This tells me Europe is our greatest ally for retaining our democracy.

To be a valid military target, a person must be a combatant actively engaging in armed hostilities against the US (as in an armed organized fighting situation).

It wonโ€™t end up hurting anyone. And thatโ€™s the problem.

And there you have it - her apologies meant nothing, and her blame on falling victim to propaganda was a lie. Sheโ€™s every bit the pos she always was.

Itโ€™s not enough. Even modified itโ€™s still atrocious

Itโ€™s still not enough. I hate the whole update. All of it.

During ratification of the 14th Amendment, senators discussed whether the Citizenship Clause would apply to the children of immigrants and resoundingly concluded that it did. The text and history all point in one direction and the counter-arguments are patently fraudulent. I am going to lose my mind

That is exactly the dynamic the oligarchy wants - capability to perform tasks with no ability to think critically.

There is a serious problem brewing in the our society wherein the concept of masculinity being equated with being murdery is becoming more mainstream.

This is the definition of what it means to be shipwrecked. Attacking shipwrecked persons is considered a war crime. It is the literal example given to our military of when a military attack is a war crime.

If youโ€™ve read Sheri S. Tepperโ€™s book โ€œGate to Womenโ€™s Countryโ€ (highly recommend it) this Kenyan village is as close as it gets. Iโ€™d never heard of Umoja until today, and now Iโ€™m obsessed with it!

Loneliness epidemic is directly correlated to the โ€œred pilledโ€ men who idiotically chose to embrace hatred of women and treat them with hate, and now donโ€™t understand why women donโ€™t want anything to do with them

They were SHIPWRECKED and killing shipwrecked persons is the literal example given in military training of what constitutes a war crime. Ffs.

In retrospect, maybe we should limit the right to vote to people who return their shopping carts.

Iโ€™m not. Dems have repeatedly shown they wonโ€™t fix what Rs break.

No it cannot. It can only be mildly improved, and by that I mean it can deal with the transparency effect but it does not change any of the other effects.

Friendly reminder: there is no US law that makes it legal to murder suspected narcoterrorists, and international law specifically calls for arrest and prosecution of said suspected narcoterrorists outside of any immediate armed threat or a recognized/named armed conflict (aka: war).

Which, btw, is how you know these people were on no legally approved โ€œto be murderedโ€ list on Sept 2. If they had been, Hegseth would not have thrown the Admiral to the wolves.

Ths is just a pretend outrage. Cuellar votes conservatively, and we all know it, esp those of us who had that corrupt pos as our rep.

84yrs ago, today, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and pulled us into WW2. The world forever changed because of that, and I hope it we always remember the lesson from it.

Our own security is on the line when the security of our friends and allies is under attack.

They are legal US tender until they announced an end date for being accepted as such, so youโ€™ve got time. Allegedly.

Itโ€™s so awful and I had no idea or Iโ€™d have never installed the update. This sucks.

Dehydration can cause headaches as well as caffeine withdrawal. Not to mention stress, which we all sometimes minimize too much. Barometric pressure usually affects joints.

Other than that, possible side effect of medicine being taken at certain time and either kicking in or wearing off, maybe?

Have started Ken Burnsโ€™ new documentary on the American Revolution, and if Iโ€™m not mistaken the voice over for excerpts from John Adamsโ€™ writings is Paul Giamatti which is absolutely ๐ŸคŒ

The new iOS Liquid Glass thing is an abomination and I want it to go back to how it used to be.

I hate when Apple fixes things that arenโ€™t broken and introduce crap no one but them wants. ๐Ÿ˜ก
