lol a lib trying to make invading another country into something about tHe CourTs!!!

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's almost cute how liberals have convinced themselves that Hegseth will face tHe CourTs!!! because he double tapped ships and and in so doing killed survivors and that's a wAr CrImE. I didn't want to be an (highly annoyed) reply guy so I put Hegseth into my filters. I could have replied and I could reply a 1,000 times with stuff like "Obama doubled tapped 'enemy combatants'. The Israelis routinely double tap civilians even if the target is a hospital. Double tappping is a norm for people and countries that will never face accountability."

But replying would be utterly pointless. Bluesky libs will refuse to think and listen. They are in "tHe CourTs!!!" mode. Hegseth Man Bad and he must be held accountable!

It was super duper illegal for Obama to kill an American teenager using a drone strike. He did it anyway. Libs ignore it or make excuses. Obama will never face any consequences for it. I don't like Trump (obviously), but he's the president Americans deserve.

At one point Obama had a legal problem and a PR problem. My favorite about his two terms was how they dealt with drone strikes killing "too many" civilians. He and his guys came up with a clever workaround. I forget the exact ages but basically speaking - nearly any adult male killed in a drone strike was an "enemy combatant". Easy-peasy!

I don't remember what legal and linguistic trickery they used to justify double taps.

Obama walked so Trump could run.

The OP is a MS NOW legal expert and hopeless liberal. But I linked to her anyway because I haven't heard anybody explain things so succinctly. Now that I've mentioned her - I might even follow her for shits and giggles. Her takes might make me laugh.

"Trump has no legal authority to..." and "Trump should not be able to..." and "This action will surely be found to be illegal..."

Gunna be prettttty tough to get me to click onto a libsky post, but I'll give it a gander.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

I decided to follow her. I love MS NOW lib slop. I think at its best - it's primo.

The USA has quite literally been involved in a war every single day for the past 50 years. Not sure anything needs manufacturing.
