I know we talk about how much Trump and Hegseth are just going to do batshit crazy stuff, but it's interesting how Hegseth and Trump both backed down on Mark Kelly.

Hegseth was just fucking raging about him, as was Trump.

I'm sure somebody pointed out to Hegseth that the photo was in a mirror and that he looked like a fucking idiot for claiming everything was backwards and that he should drop the topic, but they really backed the fuck off now that people are hearing more about what we were doing.

Some of this may have arisen because Hegseth may have actually talked to a lawyer that represented him.

Although Trumpco strives to find government lawyers that will represent the desires of Trump, these don't always align with the personal interests of people like Hegseth that are "just following orders."

Once they get beyond doing Trump's bidding, they may find out they're in a personal liability jackpot.

If Hegseth wasn’t stealing oxygen away from the Epstein files, he probably would have been fired by now. Trump hates to be confronted by the media over his underlings actions.

Pos rep for reminding me of Cormac.

It would appear that the generalities about stateless ships are correct.

However, most nations that register ships, even flags of convenience, exempt small boats.  For example, the UK exempts vessels under 24m in length, the US "five net tons," which includes under 25 feet and a complicated displacement calculation.

As we are aware, small boats in the US are subject to state registrations.  Probably not so much in South America.  But their laws probably also provide that a small boat that "resides" in that country is a boat of that country, automatically.  So they're not "stateless ships."

If I am "Captaining" a boat that is 25 ft. long & ½ way between Lauderdale & the Bahamas (international waters start @ 12 nautical miles) PLUS my Boston Whaler doesn't have even a 12"×18" American flag (forgot / left it home... it was unsecured & bounced off, etc.) can the US Navy then rando decide to drop an unannounced missile on me "because drugs" even if I'm loaded with 12 coolers & you cannot determine if it is rum, Red Stripe, Florida Spinys, Dorado or Snapper in the Yeti's?
