angling for a pardon
That's all I'm seeing nowadays.

It would definitely be up there if the numbers were number of deaths to population ratio.
It's like watching someone getting beaten with a baseball bat in public, in full view of everyone .... and everyone gave that someone a spiked baseball bat
Just made a slight correction there.
If no one is in charge then he's in charge.
Thanks, very interesting.
How much money was offered for the pardon
I guess they are riding on the fact there’s famine and the captives are starving as well. Marketing done wrong if you ask me.
This conversation has gone sideways really fast. I'm confused.
Absolutely, they should call it what it is instead of sugar coating it.
Thought this might be interesting for some:
The term dates to 1812, when Massachusetts Gov. Elbridge Gerry signed a bill redrawing state Senate districts to benefit the Democratic-Republican Party. Some thought an oddly shaped district looked like a salamander. A newspaper illustration dubbed it “The Gerry-mander” — a term that later came to describe any district drawn for political advantage.
You're absolutely right, crimes of this scale almost defy comprehension, and trying to weigh them feels both necessary and impossible. It’s horrific to realize this is all happening in real time, in front of us yet, as unthinkable as Gaza is, it’s tragically not isolated. Places like Sudan and Mali etc are also facing famine and conflict, often unfold off the front page. It’s overwhelming, but I believe that bearing witness, and refusing to look away even when our understanding falls short, is still essential.
