War of choice = war of aggression = war crime.

War of choice makes it sound like a menu selection.

The first step toward trying the old conman and his cronies for war crimes would be impeachment. Do sign onto one of the House bills to impeach him.

And we might also express sorrow for the 150 schoolgirls murdered by our pilots with Israeli support.

A 'war of choice' is a war of aggression. That is, it is a war crime. An alleged war criminal should be removed from office and put on trial.

Attacking another country that poses no imminent threat is a war crime. Even with the approval of Congress, it's a war crime. A war criminal should be removed from office and put on trial.

Evidently, the first casualty of war for this misbegotten regime is not truth but the half-way plausible lie.

Some old German guy was writing about the adulteration of food as a way to extract more value from the workers back in the 1860s.

Progress!

The NYT provides an article on reactions of Democratic and Republicon members of Congress. Some were critical but nobody appears to have noticed that a war of aggression is the ultimate war crime, the crime from which all others flow. The old conman has shamed the nation. Again.

IMDb (a subsidiary of Amazon) rating of Melania: 1.3/10.

47,000 people provided their ratings.

I don't know if that's the lowest rated documentary ever. It has to be close.

I see the Ponzi scheme disguised as a car company named after a great scientist has to dish out another $139 billion to the most overpaid person in the history of the world.

Don't tell me this system rewards merit.

The Worst Supreme Court Ever demonstrates once again in the Texas case that the only "principle" guiding its decisions is whatever benefits the Republicon Party.

I don't know what the article says, but as I recall it, DeSantis "won" by suppressing the data.

Some win.

The cynicism of the people who defend the state, well expressed.

Wrong on all counts.

Unfortunately, tyranny can make the false the true. The old conman knows all is left to him is his rapidly eroding power.

It seems he has never even glanced at the price sign for a gas station either. Never mind pumping his own gasoline.

Some years ago, Frank Rich commented on "the Republican Party's seemingly endless supply of closeted gays."

The old conman may be one in an old Republicon tradition.

All this time, I thought Putin was threatening the old conman with the pee tape. It's nothing compared to a pic of a pseudo-billionaire BJ.

If true, I can't see the MIC or the intel community tolerating a CIC controlled by a foreign power for much longer.
