The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to three sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.

Ultimately, Bradley told lawmakers, he ordered a second strike to destroy the remains of the vessel, killing the two survivors, on the grounds that it appeared that part of the vessel remained afloat because it still held cocaine, according to one of the sources. The survivors could hypothetically have floated to safety, been rescued, and carried on with trafficking the drugs, the logic went.

The other source with direct knowledge of the briefing called that rationale “f**king insane.”

Plenty of time to locate and ready the bazookas.

I’m actually surprised I haven’t yet seen a defence of “they were destined to drown or be eaten by sharks, it was actually a humane decision”

They probably had a reserve supply of Dogs and Cats to eat in-between preparing their bazooka strike!

Is it possible they fitted their fishing rods with F35 destroying heat seeking lures?

Pretty scary for the pilots - particularly if the fisherman were really strong casters. Even more scary if the lures were the glow in the dark ones.

hypothetically of course

it's actually hard to grasp that this is happening and there hasn't been a shattering backlash.

"Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.

Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us"

"I will not stop being horrified that we have an administration that is murdering people and calling people garbage and taking away rights and housing and food and safety.

I will not stop being horrified by the hate and racism and misogyny and the terrorizing of immigrants and trans people and anyone else they see as different.

I will not stop being horrified because I refuse to become numb to it."

The clearest symptom yet of Trump’s mental decline

His brain is turning into sh*t

jeffries and schumer are part of the problem. until they and their ilk go, the dems will be seen as co-conspirators with the corruption.

Adam Bonica (@adambonica.bsky.social)

A corrupt president pardons a corrupt member of Congress for corrupt reasons. With multiple guilty pleas establishing a bribery-laundering scheme, Hakeem Jeffries still called the case “thin” and sought cover in a bribery-plagued Supreme Court. A lesson in squandering potential inroads with voters.

Took them 41 minutes to construct a bazooka style weapon with kelp.
