Re: War between Hamas and Israel
Genocide is defined as the intentional destruction of a particular chunk of the human population. The actual number is immaterial. No one's accusing the US of genocide in Vietnam because our goal there was not to destroy the Vietnamese people. In fact, the belief was we were there to save them. The ...

Re: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
The public record is the CIA showed him something that made him change his mind. Could've been the geopolitical implications of Ukraine falling. Could've been proof of certain contacts within his caucus or his own office. Could've been both. Could've been something none of us are thinking of. What's...

Re: The Russia Investigations and other Trump-related cases
Got a coworker who dabbles in stocks with mixed results. A week or two ago I asked him how to short Trump's social media company and he told me it was too expensive. But I guess those who were able to afford the stock are making bank right now.

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)
1. Since the Last Supper was actually a Passover Seder, why does Easter not coincide with Passover? Eastern Orthodox churches tend to keep their Easter in lock step with Passover. Something I pay attention to because my in-laws celebrate on that calendar. Kinda wish the western churches did that sa...

They think he'll still be alive in 2028? With that waistline? Though given that the national GOP is directing all resources to Trump's legal bills and current campaign, I doubt they have anything left to nurture up fresh blood.

WEF = World Economic Forum. The Davos crowd. Not that that helps make any sense of Moreno's campaign pitch.

Four years ago today I was basically sheltering in place because of a rampant virus. Today I am basically sheltering in place because there's over a foot of snow on the ground. The latter will get plowed within the next 24 hours and either melt or sublimate off in the coming days. The former is stil...

Re: Trump and others charged with conspiring to overturn 2020 election in Georgia
Has anyone checked to see if Bradley's got some sort of vendetta with either Willis or Wade? Or if he was expecting some sort of pay off for all this? I saw something in a reddit thread about Bradley leaving Wade's firm after a sexual assault accusation. I spotted something confirmatory in the local...

I think she needs to step back from national politics and spend some time with her family. Don't mean that to be snarky either. The Boebert household needs tending to.

Re: Trump and others charged with conspiring to overturn 2020 election in Georgia
Interesting that I Fleishman is now less bullish about Willis being disqualified than I am. My feeling is that Bradley's testimony and his text messages to Merchant are not by themselves sufficient to prove that Willis and Wade lied about when the affair began (and whether Wade spent the night at W...

Re: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
I read last night that the Speaker doesn't want to vote on it because there are no border security measures. Except he didn't want to vote on those either. His dishonesty is tiresome.

Although it drifts even further off topic, I just can't resist noting a new report that Oxman plagiarized from Wikipedia. That is in fact something I caught that J.R.R.

Was it organic, raised outdoors, and sung to as it died or something? Or is he including some fancy single-malt he bought with the turkey? Kinda like the guy who complained about the price of his airport lunch...that included a glass of single-malt whiskey.

Re: Trump Charged With 37 counts of Espionage, Obstruction and related crimes
I guess the difference between owning a mistake and trying to lie your way out of a problem of your own making is too subtle for some to appreciate. I wonder how many of the people buying into Trump's schtick on this one also make a habit of trying to shift/evade responsibility for their own decisio...

Re: Hamas' "50th Anniversary" Attack on Israel
I am not a fan of Netanyahu and what he's turned Israel into in his desperate quest to cling to power and avoid jail. That said, the more I look at Hamas, the less I understand how anyone with a firing synapse could possibly sympathize with this particular organization. With Palestinian people, yes,...
