You seem confused. Trump's social media obsessed administration wants "reporters" or whatever better word describes the feckless repeater stations of conservative drivel (propaganda human centipedes?). They just don't want real journalists doing real journalism because the press can be a check on undemocratic authoritarian power when they actually do their job.
That you pretend reporters were just roaming secure facilities just shows you have no critical analysis skills and you dutifully swallow the centipede excrement like a good repeater station.
Now I want to see Judge Dredd, but it's all civil lawsuits that he decides himself. "You defamed me! Ten thousand dollars! Also, you're going to jail."
I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
The conclusion of the best intelligence operation on the planet are not “hunches” just cuz you happen not to like it.
This is both an argument to authority and an argument from ignorance. You are assuming that because the intelligence community in the US has access to more information than you that they're also telling the truth about it or are trustworthy not to make decisions based on that access for illegitimate reasons. Billionaire donors with stock in defense companies definitely have nothing to gain from making up reasons to spend taxpayer money on more military funding, right?
It is actually an act of war. It’s not murder, just war.
Legally, it's not a declared war. But the stated, unproven excuses for the strikes are criminal acts, not acts of war, so fighting a war wouldn't be the legal or appropriate response.
If you allege criminal acts, you detain suspects and bring them to trial while providing them with due process. You don't just smite them from the skies and pat yourself on the back. That is actually murder.
And even when it's a legal war, it can still be called murder and a war crime. Killing people who don't have the ability to defend themselves, who aren't armed combatants, who have already been injured, is a war crime and is murder.
Venezuela could decide that means we’re at war with THEM, rather than the cartels, but that would probably be inadvisable.
"My wife could decide that means I'm at war with her when I slap her around for disobeying my every whim, but that would probably be inadvisable."
You're speaking the language of an abuser. I'm sure your family loves your company.
I do love your impotent tantrums, tho.
You come here and spew nonsense you're not getting paid to spew while billionaires profit from your blind allegiance to their quarterly profit reports. At best, you're just getting a fleeting dopamine hit with a high decay rate.
"I sure told them [r-words], didn't I? Heh,"
you, shitting yourself in an old folks home where your no contact kids dumped you, desperate to remember what good you did in your life
Why does it feel like every time you come here, you’re angrier about defending and justifying Trump than everyone else is about attacking him?
I'm picturing him pounding the keys hard enough that he has a bunch of replacement keyboard caps in a nearby bag like Scrabble tiles ready to replace the ones he breaks. The only reason the frothing rage post isn't in all caps is that he broke the caps lock and holding shift down while typing every letter is too hard for him.
He also has a really bland portrait of Trump in a fake gold foil frame to which he prefaces his furious typing, "don't worry, sir, I'll defend your honor!"
The ostensible rationale cops state for shooting people running away with weapons is that they could use those weapons against innocent bystanders somewhere else, but that is contradicted by the pattern of cops not caring if they accidentally shoot and/or kill innocent bystanders themselves and the various local and state governments arguing in court that cops shouldn't held liable for said killing of innocent bystanders.
The logic also doesn't work because an unarmed escapee could easily find a weapon if they were intent on killing random people, so cops would arguably by that standard be justified in just killing anyone on the chance they might harm someone in the future. And my immediate next thought is, "don't give them ideas," but I'm also confident they've already thought of this.
If you have a gun in your hand and are in any sort of conflict with a cop then yes, you are a threat and are highly likely to get shot.
That's an excuse a cop tells you to justify shooting a person in the back. It's also the same that a cop will tell you if you're wielding an airsoft gun or a phone or any random object or just have your hands in your pockets. Police propaganda isn't reality. It's post hoc justification for abuses.
Don’t try to run them over, either.
Sure, what about trying to turn the wheel away from them and get away from a cop trying to make up an excuse to murder you?
The races are also unimportant, and you are racist for thinking it is.
Except the races are important if the cops disproportionately target, assault, and kill people of color and their communities. The bias and racism of the cops can be very fucking important. This is quite the accusation-confession that you've declared other people racist for thinking that cops are statistically racist in their biases.
"If we’re going to go into legal terms war casualties aren’t murdered if the actions were necessary and proportionate to the military goal. That doesn’t mean I approve of causing war casualties."
— literally you, verbatim
Wheres the delusion?
You literally argued the semantics of whether the murder of the children in Iran could be considered murder if you consider us to be in a state of war. There's no debate there to be had. Dog forbid anyone have pattern recognition or hold you accountable for things you've actually said.
I don’t want to get sent to one of RFK Jr.’s “wellness farms” because people like you preached non-violent protest all the way up until they start really rounding people up.
Holy misdirected outrage, Batman!
Yes, it will definitely be Stephen's fault for making comments on a random website instead of the fault of...you know...the actual fascists doing actual fascism!
Read up on the Spanish Civil War, specifically about how the Republicans (as in Spanish Republic centrists, not GOP style conservatives) and those further left (anarcho-syndicalists, communists, etc.) ended up in-fighting to the benefit of the fascists. Foreign support from Nazi Germany and fascist Italy helped the fascists significantly, but strangling the guy next to you because he's not extreme enough for your preferences is the real suicidal act you're embracing here.
There are more homegrown terrorists than foreign born terrorists in the US. There are more white male US born terrorists in the US than any other demographic. But sure, let your racist confirmation bias run wild.
After the questions about him hurting the feelings of the delicate law enforcement officers, I was half expecting the lawyer to go mask off out of exhaustion and ask, "do you recognize that as people in positions of power and privilege, they're not used to being questioned or made to feel bad for the the abuses of their power?"
Nothing says you're confident your religion is right by having to vigilantly lash out at anyone who questions your dogma. If Jehovah existed and witnessed this shit, she'd probably be upset.
Remember all the times conservatives (including some of the commenters here) have wrung their hands about the awfully imminent civil war in this country where they're just itching to murder people...okay, sorry, I've been informed that it's not "murder" if you unjustifiably kill people during an undeclared war...who they disagree with, because it's expedient compared to having to convince anyone that your positions are good, right, or morally superior?
That's the administration's approach. It's more expedient to just murder people in boats. It's more expedient (and costly) to just attack Iran without an imminent threat (Gabbard just confirmed this in testimony again). It's more expedient to just burn the Constitution, bust down the door without a warrant, and seize anyone that looks Latino or "foreign" because "they all got to go," even if they're here legally or even a goddamn US citizen.
It all just reminds me of the cop who shot and killed the kid who was having a mental health crisis within a few seconds of arriving while stating, "we don't have time for this."
It's funny how you play with semantic like it's a get-out-of-morality-free card, but then you go and abuse a perfectly good term like troll to describe a person calling you out on your disingenuous bullshit. Feel free to point out where my statement was inaccurate.
A Guy was nitpicking the term murder as applied to the deaths of school children in Iran because he thinks being at "war" means it's okay to kill innocent people and it's just "war casualties." Aside from the fact that he's apparently never heard of the My Lai massacre, he apparently also thinks you can play semantic games to get out of moral responsibility.
Junior should check the schedule. There might be a bus coming and he might be under it soon.

Trump inflation: unnecessary tariffs and unnecessary gas price hikes due to unnecessary "military operations" with unnecessary civilian murders
I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
Do you have a chip in your head that sends you electric shocks if you possibly think that maybe a civilian death in war is a bad thing?
