The Congo is EXCESSIVELY resource rich. But so is Alaska. Fuck that shit, let them sort it out themselves.
If Erik Prince wants to fight for them and be paid in minerals, he should be allowed to.
It's worth it on a strictly aerial bombardment and laugh basis if it can pay for itself.
Rather, Trump should just ignore the order and risk impeachment if he's overstepping the line. That's the political resolution, but if there isn't the political will to do it, then Trump hasn't actually overstepped the line and the judges can keep making fools of themselves.
Erik Prince has been talking a lot about making deals and suggesting ideas to Trump but it seems none of his plans have really been implemented. First there was that letter of marque to fight Cartels story and now this.
prince went to yemen or saudi arabia to fight houthis and was also denied.
We passed "I disagree about your taxation policies" about a hundred political prisoners and a couple of assassination attempts ago
HOA is such a terrible acronym because it looks like it should be spoken as "whore"
nobody wants him to touch their shit, at least publicly. he's a toxic name.
I'm not positive that would be a good thing. Just because the Republicans start using the liberals illegal tactics the liberals aren't going to suddenly go "oh shit I guess that was a law for a reason". Instead they will treat that as justification for their illegal tactics and double down, while simultaneously blaming the Republicans for the illegal tactics. An eye for an eye and the world goes blind and all that. The Republicans have been pretty lax on calling our liberal bullshit but refusing to stoop that low is paying off - the Democrat party has fallen to communism and insanity while the Republicans are going to be in power for quite some time.
The problem is the liberals are already breaking the rules and show no sign of stopping. If you and another dude agree to fight with no weapons, but he brings a gun every time and wins every confrontation, how many times do you keep showing up before you bring a gun as well? It's not an "eye for an eye leaves the world blind" situation, it's a "a well-armed society is a peaceful society" situation. Either Republicans start fighting at the same level or they're going to keep losing.
they're blowing up car shops because they don't like the guy who runs the company
No. They're right. We should probably have their homes raided by SWAT and hold the vandals in isolation cells for years without trial. And have the right leaning media hyperventilate about the vandal spree as another Pearl Harbor or 9/11 attack for a few years. "MARCH 2025... NEVER AGAIN!!!" or some histrionic shit like that.
This, but without the ironic condescension.
Just because the Dems shit the bed doesn't mean that the Republicans are golden. MAGA and Trump have gotten this far because they play hard ball against the Dem's shenanigans. In Trump's first term we saw how far politeness and rule following will get you. Trump learned his lesson and he is ready to fight tooth and nail with every trick in his book. And once Trump is gone we need the Republicans to follow his example and keep fighting or else we will be back to our regularly scheduled slow decay of America's foundation while the conservatives don't fight back.
If the dude is such a shitty gunslinger that we are having several confrontations, I would stay unarmed out of pitty for the poor guy.
I agree let them sort it out themselves
You're making the liberal mistake of assuming that there are no knock on effects or second order consequences.
Republicans fighting dirty IS the knock on effect.
somehow you entirely missed the point. there are no judges anymore. everyone is picking sides. everyone is partisan now. there are no neutral parties to officiate. they've brought this upon themselves by noticing there was no official to stop them and bringing brass knuckles to every boxing match and wearing them instead. now, without neutral parties, there are only winners and losers every time. in this case, if WE lose, we see it as the actual beginning of the end, or continuation of the end, of america. in my view, the beginning of the decline of humanity, too.
