What if Canada did a special law enforcement operation to seize our President and have him stand trial for his crimes? I'm good with it.

Usually the frosty images are done under overcast skies. It a few instances the clouds part and you can enjoy a few hours of frost and blue.

Another morning walk pic, a floating stick.
A fisherman must have got his line caught and tried to pull it free. Even from closer it was tough to see the line.

They wanted to do it on Christmas, but were too busy bombing Nigeria. Didn't get the Content they wanted.

Fine, the Barbary pirates weren't really civilians, it was all in the name of commerce. And 🎵...on the shores of Tripoli" represents a military overthrow of a foreign ruler.

President Thomas Jefferson refused to pay tribute and dispatched the young U.S. Navy to battle the Barbary Pirates.

USA isn't an international tribunal:
no right to bomb another country or
arrest its leader to put him on trial.
It signals that Russia's invading Ukraine is okay, Israel tasking Palestine too & that China can invade Taiwan. Common link is that these countries have autocrats/dictators, US included.

After the first drone strike in Mexico, there are still going to be people saying they didn't see it coming.

The members who did the "don't follow illegal orders" video absolutely need to immediately do a "hey these were the illegal orders we were talking about and participating in them can expect to face consequences to the fullest extent of the law" video
Uniformed military are involved in this shambolic behavior and they all need to be held to account
A primary goal of the discussion now on dragging dem pols to do the right thing has to be on widespread accountability and where appropriate prosecutions of significant numbers of servicemembers

OK, crash course in oil. Oil has two main gradings, viscosity (light or heavy) and sulfur (sweet or sour). A light (low viscosity) and sweet (low sulfur) oil is easier to process into gasoline and other products than a heavy and sour one, so the light & sweet oil commands a premium price.
I know several oil barons, I’ve had the oil and gas industry as clients in a past life: none of them want the Venezuelan oil, it’s dog shit quality and getting the PDVSA fields up to modern standards would take 20 years! It’s just trump being stuck in 1987
At this point the oil barons hardly even care (they can pivot to renewables too). It’s just gender and internal combustion brain
