"some countries [deem the film American Psycho] so potentially disturbing that it can only be sold shrink-wrapped", "critics rave about it" and "academics revel in its transgressive and postmodern qualities..."
American Psycho satirizes the narcissism, greed and insecurity of the corporate world, and the murders are a metaphor for the frenzy of the territorial male.

The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.
Lots of people are going to die.

Trump is turning the nation against him.
Trump's Approval Rating Drops to 36%, New Second-Term Low
President Trump: Immigration and Nationality Act, Section 212(f): “Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”
The impending attack on Venezuela itself, a remake of American Psycho, rebooted an imperialist franchise in the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine and hoping for an extortion payment in Petro-Crypto dollars.
Trump doubles down again, hoping a no-fly zone will divert our attention on Pete Hegseth, murderer in the name of MAGA and the ‘Donroe Doctrine’
Marco Rubio is the Colin Powell of Alexander Haigs
The United States has long tried to tip the scales around Latin America, where it has supported military coups, conducted covert operations and invaded Panama.
That U.S. foreign policy was often tied to ideology. During the Cold War, there was the effort to champion capitalism — even if it meant backing dictators. In recent decades, as attention drifted to wars and competition in the other hemisphere, the focus was on democracy and free trade in Latin America.
Mr. Trump’s approach appears purely pragmatic: What is in it for the United States?
Stronger control of the hemisphere, and particularly Latin America, promises major benefits. Ample natural resources, strategic security positions and lucrative markets are all in play.
Backed by a team of hawks with a long history in Latin America, most prominently Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Mr. Trump is overhauling U.S. policy in the region to try to extract those prizes.

The protest was part of an ongoing effort to urge consumers to boycott the airline after Avelo announced it had signed a contract in April to operate deportation flights with the Department of Homeland Security as part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

A no fly zone is a term often heard in news about international conflicts and security.
It might sound straightforward (an area where flights aren’t allowed), but it carries significant military and political weight.
A no fly zone is when a government or an international coalition declares that certain airspace cannot be used by some or all aircraft.
This concept has been used in wartime to protect people on the ground from air attacks.
It is also used in peacetime to safeguard high-profile events or sensitive locations.

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

It may take some time, but Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as a war crime or outright murder.”
If the SecDef issues an illegal order to kill both the SecDef and those who carry it out face criminal liability under US and international law. The UCMJ and international law hold that following an illegal order is not a defense; all involved share responsibility for war crimes or murder.
Hegseth illegally ordered everyone killed in the first alleged drug boat strike on Sept. 2, prompting a second hit to finish off survivors in the water. — This is the real reason why Trump & Hegseth absolutely freaked out about the video against illegal orders.

Death on the High Seas act (since 1920) - specific to the US. Other than that, international law, maritime law, and UCMJ articles 118 & 134. Basically, it’s a *universal prohibition*. I
