@chris I hope the pie is tasty, at least.

@nantel Or the rest of Ukraine in 2022.

I hate every single bit of this.

If true I don't think such activity would be sustained since it would be a blatantly illegal action without a vote from congress (IUMF is not sufficient unless there is clear proof some tie to 2001/09/11 existed), and it would add another "high crime" to the list for when impeachment time comes around next election cycle as well as exposing the participants to new legal risk since there is no legal basis for such activites, nor has one been proposed.

Almost forgot, it opens the offending party up to embarrasment if not 100% successful. This is a bluff, and if it's not we're in for serious troubles.

@chris @McWabbit Depending on how they voted I can share the blame all the way down to raw recruit.

Bei uns nennt man das "Henkersmahlzeit"

Vor dem 2. Golfkrieg bekamen die Soldaten einen Sony Walkman geschenkt. Analog zum damaligen Werbespruch "my first Sony" nannten es die Soldaten "my last Sony"

We call this a “hangman’s meal”

Before the Second Gulf War, the soldiers were given a Sony Walkman. Analogous to the advertising slogan of the time, “my first Sony,” the soldiers called it “my last Sony.”

@chris I was aware of the tradition but during the first Gulf War the U.S. in their infinite wisdom and with more than a little malice served pork, in some kind of attempt to rub Muslim's noses in it... metaphorically. They didn't have time for the psychological warfare course this time.

They have access to free legal services and congress has the power to declare war, not the president, so it is easy to tell if it is illegal.
