Mostly letting off steam - steer clear if you want to avoid politics! But you can’t avoid it sadly, more now than ever πŸ™ Also cricket, chess, interesting stuff from sane people… Support Ukraine. No DMs.

Umm. One of the most prominent arguments against masked and anonymous federal agents is so that they can be clearly distinguished from criminals and kidnappers…

As the evidence has clearly shown, and anybody with a brain realised from the start, being prepared to serve within the Trump MkII cabinet was an instant disqualifier to any claim to be "credible".

It is frankly a disgrace that the media doesn’t contextualise his every statement, question response or β€œpolicy change” in the context of a narcissistic moron descending further down the line of dementia (and indeed track such responses against academic documented process of such an individual).

The Trump administration has no interest in impartially prosecuting federal crimes. Just partially ignoring crimes of Trump admin and those who bribe them, and pursuing nonsensical cases against Trump enemies.

It just shows how far the Israeli Go t have gone of the deepend that the antisemites are the voice of reason.

All after launching a National Defence Strategy that implied massive drawback from obligations outside of the Western Hemisphere.

Are they covering up for a paedophile ring, or are they actually just a paedophile ring masquerading as a political party?

More seriously such remotely far-fetched suggestions (without the EU even being in the room!) just show how amateurish the whole US led β€œpeace process” actually is.

Perhaps they should inform their pals in Hungary first…

That’s one view, the other frankly is that Democrats need to stop worrying about precedent and β€œwhere it might lead once started”to fully investigate and prosecute corruption.

Perhaps then he shouldn’t have supported a ruling that said (in effect) β€˜yes you can in fact ignore the laws without consequence…’?

I suppose at this stage all they can do is put people on notice that if and when Nuremberg II ever happens, they will be in no mood to show mercy…

Possibly a dangerous route to go down (actually promising refunds) unless it is something they really intend to follow through on. The voters never hear the caveats, and in the long run justadds to the general contempt in which politicians of all parties are held.

Vikings were certainly not averse to colonisation and slavery. No moral superiority on that account certainly. But perhaps not in areas which would have left them with large legacy non-white populations?

DOJ didn’t lie and use dodgy evidence of non-existent crimes in support of their Trump warrant…. And the Trump documents weren’t property his to β€œreclaim”.

My point was not to assert any sort of Norwegian moral superiority, but to point out that often claimed moral superiority is often largely a product of historic immoral practices.

They don’t have a very large ethnic minority population on account of having not practiced African slavery or tried to colonise half of planet earth? 90% seems quite low in the circumstances.

Well to be fair, it’s not as if certain Federal (inc. SCOTUS) judges haven’t exactly been shy of citing dissenting opinions in support of their Calvinball opinions in recent years. What happens when SCOTUS treats every precedent as negotiable and overturnable based on current composition of the Ct.

SCOTUS: β€œTariffs are a tax and must be approved by Congress”
Trump: β€œF*ck you, and for good measure i’m going to unilaterally increase your taxes to prove i can do whatever i want”.

Yeah - i suspect it’s a slightly misleading translation. He’s not saying that he agrees it is what is needed to end the war - it is the conditions tha US/Russia are trying to impose.
