I think there's also a failure to grapple with the fact that this can and will happen elsewhere. Figuring out how democracies can help defeat such regimes and then welcome back countries into the fold is pretty important in maintaining a liberal world order.

That was...way too much. But yay!

Yeah. If they give up another one I'll be sick.

Would this be a ticky-tak reason to overturn a goal, yes. Will I be mad, no.

This is definitely a me issue, the game looks fine on my laptop.

Is there something wrong with my TV settings, or is this #ESPN feed cutting off a lot of the #pittsburghpenguins game? Lots of key stuff is out of frame.

No, that's wrong. They moved troops to the West Bank because Bibi could only maintain his position by selling out to G'vir and his ilk and they're obsessed with the West Bank. The IDF failed to heed warnings because of arrogance and a refusal to listen to the women issuing the warnings.

The idea that Secretary Clinton who was in the White House for the Oslo Accords and served as Secretary of State could possibly have a better grasp of history than college students who don't know which river and which sea they're shouting about should not be controversial.

I don't think you realize that you're changing the subject, which was propaganda on TikTok and its effect on political discourse, especially amongst young people without historical knowledge. Which has been significant and poisonous, and has a ton of antisemitism baked in.

And being propagandized to believe that Israel committed 10/7 and there were no rapes, and that, if there were, those Israelis deserved it and Hamas was mighty and is going to commit 10/7 over and over, really is a problem.

She's talking about being in a class regarding conflict resolution. It's hard to have meaningful discussions about resolving conflicts when you're ignorant of the background and history of the conflict. And it's bad to have a lot of protesters and advocates chanting slogans they dont understand.

If you listen to the clip, she's almost entirely discussing a lack of knowledge on the history and background of the conflict. And she's not wrong.

It's not rational, but it's real. I've seen so much resistance to inheritance taxes, from people who'll never inherit a dime (and would not be affected by inheritance taxes when they pass). Since they are otherwise liberal voters, I just accept it as a different POV.

That sort of argument will lose you so many gettable votes.

Geno's caboose

Dislocated shoulder?

They're investigating and planning on prosecuting. Jumping straight to impeachment with zero Republican support is strategically useless. Dems are in the minority, they do not have the votes to impeach, let alone convict. There is no button they can press to change that.

It's so obviously a bad move for Dems to jump to impeachment before an investigation, one which a number of Republicans seem willing to engage in good faith. The idea that Dems are going to get anywhere by constantly drafting articles of impeachment that won't even get a vote is inane.

Because Dems didn't have sufficient votes in Congress to impeach and the Republicans who captured the Supreme Court immunized Trump. This is purely a question of who had sufficient power, and the answer wasn't Dems.

I'm so sorry.

We, the people, need to give enough Dems enough power to do what needs to be done. And we, the people, need to keep supporting Dems to entrench reforms. If voters don't do their part, Dems can't work miracles.

I keep seeing posters calling for Dems to take frankly illegal steps to "hold Trump and his administration accountable" without ever grappling with the fact it's not possible without having huge, durable majorities in Congress - at which point they could proceed legally.

Rusty!!! What a great response! #PittsburghPenguins #letsgopens

Dumba!!! #pittsburghpenguins #let'sgopens

Perhaps I take his point differently, not that it's not feasible to help the needy, but that it's very important to be rigorous about what needs actually exist to address them efficiently. I guess if your needs are not particularly dire, that might feel like an attack?

Isn't it more "yes poor people are suffering and we should do more to help them, while also realizing that in absolute terms our economy and society has made tremendous progress, even for the poor, and it's counterproductive to pretend the economy is in shambles and everyone is destitute."

Accusing a state of pink washing reflects more on your contempt for queer people than anything else. You're asserting that a country protecting the rights and lives of queer people has no moral weight, which only tracks if you think queer rights and lives are of no importance.

So like...you already sang Yismechu and L'Dor Vador so can it for the rest of Musaf if you want Adon Olam?

Were there endless arguments about when a chant becomes too tuneful and is now counted as a song?

I am very tickled.
