You know that rude driving move where 2 cars going opposite ways are stopped at a light. The oncoming car is making a left turn. As soon as the light turns, the oncoming car guns it in front of the car with the right of way & forces it to slam on its brakes.
Just saw a Waymo do this.

The wholesale murder of people in international waters, without due process, is a crime.
If left unchecked, it will lead to more such crimes.
This is how things work.
Letting them get away with it is the same as giving them permission to keep doing it.

So there's discussion about releasing Trump's MRI. Make sure that we aren't given a report of what someone says are the results of the MRI. The actual images of the MRI must be released so they can be interpreted by real, trained experts. Only way to insure factual accuracy.

Why do I doubt this will occur? He would never lie to us, would he?
If your doctor decided you needed an MRI (indicating concern about something serious) and you claim that you didn't ask why or what part of your body he wanted to look at, you are:
1. Really stupid; or
2. Dangerously detached from reality; or
4. Lying; or

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
