  1. 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
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. What do you base that on? I simply asked why Niger wasn't on the list. How is that question racist?
  5. So? And what is your point?
  6. Yeah, Guess Dey Color.
  7. 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.” [...]

    Do you Noah Knigga

    Noah Knigga's last name is pronounced "Ka-nay-guh" (kə-NAY-guh), with the emphasis on the second syllable, a pronunciation clarified by the athlete himself in interviews with Robert Griffin III, despite its spelling.

    Jimmy Kimmel fired

    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).

    Trump's World (News & Discussion) Trump at Davos!

    Folks, this our President, who made history today being the first POTUS ever to give anyone the finger in public.
  14. 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'.
  15. 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.

    https://x.com/NYCMayor/status/2010862811073675276 I am outraged to hear a New York City Council employee was detained in Nassau County by federal immigration officials at a routine immigration appointment. This is an assault on our democracy, on our city, and our values. I am calling for his immediate release and will continue to monitor the situation.
