I've been saying the TSA should be abolished ever since it was created. Security theater is NOT useful. End it.

You are not wrong. ALL of them could and should have done exactly this, ordered the DEA to reclassify it. Biden could have kept his promise by doing exactly this. But instead he slow walked the process, and handed it off to an agency that should not even exist, the DEA should be abolished.

Doesn't mean he's not still a loathsome piece of fascist excrement, doesn't mean it should be schedule 3 instead of being unscheduled entirely, doesn't mean the drug schedules should even exist. But it's a small step in the right direction.

So when does Melanoma lose citizenship?

Failure to understand Russia is a huge mistake.

The only way this stops is if Russia is forced out. If ANY land is ceded, Russia will pause, build more weapons, and try again.

The only permanent fix is if an intact Ukraine joins NATO.

Maybe in a hundred years Russia will civilize. But not now.

Nobel literally set up the prize fund in his will because he felt guilty about creating better weapons.

He didn't just invent dynamite, which, while more frequently used in peaceful blasting than as a weapon, absolutely can be used as a military explosive. He also invented gelignite, one of the earliest plastic explosives, and ballistite, a smokeless gunpowder.

#17 & #18

Yep. EVERYONE who issued or followed illegal orders is guilty. The charges need to happen all the way up and down the chain of command. There are no excuses for issuing or failing to refuse illegal orders, particularly when the illegal order is literally in the manual as the prime example of an illegal order.

18.3.2.1 Clearly Illegal Orders to Commit Law of War Violations. The requirement to refuse to comply with orders to commit law of war violations applies to orders to perform conduct that is clearly illegal or orders that the subordinate knows, in fact, are illegal. For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal.

PROSECUTE HIM!!!!!!

Beto's serious screwup was going anti-gun in Texass. Absolutely stupid move on his part.

Going pro-genocide is a massive screwup for ANY Democrat though. That plus the idiotic "but the economy is doing great now" message cost Kamala the election. Biden's railroad strike breaking didn't help her either, nor did the Fed's out of control interest rate increases.

And that's absolutely fine. But this guy should NEVER have been in prison in the US.

This world police crap needs to stop, as does the attack on humanity that is the "war on drugs".

Lots of them have stopped believing this year. Unfortunately he still has 3 years to cause a lot of damage.

We REALLY need a way for the American people to replace a president - like petition-initiated recall elections. And the office has FAR too much power, three branches of government is NOT sufficient.

#5

Honestly, it's probably best to wait until 2029 for that. The tiny-fingered, ferret-wearing, cheeto-faced sh*tgibbon would probably just pardon him.

But what about the GHJKL jets? Are they still ok?

#10

It was absolutely NOT adjudicated in Obama's favor. Obama was never charged, never tried. Not that the current SCrOTUS would do anything about it since they ignored the constitution and decided presidents are immune.

No, war crimes aren't OK just because Obama did it. We have a LONG history of criminal presidents, and while the worst are obviously Rethuglicans, there's quite a few Democrats who are also criminal.

There's zero accountability for criminal acts by presidents, and that really needs to change. The office gets far too much respect and deference.

The christian thing to do would be kill the gays. It's in the book.

christianity is a religion of evil.

An actual good idea from the orange menace? Weird.

And they're ALREADY on US roads. They just have to be 25 years old to be imported, because our automotive laws are stupid.

We really did go way overboard on safety regulations. Make it optional, if you want to buy a car with airbags and seat belts, go for it. But given that motorcycles are allowed, I should be able to buy a car without that crap.

You keep using that word "inadvertently". I do not think it means what you think it means.

Interesting choice of label to show for the story. I'm not seeing anything particularly odd or scary on that label.

#11

Yes, we get it, you're a bigot. Congrats on making that very clear.

#5

I don't really care what Melanoma does. Her failure to divorce the scum means she approves of it.

#37

As well he should have. That sentence was egregious. Ulbricht may not be the best person ever, but he didn't deserve that. A pardon was completely appropriate.

#2

Weird how that's happening, since that's exactly what they did with Agent Krasnov.

There's really no question, he's a Russian asset.

#6

Egg prices went nuts because the response to bird flu was "kill all the chickens" instead of "vaccinate all the chickens". Other countries have been vaccinating chickens for years, and it works. The USDA is run by idiots, but it's ALWAYS been run by idiots.

Hey, an orange menace pardon I have no problem with at all.

If he pardons EVERYBODY in prison for drug 'crime' he'd have actually accomplished something good. The stupid 'war on some drugs' has been one of the darkest chapters in American history, and it needs to end. There are FAR too many people in American prisons because of this 'drugs are bad, mmmkay' garbage.

And this one is particularly egregious, the former president of another country should NEVER be in an American prison. If they committed war crimes or other crimes against humanity, ship them to The Hague. Otherwise, it's not our monkey, not our circus.

Xitter, not 'x'. The "X" in Xitter is pronounced "Sh".

#39

If they get US pardons, the next administration needs to ship them to The Hague for trial.

Or hand them over to Venezuela, that would work too.

And it doesn't just need to be the commander. Extradite everybody involved in that chain of command, including the grunt who pulled the trigger. It needs to be made VERY clear to US troops that obeying illegal orders is a crime.
