| 6ixStringJack: Why do you insist on clogging the tags up with your TDS and making your mental problems everyone else's problems? |
| 6ixStringJack: "War crime" according to who? The people who want America dead, or the people who just fuck us over after we bleed for them? Did you not get the memo yet? The world you thought you were living in 2 years ago is dead and never coming back. |
| 6ixStringJack: "6ixStringJack wrote about splitting hairs." Oh yeah? How so? Trump said something which you don't approve of, and I said I VERY MUCH APPROVE OF IT. How is this splitting hairs? Do you even know what splitting hairs means? |
| second: "6ixStringJack wrote about splitting hairs." It should come as a surprise to no one that the leader of the free world might be actively considering — and perhaps eager to carry out — direct attacks on civilians or civilian infrastructure in Iran. This is how he thinks. This is what he does. And these days, he’s got an obliging coterie of staff willing to indulge those brutish impulses. You needn’t be a law of war expert to render judgement on Trump’s threat this week. If he wants to bomb power plants and clean-water facilities, seemingly to punish the Iranians as a way to get leverage over the regime, it’s obviously immoral. But there’s also a term in international law for deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure to inflict suffering on a population. That word is “war crime”. [go to link] |
| 6ixStringJack: It's not as if this would happen en masse. Once word got out that it happened to a few people, we'll never have an illegal trying to enter our borders again as long as we don't revert to being pussies like you. |
| 6ixStringJack: I agree. Shoot them in the kneecaps. It's what John Conner would have wanted. Just make sure we don't take them in and put them in our hospitals after the fact. |
| second: "6ixStringJack wrote: Shut up, loser." We were in the Oval Office for what was supposed to be a short chat about opioids getting smuggled across the border, and Trump unspooled again. Red-faced and clearly frustrated, he complained that the troops at the border were ineffective because they couldn’t use deadly force. Reminded that he couldn’t kill unarmed civilians, Trump pitched another approach.
“Then shoot them in the legs if you have to!”
His outburst silenced the room.
By the look on his face — and the looks on ours — Trump hardly needed to be told what we thought. It wasn’t the last time the topic came up, and the President seemed aware he was playing with fire. At one point, he eyed me on the couch, jotting down a meeting summary.
“I don’t want any f**king notes,” he snapped. “Stop taking notes.”
I dutifully obliged and closed my notebook. Of course he didn’t want any documentation. He didn’t want essays like this to be written in the future. [go to link] |
| 6ixStringJack: Shut up, loser. |
| 6ixStringJack: Shut up, loser. |
| second: "6ixStringJack wrote: You're such a loser, dude." 6ix knows not what is legal, but neither does Trump. Trump proposed, on more than one occasion, having authorities fire upon the migrants. What better way to deter them than to kill some of them? When told that using deadly force against unarmed civilians was illegal, Trump bristled, as if we were weak-willed. We scrambled to get in touch with the Pentagon to have them remind Trump about the rules of engagement and that shooting civilians, whether they were clutching stones in their hands or not, would be unlawful.

| 6ixStringJack: You're such a loser, dude. |
| second: In private, Trump has plans for unspeakable violence. I know because he told me.
There’s a particular kind of horror that comes from watching a powerful man describe — in clinical detail — how he wants to hurt innocent people. - Miles Taylor, Former chief of staff of the US Department of Homeland Security, April 03, 2026 The only thing standing between his fantasy and its execution is a room full of aides, scrambling to remind him what is illegal and what is not.

| second: Contrary to what President Trump has said to justify his decision, the intelligence showed that the Iranian regime was not preparing to use a nuclear weapon; it did not have ballistic missiles capable of reaching the United States; and in response to a U.S. military attack, Iran was likely to strike at neighboring countries in the Persian Gulf and try to close the Strait of Hormuz, precipitating a global economic crisis. All of this was known before the war and presented to President Trump. The U.S. intelligence community is neither designed nor equipped to restrain a president who is moved by impulse, emotion, and his own feelings. It can only provide him with information. When the president disregards what he’s told, or distorts it, that failure is his alone. [go to link] |
| 6ixStringJack: If you think for one second Iran wouldn't be knocking out every power station in America if they had the means to do it, you're a goddamned idiot. |
| 6ixStringJack: Oh shut the fuck up. |
| second: Trump’s aides have been telling him Iran’s civilian infrastructure is a legitimate wartime target, despite the understanding among experts that such attacks are illegal. A White House official added that destroying electric plants could foment civil unrest, which would in turn make it more difficult to produce a nuclear weapon.
Ryan Goodman of Just Security commented: “That would be an F on a bar exam.” He observed, “This isn’t legal analysis. It’s idiocy.” [go to link] |
6ixStringJack: Love it!  |
| second: Trump to Iran: "Open the Fuckin' Strait" or face bombing Tuesday
[go to link] Are you getting the feeling that Trump is mentally unraveling? Maybe this Trump quote on Sunday will convince you: "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah." |
| second: Trump requests an additional $500 billion dollars for the Pentagon's annual budget and 6ixStringJoker's flippancy is "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah..." I believe 6ixStringJoker might not be aware of how much money half trillion dollars per year is nor is he aware of how to win a war with Iran. Winning in Iran is NOT about destroying maternity hospitals, kindergartens, and power plants. The USA did that in Vietnam but it didn't work for Nixon and won't for Trump. By the way, 6ix, Vietnam is still around and very much Communist, the very reason the USA attacked in the 1960's. If Trump wants to change Vietnam's government like he is trying to change Iran's, bombing it back to the Stone Age is NOT the tactic to use. [go to link] |
| 6ixStringJack: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... |
