So get off your computer and do something about it instead of lording your morality over the rest of us here.

Get involved with an organization and go physically help in Gaza. Go volunteer your time for your local pro Palestine congressperson. I’ll wait.

Oh no but you’re sitting here pushing propaganda talking points, which you somehow believe is helpful but actually tacitly supports the literal Nazi candidate who calls people vermin. Because that’s the thing that is really helpful.

Who exactly do you think is sending arms to Israel? Who is rubber stamping the budget? There are several actors involved in this dance including the Republican House of Representatives and the military industrial complex.

Russia is killing innocent people and will kill many more when Trump “ends the war in Ukraine” by giving Russia Ukraine. Trump will give Gaza and likely Lebanon to Netanyahu. So because innocent people have been killed you’re like whoa, guess I gotta step back and advocate for the terrible perspective of not voting at all, a stance that is supported by propaganda actors backing a Trump win.

Evil includes seeing evil being done and choosing to do nothing, and advocating for the side of doing nothing.

My 13 y o niece had no idea how to uninstall a program on a PC. I was a little stunned.

History is repeating itself and I feel crazy that the news every single day does not point this out.

Women in Nazi Germany:

The ideal woman in Nazi Germany did not have a career outside her home. Instead, she was a good wife (however her husband defined that), a careful and conscientious mother (taking special care to raise her children in accordance with Nazi philosophies and ideals), and skilled at doing all domestic chores such as cleaning and cooking. Women had a limited right to training of any kind; such training usually revolved around domestic tasks. Over time, Nazi-era German women were restricted from teaching in universities, working as medical professionals, and serving in political positions within the NSDAP.

They actually don’t currently have nukes though.

Iran’s nuclear program is advanced although it lacks atomic-weapons capability, while Israel is considered an undeclared nuclear-weapons power.

This is just irresponsible warmongering from a dude who only has slogans and zero solutions.

That’s why they have to do this culture war bullshit. Their actual policies are so wildly unpopular that they have to trick people into thinking they can save them from the gay trans liberal cats and dogs or something.

I felt that this 60 minutes interview wasn’t fair AT ALL and heavily slanted toward calling the Harris/Walz campaign on the most trivial shit.

For example, calling out Walz on the few times he’s misspoke and then asking how the voters can trust him.

Fuck allllll the way off with that bush league line of goddamn questioning. It’s not comparing apples to apples to pretend Walz is some huge liar when Trump and Vance lie literally every time they open their mouths with egregious, dangerous and racist lies. It’s disingenuous and ridiculous “reporting”.

Same with saying Harris’ plan would hurt the economy. Trump had Obama’s economy served up to him on a silver platter, tanked it (partial credit to Covid and the war in Ukraine as aggravating factors), and is pretending it’s all the Biden-Harris administration’s fault. Macroeconomically America is recovering from its recent economic downturn, similarly to Canada. Maybe, just maybe, the middle class is not feeling this because of wage suppression, corporate greed, price gouging and purposeful, weaponized incompetence by the Republicans in Congress.

I don’t know enough details about her particular circumstances to make a comment in that regard.

I would never invite the police into my home absent a warrant. The conversation would be discontinued as soon as they could not charge.

I understand she’s upset but being emotional about it and yelling about it is not helping her long term. IANAL but don’t talk to the cops without sound 3rd party representation.

I agree with her filming, however.
