Just as Nicholas II proscribed, for sure, definitely

Hague doesn’t apply to the us. And cannot become applicable retroactively. Anyone who thinks any trump admin member is going to The Hague is lying to themselves, the icc has no power

Pete hegseth is getting a pardon and his old job back unfortunately
November 28, 2025 at 9:21 PM
I mean I doubt he put it in writing. Not because he was trying to have deniability even, I just don’t think he likely writes much at all lol

I’m curious also now about why they took prisoners on that later strike, did someone actually get cold feet after the first one? Pretty obvious sign of being aware that it was illegal

I mean it’s gotta be a ucmj thing for active duty people involved imo

Doj doing espionage cases is one thing but I doubt there will be appetite for making following orders to murder dudes a civilian thing

No, the intelligence agencies of the United States surveilling enemy states is mostly good

And largely irrelevant to this discussion because even in snowdens own statements he didn’t have an issue with foreign intelligence he just (mostly incorrectly) thought it was poorly targeted

Basically he hit every variety of Ego as the reason for treason not just the wannabe hero variant
November 28, 2025 at 6:43 AM
To be clear I think that’s all largely correct he just also had a personal stick up his ass about being a dead ender professionally and was acting (to some debatable proportion) out of spite and revenge for the perceived slights

>Snowden was a well meaning dolt

nah

i dont believe theres evidence that he fabricated things and i think he of multiple goals genuinely did not like some of the mass surveillance programs, but he intended to cause broad harm to national security, not well meaning whistle-blowing.

dont worry, the ritual killing of the steelers will still be a prime time WC game because of the viewership lmao

basically in blue states the rich in the US are already paying over 50% taxation. theres not much more to pull there, the actual problem with american taxation is people making 100k are taxed far too little, thats where the money is
November 25, 2025 at 6:04 PM
yes im saying you are wrong in that the rich and corporations already pay more than an even share of taxation.

they would have to pay more to increase services but if you are going rich only tax increases and not broad base at this point you are wrong economically even if you are right politically
November 25, 2025 at 6:02 PM
yeah and people are mostly wrong about that, they just dont personally want their own taxes to go up.

if you want real social programs you need to tax *everyone* much more
November 25, 2025 at 5:31 PM
136k is not working class, no
November 24, 2025 at 6:08 PM

November 23, 2025 at 4:30 PM
50% the people who should be in charge there to negotiate with the ukranians and then witkoff and jared to be trump proxies lol

People want to think Iraq is about oil because thats both easier to understand and more clearly evil than the actual truth, the Bush admin was genuinely just dumb.
November 21, 2025 at 6:13 PM
Iraq was about neocons genuinely believing it when they said they wanted to spread democracy and remove the worst dictator in the world in Saddam. Yes they didnt do a good job of it. Yes they basically lied to themselves and definitely to the public. Doesnt mean they didnt believe it.
