Isn’t it obvious? President Xi publicly ordered the Chinese military to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2026.

This is crazy. The FBI was already a heavily conservative organization and now he’s dragging it into MAGA-only.

Okay, by bypassing regulations and illegally shutting down agencies instantly instead of sunsetting them to give time for nonprofits to fill the gap, Musk caused the death of tens of thousands of people who relied on food aid and lifesaving HIV meds. His degree of badness is worse than most people in the world.

What nonsense excuse is this? “There’s other bad people out there too, so don’t condemn this one?”

He could declare victory and go home. Brag that he forced Ukraine into talks and that he stopped Ukraine from joining NATO and got some small land gains.

How can I monitor her too?

You mean; imagine you were a Palestinian citizen and religious fanatics came into multiple West Bank towns in summer 2023 and set them on fire, and it turns out the Israeli government actively supported the attacks and sent the military to back those settlers and shoot any Palestinians who fought back against the settlers. What would be your response and expectation?

It always amazes me how Israelis act as if October 7 happened completely out of the blue unprovoked. The first 9 months of 2023 was the deadliest year for Palestinians in 20 years with over 240 dead, and the Israeli government refused to prosecute any settlers and instead armed them further. Even the Pope got involved in September 2023 to formally condemn Israeli settlers for vandalizing churches and Ben Gvir defended the attacks saying it was revenge on Christian anti-semitism. Every Palestinian was aware of these attacks, even Hamas threatened to retaliate if the attacks on West Bank towns didn’t stop and Netanyahu decided to do respond by further increasing settler support.

There’s plenty of assassins out there but the secret service does a good job of blocking the public from getting at him. I’m sure he gets many credible death threats and there’s many would-be assassins; they just haven’t gotten close enough to be considered attempts.

“If we end apartheid then it’s the end of South Africa!”

“If we don’t exterminate the Jews then it’s the end of Germany!”

We’ve heard this before.

Trump still got third place among Muslim voters, but the genocide made Jill Stein almost beat Harris in that community.

She made an imaginary rule in her head that she had to copy 100% of Biden’s polices no matter how unpopular.

The Democrats were offered a total reset from Biden’s unpopularity and instead decided to repeat it all. It was incredible how they threw away what should have been an easier victory.

It’s incredible. I protested against him in 2006 for his war crimes, and now he’s come around to admitting they’re happening.

I don’t know what it is with Israeli PMs. Ariel Sharon, himself a convicted war criminal, agreed at the end of his term that pulling out of Gaza was the only way to save Israel and keep their West Bank settlements. Olmert succeeded him and now admits Israel does war crimes. Does that mean in 2050 Netanyahu will admit war crimes took place and that he was against them?

Because Trump pressured Romania to let him out and he fled the country. Now a different court has to start all over with a different case.

Edit: the article says he returned to Romania to face the charges, as a show of bravado to claim that innocent men don’t run. The UK prosecution said “the domestic criminal matters in Romania must be settled first”.

If only he did it properly. The better way to do it would have been via Congress.

Canada has a law that allows cashiers to round up or down. Without this, the US is only making a penny shortage, and you better believe customers will be screaming at cashiers for “stealing their money” if they don’t get their cent back, or shrieking “it’s legal tender!” if cashiers don’t accept their Pennies.

Much easier to pull out after, and I can leave quicker despite taking slightly longer to pull in.

Settlers backed by the Israeli government created the violence that led to the current war.

According to Zionists, the number of Palestinians went up in the last few decades so it cannot be a genocide. By that logic, since the number of Jews worldwide has increased over the last century then they cannot have been victims of genocide either, right? /s

Trump is breaking all alliances. He wants Europe’s help on Iran and Israel and against China, but they won’t want to help if he’s attacking them. This is backfiring spectacularly.

That’s just the loudest voices, not the majority.

Haiti has a lot of lynchings of suspected gay people. Grenada and Barbados and Dominica still jail people for gay sex with long prison terms.
