Oh. you did and you still went to collect $ talking about free speech in another country that did the dismemberment?

Few understand this.
They're fun to draw, too.
04.10.2025 02:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The rule of law means that civilians who commit crimes are prosecuted in courts of law with benefit of due process. Extrajudicial executions in international waters are an affront to our Constitution and the law of nations. It isnβt national defense. Itβs murder.

Acting in defense of third parties is a potential justification, but the harm has to be imminent. Here it obviously was not. And murder in international waters is still murder. So, βmurder.β

I'm not the biggest fan of memes. It's like "oh look! Words in a perfect square! It must be true!" But this is art.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didnβt apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.
02.10.2025 00:47 β π 5369 π 2053 π¬ 251 π 80It would be great to find out if Patel is still sending new agents to the Holocaust Museum as part of their training. We went in the first week and after seeing the museum had a discussion about complicity and law enforcement that was led by someone from the ADL. This was started in 2001 by Freeh.

Not. One.
Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters.
Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.
So many lectures about violent rhetoric from the folks promising to let Federal forces shoot to kill without due process.
