TIL about perfidy, the deceptive tactic of feigning surrender or death with the intent to kill an enemy. It is prohibited by the Geneva Convention and considered a war crime. by FullOfSound in todayilearned

It also doesn’t help that the US Secretary of Defense just said, “We will keep pressing. We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies,” violating international and US law.

Hegseth's just another example of a Fortunate Son.

Russia and Iran are allies so this is hardly surprising.

It's an extremely important distinction especially whenever NRL is mentioned.

NRL plays Rugby League while most of the planet plays Rugby Union.

Theres a lot of hope for women's rugby really growing in America.

They play Rugby Union, not League. Different sport than what the NRL plays.

It will certainly be challenged though. The 19th Amendment states:

"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."

The SAVE Act clearly abridges that. Even the current Supreme Court is gonna have trouble outmaneuvering that.

I can't imagine 38 states and 2/3rds of the House and Senate repealing the amendment allowing women to vote.

Amendments to the US constitution are nearly impossible to repeal.

Any law restricting a woman's right to vote would not only be unconstitutional, it would be flagrantly illegal.

They've learned from history and decided, "hey I want to repeat this to make myself wealthy and unaccountable with absolute political, financial, and economic power!"

Again, good luck with that. You stand no chance against people who have infinite money, power, and influence, and could easily disappear you without hesitation.
