And? The point of Israel funding Hamas is that they would be able to continue attacking and thus let Israel continue disrupting the lives of Palestinians in both Gaza and West Bank, including expanding their illegal settlements. The entire point was to get excuses to keep destroying anything the PA tried to build as a government.

They’re also heavily funded with money from Israel, who wants them to keep fighting. Per Netanyahu’s own admission, Israel has been covertly supporting Hamas so that the PA can’t gain enough power to actually make a viable Palestinian state.

Even if Florida doesn’t go blue, the fact that it’s this close kinda acts as a barometer for the rest of the country.

I honestly expect him to be even worse behaving in the debate than previous times and spend the entire time just trying to insult Harris with sexist statements and the like, trying even less to answer the debate questions than he usually does (which admittedly isn’t much at all anyways).

I’m always more and more weirded out when plant-based foods try to mimic meat. Even to extremes like with Spam here. Just…why?

When, of course, civil rights has little to nothing to do with it. The current issues with the country in terms of economy, such as rampant inflation, is the result of the very policies conservatives have been extolling for generations. To go back in the manner they want would mean to reduce and revert the impact conservative policies have harmfully built up over the generations.

The good thing is that each usage thus far has only been in the narrow strips of hiding trees, so there’s no risk of a large fire breaking out. A lot of the people whining on social media about killing trees are purposefully ignoring that fact.

Yeah, “hit with” has always been bizarre passive voice wording. The executives in charge were the ones who actively decided to lay off people.

I mean, even if it had done well, I feel like they would still be laying people off anyways, just to pad out their end of year revenue presentations.

That’s some high tier psychological damage right there.

So the government can force you to go into surgery to remove something from your brain now?

Did you miss the massive protests going on for years when the US was doing the murdering? A bunch of people got arrested back then for daring to stand up to the US government.

We can always do more. One issue with the Uighur situation is China is doing a good job of preventing any info to get out on what they’re doing. If it was more blatant and obvious on the abuses they were doing, there would be more attention on it (like there was back when we did get some info on their activities originally).

We should push the US government to do more on all those subjects.

So you think it’s a fad for people whose relatives are being actively murdered right now? Do you know how dumb that sounds?

So, CNN didn’t actually do any background checking to make sure they were talking to actual undecided group members.

It’s funny that any time he speaks about policies he supposedly supports, we just instantly know that his position is completely vacuous and it’s entirely about how much power and prestige he is given. He doesn’t care about any of the issues, just about himself.

Which makes him a very good match for Trump, I suppose. I wonder if they’ll butt heads because of that.

Do you honestly think Biden or Harris will do much of anything other than the current lip service toward opposing Israel even after Trump loses?

These people are relatives of those the US is actively giving military aid to murder.

It’s hilarious that DeSantis praised her two years ago for her great community work for women and now he’s trying to backpedal with “but I didn’t know she was trans”. He really can’t help with his foot in mouth disease on every front.

I am honored that you’d break your 2 week fast of commenting on anything to comment here.

It’s the same time period that I posted yesterday’s thread. It had 30+ upvotes and multiple comments within half an hour. I did expect this post to get less traction overall, but I wasn’t expecting a combined lack of comments and massive down-voting.

Of course, considering the state of this group at the moment, with a bunch of threads posted trying to criticize any form of protest at the DNC, I suppose it’s rather telling where posters here stand on any form of criticism of this sort, even if minor.

How does the headline seem like any form of assault? It doesn’t even mention an assault. You have to read it to find out what it’s referring to. And it’s quite obvious from the first paragraph that the “worst way possible” is referring to people at the DNC trying to cover up and get rid of any form of opposing views.

Sounds more like you want to obfuscate, for some reason. Those “couple of assholes” should be called out, not glossed over.
