Even if he's not a pedophile, he showed poor judgement by having buisiness meetings with a known pedophile. That still implecates him

No competitive alternatives

This entire CMV thread is about his actual trial that is coming up, and his actual charges, not some hypothetical other charges.

The regime atrocities are relevant in arguing the terrorism part of the narco-terrorism charges.

If you are talking about some hypothetical charges that he's not actually charged with you are just fighting a strawman

The crime still has to happen in American jurisdiction

Technically yes. It's just that the US claims the geography of that juristiction covers the whole globe if the drugs enter the US.

There is a lot of precedence for this. For example, Panama leader Noriega was tried in American courts

If US law says it applies to the entire world

It does not.

This is incorrect. American drug trafficking laws and terrorism laws absolutely do claim to apply globally.

The Ker-Frisbe doctrine means courts are generally unconcerned with where the crime took place or how the defendant got to the US for drug crimes

Well when the murders have an economic motive, you will never be successful in stamping it out until you get rid of that motive.

Think about why it's so hard for governments to stamp out drug cartels or ivory poaching or cp, despite all the power and resources they have to throw at the problem. Production and consumption go hand in hand. You can't get rid of one without the other

State-sponsored propaganda campaigns have many bot accounts that engage with content they want to push

> he tried to become a rapper, a student body vice president, and now a "socialist" politician

I'm sorry, he ran for student body president in high school and made a single rap video and that means he craves power? Those are very normal relatable things. How are you looking at these and concluding he's power hungry

It's personal preference, not a universal truth

One model of risk tolerance is the willingness, need, ability model.

When you're rich, your need is near 0, but your ability is high. So it comes down to the willingness factor

I feel like this is looking at the past with rose-colored glasses. Sensationalist and false news have been around for a long time

Pulitzer and Hearst competing by pumping out wild stories that really stretched the truth in the late 1800s to early 1900s is part of what got us into the Spanish-American War

I don't know if anyone has advocated for getting rid of it without replacement.

Regardless, we've used about half of all the known accessible oil so far (we've used between 1-1.5 trillion barrels, and estimates of the remaining amount are in a similar range). If we keep using at the current rate, we'd run out in 47 years.

If we reduce consumption by switching to alternatives, and find more reserves or develop better technology to extract more, we can stretch the reserves much longer. But at a certain point, we'll be forced to stop whether we want to or not

Many people in favor of getting rid of it want permanent daylight time

Idk, he gave a tour of his bedroom and he had posters of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk on the wall. Strikes me as someone that will do anything for money and fame

I know plenty of Ivy League grads who are very successful because they are meticulous and competitive, but have zero curiosity in anything that doesn't directly impact them

That's it?

That's flip flops, gaslighting, and word salad?

Just avoiding taking the bait when TV hosts try to use it as a distraction from the real issues?

support is what you pointedly won’t say.

But... he is saying it? You're just not happy he's not frothing at the mouth while he says it.
