“Iran says it will pursue war-crimes charges against President Donald Trump at the International Criminal Court in the Hague over this month’s assassination of Gen. Qassem Soleimani.”
Interesting that TASS first put this out there only to be picked up by questionable outlets.
The state that scores 49th or 50th in virtually every marker of civilization or progress (despite such strengths as NASA)…yeah, that’s the state to emulate.
Who the absolute fuck would want to be more like Alabama in much of anything related to education? Seriously? Maybe import some white supremacist assholes too?
Here’s the thing. No one in this country is prevented from praying. Ever. The prohibition is against forcing others to pray, and specifically to pray in a manner that they may not agree with. If I am sitting or standing quietly, you can’t know if I am praying or not. IOW, as has been pointed out by wittier than I, “As long as there are tests in school, there will be prayers in school.”
For the next 90 minutes, Mattis, Tillerson, and Cohn took turns trying to emphasize their points, pointing to their charts and diagrams. They showed where U.S. personnel were positioned, at military bases, CIA stations, and embassies, and how U.S. deployments fended off the threats of terror cells, nuclear blasts, and destabilizing enemies in places including Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, the Korea Peninsula, and Syria. Cohn spoke for about 20 minutes about the value of free trade with America’s allies, emphasizing how he saw each trade agreement working together as part of an overall structure to solidify U.S. economic and national security.
Trump appeared peeved by the schoolhouse vibe but also allergic to the dynamic of his advisers talking at him. His ricocheting attention span led him to repeatedly interrupt the lesson. He heard an adviser say a word or phrase and then seized on that to interject with his take. For instance, the word “base” prompted him to launch in to say how “crazy” and “stupid” it was to pay for bases in some countries.
Yeah. Funny how they missed the part of the Bible that states prayer is something that is supposed to be practiced in private, and those that do it loudly and publicly are hypocrites.
Yeah, I think in their world view, the Pharisees were the good guys. Not sure how that happened, but it is a widespread view in conservative Xtian circles.
