You keep telling me that the AUMF is unconstitutional. Where is the court ruling? This whole conversation began on the question of whether it was legal or not. > Using the "global war" terminology literally justifies assassinat

He was a combatant under the AUMF following 9/11 that allowed the US to launch a global war. It doesn't matter if they are in a “combat zone”. That’s not how the AUMF works. He had been directly tied to conspiring with terrorist g

If, as per legal opinions, the target is not able to be apprehended given reasonable effort to do so, and evidence is presented as such, there is legal maneuvering to carry out a targeted killing-which is a military matter-, against a comba

It’s concealed under state secretes law. >Keep conflating legal terminology. Ok, man. I see. Take some time to read the legal opinion and memo I linked, and you would see justification under the law is possible. It’s very informative.

“But in the case of a targeted killing, senior executive branch officials explicitly designate one U.S. citizen as a target and attempt to kill him specifically outside of a standard battle. The result is that the U.S. citizen needs to be o

Targeted killing and assassination are two different things in the eyes of the law. Please stop conflating the two. Like I said, I’m no legal scholar. This is what I’ve come across for legal opinion: The criteria set by the following, outli

I mean…it’s circumstantial? The reason these societal contracts hold weight is because people give them weight. Ultimately it’s up to the people to hold government accountable. Did the public care about possible implications of Awlaki? Prob

Uh, mind the quip, I’m actually trying to frame the invasion as more unhinged given the solely ideological bent it was predicated on. At least invading for oil would have made sense.

Oh goodness, here we go. What country did the US bomb for oil? We went into Afghanistan because the Taliban harbored the organization that committed 9/11 and refused to turn them over. We went into Iraq primarily because a group of Neo

Really not trying to be a dick here, but why are we even arguing over Twitters content moderation policies? The companies that run social media can legally censor and remove publicly, and privately, posted content. They can also ban, suspen

Why is Twitters position on what type of content it allows a ‘problem’ given it’s a private company? The companies that run social media can legally censor and remove publicly, and privately, posted content. They can also ban, suspend, or l

One day I asked myself, after I use Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/other social media, how do I feel? The immediate answer was “not good.” Immediately deleted. This was 5 years ago. Not one day have I missed them. Have a LinkedIn

I’m very much aware there’s waste. Yes, it needs to be addressed. However, for myself , the feeling of building financial security is worth more to me (right now) than quality of services derived from taxes. Only reason I’ve ever lived in t

So, you’re saying, you have a better and most trusted method of measuring productivity, than the CB, WTO, WB, and OCED. Would you let me know what metric you use, then? Also, every legitimate economist states that measuring trade policy by

Do you have data to backup those assertions about productivity? My findings suggest the US to be on par with Germany on PPP terms, ranked 6th overall. When measuring productivity on a per hour basis the US is in the top 3. The statistics I’
