Oh. Ok. That makes more sense.
Trump is using the US military to commit war crimes to drive up oil prices and enrich Russia, which like Venezuela, sells a lot of oil to China.
That totally tracks. It's not about drugs, or even about Maduro. It's Trump being played by Putin.

Today, the UCP government passed a law in Alberta making it illegal to prescribe gender affirming care to minors, even with parental approval.
And before it could even be challenged in court, they used a provision of the constitution that allows them to violate charter rights with impunity.

All of the high priority issues with the new version of Blawx have been resolved. Unless any more show up, it should just be a couple of weeks of final production checklist stuff before it is live, maybe less. From masters thesis to bootstrapped SaaS #LegalTech in under 5 years! 😅 #RulesAaCode

A financial company, which will not be named, yet, is refusing to release my trans eldest's RESP unless they have the university change their name on their records to their deadname.
Our answer was (paraphrased) "No other institution required deadnaming. Gross. Go fuck yourselves."

The reaction of the Premier to the court ruling a referendum question is unconstitutional is the beginning of the "judges are the problem" MAGA bullshit that must be actively rejected by members of the bar in Alberta.
The judge only applied the law #ABLeg wrote. The judge is not the issue.

Pretty happy with the RTÉ and others' decision to boycott Eurovision over Israel's being invited.
It's symbolic, and it won't change much. But we should abnormalize the state perpetrators of genocide. That seems like a good policy.

So is ordering a murder impeachable?
I guess we will have to wait to find out.

Also, telling US soldiers to disobey illegal orders isn't subordination. It's superordination. Or ordination simpliciter, or something.
I cannot find one civilian case since 1969 charging 18 USC § 2387 (the intentionally urging insubordination charge that Hegseth is brandishing at Sen. Kelly), though it looks like a few courts-martial have charged it “assimilated” through Art. 92, UCMJ (disobeying orders) 👇

Doesn't seem like a hard choice.
Either way, the US isn't helping you fight. One way, you cease to exist, and RU aggression is rewarded.
