Remember when he ordered the pardoning of J6 insurrectionists en masse because he simply got tired of looking at individual cases. This may have been the moment that created the #RogueAutopen.
The White House released today, a ‘national security strategy document’ celebrating the removal of ‘radical gender ideology’ and ‘woke lunacy’ from the US armed forces among other boasts and contradictions. It appears more indulgent of recent video evidence of murder, especially extrajudicial killing in the name of a cruel ‘war on drugs’.

Admiral Frank “Mitch” Bradley appeared for a series of closed-door classified briefings at the Capitol as lawmakers conduct an investigation after a report that he ordered the follow-on attack that killed the survivors to comply with Hegesth’s demands.
Legal experts have said such a strike could be a violation of the laws of military warfare.
