Re: Hamas' "50th Anniversary" Attack on Israel
The Israeli and Egyptian blockade of the Gaza Strip includes sea access. Israel maintains the current naval blockade that has been in place since Hamas took power over Gaza and the blockade is supported by the Palestinian Authority ( source , the bit about the PA was news to me). The ICRC considers ...

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)
To be fair, it would be suicidal for the new Speaker of the House to make any move that looked like he was interfering with Comer et al's passion project.

Re: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
And Turkey is finally in the process of approving Sweden's NATO membership (which came about as a result of Russian's invasion). Seeing as invading Ukraine utterly failed to stop NATO expansion, maybe Russia can just stop already? :P NATO controls the Adriatic, Aegean, Ionian, and North Sea. NATO a...

Re: The much too early 2024 election thread
Yes, it did have the flavor of "I was at a shawarma shop eating hummus, and overhead a group of liberal naturalized Arab Americans..." Like they used to publish about mythical inner city, or university town, Starbucks where apparent liberals proclaimed their love of Trump. And then, when ...

Re: Hamas' "50th Anniversary" Attack on Israel
You're being careful about claims and I'm still stuck at the babies... Again, what is Hamas's end game here? This looks like an organizational version of suicide-by-cop. And all these civilians are being taken along for the ride.

Re: World News Thread
Gaza's under siege now. Honestly, it makes me queasy. I have a feeling that it's all going to end with Gaza in rubble. What was Hamas even thinking? I've seen a lot of chatter that it was about disrupting the budding relationship between Israel and Saudi Arabia but something about that isn't adding ...

Re: Trump Indicted for Conspiring to Overturn the 2020 Election
His impeachment was for insurrection. That's not what he's being charged with, so I'm not sure how that claim even works.

Re: The Russia Investigations and other Trump-related cases
Trump did successfully get one case dismissed. But it was the lawsuit that he himself filed against Michael Cohen. Wow. I was writing but abandoned a post in the other thread in which I was arguing that guilty people have a moral duty to plead guilty. And then Trump goes and does the right thing he...

It's not the demotion that people are pissed about. It's the fact that now that Kariko played a leading role in saving the world Penn is claiming her as one of theirs...and she saved the world with the exact same research they demoted her over. In other words, Penn appears to be taking credit for re...

Re: The Russia Investigations and other Trump-related cases
When it comes to Trump, the dumbest, most self-serving explanation for anything he does is probably the right one. So I wouldn't be surprised at all if that is, in fact, the rationale behind his orders to elements of the House GOP. Now why they're taking said orders when they were actually elected t...

Re: Chaos in Congress
Boebert went door to door in her district and successfully primaried the incumbent. She has a pretty face, a full figure, and wouldn't shut up about the gun on her hip. That, plus the overall redness of her district, took her to victory in the general. The district lines were redrawn during her last...

I wonder what was in her vape pen. Not that it matters for the pregnant lady behind her but I am old enough to get a giggle out of a social conservative indulging in recreational pot. My favorite bit of that whole sordid mess at the Buell theater was the part where she adjusts her skin-tight dress. ...

Quoted because of this.
Also, wasn't Biden just in Florida looking at hurricane damage?

Rep.

Yeah, I'm not sure I'm following what she'...
