Hasn't Israel been actively (and kinetically) suppressing Iran's quest for the exact same nukes that everyone knows Israel already has? Saying there's no reason for beef there is pretty wild.

Is it normal though? There's a big difference between "normal" and "not unprecedented".

I looked into this a bit. The total for Texas is close to 24 million. That's obviously absurd for new voters, but I found information that says that, rather than tracking registration, HAVV is a service that state DMVs throw their info at to see if the SSA can verify it as a person. That would...

"If you build it, they will come."

An all-in strategy of only being in for a single term would let him ignore the usual focus on fundraising (for reelection). On the other hand, part of that fundraising is for the party in general so he might make too many enemies that way. If not, then one could theoretically alternate being in...

Is the presidential election campaign a total war? :unsure:

I'm not saying civilians would die the moment you took the gun out of their hand, I'm saying that "gun and ammo factories" are not exclusively military targets if oil refineries aren't, because they are both dual purpose. I'll give you the tank factories, though that still raises the question of...

Civilians use guns and ammo, haven't you heard? I have it on good authority that they like jeeps too.

What the fuck are you talking about. Everyone in the west tells Russia to stop, all the time. It doesn't matter because Russia doesn't care: it isn't getting its war material from the west.

You don't seem to be considering that the current level of pushback isn't the maximum level. For example, the new proposed sale of F-35s has yet to be canceled, whereas if Israel openly admitted to following a mass starvation strategy they'd be dust in the wind and the conversation would be...

I'm none too familiar with the case in question. But yeah obviously. If your representative votes a way you didn't expect them to on an issue that's important to you then you either accept that they know better than you or you start arranging consequences.

I am not sure where I stand on the issue myself, but I am sure it's not as cut and dried as you are presenting it as being. Imagine a building with two doors. At one, a fee is collected for people who wish to enter and take stuff. What stuff? Maybe it's an all you can eat buffet; who cares. The...

I don't think that's a recent development. I remember hearing about courts ruling that actual innocence, even undisputed, is not a valid reason to overturn a verdict. I suppose it may make sense from the perspective of legalistic consistency (follow the process at all costs), and theoretically...

There are certainly more innocents in American prisons just because there are so many people in American prisons. But even if the Japanese justice system is better than the American one at identifying the correct suspects, I've heard that by the time they get to prosecuting you they are so...

You will note that this post says people are shouting "Murderer" at him on the street and that he needs security to get around. But we don't say RFK has been charged with murder because he wants secret service protection.

If the number used to be 70%, that would count as a shifting tide. Also it may vary from state to state. How does it say Nevada is looking specifically?

This sounds like one of those lies that were engineered to go viral, though genuine delusion can produce the same result. If true, source please. I put the guy's name and what I think is italian for murder in a search engine and I see a lot of headlines putting "assassino" in scare quotes...

It just seems real fuckin' weird that you keep on saying that he's wrong without saying what's right. What does "deal with them accordingly" mean when the "enemy-in-place" is a 17-year-old who uncritically consumes Russian media but has no known inclination to violence or political action of any...

I want to hear him either own up to it or back down from it. I don't know that "treat them as enemies" necessarily means "shoot them all" but it's certainly not out of the question. And, for a counterexample, having internment camps like FDR did to Japanese-Americans in WWII (for Russian...

With anyone else I will assume this is sarcasm but for you I have to double check.
