  1. Yeah you read that right. These guys are CNN — Following what some conservatives view as legal victories on the battlegrounds of abortion rights and affirmative action, a number of politicians and influencers are turning their attention to another long-held construct: No-fault divorce. Right-wing commentators like Steven Crowder and Matt Walsh have ramped up complaints in recent months that it is too easy for people — specifically women — to get divorces. All states currently have some version of a no-fault divorce law, but Republicans in Texas and Nebraska list the dissolution or restriction of no-fault divorce in their state party political platforms. In Louisiana earlier this year, state GOP members debated officially backing the dissolution of no-fault divorce, but no decision was made. A lack of full-on legislative attempts to curb the practice hasn’t stopped an abundance of conservative anti-divorce rhetoric, or an answering wave of fear from progressives. Newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson has been a vocal opponent of no-fault divorce, which allows couples to obtain a divorce without proving fault — and without both parties agreeing to the split. In a 2016 sermon, he claimed it turned the United States into a “completely amoral society.” Though no-fault divorce was first legalized more than 50 years ago, it has long been sneered at in conservative circles, who see it as a danger to the sanctity of marriage and the concept of the American family. For feminists, human rights advocates and others, no-fault divorce is an important buttress for gender equality and directly addresses issues like marital abuse. Many legal minds also see no-fault divorce as a common-sense legal path that reduces unnecessary burdens on courts and couples alike. https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/27/us/no-fault-divorce-explained-history-wellness-cec/index.html

    War in Israel

    Wrong. Ray says it’s not a conspiracy, Israel didn’t let the attack happen on purpose or anything. But then he turns around and says see this is why governments are the sum of all evil and you should never ever trust them!! It does not follow. Really he is a conspiracy nut, not just doesn’t want to admit it. Which is pretty cowardly imo

    He must’ve really got his ass beat too (I only watched about ten minutes). If you’re whining about the reffing that pretty much means you lost

    I think you’d have to be dumb to blindly believe anything anyone says in a war

    Epstein Suicided, Who Are They Protecting?

    Looks like it. Difference is, we’re smart enough to know it’s probably fake

    Well I don’t know what to tell you. Trump knew Epstein and hung out with him. They both liked young girls. Trump said so himself

    Epstein Suicided, Who Are They Protecting?

    It’s probably mutually assured destruction. If Trump and other prominent republicans go down, then so will prominent democrats. As well as wealthy donors for both sides. But personally, I say fock em all

    Ukraine - Doomsday

    A stalemate is a win as far as the US is concerned. Drag Russia down into a quagmire and force them to waste their troops, money and military equipment continuing to duke this thing out. It’s great for us.

    Nah I’d like all the facts to come out on that. I just think it’s hilarious that your boy Trump is definitely high up on the list of offenders (as always!)

    War in Israel

    It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it? Other countries were willing to mostly say and do nothing while Israel bombarded Gaza for six weeks after the attacks. But they’ve killed approximately 13,000 civilians and at this point people aren’t going to sit idly by if Israel picks this back up at the same pace. I think that’s just a fact as far as the international community goes

    Gavin Newsom vs Little Ronald DeSantis

    I’m not watching this whole thing but generally they’re both doing pretty well I’d say. DeSantis seems to do better in this one on one format, though he still sounds like a whiny muppet. Newsome is very polished but seems to make some rather absurd claims and he needs to move on from COVID already

    War in Israel

    I don’t want to go down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole here, but yikes Israel Knew Hamas’s Attack Plan More Than a Year Ago Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show. But Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed the plan as aspirational, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out. The approximately 40-page document, which the Israeli authorities code-named “Jericho Wall,” outlined, point by point, exactly the kind of devastating invasion that led to the deaths of about 1,200 people. The translated document, which was reviewed by The New York Times, did not set a date for the attack, but described a methodical assault designed to overwhelm the fortifications around the Gaza Strip, take over Israeli cities and storm key military bases, including a division headquarters. Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision. The document called for a barrage of rockets at the outset of the attack, drones to knock out the security cameras and automated machine guns along the border, and gunmen to pour into Israel en masse in paragliders, on motorcycles and on foot — all of which happened on Oct. 7. The plan also included details about the location and size of Israeli military forces, communication hubs and other sensitive information, raising questions about how Hamas gathered its intelligence and whether there were leaks inside the Israeli security establishment. The document circulated widely among Israeli military and intelligence leaders, but experts determined that an attack of that scale and ambition was beyond Hamas’s capabilities, according to documents and officials. It is unclear whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or other top political leaders saw the document, as well. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/world/middleeast/israel-hamas-attack-intelligence.html

    War in Israel

    Of course that probably does unfortunately play some part, but it’s not nearly that simple, and you know it. Theres also the issue of international condemnation and the US’s need to maintain moral clarity on human rights and so forth, which is difficult to do when a government that is essentially its proxy is leveling a densely populated city of two million and killing civilians at an extreme rate in the process.

    I wish you guys had some actual feminists here to debate over this. Me, I just don’t care enough, other than to get a chuckle out of what sad little boys you are

    The very concept of having some “body count” that you track and want to know about in romantic partners is puritan. Also incel language, FYI.
