Anywhy

I don't think Iranian women even wear burqas. Isn't the rule there just to wear a hijab in public?

I didn't claim that they caused it!

Which is why people should complain about and to their blue STATE officials more than city leaders, who have very limited powers and jurisdiction to deal with such matters.

I would be happy with that. At least they'd be trying something, and tying up the government's time so that it would be less focused on doing maximum damage to our people and institutions. When government is evil, the worse it works the better for the nation.

I'm saying PICK ONE. I'd support them keeping the shutdown until the end of Congress' term, if it came to that. However if they are not willing to fight hard, I wish the Dems would disappear so a new, more responsive party could rise to take their place.

If they don't work, they shouldn't be paid.

It's not worth it. If I could, I'd burn the whole thing down.

Sure, but it doesn't really feel like any kind of democracy, at least since I woke up to the problems of lobbyist and PAC manipulation, corporate money and revolving doors for pols, etc.

It's not my place to say because I am not Jewish but.. I think Jews who DON'T agree with what Israel is doing really need to be loud and proud about it. Because otherwise the Zionist narrative (Israel=YesAllJews) wins by default.

Amanda didn't take the job. But some other folks might have. Here's a creator, The Woke Ginger, reciting specific attacks from the brief. He urges followers “to look past viral personalities and ask who is running and why” — a quote (see first skeet) matching a suggested quote in the brief.

I agree that antisemitism is wrong, unjust and must always be opposed but... I don't think ideological antisemitism was the real driving force here. This looks like a suicide-by-Temple-cop of a man broken by Israel's murdering half his family. Certainly he should have sought mental help, though.

Good example!

That's what I'm saying. The US and Israel are in a toxic, mutually-abusive, self-destructive, codependent relationship. And it's not even exclusive, we are in the Polycule of Evil.

I think the US is technically a constitutional federal republic. Other nations may have their own thing-that-isn't-really-democracy.

Cap’n Trump's Oops! All Badguys

And if the US ever got a pro-peace major party (even just individual candidates) that actively supported a Palestinian state, Israel would (and does) turn on them.

I don't think it's permission, I think it's observation of a completely predictable consequence of preceding events. Question is what to do about it. I doubt (for example) that teaching about antisemitism would have stopped this guy from going nuts and killing Jews after his family was killed.

Even before Hegseth, I noticed this increasing emotional emphasis on the military's killing power, its "lethality".

Call me crazy, but shouldn't a military's aim in war be to achieve its strategic objectives by the most effective means? This may or may not require a lot of murdering. Could be less.

I don't know enough about the Old Dominion attack, but the Michigan one was a grief-revenge thing caused by the US/Israel war on Iran. It's not a general feeling thing, there was a specific reason this guy cracked.

Yes, capitalism bad, but I don't see it going away. Israel has existed less than 70 years and can be defeated if the West ever stops supporting it. We could be fighting entirely different wars over lands and resources we actually want, not this bullshit Middle Eastern oil (that we don't even use).

I get that Israel has its own agenda with Iran, but I think Epstein is a factor in why we are HELPING them. We could have just let Israel do what they want without also invading, like in Lebanon and Syria.

This isn't just about Iran though, or this particular war. There's a pattern of Israel and the US using each other to advance each their own imperialist interests. It's toxic and makes everything worse. Saudi too now. Ofc it's already horrible that oil and arms corps are driving these things.

The aircraft lost the will to lift.

It's a new year, he could be in contention for the *2026* FIFA Peace Prize!

Come December, if Trump's regime is collapsing, Zohran becomes the new king of soccer. If Trump's still in power, it's something the mayor can offer him in exchange for something NYC needs.

What a world

Iran and Jeffrey Epstein may be more connected than most think. Also, for all we know he (through Ghislaine Maxwell) was working for Mossad.

We're doomed then.

Oh so this must be how Fahrenheit 451 starts in our world.

They ARE blaming aliens. That's why they're infesting the country with ICE, who treat immigrants like nonhumans.

Work OUTSIDE of government and campaigning to build alternative civil power to resist and survive the inevitable tyranny and chaos. Not like they could do much in Congress as they are. Plenty of free time.

Then the Dems should have realized this would be the logical result and not done the useless shutdown at all. No strategy! People were hurt for nothing. They need to go for broke or STFU.
