                Cue*

                Edit: unless he’s talking about actually lining up multiple drone strikes, in which case queue is correct. Cue is used to indicate the start of something (from theater).

      According to the supreme court, only if we handle it ourselves. That’s not quite how they worded it, but I gather that was the ultimate result.

      If actual leftist take power these fascist will be held responsible for more than that.

      Unfortunately, it looks like we’re headed towards another liberal 4 years followed by an actual fascist with ideology and intelligence in the form of Tucker Carlson. Hell, if the midterms are bad we might even skip the 4 years of failed liberal rule.

    Puppy killer Kristi Noem

    is seeking emergency approval to demolish 13 historic buildings at the historic federal campus St. Elizabeths, established by Congress in 1855 and originally called the “Government Hospital for the Insane,” the newspaper reported Tuesday.

    Noem said that the buildings constituted “a present risk to life and property” given that the buildings sit on the DHS’ West Campus complex, and that their vacancy could be used by “individuals seeking to cause harm to personnel,” including those seeking to carry out “active shooter scenarios.”

    I think he figures if he tears down a historic hospital for the mentally ill, they can’t ever put him in it.

    Probably have a Trump statue built in all of these locations.

      The leading cause of death for Roman Emperors, and most rulers throughout history, was violent death, primarily assassination or execution, followed by suicide…

      You know, maybe we should consider this option more thoroughly.
