  1. I'm not aware of any "double-taps," meaning secondary strikes to eliminate hors de combat from an initial strike. We have been doing various strikes with missiles in conflicts short of declared wars but that also resemble authorized use of military force. What we haven't been doing is a) extrajudicial killings of people normally regarded as common criminals b) in a conflict with "narco-terrorists" designated solely by the President in a "conflict" that doesn't immediately endanger Americans and has nothing resembling a congressionally authorized use of military force, except some presidential declaration. Then you reach the issue of a second strike to eliminate hors de combat from the first strike.
  2. It's outside my usual area of practice, but I've been following these issues. The performing rights orgs (ASCAP, BMI, etc.) have licenses for nearly every conceivable scenario. One exception is political advertising and campaigns. For those, you have to go straight to the holders, usually the musicians. I suppose because of the political aspect that the orgs don't want to undertake (or artists don't want to let them). Correction, as DDD notes, PROs will provide licenses for political things, if the artist hasn't opted out. Many have. Also, to use with a video, you need a "synchronization license," which PROs don't provide. Trumpco has lost several of these. One pain in the ass, though, is when an actual administration does it, that is, the government, the infringement is reclassified a 5th Amendment taking and the suit/claim has to proceed In the Court of Federal Claims.
  3. What a waste of ordnance. For maybe 500 kg of drogas. If anything.
  4. Also a bunch of super-anti-government types. Even though they may applaud mass deportations of browns, they're probably not fans of bastropo gestapo either. Puts them in something of a quandary.
  5. This is a glaring demonstration that the immunity ruling is fucked up. The pardon power is a core constitutional function of the executive: he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. Therefore, no matter how egregious the case of bribery, POTUS can never be prosecuted for it.
  6. Probably not locals trashing the joint, of course.
  7. In Idaho of all places. Do we know where?
  8. https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Ethernet-Converter-Multi-Mode-MC200CM/dp/B003AVRLZI?th=1
  9. He said "interdicted off the coast of Venezuela," which reduces the sample size to 14, three of which had no contraband, so presumably the other 11 did. One of the three violated other criminal law. Filipowski flipped the three and 11.
  10. You sound elite. Are you an elitist? Did you go to college?
  11. Demonstrating that lawyers are bad at math. 3/14 had no illicit contraband, 11/14 did. Don't need my HP to tell me 11/14 >>21% Notoriously unreliable bluesky twatter. Dammit, Ron.
  12. I believe they are real. And spectacular.
  13. The origin of all this is that she apparently went on a rant about the commercialization of Nashville and said she hated country music. Don't believe she said anything about Christians. ETA "I hate the city, I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music, I hate all of the things that make Nashville apparently an ‘it’ city to the rest of the country.”
  14. tl;dr AI haemophilia
  15. Doesn't mention it being patented. That would probably be a difficult thing to patent, being basically an elastic cord, but would be fun to try.
  16. A real piece of work. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/family-and-relationships/parenting/who-is-kristi-fulnecky-more-details-on-ou-zero-grade-student-s-mum-s-alleged-controversies-and-political-drama/ar-AA1RyeXW Fuck you hands were tied. Sidebar: A lot of these MAGAts put "public figure" in their social media profiles. I'm not sure what they think that's accomplishing with that. It makes them easier to defame.
  17. How do you win an ALR? Curiosity. Fun fact. I had an argument at the Texas Supreme Court some years back. The case in front of me raised the issue whether the ALR/whole revocation scheme violated due process. Sub issues were whether a DL was a sufficient right to merit due process protection and whether the appeal provided for in the statute properly led to the Supreme Court. The guy arguing it was a super-laid-back criminal defense lawyer that was pretty casual about the whole thing, but also pretty effective.
  18. I'm sure it did, but they're going to try to claim he acted unilaterally, without specific orders. Either way, it would seem he's on the hook, with or without Whisky Pete.
  19. Strange that they could find someone that could be as big a hack as Ronny Jackson.
  20. Also recall that in the first or second strike, there were survivors and no evidence of criminality. They were released "into the wild" never to be seen again. Can't have them giving evidence that they were fishermen or whatever.
  21. Note that it omits cranial imaging. The results there would be "his head is full of fuck."
  22. They were legal because he said they were, duh.
  23. Well, frankly, if he is a flag officer of the United States Navy that didn't at the least question these orders in the first place, he may deserve what he gets. ADM Holsey foreshadowed this shit. Maybe using SOC was an end-around Southcom.
  24. Ok, so these boats are targeted with some kind of missile, which would seem to be drone-launched, aircraft-launched, or surface-launched. Given current "proclivities, I'd assume an AGM-114 Hellfire launched from a Predator or Reaper drone. What on earth does any SEAL team have to do with this? Or JSOC? The drones could be launched from dang near anywhere, maybe likely a surface vessel in this instance, and controlled from really anywhere?
