Just a regular schlub… a bit of a dichotomy. I don’t make the rules, yet I do make a living telling machines what to do… but am anti-AI (especially art). 🤷♂️ Please: No DMs, No $ begging, No Illuminati, NO MAGA, No Crypto

I’m basically an optimist.
I want to believe in fundamental good.
I want to believe in resilience in the face of adversity.
I want to believe in the Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart-Technique.

you're telling me Bush set a precedent that's been abused by Trump? i'm shocked, SHOCKED i say
A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.
Is there any modern precedent for abducting a head of state?
Plenty of examples of coups, assassinations and domestic trials, including show trials, but this is like a Crusader Kings plot.

Let me understand this. A president rigs an election but faces no consequences because he won the election?

By all means follow New Year’s resolutions, but whatever you do CHOOSE first to embrace change and break free of any real or imagined obstacles.

From alert to inert in 12 months.
One of the first priorities of the next US Prez administration will need to be codifying us all away from that nonsense OLC opinion from Sep 1973 titled "Amenability of the President, Vice President, and Other Civil Officers to Federal Criminal Prosecution While in Office”.

Hey @npr.org don’t tell us what Republican senators say about Trump administration actions like ending Afghan immigration, tell us what they do. Empty words by people with the power to act, that’s not news.

What’s with all the “as a” texts, emails and product reviews? As a combat veteran… as a tireless campaigner for your rights… as a single mother…
It doesn’t matter if it’s a politician begging for money/charity seeking donations.
It’s pandering & derivative. 🤬

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
