Re: Colorado Supreme Court Removes Trump from State Ballot

Historically, the US has not had the level of politcal violence that some other places do. That's why McConnell's house could be vandalized, and Nancy Pelosi's husband assaulted, among other things. I suspect high level government officials need to ramp up their security.

Re: TIL: Today I Learned... (Join in!)

My nephew had the code to make Lara nude. My sister caught him running the game with it. We pointed out to her that that was a perfectly normal thing for a teenage boy to do.

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue

It's more Tev's thing about being a Zionist to support his Jewish relatives. That read to me like a weird jump, considering that Zionism isn't some necessary component of Judaism. It is if you're a Zionist. And I don't know if most Jews are Zionists but I'd be very surprised if Zionist+Zionist-frie...

Re: Project 2025: How to Start a Fascist Takeover in 180 Days!

This is unsettling to say the least, but I do wonder about the practicalities of enforcing it. Quite true. Depending in the situation how it turns out could be anything from arrest people trying to put this into practice to a flat out civil war to and actual conversion of the US to a fascist state....

Yeah, people are full of contradictions. I find it hugely disturbing that these fascists have published their game plan but no one seems to have noticed or cared. Sure, I'm not in one of the groups they're targeting - initially . History shows that the list of undesirables grows. See Martin Niemölle...

When I did the four-word search "is Joe Biden Jewish?" on Google, the first four words I got back were "I am a Zionist" as the headline on that article, as well as this titbit further down: Joe and Jill Biden are Roman Catholics - but all three of the Biden children married Jews...

I wonder how long is it going to take before Republican states retaliate and start blocking Biden from the ballot? Under what grounds? He is not one of them. Sure, they'll try to dress it up some other way, but that's what it boils down to. There's an element of the GOP that wants one-party rule in...

What's wrong with having an official state language? In the USA, the official language is English. [nitpick] The US does NOT have an official language.

The UN is far from perfect. It is actually a deeply flawed institution.

In fact, if the only effective thing ...

Hopefully this means Putin will pull out before a total collapse as a civil war in a country with nukes is a Bad Thing(tm).

Given the nature of war of course there were rapes. The only questions are the number of victims and how violent the rapes were. Anyone asserting no rapes occur in a war are full of shit.

The Israeli government has specifically told people NOT to go to the north of Gaza (of course, some ignore that). Both Egypt and the US have stated that the Palestinians will not be displaced into Egypt. This boils down to the IDF/Israeli government telling people to do the impossible: evacuate when...

No more Gaza, no more West bank. And no more Palestinians, and probably no more Israeli Arabs in the long run.

The entire 'hospitals are off limits' rule is only that is very recent in military history or international law.
