    We’re about to see “cop sliding a baggie of weed into a suspect’s coat” for international politics.

      cops ‘found’ a dirty pipe screen in the trunk of my car one night… like… who the fuck would put a weed pipe in my trunk ever, much less lose the screen from it?

      luckily the DA threw the case out because it was absolutely obviously bullshit

        Nah, the DA threw it out because they knew it wouldn’t get a conviction.

    The president declined to provide information on who owned the tanker or its destination when asked by a reporter.

    Just being this transparently evil

    Also

    “We’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela — a large tanker, very large, the largest one ever seized actually,” Trump said during a meeting in the Roosevelt Room at the White House.

    This man’s brain is almost exclusively synonyms for the word “massive”

    The US conducted a “judicial enforcement action on a stateless vessel” that was last docked in Venezuela, according to a senior Trump administration official.

    No further notes from the US in this article, but, “stateless vessel” is a heavy lifter here that gives any country “legal” authority to intercept it.

      US: I am the law volcel-judge

      (Or at least the “rules based order” which the US keeps promoting over international law. Their rules that is.)

        The rules based order: the US makes the rules and issues the orders.

          You just grab them by the tanker, when you’re the rules based order/consensus, they let you do it.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
