It’s clear from Trump’s first term that he is not constrained by “optics” or “precedent” at all. He already pardoned a large number of his allies for personal gain. He was always going to abuse the system regardless.
Remember how the Titan sub used a game controller and everyone called them out? I think I’d still feel safer.
You seem to misunderstand the concept of international law.
I’m talking about how it is defined in international law
There are various widely adopted treaties that give specific definitions for crimes against humanity. In this case, the 1949 Geneva Conventions.
Point is, there is absolutely no way to get states to agree on any of this
And yet 196 states, including France and Israel, have ratified these conventions (fully or in part). 125 states, including France but not Israel, have ratified the Rome statute and thus accept the ICC jurisdiction. States agree to these treaties because of diplomacy: you get taken less seriously if you don’t ratify these.
Of course, this system of international law breaks down when states flagrantly break it without repercussions, like Israel and France in this case.
There’s really no need to liquidate anyway. If the farm is even remotely profitable, the revenue will be much more than the tax payments. And even if the owner does need the liquidity for some reason, it’s perfectly normal to borrow against assets. That’s just cost of capital.
I’m sorry, but I think you’re mistaken. May I ask where you got this information?
As I understand it, the DPF is merely an executive order and not a federal law, so it’s very limited in what it can do. It doesn’t create the ability to enforce fines through US courts because breaking the GDPR is still perfectly legal under US law.
This loophole is still used unfortunately. For example, Clearview AI was fined by various data protection authorities, but their fines cannot be enforced so the company just never paid up.l
Slavery has never not been illegal per the US constitution
???
That doesn’t mean what you think it does. The fact that Harris received fewer votes from independents is because they stayed home (as evidenced by the lower turnout), not because they moved to Trump en masse.
Your conclusion also makes very little sense when you consider that Harris already conceded so much to Republicans compared to 2020, i.e. on migration, campaigning with Cheney and even proposing to appoint Republicans in the cabinet.
And so the blame game has begun. And just like in 2016, Dems will point at everything except themselves. But that’s not how democracy works.
Even if you computer is not exposed to the internet: are you certain that every other device on the network is safe (even on public wifi)? Would you immediately raise the alarm if you saw a second printer in the list with the same name, or something like “Print to file”? I think I personally could fall for that under the right circumstances.
The military lies and exploits poverty to coerce people. The federation is a post-scarcity society so people join because they want to. Also, the purpose of Starfleet is mostly exploration (with some exceptions).
Putin couldn’t care less about the support from some random programmers. Be realistic, what do you expect them to do? Take up arms? Protest and get imprisoned? Vote in the sham elections?
Targeting random civilians in hopes of political change is the strategy of terrorists.
Ignoring all the assassinations and strikes by Israel, including the unprovoked bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus?
So then you agree that there is no reason to be “glad” about this?
And how exactly is banning these contributors supposed to stop the invasion? These people have no control or culpability.
So you’re saying that the GDPR makes it illegal for individuals to use surveillance for self defense. That’s not true. Recital 50 specifically allows people to share data with law enforcement. And if you’re referring to putting up cameras, that’s actually very ineffective at reducing crime while it does expand mass surveillance.
Where’s the lie?
