  1. To be fair, I don’t think the State Department was issuing visas to Chinese and Russian citizens to attend the rally. A lot of people wanted to go, but weren’t allowed into the country.

  2. Alec Baldwin’s actions on that day led to the accidental death of his coworker. I have no doubt about it. Whether his actions amounted to negligent manslaughter was a question I hoped a jury would decide. But the actions of the Special Prosecutor and her investigators (including the crime scene technician Poppel) are an attack on the principles of fairness, of impartial justice. The conduct of the Special Prosecutor was an attack on us all, and the only repair for that attack was a dismissal of the case. It is unfortunate that Baldwin’s guilt or innocence is unresolved, but the judge’s decision was just. It was necessary, or we don’t have a constitutional system of criminal justice.

  3. FBI investigates. DOJ prosecutes based on that evidence. DOJ has a standing order not to prosecute sitting presidents. The question is this: will his Mar a Lago alibi hold up or will he need to waste a pardon on himself? I’m pretty sure what I just wrote is laughable bullshit, but it makes more sense than your comment.

  4. I think this might become clearer when the warrant and receipt of property is unsealed. The DOJ has been negotiating to get documents returned. Safe speculation (but speculation nonetheless) is that they are classified documents improperly transported to Mar-a-GoGo and improperly retained at that address. It’s quite possible that the DOJ declines to prosecute for moving and keeping the documents. Improper or unlawful acts sometimes don’t rise to the level of criminality. I remember some years ago that a Secretary of State was improperly keeping official emails on a private server. After an investigation, the determination was that it was improper but not criminal. No harm, no foul. We should keep this in mind because this search of Trump’s residence might not yield any criminal prosecutions. While I personally think Trump has engaged in criminal acts, we must for the time being presume him innocent. He’s not above the law, but he’s not below the law, either. He has the same right to due process that anyone has in the U.S.A. Edit: out of fairness, I want to point out that it is only when Trump moves his mouth and sounds come out of it that he lies. Other sounds emitting from his body are not lies, nor are the associated smells. It’s theoretically possible that if Trump stopped making sounds with his mouth he would not be lying, but it’s hard to create conditions where this would be possible.

  5.  @RonJohn63  The other half of the story isn’t being told because 1) Russia can’t release any information that would reveal to its citizens the scope of the war, 2) Russia has banned a free and independent press inside its countries. Reporters, even foreign ones working for the foreign press, are subject to arrest if they contradict the official government line. There are journalists all over Ukraine right now, in areas that Russia doesn’t control. They often have to dodge Russian soldiers who shoot at them—identifying yourself as a member of the press apparently doesn’t protect you with the Russians.

  7.  @anatomicallycorrectmuppets8180  they found human tissue, and they don’t mean Kleenex. Take a bit of raw hamburger meat and throw it as hard as you can at a brick wall. That’s what they found.

  8. Many people thought that, but it’s not the case. Front line fighting was carried out by trained and experienced units. Conscripts were to be used on the flanks and as “back-fill”. But the casualties on the frontlines has been pretty high, and the dead were replaced by conscripts. Oh, and a lot of elite units were destroyed the first day trying to take airports. The reinforcements didn’t get there in time.

  9. Sanctions aren’t a deterrent, threat of sanctions are a deterrent. Maybe it’s time the Russian people start caring about what happens to them, if their leaders don’t care.

  10. Not after Stalin, but by 1929, Stalin was calling the shots and murdering people in the thousands, eventually in the millions (see Holodomor).

  11. That doesn’t mean there wasn’t a person in the RV. There could have been someone not especially happy to be there, wishing they was somewhere else. From the pictures I’ve seen, I’m not sure there was anything left of the RV to be inside of. It’s been suggested that the human remains are in the form of human tissue. This leads me to wonder if they’re scraping it off walls, or poking it out of window screens with a toothpick.

  12.  @StompingRabbits  No, Patrick, Russia can’t replace the degraded units with other units guarding Russia’s borders. They’re ostensibly there guarding the border against NATO and other threats, no? If Putin starts removing his border armies to send them to Ukraine, that really undermines his claim that NATO is threatening Russia. On top of that, Moscow is not popular with other parts of the Russian Federation. They need to keep a large number of soldiers through Russia to control unrest. The don’t want a new insurgency in Chechnya. No, Russia is near the limit of the forces it can send, without compromising its own security elsewhere.

  13. It was kind of like a Russian Operation Market-Garden, wasn’t it? “An Airport Too Far”.

  14. Sanctions on a person or a country punish a behavior until the person or country stop doing the behavior. Additionally, economic sanctions hinder the person’s or country’s ability to finance the undesired behavior.

  15. You’ll be relieved to hear that the tank is fine, but its transfer to Ukrainian defense forces is still pending.

  16. Nah. Just surrendering is a big enough help.

  22.  villa clarise  Nutcases for sure. Might be too early to ascribe political leanings, especially as the biggest lunatics at the extremes practically meet at the far end of the circle. Your left wing psychotic and your right wing psychotic are going to be more similar than different, and just as divorced from reality.

  27.  @jaredsmith112  Send them to a neutral country like Poland for detention until hostilities cease. Or Spain. I guess Poland is already doing a lot and we should ask another non-combatant country. So, yeah, Spain would be pretty good.

  29.  @rhondasmith7413  I was thinking of that, but obviously that wasn’t the only purpose or why do it where it will draw the most attention and not look like an accident?

  31. That’s about the size of it. In Western militaries, it’s not uncommon for a general to visit close to the front for a limited time to get a better sense of a situation, but they’re not exposing themselves like these Russians apparently are. They don’t try to micromanage the battalions. That’s what their subordinates are for.
