When it comes to criminally corrupt untouchables, actually murdering them is perfectly reasonable.
Obviously I'd prefer for them to rot in prison for life, but murdering a murderer to stop them from murder is completely justified, and I'm tired of everyone acting like it's not.
I just want them gone. I don't care if death is how they get there. Society can just turn on them and have their assets siezed as they rapidly fade into obscurity, or they can be tossed in a jail and largely left to rot, save for some cases of extreme reconditioning.
I won't wish death on anyone. But sometimes, it does feel like the most readily accessible means to a good end.
The oath is important and sounds good. But it's also extremely simplistic. No definition of what "enemy" means. For the armed forces, maybe you could say said enemies would be those attacking and occupying territory.
We're not paying them to attack the people who won the last election. You have a problem with that, you should talk to the 10 million or so people that made that happen. Trump didn't take over in a coup, we handed him the country.
Eh, he was a continuation of what Papa Bush did with Reagan...
And that is almost exactly what Cheney did with Lil Bush, and Miller is doing with trump now.
Whether or not Cheney was pulling the strings while Reagan was in office... I'm not sure, but I'd say it was ex-CIA director Papa Bush who came up with this scheme.
My family in east coast says local news station they watch was spamming this instead of putting up something about voting even though they're literally voting today.

As per tradition, Rolling Stone's article: ‘Dick Cheney, Iraq war architect and “War on Terror” mastermind, dead at 84’.
From the producers of ‘Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America’s Ruling Class, Finally Dies’ and ‘Henry Kissinger, Notorious War Criminal, Lauded By Media’.

This appears to be almost a quote from Clarence Darrow which has been misattributed to multiple other historical figures over the years.

Actually according to the hunting guide staff the person who shot that guy was a 20yo hooker. Dick was just covering for her.

What a great man. "We couldn't call it torture so we named it 'enhanced interrogation' instead hahaha." "Waterboarding was very effective hahaha".
Sad that this war criminal never had to pay for his crimes.
