Obtuse? I can read what the Geneva Convention plainly states and what the US did falls under that definition of perfidy.

I fell for The Geneva Convention? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfidy Geneva Conventions Perfidy is specifically prohibited under the 1977 Protocol I Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, which states: English Wikisource has original text related to this article: Protocol I of the Geneva Convention Article 37. – Prohibition of perfidy Article 38. – Recognized emblems

Yeah, war crime by international law. So...if US soldiers donned the Red Cross emblem and used that disguise to kill enemy soldiers, that would be cool with you?

It appears you have no idea what perfidy is. For your edification so you don't embarrass yourself any further. AI Overview Perfidy in war is a serious violation of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and a war crime, defined as acts that invite an adversary's confidence to betray it, like faking surrender, wounds, or civilian status to launch a surprise attack. It's distinct from lawful ruses, which don't abuse protected status, and blurs lines between combatants and protected persons, increasing risks for civilians and surrendering soldiers. Examples include misusing emblems like the Red Cross or pretending to be a civilian to attack.

What do you base that on? I simply asked why Niger wasn't on the list. How is that question racist?

So? And what is your point?

After Venezuela, Greenland looks like his next target. From NYT subscriber content: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/us/politics/rubio-trump-greenland.html Rubio Tells Lawmakers Trump Wants to Buy Greenland Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told lawmakers that President Trump plans to buy Greenland rather than invade it, while Mr. Trump has asked aides to give him an updated plan for acquiring the territory, U.S. officials said on Tuesday. Mr. Rubio made his remarks in a briefing on Monday with lawmakers from the main armed services and foreign policy committees in both chambers of Congress. The same day, Mr. Trump told aides to deliver an updated plan. The congressional briefing was focused on Venezuela, but lawmakers raised concerns about Mr. Trump’s intentions on Greenland given aggressive remarks this week by the American president and a top aide, Stephen Miller, two officials said. Mr. Rubio did not go into detail on what he meant by buying Greenland. Mr. Trump spent decades in New York as a real estate developer, and one of his top diplomatic envoys, Steve Witkoff, comes from the same background. Mr. Trump has coveted Greenland since his first term. Greenland is a sparsely populated, autonomous territory that falls under the sovereign boundaries of Denmark, a member of NATO. Denmark established colonial control over Greenland in the 18th century, and allowed it to become autonomous in the 20th century. On Tuesday, leaders of six NATO nations joined with Mette Frederiksen, the prime minister of Denmark, to issue a remarkable joint statement pushing back against Mr. Trump’s assertions that the United States should take over Greenland. The nations that aligned with Denmark were Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Poland, all of which are close allies of the United States. “Security in the Arctic must therefore be achieved collectively, in conjunction with NATO allies including the United States, by upholding the principles of the U.N. Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders,” they said. “These are universal principles, and we will not stop defending them.” “Greenland belongs to its people,” they added. “It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland.” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said Mr. Trump had not ruled out a U.S. invasion of Greenland .“President Trump has made it well known that acquiring Greenland is a national security priority of the United States, and it’s vital to deter our adversaries in the Arctic region,” she said in a statement. “The president and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the U.S. military is always an option at the commander in chief’s disposal.”

Yeah, Guess Dey Color.

From NYT subscriber content: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01/14/us/trump-news#section-332871333 Denmark and Greenland left a meeting with Vance and Rubio with no agreement. Denmark, Greenland and the United States have a “fundamental disagreement” over the future of the territory in the North Atlantic, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, the Danish foreign minister, said on Wednesday after a meeting with top Trump administration officials. The meeting in Washington — hours after President Trump said the United States “needs Greenland” — was the first among the three governments to discuss Mr. Trump’s desire to buy or take the semiautonomous Danish territory. Mr. Rasmussen and Vivian Motzfeldt, the Greenland foreign minister, met with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Afterward, Mr. Rasmussen called the discussion “frank” and “constructive” even as he underscored that Denmark has no interest in changing the status quo. “Our perspectives continue to differ,” he said. “The president has made his view clear. And we have a different position.” But, he said, there was also progress: The governments will form a working group, likely within weeks, to try to find a path forward that accommodates Mr. Trump’s security concerns, without violating the territorial integrity of the Danish kingdom or the Greenlanders’ right to self-determination. And while the Americans did not apologize or back down from Mr. Trump’s threats, Mr. Rasmussen said that he hoped the governments could begin to “take down the temperature” after more than a year of trading barbs on social media instead of meeting face to face. “We, therefore, still have a fundamental disagreement, but we also agreed to disagree,” he said. “We will, however, continue to talk.” [...]

Mark Kelly Over His Remarks Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the military had started administrative actions against Senator Mark Kelly, Democrat of Arizona, that could result in a reduction in his retirement rank and military pension. In November, Mr. Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers who served in the military or the intelligence community released a video reminding their still-serving counterparts that they were obligated to refuse illegal orders. In a social media message issued on Monday, Mr. Hegseth called the video “seditious” and criticized Mr. Kelly for a “pattern of reckless misconduct” aimed at undermining good order and discipline in the ranks. Mr. Kelly and his lawyers maintained last month that the senator was simply articulating a fundamental principle of military law. They noted that Mr. Hegseth had made similar statements in the past. “If you’re doing something that is just completely unlawful and ruthless, then there is a consequence for that,” Mr. Hegseth said in a speech to the Liberty Forum of Silicon Valley in 2016. “That’s why the military said it won’t follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief.” In the video that prompted Mr. Hegseth and President Trump’s ire, Mr. Kelly said: “Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.” Mr. Kelly, who retired from the Navy as a captain, flew 39 combat missions as a naval aviator and four spaceflights as an astronaut. As a retired naval officer, Mr. Kelly is subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice and therefore can be recalled to active duty and disciplined. The other Democratic lawmakers in the video did not serve long enough to retire and do not receive a pension or fall under military law. Mr. Hegseth also said he had issued a “formal Letter of Censure” that will be entered into Mr. Kelly’s permanent personnel file. The decision on whether to reduce his retirement rank and pension will be made over the next 45 days, Mr. Hegseth wrote in his message on social media. [...]

https://www.thewrap.com/creative-content/tv-shows/jimmy-kimmel-reacts-trump-minneapolis-fake-protests-claim/ Jimmy Kimmel Sounds Off on Trump’s Claim the Minneapolis Protests Are ‘Fake’: ‘Another Bananas Speech’ | Video Jimmy Kimmel laid into Donald Trump after the president suggested the protests in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of a woman by ICE were “fake.” The comedian blasted the president’s latest comments on the growing situation in Minnesota during Tuesday’s monologue for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” During his address, Kimmel sounded off on Trump giving “another bananas speech” and accused the president of trying to twist the truth. “First they want us to believe that we did not see what we all saw happen to [victim] Renee Good,” he said. “Now he wants us to believe the protests aren’t real. It’s like the ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ in reverse. He’s telling us we’re the ones who are naked while they do their best to cover everything up.” As Kimmel went on, he ripped into Trump’s Tuesday morning rant, in which the president asked if the people of Minnesota wanted to live in a “community in which there are thousands of already convicted murderers, drug dealers and addicts, rapists, violent released and escape prisoners, dangerous people from foreign mental institutions and insane asylums, and other deadly criminals too dangerous to even mention.” The late night host was noticeably baffled by Trump’s social media post, as he compared the president to “the Undertaker at Wrestlemania.” He added: “I mean, seriously, would somebody get this hypoglycemic 5-year-old a fidget spinner? He needs something to do with his hands. I really don’t know what this old nut is rambling about, but the protests in Minneapolis are real enough for the MAGA-verse media to descend upon them.”

No, saying "That's what I voted for" meaning a vulgar gesture from Trump in public is not a violation of forum rules.

And in the Father Trump thread, Hell Toupee said "This is what I voted for!" (this being giving the finger in public).

Folks, this our President, who made history today being the first POTUS ever to give anyone the finger in public.

Wait. Aren't you the same guy who started at least 5 threads about me in this forum and for a period of time mentioned me in a post almost on a daily basis and who also @'d me probably a couple dozen times? You even referenced me specifically in the thread title of your Father Trump thread and then kept it there for over a month. And now, you, of all people are complaining about being quoted or tagged? You can't make this stuff up. If being quoted or tagged by me bothers you so much, why don't you utilize the ignore feature? If you did, then you wouldn't see any time that I quoted you or happened to @ you. Just sayin'.

After last night's impressive win, I think he deserves his own thread as I am sure he will be making a lot of news duing the next four years. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/new-york-city-election-results-9.6966833 New York City's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, calls out Trump in victory speech Voter turnout was highest the city has seen in decades The Associated Press · Posted: Nov 04, 2025 6:42 PM PST | Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York on Tuesday, capping a stunning ascent for the 34-year-old democratic socialist, who promised to transform city government to restore power to the working class and fight back against a hostile Trump administration. In a victory for the Democratic party’s progressive wing, Mamdani defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani must now navigate the unending demands of America’s biggest city and deliver on ambitious — skeptics say unrealistic — campaign promises. With his commanding win, the democratic socialist will etch his place in history as the city’s first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage and the first born in Africa. He will also become New York’s youngest mayor in more than a century when he takes office on Jan. 1. “The conventional wisdom would tell you that I am far from the perfect candidate. I am young, despite my best efforts to grow older. I am Muslim. I am a democratic socialist. And most damning of all, I refuse to apologize for any of this,” Mamdani declared to a roaring crowd at his victory party. He cast his win as a boon for blue-collar workers struggling to get by. “New York, tonight you have delivered a mandate for change,” he said, vowing to ”wake up each morning with a singular purpose: To make this city better for you than it was the day before.” He also addressed U.S. President Donald Trump head on. “New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and as of tonight, led by an immigrant,” he said, adding that, “If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him.” Trump appeared to acknowledge Mamdani’s challenges, posting ”…AND SO IT BEGINS!” on his Truth Social site. A commanding win More than 2 million New Yorkers cast ballots in the contest, the largest turnout in a mayoral race in more than 50 years, according to the city’s Board of Elections. With roughly 90 per cent of the votes counted, Mamdani held an approximately 9 percentage point lead over Cuomo. [...]

Users it?

You are right. That is you. Any mention of a gay man or a lesbian is irresistible bait for you to make an anti-LGBTQ slur. You hate LGBTQ folks as you have proven once again.
