My take on the Western economy in a nutshell.
Much of manufacturing is outsourced in such fashion that jeans are imported for a aten and sold for a hundred. This takes most of the value in the chain for white collar jobs in sales and marketing, and profits for the owner. ...

BRENNAN: Do you have confidence in Admiral Bradley?
HIMES: What it raises is what happens when an apparently good man like Admiral Bradley is placed in a context where he knows that if he countermands an order he's uncomfortable with it's very likely he'll be fired

Did you ask him if his job was under threat if he failed to follow an illegal order? Did you ask him if he knows killing the shipwrecked is an illegal order? Did you ask him if he was promised clemency if he took the fall? What did he say? TELL US. Stop dancing around these questions.

Okay but WHY are the Kennedy Center Honors not being given out at the Kennedy Center? Did they cancel and move it to the Oval because ticket sales were non-existent?

Trump divided the country, extorted Zelenskyy, tried to steal an election, incited an insurrection, stole confidential documents and banged a porn star. That’s his legacy. He knows he’s incapable of achieving anything good. He’s hoping his ballroom will remind people of him.

Persujen fasistinen "kuria ja rotia"-politiikka käytännössä: myös lapset voitaisiin sulkea varmuusvankeuteen määräämättömäksi ajaksi!
Kyseessä ei ole vakavan väkivallan ehkäisy, vaan pikemmin katteen saaminen sloganille, että ”vaaralliset rikoksentekijät eivät vapaudu”.

Asiantuntijoilta tyrmäys lakihankkeelle, joka voisi sulkea alaikäiset rikoksentekijät vankilaan määräämättömäksi ajaksi
Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitos (THL) sanoo, että ehdotuksen taustalla oleva ”yhteiskunnallinen arvovalinta” on huolestuttava.

It would seem that those US lawmakers reminding their military that they have a duty to refuse illegal orders wasn't seditious at all, but rather timely and apposite.
Mayhap they were onto something?

Can you ignore the ICE police?
If an officer stops you, you may ask if you are free to leave. If they say yes, walk away calmy. If they say no, stay where you are and do not attempt to leave. You do not have to speak to ICE, answer any questions, or show any documents.

CORRECTION: Earlier in a reply (deleted), I said that we *can* commit war crimes while not at war. That is incorrect. My thought was surely it’s *both* a war crime *and* murder. I thought about the war crimes we committed during Vietnam (not a war), but that IS an armed conflict and that counts. 1/
