Thanksgiving was successful. The chicken was perfectly cooked, keeping the temperature a little bit lower on the grill was good. We did forget to open the can of cranberry jelly, maybe next year.
This is our new tray to transport the chicken to the grill and back. We got it at Home Goods, it's nice, heavy melamine. It was funny, it wouldn't fit in the refrigerator sideways, we had to empty a shelf on the door and slide it in long ways. It's very festive.
Last night there was a pretty good sunset.
Today we did Christmas prep. It was short and sweet. The tiny Christmas tree is up, and we put wreaths on the security door. They are also festive.
This was on the front of the Washington Post today. This, right here, is a war crime. Our Secretary of Defense is a war criminal. So is his chain of command that carried out the order. There were two survivors in the water, and he ordered another strike to kill them.
I strongly suspect that this is why Admiral Holsey resigned. The law of the sea says anyone who has been sunk/shipwrecked is entitled to assistance. Once the boat was sunk, the Geneva convention says they have no capacity to fight. The killing of the two men holding onto flaming wreckage is a war crime, straight up murder.
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is currently being held at the ICC in The Hague on charges of crimes against humanity for doing the EXACT SAME THING that Trump/Hegseth are doing now: Summarily executing alleged drug traffickers without due process.
This must be why they're so upset about the Seditious Six reminding the military that they should not follow illegal orders.
Today 47 made it clear that he is ready and willing to give Putin Crimea and all the current Russian occupied land in Ukraine. Europe and Ukraine have not signed on for this.
Here is a tip for fractious family gatherings.
Other than this, I have nothing else to say.
High crimes indeed. Clearly Hegseth's judgement is far superior to that of the Geneva Convention. I hope he will eventually be held to account and jailed for a very long time.
ReplyDeleteThe fuckery continues. Thanks for keeping me up to date, seriously.
ReplyDeleteGlad your chicken turned out perfectly! The sunset is lovely.
ReplyDeleteAs for IQ45 and his current band of nasty people, I suspect that the ICC will be busy for many years to come.
I laughed at the air horn, though I suppose it's really not very funny. I would LOVE to see Hegseth et al brought up on charges at the ICC for these atrocities.
ReplyDeleteLove your two wreaths on the security door -- as well as the door itself.
I can only Hope that Donnie Two Dolls and all his Cabal are Internationally Charged with committing War Crimes becoz he is mirroring every Infamous Dictator on the Wrong Side of History blatantly now. A public Execution would be not harsh enuf IMO for Evil Humans like these.
