"I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."- Megyn Kelly (back in the 1990s Ann Coulter (the OG blonde rightwing harridan) used to say more and more inflammatory things in order to remain revenant and continually booked on the talk show circuit. Megyn Kelly says them because she believes them)
The (somewhat surprising) furor over the War Crimes committed by Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump in the unlawful killing of people off the coast of Venezuela ignores the basic fact of the Republican Project of the last 50 years.
THE LAW is whatever Republicans in government say it is.
For years, I've chaffed when Lawyers and Judges spoke about THE LAW as though it were some Platonic Ideal existing just out of the grasp of man, perfect in the firmament, awaiting just the right invocation or properly transcribed statute to unlock the Philosopher's Stone of Jurisprudence and lift man from the doldrums and imperfect world. The Law is a man-made construct and thus is subject to man-made whims. There is no Rule of Law and never has been it's always been Rule of Man.
And as every grotesque Republican will tell you Trump is the Man!
The Criminal Trump Cabal have no problem in admitting they've unlawfully killed people while also playing the Fake News card to muddy the waters and ensure their drones can deny the facts, the truth, and reality itself. It doesn't even have to be plausible deniability at this point. Do you understand yet?
- The whole last 50 years has been about Republicans infiltrating and subverting all levels of Government in order to one day takeover the entire Nation and undo the 20th century and their defeat in the Civil War.
- It began with Revisionist History and the Lost Cause mythos
- The successful century of conservative terrorism to limit and destroy communities, especially minority communities after the Civil War
- Then when the Federal Government fought back against the Republican terrorist Jim Crow century the Nixon Southern Strategy embraced the South as a white power voting block to ensure Republicans would always be a threat to win the Presidency
- The invention of rightwing State's Rights arguments (limited only when Republicans are out of power and sidelined when Republican control the levers of control)
- The rise of rightwing alternative media, especially potent with Ronnie Raygun's ending of the Fairness Doctrine and the Racist Rush Limbaugh in the 1980's and then Faux News in the 1990's
- The creation of Religious Liberty to undermine other peoples rights
- The Shall Not Be Infringed Gun Nuts implicit threat to use violence against liberal and Democratic government and explicit mass shootings to undermine American society
- The Originalist Constitutional arguments to defeat progressive legislation and undermine advances for the majority of American citizens

Anything Republicans have said or done ever since Nixon was forced to resign was based on the precept the Republicans would never again put Country before Party and would work every bureaucratic lever the invocation of byzantine legerdemain, the outright lying about laws and the invocation of sorts of disingenuous trollish arguments to justify their actions. Do you understand yet?
The point, ever since the 1971 Lewis Powell Jr Memo, outlined the broad strokes of the Republican plan to create a regime of unaccountability and do away with Due Process. And under Traitor Trump, Republicans have realized that long-sought goal. That Trump is the antithesis of everything Republicans claimed (falsely) to stand for is just the chef's kiss of totalitarianism. Due Process is now gone, a historical artifact which no longer applies in the United States.

There is no Rule of Law. There is no Due Process. There is no Accountability.
My god, did you hear any of Kingsley Wilson press conference? And did you know that Laura Loomer and Matt Child Rapist Gaetz are the premier members of the press now? Why because Republicans absolutely don't give a fuck about you and don't give a fuck about lying and don't give a fuck about committing war crimes. Because they believe they are going to get away with it.
But, what's quite clear is every rightwing podcast propagandist, every elected Republican, every trollish social media turd is going to fight to make sure the Trump Regime suffers no consequences for their actions. So expect the War Crimes to continue abroad and the Constitutional Crimes to continue at home.
I've said before either White Peoples fascist fever breaks or the Nation does... Do you understand yet?
