Yep. What's worse it's that it used to be "get out, hide out, take out" and they figured out how to make it shorter.

But they don't know that they are victims. It could just as easily have been the shooter behind the door, or the shooter could be in there with hostages. I think they reacted as well as they could have.

It's in the training videos. Run, hide, fight, and when the police find you hiding show them your hands because they don't know who the shooter is.

It wasn't an arrest, it was just detaining for 3 days without charges. That's totally normal and fine, apparently.

Maritime law does have precedent for this, so while a lot of the stuff he does is bad, everything the administration does isn't automatically illegal. Just because we don't need to talk about maritime law much, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

That's fine that you demand more evidence, but it only happened today, it will take a little while for all of the evidence is made public.
I get that this administration does bad things and Trump reported it in a weird way, but I think we can chalk that up to his incompetence as much as anything.

You can - you just have no protection if someone tries to board you because you're not in anyone's territory.

No. Buckingham Palace is in sovereign territory. A ship flying a false flag is by definition stateless and can be boarded under international law. And is usually breaking other laws otherwise they'd just fly a legal flag.

Are you sure that it didn't? It's more likely that they just didn't talk about it as much, because going after ships flying false flags has been the practice for awhile.

Sounds like it wasn't another country's vessel - it was flying a false flag, which makes it stateless and allowed to be seized under maritime law because you don't know what other illegal things it's doing.
They could have mentioned that at the beginning, though, instead of the vague "we wanted to"

At the beginning wasn't he bragging that no one wanted to go fishing anymore because of how deadly their strikes were? I wonder when it became a problem.

Aside from the obvious legal problems of keeping it, who exactly would refine it? Surely someone told him that one tanker of heavy crude won't reduce the price of gasoline.

I believe he means making them unavailable for Real Americans™️ or driving up costs. Which is theoretically demand side economics but isn't what's actually driving up the cost of housing.

There's a photo I've seen floating around, but as gas was $1.50 it's not recent. Maybe that's why he thinks gas is still under $2 a gallon?

Which is weird, because as I recall from when he first came on as Chief Justice, he was really concerned with precedent and the legacy of his court. I don't know if that changed or was just all show, but it's notable.

That's not the same though, because I bet the rent in NoVA is higher than in Hickory NC.

I'm glad someone is saying it, and we should be open to people changing their minds, but it will take a lot more for me to trust that she is sincere.

I wonder how many are counting the recent signing of the agreement between Rwanda and DRC as a new one instead of a confirmation of a thing that already happened.
