Peter GleickOf course he's committing war crimes. He's been committing domestic crimes over and over again and facing no consequences. Why should he balk at committing war crimes?
bencourtice@petergleick he and his predecessor have been directly aiding & abetting war crimes for a number of years too
muddle@bencourtice @petergleick so, the equivocation fallacy, yes? "They're all equally bad?"
@muddle @petergleick If you're into logic you should be able to recognize the argument you've just made as a straw figure falllacy (specifically, attributing to me statements I didn't actually make)
@bencourtice @petergleick so you're denying that you're treating Trump and his predecessors as equals?
@bencourtice what straw man am I conjuring up for you?
@bencourtice I can Iron man it for you if you give me something to work with.
Marc "ACAB" Godin@muddle "I have been unfailingly polite and you have been nothing but rude" <-- that's you, buddy.
@petergleick "Why should he balk at committing war crimes?"
Because he's a bully. Like all bullies, he only escalates if he thinks he can get away with it. This is his constant calculation. He learns when and where there is pushback and he avoids similar situations because he fears being exposed. At the same time, he always attacking what he thinks are the easiest targets. When he succeeds in gaining a capitulation, he feels validated.
On the other hand, when we push back, we expose his weakness and the essential hollowness of him and his threats. He might trial (as all trolls do) pushing against the boundaries, but in the end we all know (as does he, deep down) that he will back down in the face of real opposition.

SeaHe's also part of a long line of war criminal presidents.
Veto power at the UN means the USA gets to murder whoever they want. Rules only exist for the oppressed.
The Epstein class owns you as long as you participate in their system.
If we don't shrug the yoke together, and soon, we are going to pay for it.
Plant food forests, please. We need them for food, habitat, and climate regulation.
Havyhh2@petergleick ...every day is just another swift kick in the b*lls reminder of how epically wrong the MAGA-SCOTUS anti-American conspirators were with their ruling, without explanation or logic, of Presidential immunity. Unbridled evil moron can act without any possibility of consequences.
gluttoAt this point I'm not sure exactly who you're talking about anymore. That could apply to several different people.
@petergleick
Not the first American President to commit war crimes, but the most brazen in not lying about them.
