We've reached the "publicly threatening to commit war crimes" phase of this conflict.

Ah, I see we've reached the "publicly threatening to commit war crimes" phase of this conflict. Must be going swimmingly, I suppose.

Nothing says “help is on the way” like telling the Iranian people you will cut off their electricity.

A nation of 90 million is now stuck between a regime that brutally suppresses them and US/Israel threatening to disrupt their very basic necessities of life.

This war is unconstitutional, and it’s ridiculous that this one individual can sit there and threaten to bomb Iran’s power plants, a move that will cause Iran to retaliate in kind (or more) across the region. What happened to the rule of law? Congress? Courts? Democracy?

Rule of law?

What rule of law?

What is this "rule of law" of which you speak?

The only thing you need to be talking about is the DOW is over 50,000 "dollars"........

Justice matters.

34 convictions = Zero punishments.

Dozens of top-secret MILITARY documents stolen = Not even a trial to begin with.

Conspiracy to steal an election followed by an attempt to violently overthrow the government = Not even a trial either.

Those are just the crimes that have clear pieces of evidence brought up by prosecutors. There may be a lot more not even prosecuted yet (like dozens of murders in high ocean waters, for just one instance).

The Rule Of Law is now a sad joke.
