Progenitor of the Weird Knife Wednesday feature column. Is “column” the right word? Anyway, apparently I also coined the Very Specific Object nomenclature now sporadically used in the 3D printing community. Yeah, that was me. This must be how Cory Doctorow feels all the time these days.
Starting a war of aggression is already a war crime, which means Trump was guilty before we even set foot in (or flew over) Iran. Trying to use Betteridge’s Law Of Headlines to spread doubt about it is not going to be enough, here.
And then 168-some-odd schoolchildren were murdered on Trump’s orders. For this act alone he should be in irons already.
Wow, weird, if only you guys were in a position to pass laws to make things illegal, and enforce said laws by directing men with guns to show up and force people to stop doing whatever it was.
Oh well, what are you gonna do, right?
I’m positive that’s verboten as well. The constitution is quite clear that this requires the approval of Congress.
Too bad, Lincoln’s post-Civil-War supreme court preemptively torpedoed this one. It’s been ruled that you need permission from the rest of the union to secede and can’t do it unilaterally, even through the union was formed in the first place via unilaterally seceding from the British empire.
…Because that makes sense.
Anyhoo, even if these dingbats succeed according to their own metrics the federal government won’t let them go. So have fun with that. Not that I trust any of said dingbats to have actually studied any history on the matter whatsoever, or on any other matter while we’re at it.
Blowing up a school and murdering 168 schoolchildren is absolutely a war crime. Journalists need to grow a spine and stop trying to spread uncertainty by soft-pedaling this shit.
