Liz Cheney is not an enemy combatant. If this is Trump's definition of one, that as an authoritarian any dissent to his will is considered treason, then he'll still need to change the rules of military tribunals to allow prosecution of non-combatant civilians. In case anyone hasn't read it, Wikipedia has a page on Military tribunals in the United States - Wikipedia

It's curious Trump seems to believe that mere political dissent equates to enemy combat and physical violence. Imagine what he must think about Jan 6 that he has been keeping to himself. Can anyone say "project"?

He's saying he must be given a military tribunal as an enemy combatant?

At some point in time people are going to be killed.

I think the immunity ruling of yesterday ended the U.S.'s checks and balances against a King, Monarch, or in more modern terms, the Unitary Executive. Overturning Roe Vs. Wade was the Judicial Branch warning shot.

I predict that in the future the U.S. will have a new revolution, but it'll probably be at least a century away. "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

You go get 'em, AOC. Personally, I'd like to see the Declaration of Independence rewritten so that it doesn't give this false impression about our form of government and kings.

And the victims minimum ages would be about 50. Better late than never, I guess.

Laws are only for little people.

...“The ACLU believes that if St. Isidore’s was a private school, it would have been able to impose its own rules on students and staff, but public schools can’t and must obey anti-discrimination laws covering hiring and admissions.”

It's too bad that private schools can legally supply a curriculum to kids which fulfills compulsory requirements. So much harm has been done to some kids in those schools.

Hu Youping, 54, was stabbed multiple times while trying to restrain an attacker at a school bus stop in China’s eastern city of Suzhou on Monday. She died in hospital two days later.

I don't pretend to understand the politics of the extremists, but Hu Youping is a hero. RIP.

Sorry to read that. How dare you sun yourself as nature intended. /s

Perhaps they should consider retrofitting with higher-lift rotors, or replacing the helicopters with higher lift models. Just a thought.

Christian school expelled girl after rainbow birthday photo Such a fabulous example of Christian forgiveness!

... religious right leaning conservative democrat ...

Um, no. Biden is pretty solidly in the center, his record is a mix of left and right positions, and his positions have evolved as he's aged. I do believe he's religious, but he is not trying to force his religious beliefs on us like some states are currently doing with the 10 commandments bullshit.

That's not Republican Jesus!

Ultimately, the Carbon Tracker analysts conclude, policymakers must decide between developing new, rigorous alternatives, or sending the bill to taxpayers by default. That will likely involve compelling resource-rich firms to start setting aside savings from their profits now.

Workers have taxes withheld from their paychecks. Seems fair a similar mechanism should exist for oil profits to fund orphaned-well cleanups. But -- we really need to transition away from fossil fuel entirely! Does this create a motive for the government to insure a company or two are profitable enough to subsidize all the poorer companies cleanup costs, therefore motivating increased use of fossil fuels?

How do we address the alphabet mafia? You know, the LGBTQRSTD. ...

STD? Maybe she thinks Gomorrah is a venereal disease?
