To him any south American is a cartel member anyway.
I wouldn’t call it a war crime because there’s no war in which the crime was committed. It’s just plain state sponsored murder.
When Mohammed bin Salman ordered the death of Jamal Khashoggi, I didn’t think of that as a war crime, either. Just a simple case of state sponsored murder.
For a politician to openly say he doesn’t give a shit is a very dangerous sign.
An elected official speaking like this to the public means they’ve completely lost their fear of repercussions. They’ve lost their fear of public backlash, of public perception. They’ve lost their fear of being voted out.
It means that in his mind there’s nothing to fear. He thinks he’s untouchable. He’s above you and everything you think and do. He’s your ruler and you’re his subject.
It means he’s no longer afraid of you having a democracy.
Unfortunately their Republican supporters does not seem to give a shit, scandal after scandal. So he’s right.
The opposite. Now, people can’t pretend to not know about scummy politicians
Having a whot?
I keep saying this and people don’t want to listen. These idiots believe in the rapture, and they think all these things happening are the prelude to that.
I am not kidding, they’re serious about this. Who cares what real world events are happening, they’re sure the Israel situation is happening because Jesus is going to come back any day, and they’re happy to kill us all because it’s worth it.
I hate so much that the most idiotic among us have any power whatsoever.
I sometimes dream about a system in which everyone still gets to vote, but depending on how you score on a test that tests for both knowledge, empathy and intelligence, your vote is counted higher, while those that score lower have theirs weighted less. Politicians are tested as well, and if it is evident that they have too many traits of sociopaths, they are disqualified.
Eh. We don’t need to restrict people’s voting, we just need to start valuing empathy as a society. It’s really both that simple and impossible.
We need to make it impossible to not link JD Vance to his “empathy is toxic” movement that he promoted, and then make it the thing that’s just too embarrassing (or bad for business) to even risk associating with. Which honestly why shouldn’t it be?
Think of the fucking horrific images out of Gaza. This is what is allowed to happen when empathy is toxic. When you see those images, you should also be thinking of the shit eating grins of JD Vance and Peter Thiel, looking way too comfortable hiding behind their “Christian” values while promoting that empathy is toxic bullshit.
And vice versa, it should be impossible to see their faces or the faces of their supporters without automatically thinking of those images. How many history lesson do we really need to remind us how genocide always happens? Those awful fucking images are the past, present, and future, when empathy is toxic.
I agree. The problem, I think, is also not so much that the idiots have power, but the cruelest do.
Not that it would justify it but is there any evidence whatsoever that these people were cartel members?
The world will likely never know for a few years. Just like those innocent North Korean fishermen wiped off the face of this planet because they used flashlights to see.
I didn’t hear about that one.
They’re probably referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Amami-Ōshima
Which turned out to be a North Korean spy boat camouflaged as a fishing boat
It’s very shortsighted for leaders to be pro anything that doesn’t have due process.
If this regime doesn’t keep power forever the next regime can just disappear him and his family and just paste his response saying he doesn’t give a shit about due process when someone asks what happened to them.
I was actually thinking about mob justice vs due process yesterday, and how it applies to the most despicable individuals.
On the one hand, mob justice often provides a sense of that guy definitely got what he deserved. But on the other, news about what happened to Mussolini’s body was allegedly what preceded Hitler’s decision to kill himself.
If history had been allowed to witness the two (not to mention Himmler) truly brought to justice on a world stage, could it have potentially decreased the chances others would feel emboldened enough to follow in their footsteps?

I highly doubt it. Power thirsty assholes won’t be stopped so easily.
Well lets get on that. I presume they will disappear them to someplace nice, and Vance looks like he could use a long vaca.
Well I don’t give a shit if he gets Luigi’d
I never did, even before he jumped on the coattails of the obese orange paedo.
On the positive side, his appearance and meandering uselessness did give us quite a few memes and laughs on the way.
I don’t give a shit if Vance catches a stray
cat. Sorry, posted before I finished the sentence. Definitely meant a stray cat.
I get a real sense this is exactly the kind of guy that is abusive to animals. Cat is better off feral.
What if it’s a really big cat? Maybe something with a mane?
These Nazis need to learn the meaning of due process, like those other Nazis. Enjoy your time of freedom couch fucker. No couches in prison.
Nothing new for the conservatives; this is just another one of their public figures now saying what they have been saying for decade upon decade behind closed doors.
This is exactly what the conservative movement is about. Rules? Those don’t apply to US!
I also don’t give a shit what people think.
It is a war crime. Nothing to debate about
Cool, our employee doesn’t care how we feel.
Fire him. Out of a cannon. Towards a sewage pit.
impeach them allSo… If a civil war breaks out can we drop mustard and sarin gas on this fuckwads?
