At the time of the Declaration's adoption by the General Assembly in 1948, Eleanor Roosevelt said, "In giving our approval to the declaration today, it is of primary importance that we keep clearly in mind the basic character of the document. It is not a treaty; it is not an international agreement. It is not and does not purport to be a statement of law or of legal obligation. It is a declaration of basic principles of human rights and freedoms, to be stamped with the approval of the General Assembly by formal vote of its members, and to serve as a common standard of achievement for all peoples of all nations."

Why the hell isn't it a treaty, a binding agreement, or law?

1948-2026.

Any administration could have made it to permanent.

Why sign off on a worthless, unenforceable document? Symbolic gestures don't prevent atrocities.

Make it a treaty and let's see how many nations sign off on it.

Most likely, it'll be just like the ICC.

Easy to play defense when the US has 80,000 to 100,000 troops in Europe.

WWII ended in 45.

Time to leave Europe.

Congress though we were in Afghanistan long enough.

"NO WONDER the Trump regime has denounced the ICC: Because they are al likely to be charged with crimes against humanity!

If the US recognized the ICC, every US President since the ICC creation would be subject to crimes against humanity.

There is no statute of limitations.

Are both parties prepared to send Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden all to the court? Don't forget all the generals and members of Congress.

"In the grand jury report, which remains sealed but was obtained and published by CBS News Miami"

Sealed but yet obtained.

Guess we need another grand jury on the leaking of a sealed grand jury report.

All these administrations discovered there was a misappropriation of minors.

Other than Epstein and Maxwell, no other criminals have been found.

But, damn, you'd think with all the evidence, somebody else was involved.

Two people couldn't have committed all the crimes themselves!

It's like the pimp and hooker were found guilty but nothing else to see here.

US food goods are bad for your health?

Possibly. Banned from entering Europe.

Such as... those with allergies in the US find they can eat and drink those dame products in Europe without a reaction.

This has been goimg on a very long time.

The government stamp of approval isn't helping.

The ICC doesn't go after the UN for all the crimes they commit themselves.

Individuals here and there, but not the nation's and government.

You never prosecute the one paying your salary.

"Why wasn't Saudi Arabia held accountable by BOTH parties considering BOTH held the House, Senate, and WH.

The Republican Party controlled both chambers of the United States Congress and the Executive Branch in 2003.

Clownshack"

AFTER BUSH. AFTER 2003.

Are you that stupid? Both parties have held the WH and Congress since Bush. Both parties have ignored Saudi Arabia and Epstein.

SA got a pass and why only Epstein and Maxwell?

Trump Trump Trump.

There's been other Presidents and Congresses that have allowed it.

But Mr Morell concedes there are parts of the US account the world may never be told. "A hundred per cent of the story that's out there is true - but not a hundred per cent of the story is out there," he admits. June 2015

I would have been fine with NW or SW States. But, you have to earn your chops to get those seats.

It would have been a great opportunity.

You are right it not a job for anyone. The hardest part I found was the screen analysis: Air speed, direction, altitude, weather symbols, and part 2: having to speak very, very clearly.

Thank God I had an insider who Gabe me access to practice samples. I thought the abstract part was hard until I hit the screens.

I always thought it was funny they played video games on breaks as relief for their eyes and mind.

"It's interesting how 9/11 was blamed on Saudis, but we blew up Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria ... and now Iran.
Coming up soon, Turkey."

Why wasn't Saudi Arabia held accountable by BOTH parties considering BOTH held the House, Senate, and WH.

"Trump is doing 9/11 stuff now, to distract from the Epstein Files."

After Epstein and Maxwell, the prosecution couldn't go after anyone once those two were charged.

Any person that knows law: you only get two apples from the tree. After that, nobody else can be charged. Seems the Executive branch, under BOTH parties belief it.

Plenty of controllers to take over the air coverage.

No one could call out sick if the staff couldn't handle the air traffic.

There's more to the story and it ain't the controllers that went home.

The air traffic control test is obviously really hard. I was offered the NE, SE, or Central years ago. I wanted NW or SW as a start. Turned them down, but my buddy in NY said it was a great job.

BS the accident involved solely the two employees going home early.

U.S. intelligence indicating that NATO sees Russia as weakened by the Ukraine war, offering the US and Europe an opportunity to escalate action against Russian interests and allies in the East, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The only reason Epstein and Maxwell had court cases is because everyone knows the court records were sealed and nobody else could be prosecuted.

Even today, the files are still sealed and nobody can be charged.

The records currently in hand were insufficient then as they are insufficient now.

Congress should just go into a sealed room, review all the unredacted Epstein Files themselves, and then release them on the House floor under the Speech and Debate Clause.

Let's see...

Every President that knew that the laws were wrong, the bills are too much, the debt keeps going up, VETOED.

Every Senate took a look at the House's bills and voted against them.

Thanks to the WH and the Senate, deficit spending is in the long ago past.

Surpluses for decades have paid down the National Debt and the People are better for it.

Or, did both parties just sign off on it.

Both parties have approved the National Debt.

Think it'll change in January when the House flips?

Just look up the current state of welfare in the Nordic countries.

It's been deteriorating.

Then look at the reasons it's happening.

Eventually, when a good thing grows, it takes more to give more.

Wasn't qualified dividends created under Bush and made permanent by Obama?

Where are the employees that decided to open quit and open a business, pay a living wage, give great health insurance, benefits galore, and a pension.

So many employees know it can be done. Where are these entrepreneurs?

"50% of Americans want to see ICC-indicted war criminal Israeli PM Benjamin Satanyahu arrested for war crimes, as well as a stop to the genocide in Gaza and the Forever War that the US is fighting against Iran on behalf of Israel."

Ask those same Americans if they support Obama, Biden, Trump, and Bush being arrested for war crimes.

Remind the Americans why the US doesn't recognize the ICC.

Genocide? How do you make the region stop fighting? If both sides want genocide, let them fight until the last man.

Or, explain how to stop a religious mentality war.

The DSA is not promoting socialism.

Not all Social projects are good for the country. Some are great. Some are great for some and not others. I.e. criminals hate the police.

Social programs, here in the US and abroad, can be beneficial.

The DSA platform is not socialism as being argued. What about those European countries and their social programs??

Yeah, they have some nice programs.

DSA platform is not.

Every President would be facing the ICC for what they did in office. So, Trump's Iran is no different than the other Presidents: they'd all be facing the ICC, charges, and arrest. The next US Presidemt will probably violate some ICC.

Next, illegal immigration. Toss them all out. Legal immigration vs illegal immigration. That's not a Dem or Rep position. The difference is enforcement. Were the deaths of people during illegal immigration enforcement illegal? That's why we have a judicial branch.

But, if you can be prevented from coming across the border without a trial, you shouldnt get a trial after sneaking in. Fine: the immigtation laws exist and the immigration courts. Use them. Close the borders until its done.

OK, let's talk SCOTUS.

The only balance for a Dem/Rep is 4 vs 4 on the bench with no deciding 9th vote. This prevents ideology deciding cases. If the result is 4-4, act like a jury. Go back and get a verdict and don't come back until you do.

Anyone who thinks their side picks Justices that are unbiased are liars.

Every judge walks around saying "I'll uphold the Constitution" while actions say "and my beliefs control my vote".

When the judges at any time lean one way or the other, it should never, ever be known ahead of time that it'll be a 5-4, 6-3, 7-2, 8-1 decision, voted by party lines.

I want a _____ on the ballot for EVERY OFFICE. Not just President. Every position I'm voting for. I want a write in vote for every job.

Stop both parties from controlling the choice by offering only two check boxes.

The US should close all 900+ foreign military bases.
The US should cut its spending to NATO, UN, until we pay less than #2.

Get rid of the law that says the US must provide troops in any country but at home. We freaking have 76,000 minimum troops under the NDAA? Those nations overseas should be putting up troops and defense spending.

Bring back the WPA. Able bodied people should be working for public assistance. Partially disabled is partially able.

Does this sound like I'm MAGA, DSA, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, etc?

I've been unaffiliated happily since Perot. I think he was my first vote for President. Independent means I am not subject to the party sole voter lever. Those that pull one lever are already a problem. It's lazy voting.
