Funny, it seems little more than a year ago that a US drone strike murdered seven innocent children and one adult in an embarassing case of mistaken identity.

Oh look, it was.

Article is paywalled but I’m going to make a funky guess and say that:

all people killed were brown
all vicrims were absolutely innocent
there were absolutely no consequences for anyone involved in the attack.

Well at least they won’t drone-bomb citizens, and I’m sure our top legal minds have firmly rejected the possibility!

What’s that? Both Obama and Trump killed citizens abroad sans trial (in absentia or otherwise), and Eric Holder refusing to rule out the idea is as much public debate as the notion got? Well at least we aren’t just recycling the same political whores who’ve been active in the government since the Nixon era, and the problem should fix itself.

I'll be happy if they finished the HL2 episodes.
