I’m not an international law expert. I’m a Georgia workers comp expert. But it seems unlikely to me that it is legal to carry out extra judicial summary execution of foreign nationals at sea. Not in a declared war. No authorization of any kind.

Balance seems to be in really short supply right now

Absolutely agree with this completely
Absolutely!! Capitalism has been infested with an unprecedented level of greed and contempt for labor
That's why he feels no obligation to comply with court decisions
I'm super happy with the string of legal wins against Trump in the lower courts and we need more. The problem with going after Trump in the court is that SCOTUS has granted him Presidential Immunity for anything even remotely connected to his core functions.
BREAKING: Appeals court REJECTS Trump’s attempt to fire Democratic FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter. The judges ruled “the government has no likelihood of success on appeal,” representing a major setback for Trump’s attempt to purge independent agencies.
This is going to prove problematic
I’d like to believe Rudy’s story about the car crash, but I remember Shop Rite 2022.
She's just not cut out for public service
I think it's more a function of the credibility of this President AND the WH. They literally lie about EVERYTHING. I personally find it difficult to give much credence to anything they say.
😂😂😂
So, create Blue MAGA? Any organization that says aware from criticism will never be as successful as they could be. Do this if you want a political party that's going to absolutely take your vote for granted.

Trump has always intended to be a domestic President given his history LONG before politics of always punching down. Something he cannot do Internationally. It's why he embraces isolationism for the country but NOT for his businesses.
Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.

An appeals court has sided with the EPA in the legal battle over termination of $20 billion in Biden-era climate grants, a major victory for the Trump administration’s bid to cancel hundreds of environmental grants and boost fossil fuel production.

If you are in the national guard and you get ordered to perform law enforcement duties just be aware that it is an unlawful order that you do not have to follow no matter who orders you to. Should you decide to follow it anyway just be aware that you're putting yourself in a position to stand trial
Since the founding of the US there have been about 40 cases of treason in which 13 resulted in convictions. Only three have been executed (one for tearing down a US flag in 1862. None of these has been against US Presidents. Proving treason is extraordinarily difficult to prove.
I've seen this all over Bluesky. It's extremely misleading as it implies that it's a package deal and it is not. If anyone in those positions are convicted then THEY (singularly) shall be removed.
This is absolutely spot on. His demeanor, the way he spoke and the calling for a Muslim ban came so far out of the norms of normal politics that people made the fatal mistake of seeing him as a joke candidate. It would prove to be the first of MANY mistakes that propelled this clown into the WH
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭
I meant 46 years 😊
Dear Peace Prize commitment, America would love it if you awarded this prize to President Biden. The volcanic meltdown of Grandpa Ranty currently in the WH would be epic and provide a much needed morale booster for the entire world. TIA, Me!
We have moved further and further away from the vision the founding fathers had for this country, over the past 10 years than we have in the previous 36 years of my political life. I'm 64 and I started voting at 18.
Social media has had such a large, deteriorating impact on American society across the board. If I had the authority to, I'd get rid of every single one of them and force people to go talk to their friends and neighbors face to face
This punk went on social media and started groveling for forgiveness. Says he gave the hat back to the kid. He lives in Poland so he may not have a business we can boycott. He needs to be treated as a pariah for the rest of his life
The Epstein files still matter. Where is it? It's the only crime I care about right now
What does helping student athletes have to do with snatching a hat from a kid? If he wants to address that I'll happily give him another crack at it

Trump announces EVERYTHING on Truth Social. Whatever this is could also be announced there but he chose not to. Why? Some lies are SO huge and highly inflammatory that it has to be done in person. It's also likely going to be something extraordinarily stupid. In any event it's not worth paying
Great take on this issue! 💯🎯

reason, they must crack the code and find out why.
Historically, young folks simply didn't vote. What's happening now feels a bit different than in the past. Many young folks in the past simply had no interest in politics and let the system steer itself. Today's youth seem to be more activist with causes they're really concerned with. Whatever
return will fat outweigh that and won't really have any impact on your bottom line. A happy, healthy, productive citizenry buys more of your products. Republicans will choke all of that off in favor of a quick dopamine hit by transferring money from consumers to you.
"Speaking up" doesn't have to be verbal. Instead of dumping 100's of millions of dollars into Republican anarchy why not invest that money into Democratic candidates and their causes. Will they ask you to pay an additional 1-2% more in corporate taxes? Yes, they will but what you'll get back in

feel hamstrings them from affordable housing and jobs that pay a living wage. As long as they continue to push our current system of economics without providing a means to help them get ahead young folks will continue to sit out elections.
they want implemented to relieve them of these pressures. Extolling the virtues of capitalism is a message that will fall on deaf ears. Politicians that frame their platforms in traditional capitalist terms will likely lose young voters. From my observation, they don't support a system that they
I really feel there's more to it than a lack of trust in political parties although that's certainly a part of it. Younger voters are under an immense amount of social and financial pressure that they become hyper focused on single issues that

of years old. Netanyahu's actions will do nothing to solve it. Jihadist hate Israel and describe them as "Little Satan". Do you know who they see as the "Big Satan"? Yeah, the United States. We are well on our way to being pulled into what is going to become a major conflagration in the middle east
No one denies him his right to defend his country from attack but that defense MUST be proportional in nature. What he's doing has nothing to do with defending Israel. He's feeding his bloodlust and wouldn't be out of line to describe it as genocide. The middle east conflict is THOUSANDS
I'm gonna say hell 'nah!
Knowing Rudy, it's absolutely possible 🤔
He's probably all over Grindr
"The courts have been unpersuaded that we live in a state of permanent national emergency that is global in scope and decades-long in duration, requiring swift executive action on the theory that Congress could never assemble in time to address the issue. … www.nationalreview.com/corner/divid...
Republicans have a propensity for kicking the can down the road. I'm sure they'll continue this practice with any and everything Epstein related
It didn't make a lick of sense for him to tell us what he was doing BEFORE the accident unless his intention was to elicit sympathy for his trash bag of a client.
No way Rudy's spokesperson lied
With all this talk about crimes in cities, let's take a look at the city in America that has the worst violent crime rate: Memphis, Tennessee. What makes Memphis interesting is that it is a large city in a red state which borders two other red states. The city limits of Memphis border AR and MS.
Bringing down the full brunt of the law on children whose "crime" was being brought to this country by parents escaping a dictatorial regime strikes me as unnecessarily cruel
They must have forgotten to give Trump his cut.
Let's not forget benefactors like Leonard Leo and the Heritage Foundation spreading wads of cash around to at least two members of the court. It's well past time for America to acknowledge the very real possibility that the Roberts court is corrupt.
I was assured by Trump that he had a GREAT relationship with Xi and Putin.
The Trump administration has stepped up efforts to obtain personal information about tens of millions of voters across the country, including seeking sensitive data such as partial Social Security numbers.
He has a well documented history of alcoholism. If I had to place odds, I'd say it's more likely than not that he was drunk as a skunk

How's he going to protect this city from the daily attacks it will endure from surrounding countries

The President is an international joke.
The answer is simple. Its "NO!" Our judicial system isn't set up to ensure our constitutional rights to a fair trial and a presumption of innocence are protected in the court of public opinion. The legal standard is low in the court of public opinion that it's essentially non-existent.

of the military under a single department for better coordination and efficiency.
The Department of War was renamed as the Defense Department in 1949 to reflect a broader focus on national security and defense strategies, rather than just military operations. This change also aimed to unify the various branches
That's what I said. Supposedly it's something involving the cartels although Meduro thinks it's about regime change. For me it's proof positive of how ridiculous for his desire for a Nobel Peace prize is
Good point
