Did she say something like: "I swear to Allah, you are on the right side of history"? I mean, I'm OK with the general sense that Allah is your God as a Muslim, but in this context, hmm, not a good look.

I have no idea what you are trying to say with this post, other than you seem to be agreeing with me that you are a fool to think the common person in Gaza is being given the story about Hamas causing the damage.
-
What on God's green earth makes you think this news is making it into a bomb shelter in Gaza? Wait I know, because that is what we would do, and Hamas is just like us.

(Potential Newsom 2024 POTUS Implications) Who Will Replace Diane Feinstein In The US Senate?

Same. He would be a formidable opponent. We got to know him here in Phoenix; I always pegged him as a conservative. Wade, meh, too much baggage. I don't know him enough to speak to his intelligence. Oprah would obviously be a major force, presumptive favorite, in almost any race she entered. I would hope she channels her inner conservative as well. Markel -
I think a lot of Arab lands including Hamas control the media that their people hear, and they will play the reports of Israel bombing the hospital on repeat to rile the masses up. Or your Leftist model is accurate - free speech reigns in Gaza and they are all up on the update. Fool

Well, that's nice but the damage is done. All of the MSDNC outlets ran right away with the statement from Hamas, a known lying sack of shiot terror organization. Because it fits their message of moral equivalency. Now those lies are being spread throughout Arab lands, and just a hunch. Those folks (including Hamas, who controls all info to their people) will not be as quick to communicate the correction.

That's quite amazing. Could that possibly be an oversite? -

Transgender World Cup swimming races scrapped after no one enters

Is Social Security a socialist program? I never thought of it as such. We pay into it as we work, then get money back when we retire. I know that in practice it doesn't work that way -- the government can't help itself and spends the money put in, then borrows to pay out. And we need to increase the age of access for it to remain solvent. But I don't think the underlying concept is socialist. Medicare I need to learn more about, unfortunately. I know that it costs money to get it (at least if I were to get it), so it isn't completely an entitlement. -
Well to be fair, if there were any authoritative women in Palestine, Hamas would rape them and throw them off a tall building. And don't even mention Trans folks. So they probably are all guys.
-
This false moral equivalency is pathetic. This whole thing is tragic because Hamas attacked and sought out babies to burn and women to rape and kill. Every death is on them. If you advocate that Israel not respond, you tacitly defend the actions of Hamas, and you encourage Hamas to attack again and seek out women and children to kill. Put down the blue pills, they are clouding your judgment.
-
I for one would not advocate our POTUS going to somebody else's active war zone. That being said, it was said above that Israel itself is not in imminent danger. If true, I guess I don't have a problem with it. But I find it hard to believe it is THAT safe. Also, what exactly is he going to do? I doubt the IDF needs a doddering fool to babysit.
-
Next in line is the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. I had to look that up - Patty Murray of Washington. I would guess that a temp person would not apply

Yep. Most likely a Hamas oopsie, followed closely by Hamas doing it on purpose. Israel doing it is a distant third, but frankly I wouldn't care if they did it. Hamas has no soul; they put their military structures in hospitals and other civilian areas in direct contradiction of the rules of war, because they rely on our reacting with western values. They are not human, as we define human. They take pipes we send to improve the water supply, the supply they soiled with their tunnels, and they turn them into fusilages for rockets. They take concrete for infrastructure and turn it into more tunnels. They use their people as human shields, and they prevent them from leaving, because they need the shields. Give people as much time as practical to leave, into Egypt or one of their many Arab brethren countries (but shockingly, they won't let them in, because they don't want the Hamas cancer spreading into their countries. This also is Israel's fault I presume). Anyway, let people get out who can, then turn Gaza into a sheet of glass. There is no "oh noes, the reciprocation!" One side seeks out and burns and tortures babies, rapes and kills women, and uses their people as shields. The other attacks the military, which is placed in civilian areas, and in doing so kills some civilians. You are on one side or the other; "can't they all just get along" is childish and impossible. If Hamas dropped their weapons today, there would be peace tomorrow. If Israel dropped their weapons today, they would all be dead tomorrow. There is no moral relativism with evil, and there is no negotiating with Hamas. They do not want land, they want to kill all the Jews. They proudly say "you celebrate life, we celebrate death." Just end them already and give them what they want.
-
Yeah, those two are the same. Kinda like "Hamas and Israel each kill children so they are the same."

If by inform people of his character, you mean inform people of allegations which should have been adjudicated back in 2018 or better yet decades earlier, and instead of doing so just throw them out every time he is in the headlines because he plays for a different team than the MSM, then we agree.
-
The Left needs no internal negotiations; they support ALL the moneys for ALL the pet projects, and just print another trillion or two dollars if needed. Much cleaner that way.
-
So this was all addressed five years ago? Why is it coming up again? Wait, I can guess.
-
Thank goodness the unbiased MSM found this story in such a timely manner, and that the wrestlers are coming forward now vs... 30 years ago, or when Jordan was running for Congress. I'm not in any way defending abuse, I'm merely postulating that the timing of these things is quite serendipitous.
-
Back on topic, I agree with this. It's probably a matter of timing: I was 14 in 1981 when Jenilee joined, and girls were... much more interesting than they were a few short years before.

Will you please just delete your account and never return? None of these are MDC, and you look more idiotic every time you post this, if that is possible.

I just came back from 2 weeks in Italy and I must say, their no-tip culture is da bomb! Tell the waiter you want the check and you are paying by card; he brings out the check and a wireless POS device. You look it over, he punches in the amount, you tap the card, and WALLA! you are done and can leave. A few nicer places did add a service fee (it was called something else, can't remember) to cover linens, etc. It was never that much though. And I didn't see any of the things mentioned up thread from Italy, like slice fees etc. Wife and I shared at least one dish more often than not, and I never saw any shenanigans. -
Very sad. Fock cancer.
