It's certainly true that he believes people who criticize him deserve to die (which is horrifying!). But it's also true that as a narcissist, he believes that everything that happens is somehow about him; the idea that the Reiners' death has nothing to do with him is inconceivable (yes, I know).

Anybody have reliable insight on to what extent the opposition was based on principle, and to what extent it was based on fear of a blue wave, which can turn excessive gerrymanders into a disaster?

Good news! Groceries and utility bills will not be at the top of the list much longer!
Bad news: that’s because health care is going to shoot past them . .

It is astonishing to me that these idiots don't realize that the font changed only because Microsoft changed the default font in its applications; diversity had nothing to do with it. And not using the default font means a great deal of extra, wasted effort. A clown show all around.

That's strange. I was just told that he “created an ‘aura’ around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before.”
Maybe he meant fear, not respect.

Pro tip: if you can’t remember that the expression is “slowing down,” not “slowing up,” it’s already too late: you’ve got dementia.

In normal times, you'd expect the U.S. military to be providing cover for this flight. Nowadays, you wonder if the flight information was provided to Russia.

It struck me in reading the decision that the question of what constitutes a flight risk is left unclear. OTOH, what does seem clear is that immigrants who are dutifully showing up for scheduled hearings in court should clearly not be considered flight risks, and so should not be subject to arrest

Maybe the first strike would have been a judgment call for the soldiers carrying it out. But the point of the shipwreck example in the DOD manual is that some orders are clearly illegal: it’s not a judgment call anymore at that point.

So is Hagueseth just too stupid to get the acronym right (Foreign Terrorist Organization, not "Designated"), or is he intentionally omitting the "Foreign" limitation in order to facilitate targeting so-called "domestic" terrorist organizations? Or both?

Leaving all other issues aside, I'm not really sure that hermetically sealing the border (which would have to include tourists coming in and citizens going out) so that we can all go unvaccinated without fear of catching easily preventable diseases is an optimal approach . . .

Nope, not Goldsmith. Just found his article again. But it does cite the 1863 Lieber Code, from the Civil War era, making the wounding or killing of a disabled enemy combatant a crime punishable by death. And the section of the DOD manual barring attacks on persons incapacitated by shipwreck.

Seems to me I saw someone on here (J. Goldsmith?) citing the specific US statute incorporating the specific relevant clause of the Geneva Convention and making it a part of US law.

If he blows a commercial airliner out of the sky, he’s joining Vladimir Putin in the international Hall of Shame.
It’s also an act that would horrify a lot of Americans who don’t care (wrongly) about fishermen/smugglers being blown out of the water.
