Democrats ask Bribem to cede authority on nuclear launches

Democrats are now openly showing their distrust for the Alzheimer's patient they unloaded by hook and crook on the American people. If you stick your nose in the air you'll get a whiff of the 25th amendment.

Where was this ad during the campaign?

BTW... How do you think this looks to our enemies?

A group of more than 30 House Democrats is asking President Biden to give up his sole control of U.S. nuclear weapons.

In a letter led by Rep. Jimmy Panetta of California, the Democrats ask that their party’s leader alter the command-and-control structure surrounding America’s nuclear arsenal so that no single person can launch the weapons.

“Vesting one person with this authority entails real risks,” the letter states. “Past presidents have threatened to attack other countries with nuclear weapons or exhibited behavior that caused other officials to express concern about the president’s judgment.”

The letter suggests such changes to the command of the U.S. arsenal as requiring approval also from officials in the constitutional line of succession, specifically including the vice president and the House speaker, “neither of whom can be removed by the president if they disagree.”

The U.S. nuclear codes, carried in the famous ”football,” allow the president to launch America’s nuclear arsenal, a change that was made during the Cold War because nuclear weapons theoretically could begin and end a war within an hour, before there would be time to go through the traditional process of declaring war and mobilizing an army.

The nearly three dozen Democrats though more fear a U.S. president starting a war on his own.

“While any president would presumably consult with advisors before ordering a nuclear attack, there is no requirement to do so,” the letter adds. “The military is obligated to carry out the order if they assess it is legal under the laws of war. Under the current posture of U.S. nuclear forces, that attack would happen in minutes.”

Rape, torture of Muslim Uighurs in China shocks the conscience: US

We have all read and seen too many times in America, France, England, Israel, etc Muslim suicide bombers, shootings, stabbings, beheading people, including other horrific acts by ISIS when Barry was in the WH.

Here they are in action killing a dime a dozen.

Well, what I want to know is where is this Islamic outrage and retaliation from the 1.5 billion Muslims in the world for what's going on in China with the Uighurs? For once they have a legitimate reason to take action and they do nothing!

Got to love this line of shit. They lie so much they make Kim Jong-un look like Abraham Lincoln.

Right...and I believe they contracted Covid 19 from frozen Australian beef.

A BBC investigative report describing Chinese authorities' sexual violence and torture of Muslim Uighur women in Xinjiang has sparked outrage and calls for action across the world.

The reactions came as a "people's tribunal" was convened to examine allegations against China of anti-Uighur brutality, chaired by a British lawyer who led the United Nations' prosecution for war crimes of former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic.

"These atrocities shock the conscience and must be met with serious consequences," a U.S. State Department spokesperson said, reiterating the view of both the former and new U.S. administrations that China is perpetrating "genocide" against Uighurs and other Muslims.

"We will speak out consistently and jointly with allies and partners to condemn these atrocities, and we will consider all appropriate tools to promote accountability for those responsible and deter future abuses," the spokesperson said.

British junior foreign minister Nigel Adams said the BBC report reveals "clearly evil acts."

"The evidence of the scale and severity of these violations is now far-reaching, it paints a truly harrowing picture," he told parliament.

"This government is committed to taking robust action in respect of Xinjiang," he said, although the government has stopped short of invoking the term "genocide," arguing only U.K. courts can make that legal definition.

'The screams echoed'

In a lengthy investigation based on witness testimonies, the BBC reported allegations of systematic rape, sexual abuse and torture of women detainees by police and guards in China's western region of Xinjiang.

It described torture by electric shock, including anal rape by guards using electrified sticks. Women were subject to gang rape and forced sterilization, witnesses said.

"The screams echoed throughout the building," one was quoted as saying.

The report also triggered outrage from politicians in Australia, and new calls for China to grant access to U.N. rights inspectors to tour Xinjiang.

The region is home to the mainly Muslim Uighur minority and has seen a sweeping security crackdown by Chinese forces in recent years in response to separatist unrest and Beijing has signaled it will continue its crackdowns in Xinjiang.

Rights groups believe that at least 1 million Uighurs and other Turkic-speaking Muslims are incarcerated in camps in Xinjiang.

China is accused of compelling Uighurs to parrot Communist propaganda and renounce Islam, forcibly sterilizing women and imposing a regime of forced labor.

After initially denying the camps existed, China's government abruptly acknowledged them, saying they were vocational training centers aimed at reducing the appeal of extremism.

The Chinese foreign ministry dismissed the BBC investigation as "false."

Tribunal hearings

Last month, Britain and Canada announced new rules banning the import of Chinese goods linked to Uighur forced labor.

Meanwhile, the new tribunal was convened at the request of Dolkun Isa, president of the World Uyghur Congress, and is chaired by Geoffrey Nice, who prosecuted Milosevic in The Hague. The former leader died in 2006 before a verdict was reached.

There is no state backing for the tribunal, but Nice told reporters that such panels had played an important role through the 20th century in holding offenders to account, noting China would block any international prosecution by the U.N.

Its eight jurors intend to hear from more than 30 witnesses, mostly Uighurs who allege Chinese violence, and experts in international law.

The panel will hold two rounds of hearings in London, in May and September, with a view to publishing its verdict by the end of the year into whether China is guilty of genocide and/or crimes against humanity.

It has reached out to the Chinese embassy in London to participate, but has yet to receive any reply, organizers said.

"We will hope to persuade them that it is genuinely in their interest to provide us with information for our investigation," Nice stressed.

Another tribunal led by the British lawyer found last year that China continues to harvest the organs of executed prisoners, including those from Uighurs and members of the banned Falungong spiritual movement, despite official denials.
