"I'm shocked they want to silence the voice of MAGA," Bannon told ABC News in regards to Tuesday's news.

If he was so worried about MAGA's side not being heard, maybe he should have responded to the subpoena and shown us.

And here I thought that "masks during a pandemic makes equivalent to Jews wearing a gold star" (was that MTG or Boebert? I know it was one of them) was the stupidest thing tweeted/said like this.

Never expected to be proven wrong.

Putting $27k into GME was a ridiculous risk. Nice they got rich but unless they were already rich losing 27k is devastating.

Right? That's like 90% of the annual median income in Kentucky.

Must be nice to just have a year's salary to gamble with.

So if a person commits enough crime and/or is old enough that a prison sentence would result in them dying of old age while in prison, can we just never convict that person?

Thats yet another real hot take from the law and order (TM) party!

You wouldn't think so. After all, we still have, I think, a policy on extradition for 90-yo nazis when we find them, to ship off for trial.

But... rich white dude, I guess?

Does the IDF have a UCMJ like we do, that would outline their responsibilities and obligations to defy/refuse to obey an unlawful order?

Oh, God. I heard that in his voice.

SMT is ok, but i should have specified, hi-scifi. Like Star Trek. Not so much like Cyberpunk.

How do you define "hard" sci-fi, exactly? I love Trek, in all its flavors, but if someone asked me to recommend them hard sci-fi, I'd say to go watch something like The Expanse.

You can't exactly call Trek soft or space opera, it's not like that space wizard franchise, after all. But I've just never filed it away in my mind as a "hard" sf series.

Also could be other things. Stones/crystals in the urine, persistent/chronic infection in the kidneys or the bladder...

But I hope it's just behavioral and more easily cured than the other solutions.

We had this happen with a cat I had while growing up. On top of her being very unfriendly. She was abused. (I'm not accusing you of anything.)

In order to help quell that, the vet actually gave us human valium tablets (quartered down or more--I can't quite remember how small we had to cut the pills) that solved most of the issue of her spraying everywhere.

She lived with us until she was almost 16, and passed from old age, loving (in her own stand-offish, traumatized way) and loved.

Really?

Look, having nuclear my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart you know, if youre a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world its true! but when you're a conservative Republican they try oh, do they do a number thats why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because were a little disadvantaged but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me it would have been so easy, and its not as important as these lives are nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners now it used to be three, now its four but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they havent figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, its gonna take them about another 150 years but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.

Come on. Be better. We've had months of people in other topics saying stuff with the sentiment of, "Fuck Israel." It's been made painfully clear that such a statement is based on power and politics and policy, aimed at the government operating those levers of control.

It was by no means a statement against the average person on the street in the UK any more than someone in the I/P threads is making that statement against the average person on the street in Israel.

With as much fat, oil, and grease that is in his diet, I wouldn't be surprised if he floats back to the surface and drifts to shore on the current.

Wouldn't be the first time someone in Florida was told they were legally allowed to vote, and then someone came around saying they weren't.

Different reasons. But goddamn if the echo doesn't sound nearly the same.

therefore, either hillary clinton is right and the protestors don't know history, or the protestors really are anti-semitic

This conclusion is flawed.

It's drawn from the assumption that (1) protestors, as a movement, are "rooting for hamas," and that (2) the river-sea chant means only the things you're ascribing to it.

Those are assumptions are deeply incorrect.

Add New Vegas to your playlist. It's to good to miss.

1) I'm terrified of the precedent "federal worker can only be tried in federal court" sets in light of another federal "employee" who wants his state criminal charges moved to federal court.

2) I'm also deeply tired of isle arguing what LEOs find "reasonable" in the execution (pun intended) of their duties, because it never seems actually reasonable.

Don't throw packages is taught day one of training so lmao at the courier

Sure, it's taught. But what kind of work culture and metrics are enforced on the regular that would make this the better choice than getting up and down in your truck, or pulling down the ramp to drag the dolly and stack the trailer right?

This kind of shot happens because the bosses set expectations that are inconsistent with the training given and then blame drivers and loaders for doing what they have to in order to keep those jobs.

Worked in a distribution center years ago and watched stuff like that happen on the daily, for those exact reasons.

Also, Dana White can go fuck himself in general. You have better things to do, I hope, than ruin some dude's job. And that goes for anyone filming and posting for the express purpose of costing someone their job. He wasn't endangering anyone, which is about the only justification anyone should use to pull this.

I'd say at least there's 2 holes to assist with the second fuck hole function but these fucks will ban sodomy federally as soon as they can

It'll be a sodomy ban on the books, but they would never think to enforce it on straight couples. That word only means "gay" to them and not what actual sodomy is defined as.

Casinos in Las Vegas had an idea to create a database to track cannabis usage/legality, since it was a product of interest, at the time, while Nevada was debating/voting on the issue, and it was worth tracking for the sake of potential revenue interests.

And even THAT proved to be, ultimately, too large and inconsistent of an undertaking.

So just imagine literally tracking pregnancies on a federal level.

If capitalism can't do it, do you really think the government can? </s>

And I thought the handmaiden SCOTUS justice would be the first to openly, 'Under his eye," on some federal document, but this nutter beat her to the punch.

In a report to Congress, the State Department said it hasnt verified specific instances that would justify withholding military aid.

I'm at the point where I'm going to assume it has been deliberately left unverified.

we do not currently assess that the Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise restricting the transport or delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance" under the Foreign Assistance Act, the report said.

Read the act again, then read a goddamn newspaper. We have one of the most sophisticated intelligence gathering apparatuses in the world, if not the most.

It's absurd to think they could assess something so badly and in contradiction to reality as a matter of the system making that conclusion.

darkace77450 posted...

oted that results in the field, "including high levels of civilian casualties, raise substantial questions" about whether the Israel Defense Forces are "using them effectively in all cases."

Doublespeak. The excuses get worse the more they talk and the longer this article goes on.

darkace77450 posted...

The report also pointed to limitations as far as U.S. access to information from Israel. While Israel provided some information "on request" about specific incidents related to targeting decisions and battled damage assessments, more details are needed, the report said.

If our allies, and allegedly one of our closest and most stalwart allies, is unwilling to share accurate intelligence gathered from the field, why is no one asking whether or not they're still our stalwart ally?

Iran was sharing more details with us before Trump ripped up the nuclear deal than we're getting from Israel about their operations... and somehow our state dept is hunkey dorey with that? What the actual fuck is our government at this point?

We're almost pretending less than Israel that the obvious isn't going on. And Israel hasn't really been bothering to pretend for months.

Does that mean they reject the charter and have withdrawn their membership from the UN?

I understand the purpose of symbolic gestures. Shredding the cease fire agreement that went through would have made appropriate (but still morally wrong) political theatre. Shredding the charter they're a signatory of? Isn't that like burning your passport and renouncing your citizenship?

To raise enough cash to make the deal happen, Golden Gate sold off Red Lobster's real estate to another entity in this case, a company called American Realty Capital Properties and then immediately leased the restaurants back.

Isn't that how Toys R Us died? Forced to rent their own property because venture capital bought and sold it to itself?

You can curate a YouTube feed that isn't totally garbage. Mine's a decent mix of background study music, progressive/liberal politics, and non-ampersand gaming content. There's a little atheist tube and book tube mixed in there for good measure.

I rarely get garbage. (I also never engage with the comments section.)

I would add total demilitarization (with the presence of a neutral third party peacekeeping force) of Israel for at least a generation or two to that list; with them being limited to a Japan style genuine self defence force afterwards. It needs to be for an extended time to ensure not even a trace of their current military's attitudes and worldview remain.

I like that, too!
