You are mistaken - because literally the ONLY PERSON IN THE COUNTRY who can declassify documents at will is the President. Trump says he declassified them - and therefore no crime was committed.
Regardless if you think it's convenient or not, Adam Schiff has no such constitutional power. None.
Regardless if you think Trump needs to go through some convoluted "process" to declassify and, therefore, he violated the "law", there's no ruling on such a thing. Nothing in the Constitution says that the President is constrained by any specific process to declassify. A process was implemented but that doesn't top the Constitution - any laws to the contrary may very well be unconstitutional.
So before you start claiming "what about Trump", know your Constitutional law and realize Adam Schiff had a legal responsibility NOT to disclose and Trump, as the Chief Executive, has unique powers Schiff does not.
Repost all you want race-baiter. George Floyd was restrained using a technique taught to those officers - therefore applying the technique was not racist. The officer applying the technique could have been of any ethnicity or gender.
If the technique caused Floyd's death, the police department is at fault for teaching and recommending it - but the officer is not racist for using it and did not deserve to be thrown under the bus by police officials for doing so.
Now then... the gentleman in Britain was not high on drugs, not resisting, actively asking for help, and was ignored because of his race.
These are not remotely the same thing. Take your false equivalency elsewhere. Serious people know the difference and you, clearly, are not one of them.
What's absurd is that you believe those troops do nothing for Germany or Europe. Your opinion seems to be that this is one-sided and the United States should be 'lucky' to have a base in Germany at all!
Germany has not pulled its weight with NATO and they steadfastly refuse to take steps to secure their own energy needs. France is now similar.
If the EU is so mighty, they can pay to defend themselves. We can create bases in more hospitable countries.
Germany will be the net loser here.
The globalist opinion that the US cannot survive without NATO is comical. It's like saying a car won't be able to drive without a spare tire in the trunk.... a ridiculous notion.
Europe has not paid for its own defense in over 50 years. They've relied on the US to handle the heavy lifting while spending their money building socialist utopias safe in the knowledge if they're attacked, they can rely on their NATO allies to save them.
Alysia - respectfully, you only hold this opinion because you are not deeply embedded into the science, funding, flawed models, or criticisms of the climate change lobby.
If you were, you would, at minimum, admit the science is not settled.
Either you are a casual observer regurgitating what you've heard in school or in media, or you're involved in effort to discredit valid criticisms.
Most people aren't that involved and have no first-hand knowledge.
Instead of throwing shade at Don, Jr. because it makes you feel good to 'stick it' to someone you disagree with, you should choose your battles more carefully.
One day in about 30 years you're going to look back and feel awfully foolish for defending fraudulent science.
@DefiantLs Blocked.
I don't tolerate assholes who think this meme is anything but idiotic. From the stupid premise to "times it by three"...
Fuck yourself.
@allenanalysis Or... she's being referred because she LIED and used the "WhistleBlower" cover story to shield herself from criticism.
Just because you WANT her story to be true doesn't make it true - nor does it make her a hero.
Okay so you have NO PROOF of your assertions at all. I'm willing to wait for more evidence of Kelly and Omar's involvement before passing judgement but you're not even doing that.
Mark Kelly is an asshole. Going to space or having a military career doesn't make you a hero. Kelly is well-known to be cold and not very nice. I don't like my heroes as aloof assholes with a "little man" complex.
I hope he wouldn't do anything like this but let's wait to make a decision until all the evidence is in
I concur with your point.
However, to be fair, belief in any religion (in general) triggers some people to place themselves at the top of a hierarchy where they're better than others.
It happens with Christians all the time. I've seen Jewish people do it, too. Never seen a Buddist get on the high-horse though.
In a non-religious context:
Vegans do it.
College grads, too.
Animal rights people as well.
Most liberals, actually.
People have become OBSESSED with jostling for social/moral/religious superiority while excusing bad behavior as "justified" and shitting on anyone believing differently.
It's a cancer of the mind in my opinion.
@John88Cache@RapidResponse47 Cry cry.
You only think you know what will happen. Yes, armchair X warrior from mommy's basement, you are the wise one.
Or, maybe give it the two weeks and see what happens before shitting your pants and announcing it to the world.
@juliettekayyem The typical peaceful liberal/progressive... SLASH TIRES,DRAIN GAS, JAIL those who disagree!
And then when caught, twist yourself into knots trying to make it sound like you weren't promoting vigilante tactics.
So you expected Law Enforcement to damage property - in retaliation?
@Barry_Yul @newsmax Demonstrably NOT better than Trump.
Dream on, lib. If you want to fall for the spin, go right ahead. But the rest of us know the score.
Biden is failing miserably - which is expected because he had no ideas to begin with other than "I'll do better than Trump!"
