That's the horrible thing about math. It doesn't lie. Anecdotes are way better for that.

A member of Israel’s War Cabinet, former army chief Gadi Eisenkot, said last week that the only way to free the remaining hostages was through a cease-fire. In an implicit criticism of Netanyahu, he said claims to the contrary amounted to “illusions.” Hamas has said it will not free more hostages until Israel ends its offensive. https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-news-01-21-2024-02caafa092668ecc7ff122229c166807

That's just far right talking points. Ya'll know that if employers who employed illegal immigrants were jailed it would stop in a heartbeat. Y'all only want to use it as a whipping post to get votes by blaming the dems. The reality is that the right wing just refused a border deal in the house because it might fix the problem.

People understand the constitution perfectly. They also understand that the only democratic way to elect a president is one man one vote. A continuation or worsening of the trend toward election of presidents (always republican) with a minority of the popular vote can't last without severe repercussions. Standard civics-class accounts of the Electoral College rarely mention the real demon dooming direct national election in 1787 and 1803: slavery. If the system’s pro-slavery tilt was not overwhelmingly obvious when the Constitution was ratified, it quickly became so. For 32 of the Constitution’s first 36 years, a white slaveholding Virginian occupied the presidency. https://time.com/4558510/electoral-college-history-slavery/

It's hilarious how anti EV people have suddenly found religion since Musk bought Twitter.

It's really rich blaming national division on libs. There is one ultra racist party and it isn't the dems.

No, the turned that says things are not normal, they are at record levels in a good way. Unemployment, stock markets, etc.

Haley firmly rejects any possible Trump VP offer she was unlikely to get https://www.rawstory.com/trump-mental-decline-2667012665/

As my daddy used to say "it's like picking fly sh!t out of black pepper.

Which of these 2 numbers is larger than the other do you think? 1. UNHCR assistance for humanitarian causes provided by voluntary donor nations. 2. Qatari funds designed to help Hamas build itself into a military force? By how much? At a guess? Bonus question. Which is most likely to be audited? 1 or 2?

This is starting to get a little creepy. :)

They look like Grosse Lisse.

I view that as a similar argument to using nuclear power to alleviate CO2 production. In the both cases the by product waste problem is enormous but the argument is that it's a lesser evil than the direct global warming caused by excessive CO2. It also doesn't take into account newer battery technologies that are inevitably flowing from the billions in incentives provided by the chinese government. Warranted battery life of a BYD is 8 years. Not bad compared to an ICE vehicle. We could also talk about the environmental damage from oil extraction too but why bother?

The trend is still evident. And that's not a political thing.

look no further. they have lost of videos. Yeah, I know. you mean live... but why?

If only the FBI (or anybody else) could put their finger on a scintilla of evidence. Yeah, I know ... deep state ... problem with that theory is that nobody on the inside ever blows the whistle.

Yeah, the same as governments have done for generations when it comes to vaccinations and infectious diseases. BTW, they don't compel you to have a vaccination. Lookup how the vaccinated suffer less from long covid which causes severe mitochondrial damage in the muscles. You might change your tune if you do a bit of reading.

When are you going to understand that you are asserting that the majority of civilian casualties were human shields and that he was debunking that notion?

He never said that. Prove that he did.

It's the just the right wing inclination to look for hidden meaning in everything. Goes all the way back to 666.

Probably don't want to quote old articles when discussing the stock market. The US S&P 500 is at an all time high right now. Shares in the US rose to record highs on Friday, fuelled by tech stocks and rising hopes about the economy. The S&P 500 index, which tracks shares of America's biggest companies, ended the day up 1.2% to close at 4,839.8, topping the previous record set in January 2022. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68035276

My comment you quoted was an attempt to show how risible your claim that the damage was done by RPG's and the like. It went over the top like a 747, apparently.

TSLA stock is plummeting while other AI players are still rising. Some have opined that it's an Elon thing, apart from the price cuts to meet BYD which now outsells Tesla wordwide.

Follow the money., Specifically the dark money super PACs which were legalized and protected by Citizens United.

so do firecrackers. But you know what works best? 2,000 pound bombs. 200 of them works a treat.
