Milei's supporters target feminist leaders and media figures with threats of personal violence.

Milei's Thatcherism, ARG

dimanche 28 janvier 2024 à 14:05

A nationwide strike against the president, who calls himself "the madman," shut down much of Argentina.

In addition, tens of thousands protested. I wonder how many he will arrest under his new law.

UN court to Israel: DTRT

dimanche 28 janvier 2024 à 14:05

*The UN court in The Hague told Israel it must "take all measures within its power" to desist from killing Palestinians in contravention of the genocide convention, and to prevent and punish the incitement of genocide and facilitate the provision of "urgent basic services".

The court did not find Israel guilty of genocide, but seems to consider Israel's conduct as leading in that direction, hence orders to make sure it does not commit genocide.

I think that ruling is right for the facts of the situation: Israel's crimes include mass killing of civilians, and potentially many more. That doesn't amount to genocide — this far — but it is an enormous crime.

Caricatures and true riches

The court ordered the bullshitter to pay 83 million dollars in damages for raping and then defaming E. Jean Carroll.

I can imagine the bullshitter riding on a broomstick and a stereotype witch's hat while saying, "I'm the victim of a witch hunt!"

Speaking of which. if you are a cartoonist and you'd like to draw cartoons for me occasionally as a volunteer, please write to me.

The cheater (another name for the bullshitter) has a history of refusing to pay his debts. Even debts to contractors who did work for him. I predict he will refuse to pay this debt, and dare the court to do something. That fits his general strategy of daring courts to stop him from acting as if he were above the law. His supporters admire whoever is strong. Biden needs to deal with him in a way that demonstrates the cheater's weakness.

Ralph Nader suggests Democrats provoke the cheater to defeat himself, Jujitsu style.
