If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

You have to ask, why was Witkoff chosen for this critically important role of special envoy to Putin? He had no diplomatic or foreign policy experience. No education on those subjects. So of all people, why him? I think what we all surmised is clear - Putin wanted Witkoff.

When Harry Truman left office in 1953, he was nearly destitute. Worried about his financial predicament, his friends arranged for some public companies to offer him a board seat. The Trumans declined, explaining that “the office of the presidency belongs to the people, so it wasn’t his to sell.”

If we can blow up purported “Drug Boats” we can certainly interdict instead, capture the drugs and people without the unlawful loss of life. Instead, Trump chooses the illegal route of summarily killing people.

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

From a friend: Too often, we speak about political violence as the ineluctable consequence of hateful speech. This is a road we must not go down. The First Amendment, unique in its breadth and near-absolutism, affords every American the right to offend others but not the right to harm others.
