Diplomatic backchannels are an idea that Trump is fundamentally unable to comprehend.

An administration full of cluster B personality traits and backbiting, name a more classic combination.

The key point is MoCo public schools won’t let them skip just that class(which obviously they don’t really have the staff to do regularly). It’s pretty amusing. Frederick county would revolt if this happened.

Believe it or not, the nebulous nature of the department actually is what makes them more likely to have qualified immunity because their role hasn’t been “clearly established” by case law. You couldn’t even talk say what “actions as a part of their duties” are. I’m not a fan of qualified immunity.

As far as suing the government over what DOGE does, good luck figuring out where an agency deputized by executive order fits in here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Tort_Claims_Act

Civil cases against government officers are however subject to qualified immunity while ones against the government are subject to sovereign immunity.

Since the last execution in New Hampshire was a botched hanging in 1939 that took 6 minutes for the guy to die, I kind of doubt the court would allow them to go through with that.

Shadows of Eichmann.

“Whether they were bank directors or mental cases, the people who were loaded on those trains meant nothing to me. It was really none of my business.”

He’s not going to wait even 90 days before he starts playing this game again. It’ll only take until he sees himself being portrayed as weak for backing off on some fucking cable news opinion spot. I don’t even give it a week.

You’ll be hard pressed to find lawyers who are both competent and willing to directly lie to a judge.

Exactly. It seems people really need it spelled out to them: he’s saying protectionism works in the long term but they’re old and will all be dead(a keynes quote “The long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead”). He’s wrong though. Protectionism, which are essentially self sanctions, can develop an industry as much as not. Nothing’s a vacuum.

How likely do you think it is that he’ll actually return to the UK to face charges? Or that Trump still extradite him?

Here at Lemmy we’ll deliver fucking idiots right to your computer.
