What about Indiana!? Holy smokes I never thought I’d see Indiana football mentioned in any discussion of possible college football Champions! Anybody think they can keep it up through the playoffs?

Some states, like Colorado, have removed qualified immunity for state claims.

This is my kind of immigrant.

I had to step away from the CivilRightsLawyer YT stream for a bit. It's too enraging. Just the same stuff repeating. Qualified Immunity needs to be changed somehow. I understand that a large chunk of cops are trying to do the right thing and removing protections dissuades good candidates but shit. The blatant violations need to harm the individual responsible versus the taxpayer.

Don't worry, it's perfectly OK to treat US citizens this way. The 4th Amendment is more of a suggestion than a rule. How much $$$ will this one cost us? Sounds like she's got a regular Johnny Cockran.

A lot of albeit slow submarines head across the Atlantic to Africa where less than respectable types transport it North to Europe. There may be some feigned indignation on European countries part about how these strikes are conducted but not a lot of real heartburn since it's less they have to contend with. Not to mention I'm sure we tip off LE on that side of the pond when we see things headed their way. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm274lmg7m1o

We signed the UNCLOS treaty but the Senate never ratified it..

Notice how they keep leaving the submarine out of the photo collections of released drone footage. Almost like they want to not acknowledge what that vessel would clearly have been because they can’t “allege ” it was a fishing boat. I stand by my assertion this has nothing to do with concerns about human rights and is a political big game hunt. Anybody that can put Hegseth’s scalp on the wall affords themselves the right to claim leadership of the party, and Kelly knows it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For all you guys with liberal friends asking you to remember your oath, and these boats. Tell them to Google 10 USC 124, 14 USC 522, 14 USC 526, the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act (MDLEA), and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seas (UNCLOS) and tell them to never miss an opportunity to STFU.

Perhaps the question is really like this, when the new tile pops up OR what @Lawman wrote... Secondary, legit question: how many would pick the burning tile if asked if that boat was destroyed? Like a crowdsource morality poll

Some boat guys owe a couple of aviators beer for life.

Yup. Like I said above. Theatre for political points.

Takeaway - never trust Red Crown, avoid as far as tactically feasible.

The fact that none of those Congressional members came out of the meeting and demanded the resignation of the targeting authority that committed the engagement was telling of this being little more than a political witch hunt. They want Hegseth to resign, and they want to have the fight in the court of public opinion only because they know it doesn’t actually meet the criticism that’s been levied out of “sources.” Democratic critics will happily use the term “war crime” and water down its meaning though just like they did racist and fascist for the convenience it provides to their argument.

I believe so, but then an updated AUMF was floated. Not sure where that all stands right now. @busdriver From what I can find it seems like WPA (president can take action against national security threats) was initially cited, but generally they’ve moved to citing the AUMF (which is a standard play this century). But yes, legal jiu jitsu. I think AUMF needs to be reined in, but it’s important the president retains authority granted in the WPA. Reagan was very against the WPA limitations as they relate to terrorists, and I do agree to an extent. Maybe the right answer is don’t kill the AUMF, but do update it.

Drones sighted over Ireland allegedly targeting Zelenskyy’s aircraft during his visit.

Wasn't the AUMF suggested to be removed this year? Sen. Kaine sponsored for AUMF revocation in 2023.

Also going to MFS mid Jan. Hope to see y'all there!

No worries, just part of an actual conversation. As much my fault for not being more clear. I think the broad and never ending application of AUMF is the root cause of the "problem" (for that side of the argument). As far as War Powers, my understanding is the admin is operating under the theory that it does not apply. I've read somewhere that the legal logic being used is the cartels writ large are fighting allies (Mexico) and therefore they're all terrorists. Executive branch legal Jiu-Jitsu like this certainly isn't new. I keep hoping that congress will eventually put their big boy pants back on and take power back from the executive...... I may be naive.

Sounds like you have exactly what I didn’t know I had until I went to WP. The eye doc there was not very hopeful for any sort of waiver. Although a private eye doc said I could fix this with some eye exercises. I would visit an eye doctor prior to WP to see how many diopters you are off as this is most likely the deciding factor for any sort of waiver. I am currently sitting on a DQ FC1 hopping for a waiver or retest at least.

One heck of a cruise for the Gettysburg and Truman Task & PurposeNavy releases investigation on 3 lost planes, including o...One of the planes was accidentally shot down by the cruiser USS Gettysburg, which also fired on another Super Hornet.
