The point still stands. The 'gotcha' picture doesn't show he's touching the rock, his finger could be behind. And it's all fuzzy anyway. And more importantly, he got the official win regardless. Olympic athletes are always pushing the boundaries of the rules to get the edge - it's part of the tradition.

Up until trump, the doj was theoretically independent so as to create at least the appearance of judicial impartiality. Obviously it wasn't, but an attempt was made to have it appear so. Now trump is using it as a personal hit squad and that means it is lost to politics, probably forever. Doing the wrong thing for the right reasons would not have made Biden a hero.
Regardless, yes; probably bill clinton pressured them to not investigate Epstein too much.

Well, if the president pressured the doj to go after particular individuals (like the orange moron has done), then they could be accused of using the doj as a political revenge weapon (like the orange moron has done). In a perfect world, the doj would go after the elite criminals on their own, and they're was probably influence from lots of places (including top democrats) to not, and that is a problem of course, but not provable. But directing them to attack particular people is possibly worse as it threatens democracy.

Ya, but historically the potus isn't supposed to meddle with the doj. The doj should just be prosecuting who they feel broke the law and they have a case against, in a non political way.

Yup, there really is no hope of reversing or even mitigating the climate change catastrophe to follow. Best thing to do is to start moving people inland from the coasts, adjust building codes for better storm handling, and protect water sources.

But are they newspapers, or political propaganda units promoting violence and murder?

Anyone who is against pedophiles.

Well, indirectly, the person who programmed it, the one who gave it orders/instructions, and those that set up the rules of engagement. And AI targeting will fuck up plenty of times - probably more that human pilots initially, then less. It's a moral abyss, but it's where we're heading.

Or for breastfeeding while in battle.

Pilots and 5th generation jets are the crucial thing ... until they're not.
