SUPPORT WTFA ON PATREON

Toad: Can you tell me about these people on boats in the Caribbean you've been murdering? Orange Meanie: They were trafficking narcotics and associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks. Toad: Can you please explain when trafficking narcotics became a capital offense? Orange Meanie: Hey, did you sign our loyalty pledge? Can someone take this guy away? Orange Meanie: Whew, that's better.

NEW COMIC TWO OR THREE TIMES A WEEK, OR WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

Yesterday, on the orders of His Trumpiness, members of the United States military pulled the trigger on an unarmed boat in international waters, killing all aboard. I want to put it this way, and not say something like "a boat was struck" or whatever, because I want to underline that Trump and his suck-ups wanted this, ordered this, and it went down the chain of command, and at each step there was a US citizen and member of one armed force or another, paid for by American tax dollars, who did not refuse the order, until it reached someone whose specialty is pulling the trigger on a very complex piece of machinery the only purpose of which is killing other human beings, and they did so, and when Trump fatuously declares "No U.S. Forces were harmed", that's a lie, especially if America wakes up from this fascist nightmare and starts holding people accountable for their crimes, including this one, which is murder, up to a count of at least 27. I mean, nothing in U.S. history leads me to believe anyone will be held responsible -- look up what happened to the trigger-happy dipsticks at Kent State who straight up murdered college kids -- but it's possible -- I'm hoping -- that this might finally have gotten too big, and too uncomfortably close to Nazi Germany, to let it all slide.

Can some journalist type person find one of the people actually pulling the trigger on this and get them on the record? Because I really want to know why no one is saying no.
