I have no idea about anything at all, but part of me wants to see this be the result of some predictable, stupid mistake, like a unit conversion error or something, and another part of me wants it to be something totally unpredictable, like some unique gravitational anomaly or some latent radiation of some kind, like, something with muons.
That data would be inadmissible in the murder trial. Lethal force is only privileged in response to an imminent lethal threat that the privileged act is the only way to avoid. The shooter's life was not in immediate danger and killing the CEO isn't likely to change the policies. You'd have to make your decision in the jury box without it.
I agree if caught he should be prosecuted. I'd be real conflicted about it but I could convict. He either did it or didn't.
I'm lumping the sycophants in with the leader. He is the leader. He susceptible to influence, and easy to manipulate, but give him credit. There is no way he hasn't already had people killed. He's had the kgb looking out for him for decades, and a lot of the people around him, too. Some of the sycophants are so shamelessly devout because they are ideological allies, some, it's because they're compromised. Someone, maybe, got to their families. Too loose of an end for my tastes, and I think those around Biden would see it similarly. I hope you're right for everyone's sake. I think you understate Trump's role in the criminal enterprise and his willingness to use violence.
Appreciate your comment. Nobody can prove something that is a matter of intuition. Can't prove what anyone might do in the future.
You agree, at a minimum, with me that there are clear conflicts of interest.
That fact alone is a national security risk.
People often lose their security clearance if they go into debt or get arrested. It's not because of the risk they are bad with money or even that they've committed a crime. It's because they are in a position where they are vulnerable to being exploited.
And it's a sliding scale. The more someone knows, or the more control someone might wield, there is increasingly less tolerance in the national security world for possible avenues of exploitation.
Ex presidents are loose ends on the nation's closest secrets, right? Also, potentially very powerful, even after their terms end, right?
Trump absolutely has a history of demanding loyalty and trading favors. "Hey, Joe, as you know, we have your son, Hunter, and we're holding him over there, and we have some of the boys watching him, and we were wondering if you wouldn't come out and publically say US weapons are prolonging the war in Europe, and that we need to leave well enough alone...."
We have literally heard that rhetoric from Trump with our own ears.
Are you the same person that was trying to both sides this? You can't compare turning over the former president's criminal kid to a bunch of alt right trumpists and Russian loyalists with turning over the ex president's criminal kid to lib dems, Merrick Garland and Jim Comey types. They bag this dude's shit when he travels. You think they were going to let him let Trump keep his kid?
Edit: : we will see after The noise dies down and insiders start spilling the beans about what happened in the room. My confidence level that the national security conflict of interest was a principal consideration is very high.
This is at the old military fort on Corsica in the town of Ajjacia, France, birthplace of Napoleon.
I don't know hardly anything about the fort, but looking at it, it has this grassy moat around it, and the donkey was in there just chowing away in grass and stuff. I think he's there to help keep it clean, and is probably not a very good fighter, even if highly motivated.
“Weiss is a COWARD, a smaller version of Bill Barr, who never had the courage to do what everyone knows should have been done,” the former president wrote of U.S. Attorney David Weiss. “He gave out a traffic ticket instead of a death sentence. Because of the two Democrat Senators in Delaware, they got to choose and/or approve him. Maybe the judge presiding will have the courage and intellect to break up this cesspool of crime. The collusion and corruption is beyond description. TWO TIERS OF JUSTICE!”
