Oh shit. Either he's losing it, or Mike Johnson has passed along his most effective press interaction tactic to Trump.

I mean, in the United States one of the punishments for this particular war crime is death, so it’s like… pretty illegal

Like… I don’t really care about a midterm slogan at all, other than… to me it tells me the Democratic leadership doesn’t have their head around the importance of anti-trust and preventing the power imbalances that comes from having *so much* wealth and power in so few hands

The problem I have with “no ceiling” is that we really really fucking need a ceiling, and a ton of our issues right now are because we’ve allowed corporations and individuals to consolidate wealth (and power) in a hugely problematic way

If these attacks _were_ war crimes (I agree that they're pretty much just murder and not actual war crimes), they're still subject to domestic prosecution for war crimes, up to and including the death penalty as a punishment.

Right, even if you just _assume_ the facts of the defense, the second strike was clearly murder.
And it was murder committed by everyone in the chain of command that knew the facts of the situation.
And it was a murder that carries the death penalty as a possible punishment

At what point are they walking towards/into defamation?

I think this is Bacon getting out and telling Hegseth he needs a better story than, “yea, I gave the order to take a second strike”

mostly you don't want it to become a quagmire of relitigating past wars. Normally jurisdiction begins when the party ratifies the treaty. Here you would be explicitly back-dating the jurisdiction to cover the current administration's lawlessness, and threatening that *now* to cover *current* crimes

Like, if the ICC can get a warrant for an Obama era officer or appointee who committed war crimes, is there a reason they shouldn’t also go to the ICC?

Is there any reason to limit it to 2025?
Why not just retrospective jurisdiction?

Disturbingly similar fact pattern to Heinz-Wilhelm Eck, a German U-boat commander, who was tried, convicted, and executed after the war for ordering his crew to shoot the survivors of a Greek merchantman sunk by U-852.

Huh, pretty sure the President can’t denaturalize himself, but I’m willing him compromise on he renounces his own citizenship and flees to Russia

I feel crazy having spent a decade wanting NFL coaches to be more aggressive with play calling and now to be like: “how do you not take the points to get it to a one score game??”

I’d argue that invading Iraq and Afghanistan were like… a smidge more imperialistic than calling ourselves American.
And supporting coups in Iran and all over South America and invading Vietnam.
Like… “calling ourselves Americans” doesn’t really rate on the “imperialistic things we’ve done” scale

It drives me so crazy that we don’t teach this kind of personal finances stuff as part of a high school curriculum.
There really should be a course for a full year dedicated to teaching people how financing works, how taxes work and how to actually do them, how to plan for retirement

Like, isn't it possible that instead of being unfamiliar with the basic geography of the UK, the author didn't propose the word British because it's not actually a viable replacement word in the context of "people who live in the UK"?

I mean, if you're taking a shot about geography, it seems like an important aspect to take into consideration. "British" simply isn't an appropriate replacement for people who live in the "UK"
