Super power: sense of smell, which is kind of a bummer when the guys in the office wear too much cologne.

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."

I guess one way to distract people from your friendship with a sex criminal is to claim that you are friends with a political murderer.

This and the airline industry lobbyists are what did it. Not Americans starving and paying twice as much for healthcare.

Does this look like a war zone to you?

President Zelenskyy:

Putin is afraid of his society because he wants to be president until he dies. And that's why, of course, he needs society to support him.
That's why he counts on continuation of this war. And that is the big question, the big challenge for all of us.

Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿‍♂️

They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside.

No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡

And people stop caring before truth hits
ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
