political party. Warrantless Domestic Spying is always illegal in the USA regardless of political party. Torture and cruel treatment has always been illegal in the USA regardless of political party. The U.S. Department of Justice has never made “enforcement” of constitutional rights a priority to enforce. It’s always been illegal but no federal cops on the beat to police it.
Bottom Line: since leaders of both parties have dirty hands, these illegal and very evil practices only get reformed by offering conditional immunity from prosecution to government officials in exchange for constitutional reforms. That also means rewarding and making whole the heroes that tried to stop government abuses of power like CIA official John Kiriakou and FBI counter-terrorism agent Mike German and scores of other 21st Century heroes.
If you forgive the bad government officials (no prison time) that were disloyal to their Oath of Office, it makes sense to reward the people they harmed and destroyed. One thing is for certain, the disloyal government officials of the 21st Century aren’t going to arrest themselves!
Conclusion: Assassination programs are always illegal in the USA regardless of political party.
Conclusion: you fail at claiming you have been anointed by Allah, God, or any other chosen deity to force your version and definition of what “assassination” is on America. You haven’t even managed to get elected, cupcake.
You have credible grounds to sue the Internet University that issued you your J.D. for return of all your student fees paid to get that Godly J.D. Internet Law Degree.
Biden commuted the death sentences of all those child butchers, cop killers, and others on Federal death row – you and your personal versions of what assassination is will find a welcome home with the Democrats who also agree with you on this religious screed you just posted.
(BUT… only while it is a Republican and Trump in particular who is in the White House – after that they’re going to kick you right back to the ditch you crawled out of)
Actually they dont they only swear or affirm to uphold. Using a bible or god is only a recent thing for fake jesusy weirdos. There is no god. You dont swear to him a bible for swearing in is not required. 1st amendment
There is no god.
That article of religious faith pronouncement brought to you courtesy one of the acolytes of the Rock Fairy Religion Of Atheism – the religion and theocracy of Karl Marx and his totalitarians who have murdered over 100 million people.
Can’t provide a defense for their own belief – but obey their articles of faith that their primary purpose in their religion is to attack the religious beliefs of other.
Like Karl Marx – to succeed, atheists must first destroy everything around them that is an alternative to their beliefs.
Agnostics like myself would be less annoyed to hear chanting Hare Krishna beggers. At least they do it with a smile on their faces.
F*#K Marx. I think for myself. Religion is stupid. gods are made up fairy tales only the gullible believe. When someone says that are a person of faith they lose credibility. There is no evidence for dieties or creators. the burden of proof falls on the person making the claim not otherwise. getting rid of religions, churches etc.. would be great but I ain’t got time for that. Theres no atheist cabal out to destroy religion. itll die a natural death
Jon, you claim to be a student of military history. You really need to do some reading on the Battle of the Bismarck Sea.

He has probably known about it long before this, due to his regular references to military history. Military JAGs and others have debated and discussed it at regular occasions ever since the end of WWII. The conclusion is always the same: the actions in that battle were 100% justified. War is always ugly, no matter on how great a scale – will killed over 50,000 French citizens in occupied Normandy in necessary preparations for the Normandy invasion. And we killed just as many in the Pas de Calais with similar bombing to maintain our subterfuge that would be the point of invasion. Not even Democrats since WWII have called the killing of those French civilians under German occupation a war crime.
And if Professor Turley hadn’t heard about it before, he’s certainly seen you remind him of it over the last few days. I do appreciate you hoping he will abandon his academic moral purity.
What we have here is click-bait column-inches, combined with our host’s unyielding academic moral purity as his marketing platform to sell his wares.
Wouldn’t want to allow any little specs of dirt to be seen on the cuffs of his pants as he strides through the cocktails and canapes Washington DC party circuit.
Couple weeks back it was the Epstein files until it started to show democrats involvement, now it’s war crimes, next week it will be some other distraction. The democrats have caused more damage to the nation and “democracy” than any other political group in the past 50 years. Where has all the tax payers money gone in Minnesota, where are all the unaccompanied kids let in at the border, how many more attacks and crimes can we expect from illegals, why do you continue to protect criminals and attack law enforcement officers? Why not get answers to those questions “democrats” or is it Marxist now?
Margot you forgot the East wing insanity.
Oh No! Trump has risen from the Grave! Where is my impeachment crucifix! If polls are the voice of the people between elections my sense is they want a whole lot less of UFC and a whole lot more of bipartisan getting to the “yes” on issues that do concern the populace daily. But what concerns this writer most is that rage theatrics on both sides might make some voters on both sides feel their vote doesn’t matter. No voter should doubt that each vote is the most important vote being cast.
The only “yes” democrats are interested in is shoveling more taxpayer money into the pockets of their imported, illegal cronies.
How is an amish warrior using a computer? Fake
The illegals sure enjoy the EBT & O-dumber care.
You’re a fool. None of that happens
If polling is accurate, which there is every reason to believe is the case, the vast majority of Americans want Trump gone–and for good reasons. Among the reasons are: he is pathetically stupid, he constantly lies about everything, as do the ridiculous “press secretary, the AG and “head of the FBI” and other grossly incompetent and unqualfied members of his cabinet–the worst in US history, He abuses the power he cheated to get by lying, but one of the biggest reasons is that he is using his malignant narcissism to try to intimidate people–not just his perceived enemies that he has sicced Bottle Blondie on, who continues to persist in trying to, for example, indict Letitia James, even after losing before the Grand Jury. They continue to list 3rd runner up to Miss Colorado, Lindsey Halligan, as a prosecuting attorney on court documents even after courts ruled that she is not qualified to serve. Trump’s pathological narcissism now includes killing people on small boats in the Pacific Ocean that he and Whiskey Pete claim are “narco terrorists”, without anything resembling proof that they have committed any crimes–in fact, they blow up these boats so that any evidence that could have been there is destroyed–along with any survivors, who were murdered on the orders of we really don’t know who–but they could not possibly have been trying to “signal” other “narco terrorists” nor could they possibly constitute any kind of threat to our Navy or Coast Guard. Whiskey Pete lies by claiming that he knows who these people are and what they are doing, and produces no proof because he doesn’t have any. So, he gets a career military officer to lie about the risk that 2 men clinging to a shipwreck posed to the US Navy, and losers like Tom Cotton to try to defend this outrageous breach of the Geneva Convention. We aren’t even at war, but if we were, the US military still can’t murder unarmed survivors of a shipwreck. Those small boats with outboard engines, 1,700 miles from the nearest coastine of the US, could not possibly constitute any threat to the US.
BUT, threat to the US by drug smuggling was never the issue, if it were, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned that cocaine kingpin who rules Honduras, who exported tons of cocaine to the US. The overarching aim is this: to show the world that Trump can lie, kill people AND get away with it–that Congress will not stop him as long as Republicans are in control. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE POWER, THE NARCISSISM, THE CONTROL. He and his “cabinet” absolutely refuse to yield to the Constitutional power of Congress to declare war, to conduct oversight, and refuse to be held accountable. When called to testify before Congress, Bottle Blondie and Kashyip Patel openly insult members of Congress and refuse to answer questions. That pathetic “press secretary” lies every time she stands at the microphone, all while wearing the cross of Jesus. Whiskey Pete won’t allow any media into the Pentagon unless they agree to permit him to approve whatever they publish. Even Turley’s boss, Faux News, wouldn’t go along with that one–so all “media” that are there are MAGA media–a total violation of the First Amendment. Barring real journalists from the Pentagon isn’t enough—Trump goes after mainstream media. Even if he doesn’t win, he costs them money—it’s all about intimidation, POWER, CONTROL.
Trump is dangerous, and needs to be removed from office. But, because the pathetic mental patient can’t stand to lose, his personal SCOTUS has greenlighted gerrymandering. AND, in states he thinks he can push around, Republicans are running ads with a similar theme as today’s little piece–they want to impeach Trump. Damn right–the sooner the better.
Boring.
A bag of hot wind collected at the sewer plant.
have you thought about seeing a therapist?
Anon, reminds me of snl jeopardy with Sean Connery. I’ll take
the rapist for 1000, trapper.
Therapist.
Suspicion is growing that Trump is going to run for a third term as a democrat! So you will love him long time then!
He cant shut up
Nope the MSN can’t shut up
like seriously Amish on a computer? just stop
Among the reasons are: he is pathetically stupid, he constantly lies about everything
If one didn’t see the word “Trump”, one would think this was a detailed description of The Oval Office House Plant, who as we all know drove commercial trucks, was arrested first while marching with MLK and then again attempting to visit Nelson Mandela, and who at one point made the hard decision of turning down an invitation from the Naval College to play football with Roger Staubach.
And of course, his genius choices for Vice President, cabinet, judges, etc, based on skin color, vagina-no vagina, tranny-no tranny, and Alphabet Sex Pride Tribe membership.
It would have been far simpler (and more likely to be read beyond the first sentence or two) if he had just posted: BBBBUUUTTTTT…. MUH TRUMP!!!!! HE REPLACED MUH BIDEN!!!!!
After the hearing on the drug boat strikes ended the Democrat spokesman said, In my long career in politics I have never seen anything like it. He forgot to tell us that he has seen evidence of thousands of Americans dying from drug overdoses and he has done nothing about. False sanctimony makes the stomach churn and it takes awhile for the taste of bile to be washed from the palate.
WHERE is the proof that these people in boats even HAD narcotics? WHY kill all the survivors and make sure that the boats went to Davy Jones’s locker, other than to destroy proof that what they were doing is wrong and they KNOW it? The fact is, there is no proof that these boats were smuggling anything, and they weren’t even close to the US. It’s more of Trump’s narcissism on display, and since Trump, Whiskey Pete and everyone else under Trump’s control constantly lie, there is no reason to believe anything they say about anything. Ever.
WHERE is the proof that these people in boats even HAD narcotics?
Doin’ The Democrat Hypocrisy Happy Dance!
Would you consider admitting we have more proof of narcotics than you have proof that all the women and children that were attending a wedding were also terrorists just like the suspected terrorist, when Obama fired a missile into their midst?
More proof for these boats carrying few people having narcotics, than you have proof that the second missile Obama fired into the first responders who rushed to the scene were actually all terrorists themselves and thus were also legitimately killed by that second missile?
“The fact is, there is no proof that these boats were smuggling anything”
Gaslighting
Gaslighting is the intended psychological manipulation by a low-IQ perpetrator of those they hope to victimize through intentionally misleading that person or group. This involves the perpetrator lying, denying events, and other methods used in the hope their intended victims doubt their perceptions of reality, memories, and feel overly emotional or irrational.
The main five methods of gaslighting that may be used alone or in conjunction with others are: lying, blame shifting, countering, trivializing and withholding.
So no proof?
So please tell us, why would a fisherman need a boat with three or four high speed engines.
Not fishing that’s for sure.
So no proof? You say smuggling drugs. I say what proof. You don’t have proof so you can’t say there’s drugs. So no proof is no proof?
Why would you spend big buck for fast fishing boats.
so no drugs… big engine=drugs?
You can only see it on the boats along with gasoline , duh.
I guess he forgot Obama striking a wedding and Biden hitting a sedan with 10 kids in it with a missile.
Good get them too. Crime is crime
We should take a few moments before his arrival in order to prepare a well earned and well deserved recognition of the leading star performer here.
A man of many faces who we have now known for years, who dutifully appears here each day to resolutely carry out his personal crusade in the face of unending adversity.
A man who shrugs off each day’s losses and beatings, and instead of becoming a quitter returns stronger the next to prove he cannot be beaten.
A man who each time he appears to deliver his performance, suffers the ingratitude of being swiftly beaten back down into the slime from which he appears each day.
A man who successfully fights off any personal emotions of guilt, embarrassment, or shame in order to carry out his daily crusade on his personal behalf in front of us.
Ladies and gentleman, when he arrives, give a big round of applause and celebration for our very own X/George/Anonymous when he arrives today with his signature: BBBBUUUTTTT…. MUH TURLEY!!!!!!
My name for X is George Costanza, the man that always does the opposite of what everyone else does.
My name for X is George Costanza, the man that always does the opposite of what everyone else does.
Well perhaps that’s the very reason that The Apparatchik Formerly Known As Svelatz previously chose to be known as George.
As mentioned above, X/George/Svelatz/Anonymous has always been the Apparatchik of a thousand faces.
Give him an additional round of applause for attempting to introduce some Prince-type appeal into his communist Slapstick Vaudeville Communist Political Theater.
It was just okie dokie that Obama killed civilians at a wedding but Trump kills drug dealers and it’s the end of civilization as we know it. Don’t worry about it they’ll turn on a dime and give you nine cents change.
The devout climate change warrior Ruy Teixeira now says that the climate change issue is thankfully circling the drain. https://thedemocraticstrategist.org/2025/10/teixeira-the-climate-movement-is-circling-the-drain-thats-great-for-democrats/. Just like the impeachment frenzy climate change was just a political talking point in the pursuit of power. Gee it took Ruy fifteen years to see the error of his ways after billions of dollars of tax payer money has been spent on another Democratic boondoggle. Don’t you see, yesterday’s morality doesn’t have to be today’s morality? That dime is so worn from the spinning that they can no longer tell heads from tails. Impeachment spinning in their heads like an LSD hallucinating and they’re not believing that they’re hooked on the feeling. Do you believe it?
Must have been a slow news day for our host (or he’s suffering a moment of writer’s block) to tell everybody what we already know…
You can point out the gross hypocrisy of Democrats that their kings and queens deliver dressed in a suit of lies as transparent as the Emperor’s New Clothes.
But they are predictably and perfectly consistent.
Show concern and outrage about presidents refusing to enforce immigration law and the victims of millions of criminal Illegal Aliens?
Or now howl in outrage that those criminal Illegal Aliens are now being arrested and removed from the country?
Show concerns and outrage for wide open borders and 100,000+ Americans killed by these drugs moved by narco-terrorists into America each year?
Or now howl in rage that instead of repeatedly firing missiles into family’s gathered at wedding party’s, Trump is firing another missile into narco-terrorist boats because the poison they were carrying was still retrievable?
Nothing To See Here, Please Believe Democrats, Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes™
