    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    The media's not trying to snuff out online criticism, social media anger about health insurance and celebration of the executive's death has been a feature of a lot of coverage on news sites and networks. Sometimes I think FB Friend just makes stuff up.

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    The Palestinian Authority is cracking down on Hamas and Islamic Jihad linked terrorists in Jenin. Link One thing that stood out to me is they are raiding hospitals and searching ambulances. When Israel did this in Gaza the usual suspects cried genocide and said the IDF was lying about Hamas...

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    I think you need to change the address to twitter.com instead of x for it to show the actual tweet on this forum instead of just a link. That's so egregiously wrong and flies in the face of a key feature of the demographics of the Middle East (the near complete cleansing of Jews from everywhere...

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    Hmm, I don't remember anyone making the accusation of genocide saying it was a complicated matter before. You had one side saying Israel wasn't committing genocide and you had the other saying they clearly were. Now almost exactly a year after South Africa filed the initial charge the definition...

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    In the context of the Israeli/Iranian conflict whatever replaces Assad is unlikely to be another ally to Iran, especially after Iran and its proxy Hezbollah sent forces their to massacre Syrians. And the inability of Iran or Hezbollah to effectively prop Assad up or reinforce him is partially a...

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    Assad's regime has fallen and he has fled to Moscow. Link October 7th was a horrible disaster for Israel, but it wound up unleashing utter devastation on Iran's "Axis of Resistance" as one after another of those dominoes topple. One of the all time hug around and find out moments in history...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    What is the strong legal underpinning? Admittedly not a lawyer, but I don't see how from an originalist viewpoint Obergfell isn't the same as Roe v Wade in being an invented right from a novel reading of an old established text. Three of the six conservatives on the Court voted against Obergfell...

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    Netanyahu recommends Cabinet votes yes on ceasefire deal with Hezbollah. Still developing, but seems very likely to happen even if some of the extreme members of his coalition grouse about it.

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    lol, no we don't. As for the ICC, considering some 40 miles from it Jews were being openly chased and beaten in the streets in a manner not seen in Europe since the Nazi era, please spare me your smug self-righteous fiction that "the world" is in any position to judge the United States of...

    Maybe a gig on Fox News, if all their hosts are staffing the admin they're going to have openings.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I dunno, elements of MAGA are pushing Lara Trump so unless Donald personally tells him Gaetz I don't see what would be in it for DeSantis. I don't think DeSantis/Gaetz are tight enough for him to do a big solid like a Senate seat for the guy. DeSantis will be termed out in a couple years, maybe...

    Hopefully his exit from Congress is permanent, but that'll probably just turn into a monkey paw's wish thing where he goes onto something bigger.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Fetterman knows very well from running against him that whatever genuinely impressive medical accomplishments Dr. Oz had in the past, he devolved into a kooky snake oil salesman. So "as long as he promises..." is taking the moderate bipartisan shtick a little far.

    It was worse than that, because several hours later on that same day she got asked essentially the same question by Stephen Colbert and still couldn't answer it. Now, I don't know how many people watch those shows or were impacted by them, I'd be willing to believe not too many, but it was...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    You essentially said Deathy and people who voted like him should be executed lol But since you mentioned me, everyone's favorite non-MAGA conservative, I'd say ~80 million Americans including Hispanics, Asians, Muslims, etc voted for Trump at decades-setting record rates, excluding them is a...

    Personal Insults

    Was skimming the rules but didn't see anything that addressed this (sorry if I just missed it somewhere.) What are the rules on personal insults? I thought that was strictly regulated, but was that a bygone era of the forum back when it had warning ratings, etc? Because I see people doing it in...

    Anti-Semitism

    There's a fair amount of gaslighting from the pro-Palestinian side about this pogrom, downplaying it as just being about anti-Zionism or a clash between soccer hooligans. But the attackers were pretty open about what they were doing. And local authorities have few doubts. Link 60+ arrests...
