You could probably dry out it in the oven and then give it a Viking funeral?

Among the great features of New England is that the snakes know their place. And that place is outside somewhere under a rock. And none of them are venomous.

Again, the illegality of firing on shipwrecked mariners is so absurdly well established that it is used in the manual training material as the example of an order *so obviously illegal* that no further information would be required for a servicemember to be obligated to refuse it.

We could have done with a nice rest to catch up on all the awful, document it, and come to terms with it as a country. But somehow he kept doing awful and nobody has been able to catch up. That account that tweeted things from four years ago really helped me in grasping how intense the firehouse was

Thing is, Cotton served, so I think he knows this and just doesn't care.

I will say, the fact that these guys aren't combatants already and their boat is just a boat. With no weapons. It becomes tricky to figure out when they're hors de combat when they were never, uh, de combat in the first place.

I kind of don't want us to see it though... Some will glory in the depravity, most won't understand that what they're seeing is a war crime instead of a normal terrible thing. Even if you take the administration's framing it's clearly wrong, watching a confusing video won't make the confused less so

Days or hours until he walks it back. Or until it turns out they have the wrong person again.

Pls also note that FBI HQ is reportedly demanding that an investigation of the most aggressive and invasive type be opened into members of congress (including senators), less than a month after GOP senators threw a hissy fit over the FBI looking at their phone metadata during the Jan 6 investigation

I think she 'just' got a statement from the press weasel and tweeted it out as though it means something. Hasn't got the report, won't read it when she does.

I got one for my four year old, and neither she nor my wife appreciate it, but I REALLY appreciate it
