Just a reminder, Israel and Hamas are not the only factions in Gaza
Tue Oct 17, 2023, 03:58 PM sarisataka (16,827 posts) Just a reminder, Israel and Hamas are not the only factions in Gaza Palestinian Islamic Jihad is also in Gaza. They are well supported by Iran and have close relationships with Hezbollah. PIJ has fired more rockets at Israel over the years than Hamas. Would they intentionally fire a rocket into a Christian hospital to either have blame fall on Israel or Hamas?
Rep. Rashida Tlaib has figured out who's responsible for the Gaza hospital strike.
Tue Oct 17, 2023, 02:59 PM Rep. Rashida Tlaib has figured out who's responsible for the Gaza hospital strike. It's President Biden. From a tweet of hers (no link to Twitter, but you can find it easily.) Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that. @POTUS this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire & help de-escalate.

"Condemning" the Hamas massacre.
Mon Oct 16, 2023, 07:03 PM "Condemning" the Hamas massacre. It seems there's a strain of thinking among some that is perfectly fine with condemning Hamas's deliberate murder of a thousand Israeli and foreign civilians, and supporting Israel's response, so long as Israel doesn't actually do anything about it. According to them, these are things Israel can't do, even while Hamas is still firing rockets and holding hundreds of hostages. (1) Bomb Hamas from the air without warning people first.

I understand the deep concern I see here for the population of Gaza. I don't know if anybody wants to see civilian casualties. I don't think Israel should go in and level Gaza. But for those who think Israel should not bomb or have troops go into Gaza to end Hamas' rule their. What should they do?

It's pretty disgusting how many people are minimizing murder, torture, rape, and kidnapping.
Response to BlueCheeseAgain (Original post) Mon Oct 9, 2023, 02:46 PM This always goes back to Antisemitism. It doesn't matter how much people deny it, their criticism of Israel is always grounded in Antisemitism. The fact that Jews have to get enhanced police protection in the US and Europe right now proves that. Jews in the US and Europe are not Israeli and have nothing to do with Palestinians.

Ron DeSantis Implodes
Ron DeSantis Implodes June 15, 2023 at 3:12 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 36 Comments https://politicalwire.com/2023/06/15/ron-desantis-implodes/ "SNIP......... Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) launched his presidential campaign last month with a lot of anticipation — and a lot of money — but it seems to have fallen flat. A new Navigator Research poll found that nearly half of voters who heard about the announcement — 48% — also heard it did not go well.

The museum’s press office confirmed the incident to CNN.
Thank You Jack Smith
Thu Jun 8, 2023, 09:02 PM Thank you for understanding the importance of TIME. Thank you for stopping the endless Trump appeals that took forever going clear up to the Supreme Court. Trump was smart to use attorneys to commit his crimes but Smith pierced Trump's attorney-client privilege by taking evidence of criminal activity to a judge using the crime/fraud exception which saved all of the time going to the SC. One big reason that Smith is having the trial in Florida is because of TIME.

So what should we do about shoplifting, from an ethical or politics perspective?
Response to BlueCheeseAgain (Original post) Wed May 17, 2023, 03:28 PM 2. I'm not sure societal ills are entirely to blame for shoplifting. After all, Winona Ryder, a wealthy, famous, and universally-adored movie star engaged in shoplifting. Swiped a bunch of stuff she could easily have afforded. Having said that, if we could reverse the staggering economic inequality in this greedy nation of ours, we could solve a lot of the problems that right now seem insurmountable.

Response to Scrivener7 (Reply #2) Tue May 16, 2023, 03:20 PM 5. This thread is an immature overreaction on my part. There's another thread on here where someone (not a DUer) takes Schumer to task for not pushing an assault weapons ban and basically saying the youth vote will stay home. I'm just a little tired of Dem-bashing (again, not by DUers) when the real problem is the GOP. Reply to this post Back to top Alert abuse Link here Permalink

It doesn't take too much imagination to see what something like that could be. Then we'll need a Presidential election like 1860 to push us to the brink. That, alas, doesn't take too much imagination to foresee, either. *Then* we'll be ready for Fort Sumter. And I hope things improve for you...
Vox: The dubious legal theory at the heart of the Trump indictment, explained
Tue Apr 4, 2023, 09:41 PM Link to article The actual felony counts arise out of allegedly false entries that Trump made in various business records in order to make the payment to Daniels appear to be ordinary legal expenses paid to Cohen. But Bragg built his case on an exceedingly uncertain legal theory. Even if Trump did the things he’s accused of, it’s not clear Bragg can legally charge Trump for them, at least under the felony version of New York’s false records law.

Why Did Disney Succumb To De Santis?....
Response to global1 (Original post) Mon Mar 6, 2023, 07:14 PM 4. I don't know they gave up that much We'll see what happens if DeSantis tries to interfere with content in the park or with content they are producing as a media company. Frankly, I don't like DeSantis's reasons for doing it but corporations creating their own local governments harkens back to a time when coal companies did it and I come from coal mining stock. I don't think Disney should have ever been granted it to begin with.
