NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.

oh my goodness -- watch Mike Johnson, Scalise, Emmer, and McClain clap like seals for Trump for nearly two minutes straight. None of them want to be the first to stop!

Invest in the people instead of the military industrial complex. Education, healthcare, funding the arts- the things that make life worth living. This is matriarchy. Center the children and we all benefit.

It is all psyops and extremely dangerous. That we have not figured out how to disband these hate filled cable shows is disheartening. They are destroying liberal democracy.

Exactly, so they lie constantly and it's called rhetoric but if they lie under oath it's illegal and now if they lie about killing people it's appalling. Silly me I taught my children not to lie at all.

This is to say: if you're an attorney who's hesitated to take on habeas cases because you think you lack the knowledge, or you're worried about whether you'll really help, I PROMISE you can make a difference. I'm just a dipshit with a 7-year-old laptop and a bad attitude. If I can do it, so can you.

When I worked at the VA, we never had enough vehicles. We had to beg at every meeting. I see how it works now.

They are all going to jail once he is gone though. It has to be impeachment or assasination.

Isn’t it? Why are we committing war crimes and why isn’t the media talking about it.

“An organization like FAFO could allow prosecutors to trade research on novel legal theories designed to head off immunity arguments, share recommendations for expert witnesses, and even help strategize on how to sue the federal government to access evidence or get a case back into state court. It could facilitate collaboration between prosecutors in neighboring counties both subjected to CBP and ICE deployments, or between a local DA and their state AG. “A lot of what we’re looking at has not been tried yet in the court system,” Conover said. “Rather than each one of us facing something, God forbid, like Minneapolis and finding ourselves having to invent the wheel, we can do it together.””

Frankly, I wish I had the guts of that Irishman. I WANT to ask people who they voted for and treat them accordingly, but it is a rude question. (Or I was taught that)

This repeats yet another pattern from the Iraq War. When the Iraqis did not behave as the Americans wanted — without the deference and gratitude that a foreign military occupier felt it was due — they became targets.
