  • Isn’t the Senate supposed to have a Marshall who has authority to haul people in who ignore subpoenas and the like?

    The USA seems to have an awful lot of ‘regulations’ and ‘laws’ that have no real enforcement, it would seem.

    Enough of ‘courtesy’ and ‘expectations’ for all governmental things such as this. Anything that isn’t mandatory apparently will be ignored. Close the loopholes. Amend every law and regulation with the full expectation that every person it might be brought to bear to is a slimy grifter wannabe-fascist that will only listen to the very real threat of incarceration and jailtime from this point forward.

    Oh, and give the President 2, maybe 3 pardons max and none exercisable in the last year of office. Or something. Geez, anything.





  • You spread misinformation, gardylou@lemmy.world. Anyone who cares to do so can verify the info I give below.

    Snowden stated from the start that he originally intended to go from Hong Kong to Ecuador, who had promised him asylum. He intentionally gave away all copies of his data, destroying his own, to the journalists who had met him in Hong Kong to evaluate his leaks (verify sources before believing those who claim ‘he leaked info to Russia’). He fully intended to be ‘clean’ if he were interdicted on his way out of Hong Kong.

    The US illegally (violating international law! It is illegal for a nation to render their own citizen stateless while abroad) revoked his US passport as he flew to Russia, which he meant to be a temporary stop only to obtain passage on a flight to Ecuador as Ecuadorian officials were to be there in order to receive him.

    The President of Ecuador’s own Presidential Plane, with the Ecuadorian President onboard was forcibly grounded over EU airspace, by fighter jets, at the USA’s behest, on suspicioun that Snowden might be aboard. Snowden was trapped in a Russian airport, against his will, with no valid passport, essentially rendered Stateless – again, a violation of international law perpetrated by the USA against one of its own citizens.

    Imagine the USA’s response if Airforce One were forcibly grounded to a foreign airport, by foreign fighter-jets, at the behest of another country.

    Repressed memories flooding back. Our school gym didn’t always keep them inflated properly, so the strong, taller guys would really launch them and the flaccid rubber things would splat against our young bodies like lead jellyfish.

    Holy hell dodgeball was a war crime. But so. much. fun.

    The ‘medics’ were not supposed to be targets… hah, hah. ‘Oops, collateral damage!’ :/ :)
