Cut the man some slack; he was just confused when he didn’t see the hammer and sickle on the flag.

The actress is so good, the flash lasted for mere seconds, but when she said “I’m incorrigible too, only Mama doesn’t know it.” I was like, ding ding ding we have a sociopath on our hands, people.

Love the book and Big Little Lies was awesome but this series was a major letdown.
Slowburns can be good but not here. The pacing was offff. I knew from the first episode it was a dud just due to pacing. A pity because the casting was good and the talent wasted. Should have been six episodes and the storyline much…

China has a more principled objection of non-interference in foreign domestic affairs

two things:

There have been two referrals to the ICC since the Rome Statute entered into force, in 2002- Darfur (GWB); and 2010- Libya (Obama). Under GWB, the US abstained and so did China. That they didn’t veto the referral was considered a huge victory. For Libya, both the US and China voted for the referral.

That’s very nice of you to say and you are very welcome! ICC jurisdiction is difficult to understand for everyone, but anyone who took Civil Procedure in law school would tell you its complicated everywhere and that’s without throwing in the Security Council : )

They are asking that the case be referred to the International Criminal Court. Myanmar is not a state party to the Rome Statute (the treaty that governs the ICC and binds states parties), so the only way the Court could get jurisdiction is by the UN Security Council referring the situation to the ICC.* Basically, the…

Your comment is an insult to covens.

I completely agree. I do also believe that the US having a sociopathic clown for a president is problematic for the Rohingya as well. It would likely be a bridge too far to assume that a more progressive president would solve this crisis, but the current one has zero concern with the mass killing of Muslims. Couple…

Ugh, did anyone else see Aung San Suu Kyi’s quote in the NYT this weekend? She was asked about the genocide and deflected with a response about Rakhine state’s tourism potential.

Clay feet for miles, it turns out. 

I thought Hotel Burma was as Bogart classic.

I doubt even a UN declaration of genocide will jolt the US into caring about these fellow humans. It’s going to take a major motion picture.

I grew up on the border of Thailand and Burma. What is happening to the people of Burma is heartbreaking. The world needs to focus on this, not trump’s latest tweet. This is far more important and far worse than anything going on in America. I don’t know what to do to help. My aunt is “fostering” some children in…

At first I thought McCain was being super fucking classy to have two of his former adversaries eulogize him, and especially gracious considering that fuckery about W his daughter. It just occurred to me though that it is actually some next level shade and a final fuck you to have W have to give a speech at the same…

He said he likes to use it to show emotion.  He has also said that he knows the Rules of Capital Letters, but he ignores the rules to show how much he means what he’s saying.  If he were more intellectual, he’d rely on vocabulary.  But we all know that he’s a Fucking Moron, so this Utter Crap is what we get!!!1

No it was the first thing that hit me after seeing his twit....   He is such an fucktard.

I’m in awe of the staffer who had the balls to use this picture on Trump’s official feed. I can’t decide if this was an act of defiance or ineptitude. I realize it’s hard to find a flattering pic to use of their boss, but dear God. I’m surprised there’s not a mandate in the press office for all photos of the president…

Am I the only one who find the exclamation point in his posting rather galling He’s not the first 70-something guy I’ve encountered with a fondness for exclamation marks, but most people know not to put it in a condolence social media post or letter.

Trump is a failure at being human.
