We should not put me in charge of punishing individuals for these crimes against humanity. Because I get all hit in the head and want to lock up these fucking torturers in tiny cages and mistreat them and that’s actually the point, YOU CANNOT DO THAT TO ANYONE EVEN IF CONVICTED OF CRIMES

Sounds like a plan.

The right answer is: as soon as we have Congress, and then as we refer many many many people for prosecution.

Garland slow-walked the arrest and punishment of Trump, which is to say he maximally failed. He rolled up J6 from the bottom.

There are so. Many. Crimes. And punishment must be swift.

A Double Agent in Tehran Mohammad Tajik claimed to be an Iranian intelligence officer and promised to reveal his country’s secrets. But first he had a game to play.

This mother in the bookstore just told her daughter to pick one book to relax your brain and is fun and one to challenge your lifestyle.

Explaining a guilty pleasure to her child she said, we don’t always have to be thinking. This is all great advice.

“impeachable”

So it should be reaffirmed on other grounds?

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff filed a supplemental brief [16], which indicates that, prior to initiating this case, Plaintiff named all of the defendants identified in this case in three prior cases. In each of those cases, Plaintiff voluntarily amended its complaint to drop all but one defendant once the case was assigned to a particular judge. Such conduct suggests that Plaintiff lacks a good faith factual and legal basis to join the defendants in a single proceeding. And repeatedly naming the same group of defendants in new cases until a case is assigned to a judge the plaintiff believes to be hospitable to joinder constitutes an abuse of process. As a result, the Court issues an order to show cause on or before 12/15/2025, why this case should not be dismissed for an abuse of process. Mailed notice. (evw, )

Judge Blakey orders Marc Jacobs (represented by GBC) to show cause as to why the case should not be dismissed for abuse of process, following a series of amend-down-to-one maneuvers:

Trump administration dismisses eight immigration judges in New York The US Department of Justice has dismissed eight immigration judges in New York City, the association representing them said Tuesday, amid tensions with the courts as President Donald Trump's…

Eight immigration judges in NYC have been dismissed by the Trump administration. This could reshape how thousands of cases are decided.

Ugh.

Sounds like an article I don’t need to read

There are stars and there are actors. Most in either category don’t get to be or have to be the other.

De Niro has acted. But is he an actor, now? Or just a star?

Pronouncing it as if it begins with the word mole, as a bit

That’s unfair seems like GG is affirmatively in favor of the MAGA agenda, she’d support this man even if he wasn’t honoring her. That’s the charitable view: she is a bad person. A worse view is she doesn’t support him but still hungers for adulation.

Three-year-old child forced to serve as her own attorney in Tucson immigration court More than a dozen undocumented minors were forced to make their case in front of an immigration judge as the Trump administration ramps up removal proceedings.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Question: vegan cheese y/n?

Impossible burger y/n?

Is it forbidden to have a cheeseburger even if it does not violate the law, if it resembles something that does? What if we eat it in private? And, like, in the dark?

Sorry, sorry, these questions are better posed to a rabbi …

“Reasoning-like arrangements of words,” please.

It seems like bad faith to you because you demand faith in your beliefs. She lacks those beliefs, and invites you to embarrass yourself by asking questions that go to the heart of your indefensible positions. That you took the bait is your problem.

Yes; they should absolutely be socialized to choose that. Being shot dead by someone dead set on murdering civilians wouldn’t be a fun way to go. But it would be an honorable choice if mutiny wasn’t an option.

And death isn’t mandatory. Lawyering is a less final approach. You can always lawyer

the first 21 strikes. All were illegal strikes. But only this last one was so clearly illegal from what we know that everyone since Washington, as well as many others much earlier, would uniformly agree it was a war crime.

Your comment shows an admirable sense of the morality of the initial killings. It shows an astounding lack of awareness of the historical context of a killing made under these circumstances - one that shocks the conscience EVEN IN THE CONTEXT of the initial murders.

GOP didn’t rise in revolt after

When they target journalism they’re attacking OUR right to receive true and relevant information.

A reminder that the First Amendment protects not just citizens but People, and that DOS can deny visas based on politics (and lies, in particular) - such decisions should be subject to searching court review. Not unreviewable.

A Missouri appeals court just handed a big win to reproductive supporters by rewriting a summary of a GOP-backed ballot measure to repeal the right to an abortion after concluding the prior version was misleading in many ways.

no proof offered, but the outrageous claim is that drug trafficking itself is an attack in a war. the boat would have had to refuel many, many times to reach the US - which makes sense, as it wasn't headed there. Jail for all involved.

well said and helpful context for those far removed from such matters.

and, as this readable piece is saying, "don't get hung up on whether it's murder OR war crimes, plenty of space for it to be both or either"

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

(Spraining my thumb because I’m hitting the Back, cancel, close app and power off buttons too hard, but continuing to punch them regardless)

Do Not Want

Heh, “landlines” :)

Does the “why” in the press release really say he “committed war crimes by [talking about the boat strikes] … and his mishandling of classified info”

His mishandling was culpable but I think not a war crime?
Don’t we anymore do editing for expressing meaning clearly?

It does, but that doesn’t mean that there cannot be crimes committed, punishable under state law, by federal law enforcement. Don’t confuse supremacy issues with the much more fanciful idea of global blanket immunity for Feds of all state crimes, which is not a thing. S Miller thinks it is. It isn’t

Just totally the Worst Sort of Guy. IBCK indeed.

There was a thread on here with Christians defending a Holocaust narrative that centers the fictional Nazi German family rather than treat the victims as people. Not a good thread mind you…
