So say we all... 😆

That particular trajectory is not new in right-wing circles. Imagine the world today if Adolf Hitler had been accepted by the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna...

That turkey looks "pfeilstickered" - a term my family coined im honour of a German Thanksgiving guest who offered to carve the turkey but failed to disclose that he'd never done it before. Like the Leavitt Abomination, it came out looking like canned tuna (albeit moister because I KNOW how to cook).

Probably not - but like “lethality”, it sounds cool and military-like for Cosplay Tough Guy Pete.

I guess a "lethal, kinetic strike" is by definition a Good Thing and therefore can't result in an unlawful killing? Or something.

I would be a lot more lenient towards all those good and well-meaning people who like to bring the ICC or “The Hague” into discussions of US politics, if they demonstrated any actual understanding of the limits of that Court’s territorial, temporal, and subject matter jurisdiction.

If the armed conflict paradigm does not apply - which they might claim to get out from under war crimes charges/application of the UCMJ - then the use of force itself was unlawful. In both cases, we have a clear line of command responsibility for these violations, right up to "SecWar" Hegseth. 2/2

The through lines are personal enrichment and the desire for a Nobel Peace Prize. World Peace? Ending the suffering of war-affected civilian populations? Protecting the rules-based international system the US stewarded for decades? Not even afterthoughts.

*shot, not *killed. The health status of the two guardsmen remains unclear at this time.

Chris Cuomo would like a word.
