Are you this boring in your real life?

Are ad hominems all you have? Pathetic.

Legal protections apply to everybody or nobody. If you want SCOTUS to strike them down, you should be prepared for all consequences.

which part of you thinks we actually agree with trump's legal team in that presidents should have the legal right to assassinate political opponents, and which part of you thinks we're going to defend drone strikes that killed children

I agree.

However, you only seem to say things like that when Republicans do bad things. Your other tactic is to whatabout a Democrat doing something bad too, as though that justifies what the Republicans do, as opposed to, you know, punishing them both so the stupid shit stops.

It’s a long history of very boring, predictable contribution from you

I mean, I wouldn't mind if Biden had the orange turd bumped off, it would be a great outcome in the near term, especially if they had the piece of shit recant all of his bullshit on camera while pissing himself first.

Never happen though, but I do find it hilarious that it never crossed the soggy pile of turds holding his hair up that stands in for whatever he calls a mind that making this argument might not be clever.

Regarding the Oversight Committee's Resolution to Hold Hunter Biden in Contempt of Congress, Hunter Biden joined the audience, some representatives said stuff, then Moskowitz submitted an amendment for the resolution, saying he'd vote to hold Hunter in contempt if the GOP would vote to hold some GOP Jan 6th supeonna-evaders like Jordan and Meadows in contempt, to "show the American people that we apply the law equally, not just when it's Democrats", and as he finished, Hunter and his posse started walking out. But MTG had already started speaking, so while Hunter was still leaving, she began trying to bait him with "I think it's clear and obvious for everyone watching this hearing today that Hunter Biden is terrified of strong conservative republican women because he can't even face my words as I was about to speak to him. What a coward."

And I could not help but to think back to when MTG was waving around Hunter's penis pictures... and what this says about her.

But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

Ugh all this stuff in the Red Sea with the Houthis...

What is up with these groups attacking commercial ships?

Are we going to manage to keep ourselves out of WWIII for a bit longer while helping stop oppression and aggression?

I've only been reading the news headlines instead of getting too deep into it, but what is their objective even?  I've seen people accusing Russia of funding and stirring them up to distract from Ukraine, which seems plausible, but what do the Houthis think they're going to accomplish here?

The articles I read said that they are Iran-backed, and that they are attacking ships they think are supplying Israel.  Also recently Iran commandeered a ship that they say is a tit-for-tat for the same ship being commandeered in the past by the US I think.

I don't know exactly why they think attacking non-military targets is going to win them any points.

Mostly I really do believe these are people that just enjoy watching the world burn, and those are dangerous people...

Now to be fair I think there are many people in the US, including in the US government, that also just want to watch the world burn. I think we just have a few more checks and balances in place - at least for now.

For some reason I thought Yemen was on the northern end of the Arabian peninsula, ah well.

Looks like forcing shipping to go elsewhere is a goal, as there’s no choice but to go through a strait between Yemen and Djibouti if you want to go through the Suez instead of around the entirety of Africa.

Must this even be political in nature? The Somali piracy was driven by the collapse of state institutions and poverty, and Yemen ain't exactly doing fine in those areas.

Pretty sure the assassination was a liberal judge's hypothetical, not the Trump legal team's. Trump's team said that hypothetically he would need to be impeached before being tried for it. (And if you claim he might not be impeached, you have to recognize that he also might not be convicted in a court.) The whole hypothetical involves SEAL Team 6 actually going through with an assassination to begin with. The actual issue with Trump involves challenging an election, not extrajudicial killings of US citizens.

So do you support putting Obama on trial for murder right now? Or does he get presidential immunity for having to make that decision?

However, you only seem to say things like that when Republicans do bad things. Your other tactic is to whatabout a Democrat doing something bad too, as though that justifies what the Republicans do, as opposed to, you know, punishing them both so the stupid shit stops.

Pro-tip: I don't personally think Obama should be tried for murder. It's a shoe-on-the-other-foot test.
