Plus Trump on camera saying he'd do another Muslim ban and target other groups which will definitely be used in attack ads against Trump.

So Biden would get votes just because, despite people having huge issues with him, as evident by every single poll over the last 6 months to a year.

Again, ignoring the problem doesn't solve it. These same problems are why Trump was elected in the first place.

Well, yes.

Turns out being the party of freedoms and rights (Democrats) will get people to still vote if the other party wants to clearly do away with those rights (Republicans).

What? Everyone is saying it's no big deal. That's ignoring a glaring problem. If young voters opt out of voting in 2024, Biden loses all the ground he won in 2020.

If that was the case Virginia wouldn't have Democratic majority state legislature now. They got that because most young people are still voting Democrat and now in higher numbers than before. And during an odd year election where turnout is always lower than a presidential year.

This is how Hillary lost. Ignoring problems.

People aren't, hence why Democrats have been making gains in these elections EVEN when Biden, Harris and Pelosi campaigns for some candidates.

A lot of pragmatic Democrat voters are not doing what they did in 2016 which is trying to convince "terminally online" leftists to vote. The kind of leftists that complain about everything while not actually doing anything to help but then say they won't vote.

Oh I agree with you in that there are better ways rather than carpet bombing Gaza. But you are wrong in that not everyone is ok with the eradication of Hamas. Some people think of them of freedom fighters.

But the real crux is, how many civilian deaths are acceptable? We are talking about a terrorist group that keeps its HQ underneath the main hospital in Gaza City.

And prevents (even killing people) its civilians from fleeing to safety and admitted multiple times that Palestinian civilian safety is not their responsibility.

Turn it into Florida.

We already have Florida in California. It's called Huntington Beach.

For the most part isn't Hamas a terrorist group that operates primarily out of Palestine?

If a terrorist group came into Canada and murdered a bunch of people at a music festival I would expect my government to go after the terrorist group.

Not to mention said terrorist group killing and taking hostages: the victims being from a multitude of countries. Hence why the international dogpile against Hamas.

This is one of the incredibly rare times where I'm self aware enough to have no strong opinion on the matter precisely because of that reason. I don't know enough of the situation and even if I were to study up on the subject, I feel like it still wouldn't be sufficient. I just wish most people and especially celebrities could do the same.

After all of this, the simplest way I can boil it down to in my mind is this (my opinion, not fact): Palestine will never be free or liberated as long as Hamas exists. Learning that Hamas terrorizes its own people (Palestinians) whether as human shields, civilian areas as arms storage, I just don't see any hope for Palestinians with Hamas having control.

Hell, even the Palestinian president hates Hamas but can't do much about them.

You'd be surprised at how many people are conflating that Hamas=all Palestinians and Israel=all jews.

Basically people who have no idea how complicated the situation is and want to boil it down to a non-nuanced show.

Seen too many supposedly educated people throw the word "genocide" about Israel retaliating. Imo, if Israel wanted to eradicate Palestinians, they've could've already been done with it with how much more advanced its military and tech is compared to Palestine.

Too many chronically online people in leftist echo chambers are behaving like far rightists: Not double or triple checking sources, pleading towards emotion, spreading misinfo when more details come out and not even correcting themselves when more info comes out.

Especially since Hamas and the IDF do not have good track records of reporting the truth accurately.

This whole war definitely proved the saying: "A lie can travel the world in a minute while the truth is still putting its shoes on."

And people who should know better don't actually.

Courage and his sassy search engine could solve the mystery.

Can anything even happen in the House at all? Since the no Speaker thing House Republicans can't seem to resolve.

Cornel West has some respectability as one of the most prominent black intellectuals of our time (a time without that many prominent intellectuals to begin with). RFK Jr is a failson of an awful political dynasty that has most of its worshippers already dead of old age. But the media is giving him far too much oxygen.

Cornel West's momentum, if he had any, was permanently stopped when it was revealed he owed a crapton of money in back taxes and unpaid child support.

RFK Jr. keeps getting roasted by his own family and the Kennedy's still hold some political sway. Not as much in the past but enough to sink one of their own.

The uncensored version appeared on my timeline.

Lets just say, no one would regret having him as a sugar daddy.

Has it already been mentioned that this is from a 2019 spending bill that Trump signed and Congress (Republicans) refused to changed how the money could be spent?

It's been at least 10 years since I've thrown up. I have been nauseous a few times but nothing more than that.

It's not a hypocrisy, it's a consistent belief that the government should serve their interests and hamper the interests of others.

Hence why you see Republican voters support things that would help their lives, but when it's mentioned that Black people would also benefit, they suddenly become against it.

Dying of whiteness is a real thing for Republican voters who's primary base is White people.

Was I the only one who wasn't really moved by Sabine and Ezra reuniting?

I have a bad feeling the crab people are gonna get slaughtered by the bandits Skoll seems to be temporarily recruiting. Then Sabine has to explain how exactly she got to that galaxy and Ezra rightfully getting annoyed that his sacrifice meant almost nothing.

The show is making it really difficult for me to root for Sabine.

Will anyone but Muskrats sign up for this?

I get the annual booster

A lot (majority) of people can't be assed to do this anymore due to all the covid vaccine misinformation and disinformation. I'm not a parent, but hearing fathers and mothers say they won't get their booster shots when they got newborns in the house or on the way just drives me up a wall.

Despite the fact the updated booster vaccine is free even to those uninsured and under insured.

And there is a disturbing amount of people who would rather have Trump be president than Biden run again because they think Bernie is going to somehow come in and not face the same Congressional lockup that Biden is facing.

That and when asked, people can't name a legitimate replacement for Biden. People wanting to give up the incumbent advantage tells us everything they know about politics which is nothing at all.

Paxton really fucked over Republicans in his corruption scandals and they still couldn't vote to impeach him.

Texas Republicans are nothing but bitches (derogatory). Apologies to female dogs.

Ahsoka definitely has her trademark move in fighting other lightsaber wielders. Her being able to disarm and turn the blade back on prime version Anakin/Darth Vader solidifies that.

They definitely spent time on the lightsaber choreography and it shows.

Lots of subtle changes amid the huge stuff happening in this episode. Such as Ahsoka having the sith eyes for a split second on deciding to kill Darth Vader to her personality becoming more lighthearted after she wakes up.

He really needs to be reminded of how ugly he is especially with that forehead.

Sabine has just given the ball map away for the second time for not listening to Ahsoka.

Next time they have saber training, I'm going to need Ahsoka to whack Sabine a few times with those sticks.

Doom_Art posted...

I actually loved that lol

Anytime creators twist the knife on the fandom when it goes overboard with speculation

Also the fact that he didn't just die but fucking exploded lol

That and it shows just how much Ahsoka just completely shits on the Inquisitor fighting style and techniques. There's a good reason why she is the Inquisitor exterminator.

But Sabine, she done pissed me off this episode.

Been there once for a business trip. Didn't get to see much because of that. Only was in Manhattan.

BRICS is basically a group of frenemies banding together to accomplish nothing since they're stuck more on the enemy part of frenemy.

Meanwhile, the USA is mending its relationship with Vietnam. Not to mention Biden being able to get the main leaders of Japan and South Korea to form an allyship on good terms.

Do Trumpers know this? They're the majority of Republican voters.

"I really don't care, do u?"

When it comes to BIPOC and LGBT+ people willingly siding and representing Republican views, I don't care what happens to them. They are quite literally with the group that wants them gone in some way or another. They eventually learn FAFO the extremely hard way.

is captain falcon good in competitive smash

He is viable in all but one Smash game (Brawl, he was hilariously bad in that game).

In Smash 4, his dash grab was essentially a teleport grab with how much distance he would get and how active the frames were.

In Ultimate, he's considered high tier due to his sheer stock exploding nature and momentum carry. All he needs is one dair to knee true combo and congratulations, you died at 40 or 50%. The issue is Steve, Aegis, Snake and Min Min literally tell him "no, stop trying."

Well, White people should stop voting for Republicans in significant numbers. That's the simplest solution. They're the only demographic that votes Republican for in that much of a significant margin.

We really need someone to just roll Abbott near a steep downslope hill and let gravity take its natural course. That man is evil personified.

The gofundme bail page for whoever does this would meet the goal pretty fast.

Isn't this actually bad for Sinema (I)? She's counting on Republican crossover votes but Kari Lake has the R next to her name. Lake jumping in the pool will probably help Gallego out a lot in winning.

He seems quite unwell.

I enjoyed the both FFX games and FFXIII games.

Don't have a PC that can play it, so I have a month left before the PS5 version.

Floozy.

Republican leadership has pretty much said to take down DeSantis at this point.

Dude can suffer another heat stroke, hopefully a more serious one.

Shit like this needs to be handled the moment that genocidal venom comes out their mouth. A quick punch to the throat would definitely have them thinking twice. But, I understand not wanting to lose a job over it.

I remember Quistis having almost no lines during disc 3.

Okay. I've maintained for a while that Musk is a man of average intelligence who got massively overhyped and ended up with an ego to match. But this is a proposal so smooth-brained that I'm reconsidering. I still think he used to be of average intelligence but he's clearly had a mental decline as of late. He can't have been this dumb all the way.

I'm of the belief that he was always this dumb but having very high class status, wealth and privilege allowed him to skate past learning that actions have consequences.

Hell, even his own dad (who is a horrid mess), called out El*n on his biography where he lied that he was bullied in school.

Dude is really quite incapable of good business decisions. The Elon yes men crew at Tesla had to constantly be working overtime I assume...

Right now the majority is Democrats.

Orange County in California is still purple-ish. However is trending blue at a very fast rate. Faster than Republicans were expecting.

Why is it that the Republican Florida state legislature is so afraid of DeSantis? Outside of Florida, everyone including Republicans treat him like the pathetic bobblehead that he is.

Anyone outside of Ukraine who calls for them to make territorial concessions can fuck right off. Especially in light of the horrific war crimes the Russians have committed in occupied territory.

This war has really exposed people who claim to be anti-imperialist or pacifist are actually just plain dumb. These types of people are saying Biden and the West are warmongering for WWIII...

People really choose to be ignorant to geopolitical issues when it comes to thr USA and its enemies.

Both. And that stupid racist third rate football coach is stopping military promotions meaning key leadership positions in the USA military are empty...which is very bad.

Talk about not knowing your own clientele.

You would probably want a trans person as a customer if you own a hair salon since they would most likely spend money on their hair.
