Part of me would like to know why he thinks a 40-year lag is reasonable to suppose? Part of me would like to know why he discounts any more contemporaneous causes. But a larger, more self-caring part of me doesn't want to read or listen to any more of his drivel.
Not good? So Trump's going to live?
Why the fuck do these "real conversations" have to be had at a (national) political level? I mean beyond, "These seem like questions best answered by experts, doctors and those directly affected, and not some schmuck named Alexander wearing a 'Nice Tots!' T-shirt."
Apparently, the only people who will have no say in the "post-war" plan for the Gaza are the people currently living in Gaza. It's almost as if they expect a whole new group of people to be residing the area.
About noon EST on Jan 20, 2025.
Surely "defy" is too strong. Maybe "flout" would fit the NYT Trump-Specific Style Guide better.
Why is it so important for you that the trans community gets shit on?
Absolutely fucking ghoulish. Even "thoughts and prayers" would be an improvement over this shit.
There is so much wrong with this statement I don't even know where to begin. Suffice to say, Trey Gowdy is a fucking ghoul and deserves nothing but the worst to befall him for the remainder of his days on this earth. Inshallah, they will be few.
How many pedophiles is the Israeli contingent bringing with them this time?
Maybe not the *whole* world's problems, but the UK is responsible for (ie, has caused) an outsized share of them.
Kevin O'Leary's "politics" in a nutshell
But he still thinks Trump annexing Canada (one of the countries he is a citizen of, and among which the US is not) is a good idea.
BREAKING: Israel lies. Actually, that's not breaking.
Gavin Newsom is fighting for Gavin Newsom. As Gavin Newsom always does.
Which elected Dem will be the first to call this a distraction?
Does he mean like on Jan 6, 2021?
How many times does the same "mishap" have to happen at the same location for the NYT to become suspicious that it is not actually a "mishap"?
Before Trump's second inauguration, there were plentiful posts quoting the first of Timothy Snyder's 20 lessons on fascism: do not comply in advance. Being indifferent to Trump's weaponization of the DOJ against Bolton *is* complying in advance, as he seeks to normalize and widen this process.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that a republic cannot also be a dictatorship! -- Jonathan Turley
Since that's Christ the Redeemer, you're on Corcovado mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
I kind of hope Mamdani blows off this scheduled meeting.
Donald Trump doesn't care about people.
Israel trying to take the famine in Gaza they intentionally caused out of the news in the only way they know how.
The Baileys are not happy about this! Not happy at all!
Those demanding the Democrat politicians end their divisive use of these terms are truly experiencing a dea(r)th of expertise.
Not the worst St George's Cross fail of the weekend.
People like this will happily vote for 88% Hitler because 88% Hitler isn't threatening their lives, or the lives of their loved ones. It speaks to both privilege and a lack of diversity in their lives. That they demand those threatened by 88% Hitler to also support him speaks to sheer stupidity.
Inshallah.
I would not be surprised at all to see this guy one day showing up at the White House with a golden gift for the Dear-Leader-In-Chief.
Maybe Newsom should be held accountable for the "dumb things he did" **NOW** and not some time after he somehow becomes the DNC nominee. And people calling out the illiberal positions he holds are doing just that. Maybe you should "grow up" and not slavishly defend this blatant opportunist.
Just a billionaire looking for rationalizations for complimenting Trump.
Tom just wants a Dubya-era Republican party. If he can shape the Democratic Party into something like that, he'll consider it mission accomplished.
You mean to tell me that the organization that chose Russia to host their premier event in 2018 and then Qatar in 2022 and has selected Saudi Arabia for 2034 won't be removing it from a regime that is becoming acutely more authoritarian by the day?
According to a recent survey conducted by the Hebrew University’s aChord Center, 2/3 of Israelis believe this child is not innocent.
»“Each day the clinic [a children’s malnutrition clinic in the Tahrir hospital for children and maternity at the Nasser medical complex in Khan Younis] is open, no fewer than 52 new cases are diagnosed,” he said.« ≥52 new cases of malnutrition - just in children - at just one hospital - every day.
Champagne must be popping at the NYT under a sign reading, "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED."
On the bright side, with probability 1-ε the universe will have undergone its heat death well before these monkeys completed their task.
There can be no serious objection to calling Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide. It's a fucking genocide.
A reminder that the UN definition of "genocide" includes the following among the acts which constitute the crime against humanity: "Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part"
Sounds more like AI is the pushee, not the pusher.
Vice Chancellor touts levelling off of home prices in wake of Hitler's bold strategy.
Lol. Nosferatu calling people "elderly."
Did Meta's AI even ever get legs?
"effective" "altruism"
He's talking about a "Dyson sphere" just as a huge surface area to put data centers on. How useful data centers that are ≈7 light hours away (assuming it is constructed to just encompass the outer edge of the Kuiper belt, which is ≈50AU from the sun) would be is another question.
But if they say something bad about Dear Leader, they might lose their most precious commodity: access!
Pathological liar says what?
Please let this letter refer to Melania as "ho" at least once! 🤞
Terrence Tao, perhaps the most famous active mathematician, saw his federal funding cut. Here he makes a full-throated defence of basic research in response to the Trump regime's attempts to dismantle it.
"You can, Do what I dare not." This technology is miraculous!
I wouldn't have instilled such a fear of paraglider in my children. But I also wouldn't have killed my mother, so Bethany and I differ on many things.
Donald John Trump has unbounded empathy for John Barron, John Miller, Carolin Gallego and David Dennison. Oh, and also Donald John Trump.
Was Jeffries asked about Cuomo's client list? Or was this just an opportunity for both Jeffries and Sorkin to make it clear they don't support of the Democratic candidate for NYC mayor?
It's "attracting ... some hopes"? From who? Putin and Medvedev?
WHICH CAME FIRST?! WHICH CAME FIRST?! ⸺ "The Death of Expertise" author
Pete Hoekstra, the current US ambassador to Canada, is a weak, pathetic cry-bully. Much like the rest of Trump's administration.
Even before Trump, in 2002 the American Service-Members' Protection Act (aka the Hague Invasion Act) was signed into law. And the US was among 7 states to vote against the Rome Statute which established the ICC in 1998. There is quite a feral, bipartisan opposition to the ICC in the US.
... highly **illegal** ...
typical right-wing man: I could beat a grizzly bear in unarmed combat. 😏 also typical right-wing man: THAT BLACK GUY LOOKED AT ME!!! WHERE'S MY MOMMA??! 😨
I'm old enough to remember when saying that killing children is typical Jewish behaviour was the height of antisemitism. There was even a term for this specific trope. But thanks to the likes of the ADL, that term has been rendered meaningless.
Both the Russian and USian sides probably thought that saying, "We'll do what the Israelis are doing," would boost approval for the plan.
And why shouldn't the same fate have befell everyone involved in Watergate and the Saturday Night Massacre?
It's not that they don't know history. They think their readers don't know history.
I think it's their obsession with "norms and traditions," but tomato/tomahto.
Even when ToReform isn't in power, the BBC can't roll over for them fast enough!
I guess according to Trump's view of the Russia/Ukraine war, those systems that Russia hacked should be ceded to Putin.
Let's be very clear: Trump fully believes that the US now belongs to him alone. Let's make sure he's wrong.
Has Israel really been hiding it, though? I think western journalists have been doing more work obfuscating their clear intentions than the state itself.
Can't defenestrate the guy for bad data if he doesn't produce any data!
Maybe I'm strange, but I think every Ukrainian who is right now not under Putin's boot is profiting from Ukraine's resistance. Both monetarily and more figuratively.
Not only did the lettuce last longer, but I's certain it has a better understanding of the British people.
It's been pretty amazing all around. Trump: CANADA WILL BE MINE!! GOVERNOR TRU-DOPE!! 100% TARIFFS!! NO TARIFFS IF YOU'RE A STATE!! Canadians: Elbows Up!. We'll stop coming to your shithole country! Border state governors: Why don't Canadians think of our tourism industry? They're too mean!
Being a leopard truther, it turns out, is no shield against large predatory cats.
Just a reminder: Andrew Cuomo (son of Mario and grandson of Andrea) said this guy was "tired." 🤣
Can we get right on his "ZERO ILLEGALS in last 3 months!" claim?
Suella Braverman must be very jealous of what Starmer, et al, have accomplished.
TIL Hamas has been blockading Israel and preventing food from getting to Israelis. Fuck Bono.
He didn't give Merz or Starmer the chance to talk him out of it, and also put pressure on them to follow suit. Smart move.
If not just Netanyahu, what about the nearly 2/3 of Israelis who believe there are no innocents in Gaza?
All these Democratic presidential candidates will be "demonstrating their independence" by shitting on trans people in the exact same way.
If this administration "extracted" anything for the visit, it would be solely for Trump's benefit. Probably a set of gold-colored Matryoshka dolls.
Hopefully his advice for them is every bit as good as his mini-budget was for the UK's economy.
🎵🎵 I can call you Betty 🎵🎵 And Betty, when you call Massachusetts 🎵🎵 You can call Massachusetts "Al"
They are so similar because he has never endorsed either?
Oh. John McWhorter. I'll pass.
How many balls has his caddie fortuitously dropped?
"Human rights lawyer" Keir Starmer has quashed political speech in the UK to such a degree that Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman must be jealous.
In a choice between Reform and Diet Reform, voters are picking the original. Shocking.
Every time the Trump administration does something horrible, there's someone in Dem leadership saying, "This is just a distraction!" The Dems are waiting for the *perfect* open layup, not giving two bits if they'll be down 100-0 when it finally arrives.
I mean, that one is pathetic, but I think the one with the 67-year-old man essentially saying, "Do you know who my father was?" was worse.
Honestly, Alaska is still pretty pro-Trump. It's more likely he cedes Washington, Oregon, and California.
What you don't understand is that the Constitution vests in college students a supreme authority in the secret Article -I. And pre-Jan 20, Trump was just a smol bean. So FIRE just *had* to come after the Bill-of-Rights-threatening horde!
Harris *was* the lesser of two evils. She would have continued Biden's trajectory vis-a-vis Gaza. This was clear from how her campaign treated Pro-Palestinian activists and Muslims generally. It would be a slower genocide, which might have remained more palatable to the "developed" world.
Counting to 12 must be more of a post-doc activity.
They'll cite "irregularities" in the previous census, then claim that democracy itself is in jeopardy unless Trump is able to rectify these "irregularities" and then finally find some obscure quote from the time of King John and the Magna Carta to rationalize it.
Dim Jim probably thought he was Moses.
Ratchets gonna ratchet.
