  1. Actually, we have an example: the West Bank. No Hamas in control there, just the Palestinian Authority, which denounces terrorism and recognizes the right of Israel to exist. How does Israel treat the Palestinians under their control there?
  2. If Hamas was gone tomorrow, what would Gaza look like?
  3. Is shooting journalists in the head, building settlements, etc necessary for Israel to fight terrorism or maybe could they stop doing those things and still fight it? Do they get free pass on all their actions because they are fighting terrorists?
  4. And then the irony of this tweet becomes apparent when it turns out the video that the Israeli government is providing as “proof” that it was a Gazan rocket hitting the hotel actually was timestamped 40 minutes after the actual explosion. And it was the same NYT he criticizes that discovered the Israeli propaganda. It’s almost like we should realize that both sides are putting out disinformation to drive their preferred narrative.
  5. Is this going to end up being a long winded way (with a significant amount of mental masturbation included) for the OP to “prove” that God* exists? If so could he just cut to the chase? *God = whatever flavor of religion, most likely Christianity, that he favors
  6. Pubs got their talking points, hearing a lot of “National Debt” and “Border Crisis”. Chickenshit interviewers not mentioning them voting for Trump tax cuts that added a ton to the debt.
  7. That response was killer. IE…try it Eileen and prepare to get benched slapped AGAIN on appeal.
  8. So he’s actually pro-choice but signs what amounts to a total ban on abortion because he’s beholden to the far right? Way to stand behind your convictions Doug. Great example of leadership, I guess oil billion$ still aren’t enough to buy an actual spine. Just because the other guys are wearing full on make-up, a wig, floppy shoes, and a flower that squirts water and all Doug has is a big red nose that honks, it doesn’t mean that he’s not a clown.
  9. The guy who signed a near total ban on abortion, has signed numerous anti-trans laws, banned CRT, and sent the North Dakota national guard to the border stays “completely out of the culture war bullshit”? He might not like to talk about it, but Id say his actions show that he’s marching lock step with the alt-right.
  10. Hmm….Chris sure didn’t have a problem with him exploding the debt when he campaign for him and ran his debate prep in 2020.
  11. I wish Jon would have asked him how much money Crowe had given him or if he had paid for his kids’ private school. The “I supported him until election night” was infuriating. Trump is the exact same person today that he was in 2020, 2016, 2010, etc. If Christie’s telling the truth and didn’t see that then he is the dumbest MFer on the face of the earth. I doubt that’s the case and he’s just another craven politician, who, as said, supported him be “team red”. Just own it.
  12. Saw it last night and thought it was great. I’ve been listening to the Last Podcast on the Left Manhattan Project Series (and recently finished a book on it) so that helped lay a background for me which helped a lot in following it.
  13. Formerly president, currently under felony indictment Donald Trump in the building.
  14. Ok, she's obviously crazy and has a white old women privilege thing going on, but isn't this an unnecessary escalation by the cop? He doesn't need her to sign the ticket, it literally doesn't change a thing if she doesn't, she still gets the ticket. And she's apparently not a danger to let go, he was going to do it if she just signed the ticket. But because she was a dick to him, he escalates to pull her out of the car, ends up tasing her which could end up in death in an old lady.

  16. Yep, they included a bunch of known republican loons including the state party chair, current and former state Reps and Senators, Turning Point COO and more. They conducted a ceremonial signing and sent the slate of “electors” to Pence to certify. Last year, the US attorney subpoenaed State Senate Pres Karen Fann (she’s behind the Cyber Ninja audit) for records and communications with fake electors and Trump officials. Nothing’s been done since.
  17. Reading elsewhere, it looks like replies to the tweet you’re may reading count against your limit, so if the tweet you’re reading has 10 replies that counts as 11.
  18. It’s Trump trying to take a great big ax to the Republic vs DeSantis with thousands of effective little cuts. Both end up trying to kill it (with a nonzero chance of success)
  19. I send my kids back to Kansas for a week every summer to stay with my parents. They’ve always been loving supportive, good people. Life long Republicans in the sense that they’d vote straight ballot because that’s what they were but never gave much thought, energy, etc to politics. Now the Fox News rot has set in and they went full on Maga and we don’t discuss politics whatsoever. Last summer when my kids called to let me know they had made it (couple hour drive from the nearest airport), my youngest asked me what the Let’s Go Brandon flag flying on their house meant. I had her put me on speaker and told her to ask my mom (who I don’t think I’ve ever heard say a curse word in my life). She him’d and haw’d around it until I finally made her say it including the fuck and why they wanted that on their house. We then had a conversation about if that’s the type of people they want to be, if that’s how they raised me, if that’s the example they want to set for my kids, and if that’s the type of people I want around my kids. That seemed to get through to them and the flag came down. We still don’t talk politics but my grandma (who hates Trump with a passion) told me that my mom told her that they’re supporting DeSantis (I know, no better), they wish Trump would just go away, and if it is Trump they just won’t vote. We will see when push comes to shove, but at least it seems like a start.
  20. This was on display in the Kari Lake trials in Arizona. Local council being basically a divorce lawyer plus the out of state elections attorney not having a clue as to AZ rules led to multiple entertaining instances of a frustrated judge lecturing council on the local rules. At one point Lake’s literally rested their case and then had to beg the judge to walk it back.
  21. Let’s not forget that Christie jumped on the Trump train early, helping to legitimize him as a candidate in 2016, and was on TV shilling for him during the 2020 campaign (and helped with his debate prep). Trump today is the same person he was 2016, Christie is just an opportunist.
  22. Why would a God who loves his creation and wants it to follow and worship him choose to give his followers scripture that, instead of plainly and clearly uniting and leading them to him, instead (and as illustrated by thousands of years of Christian history) is divisive to the point of leading, again and again to war death and destruction? All the suffering in the world could be stopped in an instant by God, but instead he chooses to sit back, watch, and do nothing.
  23. If large numbers of black and middle eastern men started to open carry (preferably in the suburbs), the GQP would change their tune on gun restrictions. Of course, a not insignificant number of those same black and middle eastern men would be killed by the police for exercising their 2nd Amendment rights.
  24. Huh, I thought we were supposed to keep politics out of sports. I guess we can all back to kneeling now.
  25. I just went and listened to this and her response (lack there of) was pathetic. Pretty disappointing of Jon (or Dan? Not sure?) to not push her harder on it. That’s being said, I’m sure the actual answer is “Yes, I would support it but if I say that I’ll never get re-elected in this backward ass county I live in.”
