Ok,so now what?UN says Trump Blackwater pardons violate international law
BY JOHN BOWDEN - 12/30/20 09:51 AM EST
A United Nations panel on Wednesday said that President Trump's pardons for several former Blackwater contractors convicted of killing more than a dozen civilians in Baghdad violated international law.
Reuters reported that the U.N. working group on the use of mercenaries condemned the action in a statement, calling Trump's decision to pardon the four men an affront to justice and insult to the memory of those killed.
"Pardoning the Blackwater contractors is an affront to justice and to the victims of the Nisour Square massacre and their families,” said the group's chair, Jelena Aparac, according to the news agency.
“These pardons violate U.S. obligations under international law and more broadly undermine humanitarian law and human rights at a global level," Aparac continued.
Trump last week moved to pardon the four men along with a handful of former GOP congressmen and a number of loyalists close to his 2016 campaign.
The pardons for the former Blackwater contractors were met with sharp criticism from Gen. David Petraeus and Ryan Crocker, the top American officials in charge of U.S. policy in Iraq at the time of the 2007 killings, who called it “hugely damaging, an action that tells the world that Americans abroad can commit the most heinous crimes with impunity” in a joint statement obtained by Reuters.
Now known as Academi, the private security services company faced heavy criticism over the 2007 incident and lost its license to operate in Iraq from the country's government as a result. The company also faced accusations of other human rights abuses as a result of the WikiLeaks release of thousands of documents related to the Iraq War in 2010.

I suspect they’re going to go after the kids first. Get an open and shut cases against his kids to get him to plead out. He’s not going to do it. He’s going to let them sit in jail.
So Trump, and family may possibly end up in jail. Yet even though he pardon multiple guilty associates, those associates won't be able to return the favor.
"Thanks...sucker!"

Why is Melania Trump so anxious to leave the White House? She is already packing.
It might have something to do with the several indictments they are facing in NY State, DC, NY city, the southern district of NY, Manhattan, Michigan, California and Virginia, but definitely this got her shaken up, do you remember this tapes?
No, it’s not the content of this tape that got her worried, she could care less what the evangelicals think of them, because she knows that their support is bought:
The fact is that her former best friend and inauguration manager started taping their conversations, after a friend warned her and her husband that the trump family were embezzling millions from the campaign and inauguration fund, and were attempting to frame her and her husband for it since finding out that the fbi were investigating the operation! Two years later these tapes proved to the fbi that they had nothing to do with it, that actually the trumps didn’t even pay her and her husband the 26 million owed to them, and now the Evangelicals and the Maga’s “FLOTUS” is facing the indictment of embezzling over 107 million dollars into her personal account:
She let it be known that she would like to go back to Slovenia, and it’s probably because of this:
And NY just passed this law:
And there are at least another 5 AGs waiting the crooks as soon as they leave the white house with dozens of more indictments! Gitty up Donny, karma is here! Good thing you aren’t a racist right?
How pathetic this whole corrupt idiotic trashy family are! Good job maga! You sure pick them right, good thing crooked Hillary wasn’t elected! Right?

"On Tuesday, Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen suggested that the allies Trump has pardoned could ultimately become his downfall, as they could testify against him and would be unable to invoke the Fifth Amendment.
In an interview on MSNBC, Cohen said, "Once you get that pardon, you're no longer able to invoke the Fifth Amendment ... because you cannot be charged. All of these people may ultimately be his downfall simply because they'll be testifying against him."

This argument by Mitch makes no sense. What about when the first $1200 was sent out? Government hasn't changed between now and then. It was borrowed money then and will be now. Simply put Mitch is singlehandedly breaking Americans' will and probably would get away with it.
Democrats' rich friends like Kanye, Joel Osteen, David Green etc...

GOP Sen. Ben Sasse slams Republicans who plan to delay certification of Joe Biden's win
GOP Sen. Ben Sasse wrote on Facebook Wednesday night that he has been urging his Republican colleagues to "reject" objecting the certification process of the Electoral College and President-elect Joe Biden's victory, adding that talk of objecting the process is a "dangerous ploy."

Who left the door to the psych ward unlocked and gave a certain person a phone? The united States used to be the country of the greats....
Reminds me of story Jane Coaston wrote for Vox. She was the editor at the conservative newspaper at University of Michigan, one of the top schools in America. The newspaper was well-funded and paid for her to travel to different conservative conferences where academics would talk about traditional conservative issues like free trade and markets. But whenever she would sit and talk to her fellow students, the topic wasn't about those issues but whether or not President Obama was a citizen and people on welfare. I thought, like she did, this is U of M, the future Marco Rubio's and Ted Cruz's and they believe this dumb shit.GOP Sen.

The point being, people will look at Hawley and say it's just a political move but he may really believe this shit.
One thing that's been made crystal clear over the last 12 years is that the US education system is trash... critical thinking skills aren't a thing. Cacs are blinded by their racism.
People across the spectrum will believe damn near anything on the internet
A random quote on IG/FB attributed to person X is as valid as the AP for too many. These deep fakes are really going to fuck shit up... you KNOW republicans will be putting them to use

The question I ask is "are they just stupid and benefited from privilege or were they smart and then racism made them stupid". What made them irrational thinkers?One thing that's been made crystal clear over the last 12 years is that the US education system is trash... critical thinking skills aren't a thing.

No they know exactly what they are doing! They are all WHOLLY united under the banner of white supremacy and the knowledge that their time is coming to an end.
Math, science and genetics are all working against them and they know this. Birth numbers are crap. their dying off and see no future for the defective spawns they are able to produce on occasion. so their ultimate solution if they cant win is to follow a scortched earth policy.
I checked in on a right wing site and they are basically resigned to the fact that, if trump isn't re-elected thru their criminal and unconstitutional shenanigans, they are ready and willing to destroy this country and 'burn it to the ground.'
If they cant rule and enforce their white supremacy than let it be destroyed!
The liberal democrats white washed veresion of white supremacy not good enough for them (especially after enjoying 4 years of Trump' no filter white supremacy.)

I agree wholeheartedly. But I find myself sometimes looking at someone with "credentials" and wondering "Is this motherfucker is just stupid and or is it racism". Often times, I think it's both. That person only moved up in the meritocracy because it was excluded to 50% of the population. They're not as smart as their "credentials" would lead me to believe.
I think that's the problem in the next shell. When they look at someone of color in a high position, they think that should have been filled by a white person because that's the way it's always been. The truth is that position was only filled by a white man because that's all that was considered at the time.
Call me a sentimentalist because I really don't want to think that poorly of people but I have to believe what my eyes and ears tell me. It's that old Baldwin quote "I can't believe what you say because I see what you do." I finally came to the conclusion a couple of years ago, we can't live together. They'll never overcome the desire for white supremacy, American apartheid.
My best friend told me I spend too much time trying to figure those people out, "it is what it is".
Pence asks judge to toss GOP lawmaker's bid to overturn election results
BY JOHN KRUZEL - 12/31/20 05:49 PM EST
Vice President Pence on Thursday asked a federal judge to reject a bid by Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and other Republicans to broaden Pence’s powers in a manner that would effectively allow him to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral win.
The lawsuit, filed earlier this week, seeks to expand Pence’s role in an upcoming Jan. 6 meeting of Congress to count states’ electoral votes and finalize Biden’s victory over President Trump.
But in a Thursday brief to Texas-based U.S. District Judge Jeremy Kernodle, a Trump appointee, Pence said he was not a proper defendant to the suit.
“A suit to establish that the Vice President has discretion over the count, filed against the Vice President, is a walking legal contradiction,” a Department of Justice attorney representing Pence wrote in the filing.
Typically, the vice president’s role in presiding over the Jan. 6 meeting is a largely ceremonial one governed by an 1887 federal law known as the Electoral Count Act.
But the Republican lawsuit seeks to invalidate the law as an unconstitutional constraint on the vice president's authority to choose among competing claims of victory when state-level election results are disputed.
Republicans in several key battleground states have disputed Biden's win and offered alternate "slates" of pro-Trump electors to be counted on Jan. 6, but experts say these efforts carry no legal weight.

it took almost 50 years since the war of 1812 ...90 from the Declaration of Independance for the factions to become so despised and mistrustful of one another that they came to arms
