Alt: Cartoon opening to the INSPECTOR GADGET series. Inspector Gadget is crossing a rope strung between the rooftop of two buildings. But they way he crosses it: Brain the Dog has two footplates on posts that he balances Gadget on as Gadget takes each step, while Brain is doing the actual highwire balancing and crossing act.

Does anyone have that sharpie tool where we can name every one of the people smiling, nodding, or even standing silently as Trump unloads this racist attack?
Because I can see a future in which a lot of people will be saying, “I wasn’t there.”

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

That's actually one of the things I find creepiest about the rural west. It's *so* *white*. In Virginia and North Carolina I had Black and Latino neighbors. The west is super segregated in a way I find really off-putting.
Like most of the rural south my neighborhood was way more racially integrated than the rural north - I always had Black neighbors in the south. But you had to watch the whites real careful.

Exactly 80 years ago tomorrow (Nov. 30, 1945), German submarine commander Heinz-Wilhelm Eck and two of his former subordinates on the U-852 were shot by Allies in Hamburg for killing the survivors of a ship they had sunk. Pete Hagueseth should be very worried. www.executedtoday.com/2009/11/30/1...

Or the laws of armed conflict. Or the Geneva conventions. You cannot kill people who have been rendered hors de combat in a military action.
Decent answer, but this is why CNN needs experts on the law of the sea on, instead of the usual political commentators. They could easily explain why this violates maritime rules.
