If I recall. In WW2, a Japanese admiral was acquitted for that as Nimitz order one was "kill japs, kill japs. Kill more japs. His defense was that if you convict me, you have to court martial Nimitz for the same orders.

Trump likes things named after him. The Navy has a glorious tradition of naming ships after former presidents: the JFK, the USS Roosevelt, the USS Ford.

I'm sure there's a garbage scow under construction somewhere.

Read the article. The Trump administration is arguing that executive orders take precedent over laws passed by Congress and signed by previous presidents.

I can see massive lawsuits by prisoners harmed under these orders. (No consolation for being raped under Trump, but may stop the practice).

Two survivors trying to flip a capsized boat.
Not a canoe.
Not a two person skiff.
A power boat.
A power boat with a keel weighing tons. And supposedly filled with drugs.
And they were trying to right it?

Cotton is full of it.

2/ and to claim one year after end of Biden administration that dementia makes it invalid alsowouldntwork. You can't invoke the 25th amendment post presidency.

I don't think they can square that circle. Even with Trump claiming autopen instead of actual signature isn't valid, which I think would get two votes.

President pardo power is absolute. How it's recorded is procedural but doesn't invalidate. Trump said he could pardon just by thinking it.

83-91. F14 squadrons on Constellation 85 and 87 cruises, and work ups on Independence and Nimitz. Avionics tech

Pardon power is absolute. If Trump could cancel previous pardons, it upends the power of presidents. Then there is no such thing as a pardon if they can be nulled by future presidents.

When I was there (late 80s) they temporarily cleaned it up. With all the arrests, I was able to get an apartment right off the beach for a great deal on a PO2/1 salary.

I surfed (shot) that pier many years ago, back when I was young and stupid. I'm much older now.

My big worry would be ICE going through voting lines and pulling brown people out until their citizenship can be determined (after polls close). Yeah they can get sued, but damage will be done.

People on autopilot. So soon after installation, people aren't noticing them as they've passed that intersection perhaps thousands of times. Perhaps a "stop bar" and lettering on the pavement as well.

Enforcement in the short term is likely the best solution to wake drivers up.

Each generation of immigrants hated the ethnicity of the following group of immigrants. British hated the Irish. Then Germans came, followed by Italians and eaten Europeans. The Asian exclusion act followed by changes to Mexican migrant workers entering the country. Immigration policy still racist.

I was on CV64 in the Persian Gulf in 1987 when this came out. Laminated it and kept it in our shop.

Historically we had city states. Then nation states. Now we are moving towards region states (think European Union). But being done peacefully is one thing. Being done violently does not create a stable region state. It creates an unstable empire.

And now we have Pete Hegseth allegedly told the military to kill survivors after the first boat was blown up.
Note that the military area commander resigned shortly after this happened. And survivors were not killed in subsequent attacks on boats. Coincidence?
