Someone will probably complain that they tried to recruit people in the office to go to their church and were told to quit it because it was making people uncomfortable. I've seen it. I've told people to quit it.

American cost of living, personal debt, government debt, and unrealistic stock market is unsustainable. Pretty soon there'll be a reckoning. It won't be pretty.

Have Hegseth testify. Then subpoena the judge
Officer and any one else that might have heard the convo.
And there you go. Perjury served on a platter.

There is a near universal opinion that using ChatGPT is bad form and should be foregoed in favor of the personal touch that a human writer can bring.
I believe I just found the counterargument.

I wouldn't try to dissuade your opinion on that. I can only tell you that many people worked very hard to bring a workable infrastructure and government to Afghanistan, and after all those lives lost and money spent, it was all for naught.

I never said Afghanistan should face American justice. I said Bin Laden which was being protected by the Taliban. Should the Taliban face justice? They should, but by their own people. Unfortunately, the assassination of Ahmad Shah Massoud by Al Queda in 2001 made that much harder.

Israel did sign the accord but never ratified the treaty. So the ICC doesn't have jurisdiction there either.

are not a nation recognized by the international community until a couple of months ago. Hence, there is no authority that can sign international treaties or a conduit to recognize or manage it. The Oslo Accords were a step in that direction, but it failed like so many attempts before and after.

Ok. First off, they attacked a concert where most people were civilians. If some of them were IDF, it was only by happenstance since that was not Hamas' intention. 2nd, where did you get the idea that I said the ICC doesn't cover Palestine? I never thought of it, but it probably doesn't since they..

Why would it be Ok? Hamas didn't attack IDF, they attacked, killed, and kidnapped civilians. Your argument makes no sense.

Ok. I don't understand why Afghanistan not being a signatory matters. The ICC is simply a treaty between nations. Any nation can sign on to it or opt out of it after signing on. It's not compulsory.

Which law? If you say ICC, it's a non-sequitur since the US is, again, not a signatory nation.

Why is the US not a signatory? Short answer is that we believe that our UCMJ and criminal trial system is the best place for trial US military members and civilians. Long answer is more complicated. BSky is not the ideal platform for such a long answer.
