They should be reminded that “just following orders” was not a successful defense in the Nuremberg trials
“Mr. Paul said the agents had told him that they disagreed with the directive to arrest Ms. Paul but that they had to follow orders.
“They are having them grab everyone they can,” Mr. Paul said. “This is just not right.”

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention.
Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

Peter Thiel was alive when popes were covering up widespread, rampant, monstrous sex abuse by Catholic priests. No criticism of those popes. But pope advocating social justice? Yeah, he’s the antichrist.

No TV show should go on forever. Too many linger too long and have mediocre to bad endings. Sons of Anarchy & House of Cards to start.
But a show that ends at the perfect time? Breaking Bad. It’s incredible.

I feel like it is culturally important to note that I recently played an old episode of the Simpsons on Disney+ for some kids and then a random newer episode and the kids, unprompted, were like “how come this isn’t as funny?” so it’s not just nostalgia we are correct
