This seems incorrect. Ordering Seal Team 6 to kill his opponent is not within the President's power under the Constitution, no?

The President would probably be immune from prosecution for that order under Trump, but per the Constitution, Art I, Sec III, the President could be impeached and then tried criminally:

Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

The President is already barred from using the military in civil criminal contexts under the Posse Comitatus Act. The President is also barred from murdering someone under 18 U.S. Code § 1111. The key here is that under Trump, the President would need to be impeached first in order to strip them of Presidential Immunity.

Note that a big thing that leftists are missing here is that Presidential Immunity does not extend to employees and agents of the executive branch. Any members of the military or law enforcement who carry out illegal acts can be prosecuted under existing law. So the Seal Team Six (its no longer called that, BTW) members who murder the Supreme Court would be guilty of murder and can be tried for murder under existing law.

The President can and has ordered the military to assassinate Americans overseas, and nobody tried to prosecute him for it.

Correct. Obama is probably criminally immune from prosecution unless he is impeached. But the drone operators could be charged. The family members of Anwar al-Awlaki tried to civilly sue Obama Administration officials but were unsuccessful. There is a federal law that allows people to sue state officials for their violations of civil rights called 42 U.S. Code § 1983. But conveniently, the feds have not made a similar law for when federal officials violate someone's civil rights. There is a common law version of § 1983 called the Bivens doctrine. But Bivens is narrowly interpereted and the court reviewing the al-Awlaki lawsuit did not want to extend it to cases of military and national security.

KIA2 came about because the users disagreed with the mods of KIA in part over the moderation and how strict they wanted to keep the topics to ethics in video game journalism. Over time, KIA2 became a more general social commentary forum that includes but is not limited to video game journalism.

That it's all kind of culture and not just video games?

Correct. This is a social commentary forum. If you want ethics in video game journalism specifically, then c/KotakuInAction is there for it.

I just want greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth to have their own official months too.

I think it kills all of the federal cases against him. I would say it arguably also applies to the Georgia case too. But it probably has no bearing on the New York case. It seems like a stretch to say that paying Cohen the settlement funds and recording the payment in the accounting system was a "core" presidential act.

I thought that the CIA was more into drugs and it was Mossad that did the sex trafficking?

We know from his own tweet that he engaged in sexually provocative conversations with someone that he knew was or believed to be 17. We have also heard from multiple sources now that he was investigated by authorities and was cleared. What is new and still rumor until verified is that it was some sort of fishing expedition by Twitch employees.

Multiple things can be true at once. Dr Disrespect was creeping on a minor or someone that he believed was a minor. Dr Disrespect also apparently did nothing illegal. Twitch employees were also possibly involved in the whole thing.

Well yes, that's why most MTF trannies are "transbians". They still want women, even in their grotesque form.

Question is, though...is that against the rules?

If it's not, it should be. Thread crapping should be against the rules. I don't hate Imp for being a misogynist, even if I think his takes are retarded. I hate Imp because he derails 90% of the threads that he comments in.

Trump also picked Mark Milley despite being warned that he was an idiot. Milley repaid Trump by stabbing him in the back.

Anyone who relishes in “egg cracking” is a pedophile and should be treated accordingly.

Well no, Muslim Asians like Malaysians and Indonesians don’t act like the goat fucking barbarians in the Middle East.

They shift their opinion purely based on what region a news article is reporting on.

Why is this such a hard concept for you? I don’t want Arabs in the West, but at the same time, I don’t give two shits about what they do in their own country. As long as they’re over there and leaving us alone, then they can do whatever they want as far as I’m concerned. And if they attack women, gays and Jews in their own lands, well that’s pretty amusing to me.

That’s more of a function of Arab culture than Islam. Christian Arabs are generally just as filthy as Muslim Arabs.

Color me surprised then. Because most of these recent violent attacks on individual people by the rainbow brigade have been because of romances gone wrong.

I still want to know what subreddit or discord they modded.

It's how they stole snowflake. Originally it was used to describe how leftists would have an unreasonably emotive reaction to anything against them, but nowadays you only see them use it.

Yeah, you would think. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

/u/C/ mentioned a long time ago that DMs here are plaintext and can be read by admins and also that they would comply with warrants. So don't fedpost in DMs, don't send PII by DMs, etc.

Is there something about Jews not being able to say "God?" I find it a little cringe, but I get religious people censoring the world if it's used in a bad way, like not saying "God damn," but censoring it when you're talking about you speaking to God just seems weird.

It's an extension of the "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain" Commandment. Because Jewish culture revolves heavily around getting out of things based off of technicalities, they will say that they're not invoking the name of god if they use g_d instead. It's similar to how they string up wires around their neighborhoods to say that they're "indoors" by technically being under something because Jewish law says that they must be indoors for the Sabbath. Or how they'll lock away the food in their pantry for Passover. It's stupid and disingenuous. As if god is fooled by their technical observation of his laws when they're clearly trying to actively circumvent it.
