"I'm willing to take a not guilty. I'm willing to take a no true bill."
What she means is she's willing to bring legally deficient cases that harass innocent defendants, waste her line prosecutors' time, and makes her office look like jerkoffs in front of judges and juries.
Apart from the sovereignty issue, that's about 22% of annual US production of Tomahawks flying past there.
This isn't a sustainable campaign.
Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.
I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.
And later on one of the security guards murders his extranged wife and her friend.
Not *in the movie,* but still.
The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story.

"even the declaration of no quarter"
It isn't a crime -- or at least, there is no punishment for the crime -- if no one will hold you responsible for it.
Hegeth believes no one will. I hooe he is wrong.
Hegseth: Why do the headlines say inflammatory things like “war intensifies”?
Pentagon official press release 3 days ago: Hegseth says war intensifies

"These people were not hired to be serious. They were not hired to be professional. They were hired to support Donald Trump, never to say 'No' to him and to conduct the affairs of state...as if this is just a big internet fight where the guy with the funniest meme wins." - @radiofreetom.bsky.social
It almost beggars belief how much more competent the Biden administration was at governing—and legislating, even when Congress was controlled by the other party—than the Trump administration is.

US has burned through ‘years’ of munitions since start of Iran war ft.trib.al/Gil05rp
In the last two days, Iran struck:
- Oil tankers in Iraq, killing an Indian crew member
- A French base in Iraq, killing French soldiers

- A Thai cargo ship
- Various Israeli targets
