I am hopeful that we might get a progressive. That’s why the DNC didn’t want a real primary, it’s what the people want.

Except they don’t. These are laws passed by Congress just like every other law.

Because the vast majority of Western nations (including the US) consider it to be a war crime to deliberately make a military strike against survivors of an attack that pose no active threat.

Even that assumes that the original strike has military merit in the first place, which isn’t really the case when they are blowing up unarmed boats that might or might not be carrying drugs.

I guess some of these people expect to still be around in a couple years when there is a new administration that might feel like it’s a good idea to prosecute people for crimes they committed for trump.

You expect Costco to sue on behalf of your company for tariffs paid by your company?

Right, except the problem is that it creates a very easy argument under which everyone involved COULD be prosecuted. Probably not by THIS DOD, but we still have elections in America and this makes it easy for the next bunch.

Ordering that operations be conducted on the basis that there be “no survivors” is also specifically cited as an example of a war crime by the same manual: “Moreover, it is also prohibited to conduct hostilities on the basis that there shall be no survivors, or to threaten the adversary with the denial of quarter.”

The manual is the interpretation of the meaning of existing laws. Its not new law and changing the manual doesn’t change the law. And neither Hesgeth or Trump have the authority to change those laws just because they want to.

Oh look, exactly what Mark Kelly was talking about. Shit rolls down hill guys. Remember that when someone orders you to murder people.

Seriously. i get ignoring zoning and permitting because fuck everyone else, but skipping CODE requirements just means your building fucking sucks.

My stepson works for Costco. They are a fantastic employer compared to other retailers. They also do legitimately promote from within, including for business office professional positions.

I dropped them back when they started throwing money at Joe Rogan. That told me everything I needed to know about them.
