Investigate and oversee military action! The administration is out of control, is lying to the American people, and it’s unclear if Trump is even aware of what is going on! On one side, the Trump administration is sinking small boats that it claims, without providing evidence, are smuggling drugs — and according to the Washington Post, Pete Hegseth, the self-styled “Secretary of War”, has personally ordered at least one follow-up strike to kill the survivors. A working group of former JAGs, members of the military’s legal branch, issued a statement declaring that it unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both. On the other side, Donald Trump has declared his intention to grant “a Full and Complete Pardon” to Juan Orlando Hernández, a former president of Honduras who has been convicted of conspiring to import 400 TONS of COCAINE into the United States. In fact, Hernández was part of a cartel, including his brother, that smuggled 400 tons of cocaine into this country. When asked, Trump said that he doesn’t believe that Hernández should be held responsible for others’ deeds. This is a slap in the face of our judicial system. The various explanations for these actions tell very contradictory statements and reflect poorly, more than likely criminally, on these participants’ actions. Only investigation and oversight will surface the facts. Blowing up boats under the presumption of drug trafficking while pardoning a convicted drug trafficker is an insane contradiction of truth and calls into question the President’s ability to lead the country and Hegseth’s ability to do his job entirely. Does Trump know what’s going on or are his cabinet members running the show while his cognitive decline happens before our eyes? I strongly urge you to stand up against these actions and investigate what is happening and hold those responsible for murder and/or war crimes accountable.
