War.

Ah, the always welcome “and so what?” comment, with a side of name calling for some extra spice.

Pls break Google up. Kthx

Now would be a “great” time for Russia and China to start more shit, as the US involved in a military conflict in the Middle East.

For countries, poltical parties and even at the individual level, I think that this is an important lesson of the times:

Do not be too shy to act, do not be too afraid to stand up against the ones that are pushing the boundaries of what is tolerable.

Ask that question again when you are trying to find a lawyer to sue the government for you.

Today Jenner & Block, another large firm, got targeted.

Legal professionals must unite. This is an existential matter. Paul, Weiss disgracefully caved.

Yeah, agreed.

Thanks for the response and interesting link. I should have worded my initial comment better, I suppose.

What I am saying it that it may be worth considering that the extraordinary nature of the leak warrants a critical analysis of a possible ulterior motive or furtherance of some other agenda.

What I may be, I don’t know.

However, for instance, even more than the leak itself, I find it ultimately more relevant that a very anti-European stance was expressed in the coziness of a “private” chat by the senior most national-security officials of the US.

Yeah, I find the “accidental” chat with a journalist too strange to take it at face value.

This story is so weird that I take it with grain of salt.

Top level personnel added him to a chat. He wrote a piece that otherwise makes them look good (at least mildly competent). Then left the chat.

But nationwide injunctions are totally fine when issued in Texas to block student loan forgiveness or reproductive rights.

Very small quantities of fentanyl are used to cut/enhance other drugs, often without the knowledge of the consumer, thus making them more potent/addictive.

Who needs diplomats when all you want to do is burn bridges?

Lawyers in Venezuela tell the anecdote that collegues especialized in administrative law were the ones first out of the job.

Sounds like a great idea.

OK, I have an idea for a new TV show.

Let’s form a club of boomer, anti-democratic, rightwing-extremist, power hungry narcissists, and invite them to a private island and have them get stranded there because the flight authority botched traffic control (due to budget cuts, obviously).

Record it in the style of a reality TV show.

Cloud Atlas (2012) - Ridiculously great movie ɓy the Wachowskis.

The US is a rogue state.

Matches the tone of the publications.
