That’s an oldie but a goodie.
From the $DJT 8-K.
BROKERING THE DEAL is when my brain melted, if you want to know.
Can anyone explain how this is not a quid-pro-quo bribe?
Especially since US law demanded the transfer of TikTok’s US operations as the one way to avoid a ban.
Big donors to the president got the company as the govt forced the sale, and he gets $10 billion.
If not a bribe, why so bribe-shaped?
(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.

Europe must continue to stand with Ukraine - and be willing to speak out against Trump.

we should make American voters get a tattoo on their arm that says DON'T TRUST THE REPUBLICAN PARTY because otherwise they're basically all that guy from Memento every second election cycle.
I’m sure that will make him very open to negotiation.
He is just making things up, and the whole world knows the truth. The United States has never looked weaker because of these lies and his complete lack of a plan or strategy. Wars cannot be won with gaslighting and Truth Social posts.
Very America First.
Is it "woke" to teach/learn about anticipating adversaries potential retaliations when you are planning to attack? 🤔

This is incredible.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
“Impeach and convict a president for an unlawful war, and you’ll see fewer unlawful wars,” our columnist David French tells Emily Bazelon, a staff writer for The Times Magazine, in their conversation this week.
Also, these losses don’t happen in a vacuum. Aren’t they a symptom of a broader issue?
Excellent way to run the world’s most powerful hegemony. No notes. All those ubermasculine MAGA men being tough.
I'm not a commodities guy but I don't know how many more events like this the markets will be willing to overlook because Trump occasionally shouts, "nearly done!" at a reporter from his golf cart.
You absolute freak. We all know you are lying. Just say “this is awful, I feel for all those families but…”
What an embarrassment. You want to go to war so bad but then oops, you don’t want the bad part of war. Who knew there were bad parts?!
There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.
His one weird trick: Bribing corrupt public officials:

If dude had come in and done literally nothing and played some golf….
Here in a nutshell is all the failures of the "serious" media (here The Economist) regarding Trump. They have commissioned a serious grown-up commentator to write this. And look at the result. Look in particular at that "strangely lacking interest"... /1
This strikes me a little like this:
Trump: "I'm gonna fuck shit up"
...
Trump haters: "He's gonna fuck shit up"
...
Trump fans: "HE is gonna FUCK SHIT UP!!!"
...
Trump fucks shit up
U.S. media and experts:
Just listened to this incredible story today. Strong recommend.
Is Kennedy trying to help him here? What was the point of this other than to lay out Biers argument?
I’m not the first to make this observation but it is a bit curious how they did the whole thing about calling it the Department of War but are going out of their way to call this everything except a war.
Go for it!
JD Vance (2024): " All of the really terrible world conflicts, they almost always come from incompetent leadership...You can't just think about the immediate consequence. You've gotta ask yourself, 'what is the second order and the third order consequence?'"
The next administration needs to recognize the dangerous threat white male 61 year old graduates of Yale represent in the Washington DC area and they should all be stopped, for a brief and totally understandable period to determine legality.
