if kamala had won so many of us could have been blissfully ignoring the war

The only acceptable dem platform is "we will do what we failed to do in both Reconstruction and Denazification, brutally punishing everyone responsible and draining the billionaires into destitution to fund the 50 year program of fixing what they destroyed", and dem leadership is incapable of this.

Ok, I *do* believe you this time. :)

I also didn't attend my graduation, but because I knew the sheepskin was already in the mail to my home of record.

I want to be very clear that *anyone* in positions of leadership that was fucking around with "Iran is bad though" has a direct culpability for what the US & Israel are doing now. They provided cover, particularly in western electorates by refusing to show sufficient solidarity against US aggression

If you are younger than 83, you have never seen the US drop a single bomb as a formally declared act of war according to its constitution.

Yeah. Sure. OK ...

The plainly stated facts of your family's background and history, what you've told us about your own life's journey to date ...

Yeah, 'Nothing to see here, move along." Your unauthorized biography some day will explode onto the best seller lists.

Lawd shut these liberals up talking about how encampments never came back after Trump's election like nobody's out here caring about Palestine anymore. Those students were brutalized by militarized police & their campuses barred them from organizing! It was Biden's doing! They're still organizing!

Pro-tip:

Once you get tired of flying, there's slightly more involved to landing than just "point the aircraft at the ground." Trust me, no matter what anyone else tries to tell you.

Er ... emm ... Well no.

Not that I wouldn't have tried if the opportunity presented itself, as the California couple did while unfortunately also burying their aircraft into the ground.

If you aren't at the same time trying to qualify for 'Mile High Club' membership, then it's safe to do all three at once.

Doing all four at once is way more fun, though.

Press TV have a 24/7 live feed on rumble and a telegram for when Elon and the β€˜former’ state dept people at Alphabet delete their channels from Twitter and youtube

Not foolproof obviously but it’d be wise to connect with the outlet multiple ways for those that wish to have access to the outlet

There is no way for New Deal Democrats to implement the policies they nominally support without there being a vibrant socialist movement.

New Deal Democrats hostile to socialists are really do-nothing Democrats trying for improved branding.

You, an ignorant peasant: "So many British journalists act like they're MI5 agents."

Noble British journalists: " Well actually, it's the Security Service not "MI5" and most of us are assets not agents so you're really showing your ignorance here."
