"Morning? Already?!"

It's an unusual way for her to describe what happens when the Iranians slide a billion into that Qatari bank account opened by the mysterious John Barron.

Same. I can't name a player on the Cardinals. And I've lived in St Louis much of my adult life. Haven't even watched a whole game of it in a couple years now, not even the Series.

It's true except these idiots only play things where you can shoot realistic NPCs and splatter the place with blood, like Call of Duty. Strategy games might have encouraged ....strategic thinking. A little. At least.

It's impressive how the officials think a normal human being, when tripped at a run, will actually gain a foot in the air with their heels up over their butt.

Gravity must go away for a second when a millionaire gets tripped! Their theatrics ought to be scored by a panel of side judges.

He think he can extort another payoff there?

Or is he trying to appease Cubans in Florida after locking up/deporting big bunches of them?

Or, most likely, he's got toys and wants to play with them until everything is broken.

Weirdly named mystery docs flooding our client portals is always an adventure in my office. (Not using Clio just another product with client portal tools.)

Nice beating them to the punch! Local news stations need to learn how to do...reporting?

Or the French or Italians or Brazilians.

But it's always men's teams, rarely the women.

Weirdly, sinking the enemy war ship that is not armed may not be a war crime in itself...The law of war is f'ing weird. But failing to render aid to the sailors might be. And not just srnd a couple frigates to capture the ship instant is embarrassing.

Congratulations, WaPo, you did it, you published the worst take

Goodbye, Ian.

You're throwing tantrums bc you got called on your Internet lawyering. So goodbye. I'm muting you.

But please feel free to call me everything you are thinking from behind the mute. Enjoy.πŸ‘‹

........and then the DOJ charges them with the crimes they have committed like we do with all criminals.

But feel free to keep obsessing over international tribunals that will never happen because no one accepts just making the ICC the world hangman.

That's nice. But what peecisely is your obsession then with the Hague?

And why are you unable to cope with the idea of the US charges its own criminals? You want to send Hegseth to the Hague. You need to have a govt willing to do so. That means elect new people.

You could actually read about the charges against Duterte. They are for crimes committed while he was a governor in the Phillippines. When he became president, he withdrew the nation from the treaty...so hw faces no charges for the more heinous stuff he did then.

06.03.2026 17:30 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

The ICC will not bring charges for crimes before the treaty was ratified by the country in question. I'm applying the actual law, what do you think you are applying?

Wish folks would stop the Hague schtick.

We can't refer cases to the Hague. By treaty, their jurisdiction does not extend to nontreaty actors and cannot do so retroactively.

We have to prosecute our own war criminals.

Geez, you'd assume the words "you fcking did WHAT!?" were screamed by at least one lawyer.

But it IS Kalshi, so it's not totally out of the realm that at least one lawyer there said, "Does anyone KNOW they're a minor?"

There are a series of women he molested or tried to while floating around the Trump admins. I assume Trump adores him because he's living the "grab 'em by the p" lifestyle.

I really hate the Spanish team.

But you kinda turned me around there.

I would have been relaxed.

I wouldn't have checked my news feed nervously 12 times today alone.

I wouldn't have been on edge all day over an old friend stranded in Jordan trying to get on a flight...and praying that flight would not take friendly fire on the trip out.(worked out ok)

Custer said something like this at Little Big Horn, I think.

Rhis Term he's only firing them if they actually blame him for something, it appears.

A big part of being 60 is finding a recliner you can sleep in a couple nights a week because your joints ache too much when you lie prone.

Oh and getting cataract surgery because can't see traffic signs at night anymore.

He's too f'ing stupid to realize how he sounds. But I'm sure he'd say you shouldn't get your panties in a twist, then high-five some aide with an 88 tattooed on each hand...

They managed to crap all over their Prime TV with the same effects too.

Hope Hicks should make a cameo since she was allegedly Corey's side piece in the first term.
