US Politics

these kinds of cases

There aren't any analogous cases. It's an unusual situation. But if you're hoping for criminal prosecutions, prepare to be disappointed.

Trump also told Fox of his request for the return of remains of “probably 7,500” US soldiers killed in the Korean war, which he claimed was already producing results. He said again that “parents” of such soldiers had asked him to get the remains of their sons back.

The Korean war took place between 1950 and 1953, which would make the survival of any parents of soldiers killed in the war highly unlikely.

if trump is going to make pals with all the nutters - who is he going to wage
(the compulsory) war with?

Canada.

Cheese-eating surrender monkeys?

Combining both answers into; French Canadians.

Mexico, to make them build the wall.

I wonder what he's going to do with 5,000 immigrant children - are they going to keep them in concentration camps until 18, then move them into Federal prison as indentured labourers (AKA, slaves)?

Paul Manafort is going to jail, house arrest has been revoked

Mueller's team are spot on with Fridays being the day they act.
I guess Manafort is off to the US East Coast's equivalent to Ford Open prison rather than Washington's equivalent to Rikers?
(Apologies my knowledge of US prisons limited to Law&Order franchises and Oz).

Still not lunchtime and Michael Cohen could be up next

In his latest tweet, Trump also said “crime in Germany is way up”. In May, Germany’s interior ministry recorded the lowest crime levels since 1992.

I would love it if Angela Merkel demands a retraction and an apology.

Sometimes it's hard not to conclude Americans are a bit soft in the head. Some of them anyway..

not to conclude Americans are a bit soft in the head.

All 325 million?

edit: Didn't see the picture. You're talking about old white people then?

Pretty much, + tribal Republicans.

"Space Force"

The thing is, space force kind of already exists. There is a section of the US Navy called SPAWAR which is dedicated in part to being ready for potential space based threats. It's mostly theoretical and wargaming now days but the idea is that it is ready to develop physical defences to threats if actually needed.

I'm not clear what the difference between Space Force and SPAWAR will be. SPAWAR is quite highly regarded in academic circles .

Space Force comes with added political heft by being announced.

So Warhammer 40k then?

I'm not clear what the difference between Space Force and SPAWAR will be

SPAWAR wasn't announced to divert attention away from concentration camps and children in cages?

I did some work with a SPAWAR graduate last year. Think along the lines of genius intellect individual who is incredible at theoretical planning and strategy but is otherwise unable to integrate into "normal society" because of the depths of his personality disorders.

Almost exactly Warhammer 40k.

A bit like the forum, without the first bit.

what the genius intellect bit ?
surely not
