Good one, even though you know I was speaking of your health.

You need to be more clear. From your post and response, it seems most folk, including me, thought you were referring to yourself.

you're suggesting we should keep mayorkas in his position regardless of the damage he's causing by his dereliction of duty.

No, we are suggesting they don't continue with performative non-governing farces which have no hope of passing the senate. A waste of everyone's time and money for ZERO actual change. How about passing new border laws? 

Jesus Christ. Kids shooting kids and you cannot legislate ANY SOLUTION. Freaking feeble government. In fact is there a functioning government?

You'll get it right eventually. 😃

Mayorkas wasn't voted in, what election are you talking about? 

Uh, the freaking presidential election. I case you were unaware the Prez gets to name his own cabinet. Or are you worried the border scam isn't working, again? 

Small village in the South. We have the absolute pleasure of having a very talented Thai/Italian chef. Of course I would. And do 😋

Right! Like prohibiting alcohol in the US totally got rif of alcohol!

No one is asking for another prohibition. It doesn't work for alcohol, cannabis, or guns. That is well established, as you noted. 

But you, and many others, fail to take the next logical step - what did and does work? 

Surprise! When alcohol prohibition ended, laws and regulations were enacted to control the industry. 

Do you currently feel overly restricted in purchasing alcohol in the USA? 

Is there a logical reason the same solution won't work for guns?

Sounds like you'd prefer they wouldn't have this right? Why would that be?

Dig as deep as you want to confirm your bias. You won't find it on this forum or anywhere else. Why do you feel the need to be accusatory, immediately, without reason? 

Anyway, I'm a realist. The ICC can do very little to nothing to the actual perpetrators of the raid - they fled back to Gaza. Israel needs no help from the ICC in either tracking, or bringing to justice, the Hamas leaders. 

It is politically demonstrative and toothless, just as was South Africa's action.

I take it you've got a problem reading the OP. They have taken the case to the ICC, not the ICJ. The ICC can issue arrest warrants for the leaders of Hamas. 

 

Yes, I'm sure sitting on the naughty step is all you'd wish for.

The ICC has NO enforcement arm. They must rely on the cooperation of sovereign nations national police to enforce any warrant they issue. Hamas IS Gaza's government AND police force. 

Do you see the problem with your statement?

Also very possible it was a typo by the poster you responded to. Why so agro?

Oh doubting Thomas.

As  I said.

No third party apps - just the ones from Samsung/AIS that I cannot uninstall.

And still no WIFI .

🤣🤣 did you not understand, "updates this year will be dominated by AI—much of it from Google." 🤣🤣 What does your turning off WiFi do to stop AI apps running? Do you think Samsung doesn't use AI embedded in Apps?

I don't agree at all.

And that's OK. We all gravitate towards those who speak to us. For me, I was done with Bill in the early oughts.

I remember he said he is not a big traveller. He said something to the effect that he could not see himself on a dusty bus full of people and chickens in Africa or something. Nor did he want to do action stuff like skiing. Could relate to that a bit. 

 

Not sure why you are being so harsh. He does some good clever stuff on politics and is good at taking Trump to task - he picked that he wouldn't accept losing long before the election - to the point that Trump mentions him sometimes as a loser comedian or something which has to be a compliment. Yes I mentioned Trump. 

Being harsh because of your first paragraph. If he dors not want to get out of his bubble and experience what this great big world has to offer, I have no time for him.

I'm a fan of his show and also like his casual sessions on Club Random with guests on youtube. No need to agree with everything he says or thinks to find value in his shows.

Interestingly he just did a Club Random with Kanye and I think for the first time didnt release because Kanye was spouting so much Jew hatred. I wonder why book him if he expected anything else but I guess he wanted to give him a chance.

Cheers

 

A classic one:

 

Unfortunately Bill has not been relevant, or even relevant adjacent for decades.

So you lost the argument, now resorting to abuse. Makes you lose even more. 

I was replying to Jon and your jumping in had nothing to do with my response. R u OK?

Did the Americans tell the truth about Iraq? You are just showing your ignorance about wars and politics.

No. But I can tell the difference between a narrative constructed for the gullible masses and a man hankering for a legacy.

You dodge questions and post no facts. I can see why you don't know much about journalism.

You need to understand that access is not journalism. So far you haven't addressed your original point. Real journalist are not consumed by access, which was your point. Or are you gonna deflect again?

Why are you posting this reply to me? I agree on this point. Weird.
