What is really frightening
Is that Trump, the SCOTUS, Trump judges, Musk and others of his ilk, Republicans, MAGA, racist, the Heritage Foundation, etc. They are doing and saying things in plain sight. Its one thing to do things in secret, but they aren't even hiding their intentions. And most Americans just have this lackadaisical and nonchalant attitude about it.
Trump is the epitome of being white, rich and powerful
And getting away with everything. But somehow appeals to people under the mantra that he is fighting for the everyday forgotten man. And it works. Jeez, some Americans are stupid!
We are headed to an authoritarian one party rule dictatorship
And it is being done right in the open and the American people are just letting it happen by either voting for him or not voting.
Republicans and conservatives have created this divisive political environment
I am so tired of the media (both sidesying) and Republicans (blaming democrats) for what happened. For the last 40 years republicans and conservatives have villainized Democrats on talk radio, cable news, the internet and social media to the point where their followers don’t think of us as fellow Americans anymore. They are the ones constantly pushing hateful rhetoric and are never held accountable. When they are called out they always pushback with sayings like: people are being too PC, it’s just words, stop being a snowflake, this is cancel culture, your woke, etc. Anytime Democrats fight back that’s when the media and Republicans want to clutch their pearls.
Indiscriminate or Disproportionate Attacks per the Geneva Conventions
Indiscriminate or Disproportionate Attacks
Humanitarian law prohibits any kind of indiscriminate attacks. Such attacks do not distinguish between military objectives and civilian persons or property. Such attacks are defined and prohibited in detail in Article 51 of the 1977 Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions as well as in Rules 11, 12 and 13 of ICRC customary IHL study:
attacks that are not directed at a specific military objective;
attacks that employ a method or means of combat that cannot be directed at a specific military objective;
attacks that employ a method or means of combat whose effects cannot be limited;
attacks by bombardment, by any methods or means, that treat as a single military objective a number of clearly separated and distinct military objectives located in a city, town, village, or other area containing a similar concentration of civilians or civilian objects;
attacks that may be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects, or a combination thereof and that would be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated.
Democrats shouldn't have nayed the adjournment call.
Should have let McCarthy and the Republicans get bad press all weekend…..because of the nay vote and then the subsequent roll call vote, it gave republicans time to talk and convince the holdouts to vote present.
If McCarthy doesn't become speaker.
I assume he would resign, right? Which will help us for awhile because the house will become 221-213 until Newsom calls a special election. I mean no way he would want to stay around after getting rejected. Yeah, I know that he stayed in Congress the first time he seeked the role when Ryan got it, but this time is different.
