I’m all for bombing the shit out of a backwater theocratic regime that’s brutal to women and supports terrorism.
I just think we need to start with Saudi Arabia.
Oh cool, we're all going to die in third world torture prisons.
I'm not voting for any Democratic nominee for president who doesn't vow to do the same to corrupt SCOTUS justices.
The crimes of Imperial Japan were much more comparable to Israel than to Iran, simply in terms of scale. You can cry "human shields!" all you want to try to absolve Israel, but that will never explain this:
That wasn't self defense, it was ethnic cleansing and annexation. Quite a bit similar to what Imperial Japan did in Manchuria (though hopefully with less rape). The Iranian government are assholes, but they have never done anything comparable.
There isn’t a theory of victory. Bibi started this to distract from bad domestic news and he just hoped we’d join in once it started so he could keep it going indefinitely. Neither Bibi nor Trump are capable of considering tomorrow.
Yeah, so were like 100 people (allegedly) that swore out affidavits after the 2020 election swearing Biden stole it. And the claim that Allred actually beat Cruz makes everything else virtually impossible to believe all on its own. Allred ran a dogshit campaign.
This. Seems like enough to warrant an investigation on the technical side of things and if we could nail Peter Thiel for stealing elections I'd volunteer to be on the firing squad, but claims like "it's statistically impossible for all the blue wall states to flip" are ridiculous. Basically the same shit happens in every election, because voters in different states behave similarly. Swing voters in Pennsylvania and swing voters in North Carolina are influenced by the same media and thus tend to behave about the same. The answer to "how did he flip so many counties and she didn't flip any" is "that's what it tends to look like when one wins and the other loses." Maybe it hasn't looked exactly like it did in 2024 before, but that doesn't in itself mean anything, because you're bound to find something new in every election.
The old Constitutional order is already dead and gone. What remains to be decided is if we can rebuild something better, if we will suddenly collapse, or if we will just slowly fall apart as Republicans continue to rip the copper out of the walls.
Man, surely you know by now that much of federal criminal law arose in response to a refusal by many states to prosecute crimes committed by certain types of people against certain "lesser" types of people.
