“I don’t need international law,”

“I’m not looking to hurt people.”
When pressed further about whether his administration needed to abide by international law,

@scottmiller42@mstdn.socialOne thing I've taken note of is people are outraged about news items that I don't react to at all.

Part of this is my natural tendency to prefer to become very informed about a topic before I weigh in.
