  1. I actually don't know anything about this case, but good for her.
  2. translation: this is hard and boring and he doesn't feel like thinking about it anymore
  3. If it really was Iran's fault, are you admitting that all the civilian deaths in Gaza were war crimes?
  4. Good PSA for taking the meds
  5. Iran did 10/7 just like Saddam did 9/11 right?
  6. I hate when antisemitism and Russia bootlicking force Tucker Carlson to accidentally stumble upon a good take
  7. "Happy JUNETEENTH which freed the slaves, I assume. Slavery by the way never would have happened if I was president, believe me. Never would have happened. I would have said 'cut it out!' and they wouldn't have done slavery. They told me, 'Sir, please I need these slaves for my property. Don't set them free' 'No, we're not doing slavery. Set them all free.' But it's very sad what happened with the slavery. And some of the owners who were great people, it was very unfair to them, too, that their property was taken away. Treated very unfairly. Great people. But we can't have slavery. And we can't have political prisoners. No, I said 'set them free' unless they're criminal illegals."
  8. The next person who brings up 10/7 gets pistol-whipped
  9. And do you know why that happened?
  10. You can't strike another country unless that country is about to attack you first. Iran was not going to attack Israel, so as much as there are valid criticisms one could have about Iran, Israel's attack on Iran violated international law.
  11. Tulsi about to send "u up" to Hakeem Jeffries
  12. Beto + Bernie + Kendall Scudder doing some anti-oligarch townhalls across Texas. Very positive signs so far from Tex Dems' new leadership.
  13. I think he knows he's well past his prime and can't dictate terms anymore, wherever he ends up
  14. We can force a dead woman to become a child incubator, which is fine, but if anywhere a woman has to wear a hijab we need to invade that place
  15. Interesting take on "death to X" discourse
  16. Organized religious groups are only a few bad decisions away from being a cult. As with many thing is this world, organized religion is what you make of it. You can use it to wield power and victimize others, or you can use it as a moral compass to guide you in society and in building a strong and loving family. Invariably, assholes will find a way to do the former. But it's beautiful when people use that moral compass to extricate themselves from a predatory group. The ex-mormons in my life are easily among the kindest, most intellectually curious and genuine people I've known. I'm not going to say there's a causal relationship or give credit to the Mormonism, but I do think it's likely that the heavy emphasis on community has a tendency to cultivate a person's inherent selflessness and the repeated exposure to and analysis of its complicated lore has a tendency to cultivate a the expectation that almost everything has should have an explanation if you think hard enough about it (even if the explanation only makes sense in a fictional sense that their faith requires them to believe is real). Which is to say, in theory you could have all the benefits of Mormonism without all the exploitation, but in practice it's probably impossible to achieve.
  17. When they don't say why it's usually accidental overdose or that other thing.
  18. I'll take the nuclear annihilation, please
  19. Yeah. I don't want his clots to be career-ending
  20. They need to hurry up and reach the acceptance phase that they got and will get fleeced on KD.
  21. Yes but he says a lot of stupid shit that he doesn't necessarily follow through on. While I have no respect for anyone in his inner circle or in his cabinet, not all of them are war hawks and I think they're working overtime to convince him not to drag the Americans into another forever war.
  22. I think they still are waiting to see whether saner heads will prevail, so I don't think they want to do anything that drastic yet. They should be focused on defense, without escalation, and take the next chance to resume the peace talks that Bibi's illegal attack derailed.
