It’s like people are so fed up with Trump it’s - all you have to do is say his name or ICE and you’ll handily win and there like , let me bring up another angle no one is talking about
I think these gi Joe cosplayers forget is we helped write most of these war crime laws
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
Transparency and accountability are the only tools we have against the powerful that abuse their power and they block this by claiming the victim and obtain goverment protections that no one else would be able to obtain
GUY WHO DOESN’T REALIZE HE’S THE LEAST IMPORTANT FRIEND IN THE GROUP CHAT: It’s been a really rough few months since Maria left, and I couldn’t have done it without you. I love you guys.
OTHER GUY: (accidentally texting the wrong friend group) Donkey Kong would be hotter in a little pair of shorts
For the distortion to work (ie, billionaire opinions are actually popular) the money trail needs to be hidden.
this is prime example why it was about anonymity just as much as money. You could argue for removal of money caps but still argue for transparency , but these greedy fuckers aren’t because that’s the point!
1,500 per negative post jfc! Influencers with 10,000 followers can’t make a dime off YT and these right wingers are giving out 1,500 a post?
scalia was right there’s no way money corrupts speech
Their thought cohesion is reaching peak “Late Manson”.
“My third eye is open to the leftist diplomacy of the muhadeen on horseback riding through the poisoned aqueducts of the American mind, Jack!”
I’m an obnoxious troll. Why won’t anyone come visit my troll village and debate me!
Omg can we talk about “praise for her hands on booking” lmao
If hands on means losing guests than Bari is butterfingers 😂
Oh my god
That “Editorial Board” fellow is not a serious person.
a while back a guy I knew was trying to justify having gone to Curtis Yarvin's wedding, and his girlfriend said "Don't you find him thrillingly contrarian' and I said 'That's how boring people excuse being racist'
boring is a great word for the contrian thrill. Also you could swap in obnoxious or racist for contrarian. also fine giggle about being racist if you're that gross, free speech, but keep it the fuck away from policy
this reminds me there's at least 1 reference in a Taylor song to her most well known for being racist X and it has the same vibes - you're so bad, i know you're not really that bad to me, so we can all be along with the lolz
who radicalized jim cramer
lol
Every interview with this guy comes off like he's *hoping* to be beaten to death by an angry mob.
Omg this guys reasoning defies all logic and is clearly politically motivated (warfighter sounds like a rejected gi joe character), but what is 100% certain is Palantir Beaker is going to do whatever is in his power to make this future happen.
This was the plot of Rubicon (RIP!) but in gulf of mexico - think tank about port entries going to crap and crashing everything: www.vulture.com/2010/10/rubi...
guys who are really into international relations get super excited with a famous strait is in the news. this is like the superbowl for them
Also we are going to need American men to stop embarrassing us on a global stage.
Uncle.
“Non-diverse participants” is the euphemism of the year
we remain firmly on track for 'republican president leaves the country an omnishambles, next democratic president is punished for not cleaning it up fast enough'
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.
(🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)
WTF is with these trad people? Also there's definitely 1000x's more quiet suburban folks turned anti-ice activists. Where is there big article and discussion of "frissons"?
Heck - how about the i was pissed/am still pissed crowd? I'm frisson all over.
I wanted a big family, big house, and also to make bread (pandemic addition?) - BUT ALSO I wanted to measure my neighbors skull to see if they were a little bit Asian.
