I meant legal right, as that was the topic of one of those maniacal GOP tweets

Bullshit. You don't have any friends from South America. Why do you people lie all the time?

So Zen, does it count as an attack if he's keeping 30 million barrels of oil?

And also a big difference between invading Poland and merely attacking a naval fleet in port, but both qualified as war.

No, Democrats are not okay with breaking international law. That's precisely why Biden wanted to end Remain in Mexico. It was illegal under US and international law. The Democrats want to respect our free trade commitments precisely because they were commitments; the GOP doesn't give a...

Of course there would be disapproval. That's why Obama and Biden didn't do it. The world is a much more dangerous place, not a safer place. How do you not understand that? Trump has his eye on Greenland. Well, Denmark and Europe don't want to give it up. Russia might be interested...

It's not a bad argument. It's clearly wrong. Police actions are necessarily and definitionally jurisdictional. That is why New York cannot arrest someone in Florida; it has no jurisdiction. The way to get people from where they are to where they will be tried is extradition. If this is a...

There is no such thing as "right" independent of a legal system. What they had was a right under Venezuelan law. The Venezuelan law was changed, so their rights disappeared. The remedy for that is not military action. You best hope not: there are Chinese nationals that had the right to...

Wrong. Lifelong conservative David French puts it well in his column today. You can't turn an invasion into a police action just by carrying an indictment. If you could, there would never be war.

This is what initially created MAGA. Tons of people had been calling for a border wall; that wasn't new. What was new was "Mexico will pay." It's basically rapist logic: we are going to give you the middle finger, and you're going to pay us for it whether you like it or not. I think it will...

That might be true. I wouldn't know.

Is this a dig at the Patriots front office? Because what you're actually saying is that nobody in the NFL thought much of him.

Of course Calla agrees with the "ambassador." It's bullshit and mathematically impossible unless the largest energy reserves belong to a country that is universally popular. Across multiple contexts, this man has demonstrated no understanding of basic arithmetic. Timeouts, rates as opposed...

One sure fire win makes 2-10 almost impossible. 3-9 remains unlikely. If we are uniformly 20% chance to win each of the 11 non-ETSU games, we'd be about even odds to get to 4 wins. Let's say ND is a guaranteed loss. IF we are at least 40% in two games; 33% in another 4 and 10-15% for the...

Colombia is an enemy of the United States? Cute how Ted Cruz slipped that in. Also, Xi isn't fucking scared of Trump at all. Rather, the other way around.
