This guy’s so weird. Him and his wife give creepy vibes. Why are they always awkwardly sitting together on a couch.

Does their pension fund invest in Israel? Do they purchase products or services from companies headquartered in Israel? That’s the big picture that protesters are addressing.

Notice how Trump dilutes and distorts the meaning of words on purpose so they don’t hit as hard when used toward him. I find it terrifying that he’s openly calling everyone a fascist. He’s being honest about his true intentions, America.

When someone tells you who they are, believe them!!!

This feels like it’s just a way to get around Pride in June.

Didn’t read the article before I said this. Why are my shittiest suspicions about Desantis always right.

Show me where I said “he couldn’t possibly be connected to Hamas?”

But technically if you want to make the argument that Israel is responsible for Hamas, shouldn’t they be stopping every Israeli at the border in the US?

No, it seems they’re targeting this guy in particular because he advocates on behalf of Palestine.

Idk what you’re trying to say here.

He’s an Israeli scholar who writes about the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

He’s Israeli.

lol and also see John Mulaney’s latest “Baby J” on the topic of doctors prescribing whatever:

Paraphrasing - what you do is you go to Yelp and look up doctors in your area. And then you sort by lowest rating and you find the lowest rated doctor. They need your business.

This one I’m not so scandalized about. I’m sure every White House admin does this - they have hard and punishing international work where they need to be sharp. Ronnie Jackson was there during Obama too.

(that’s what railing means)

Says Trump who is nonstop railing Adderall

Have you considered that the economy is a lagging indicator meaning it can take years for any policy good or bad to take effect?

Obama inherited bad fiscal policy. Trump inherited the economy that Obama put into place with his policies guiding America through the recession. That’s why the economy under Trump was “good” Covid, major war, supply shortages, inflation got us here. Biden has spent the last 4 years turning this around but it is an uphill climb.

This sounds like dementia.

I should mention this link is from a tax firm almost glorifying the way that ikea has structured themselves. It’s a very charitable reading of the situation.

Just google IKEA tax, there’s tons of sources on their alleged tax evasion, including it seems claims by the EU that the Netherlands facilitates it.

I see this as corporate greed pure and simple. There is no reason people should be starving and unhoused while IKEA dodges taxes.

And they don’t pay taxes, apparently. So yeah we’re getting cheap furniture but I do wonder if the net benefit to society would be better if they paid tax.

What the SC is debating, if I understand correctly as a non-American, is YES it’s likely that ex-presidents are not immune from prosecution, however the question is a distinction between “official” vs. “Unofficial” acts, and WHEN those acts were performed (during the presidency or after???). This is such a devious way to appear moderate to swing voters who may be uninformed.

For example, if Dubya goes and shoots someone today, well yeah duh he’s an ex-president that can be prosecuted.

McConnell is framing this in the most innocuous way to purposefully confuse the argument for those who are not paying attention, imo, and to not say the quiet part out loud: Republican ex-presidents shouldn’t be prosecuted but Democrats, on the other hand….

Because both parties are owned by corporate interests and it’s not the voters who truly decide who gets on the ticket.

I thought the Fraternal Order of Police was making enough on the kickbacks from telemarketing scams?

lol you don’t even know why you’re downvoting this. Go watch the documentary.

You’re missing that the special counsel saying this was extremely editorialized, unprofessional, and dubious at best. This is the counsel’s opinion without facts to back it up.

Whereas Trump falling asleep actually happened without editorializing. NYT is just reporting facts.

I don’t understand how Israel can sit there and justify being evil by claiming everyone has ties to Hamas. Like yeah, they’re the terrorist group ruling Gaza, I’m sure everyone knows someone involved with them.

By that logic, since the IDF has been terrorizing Palestine for decades, and since military service is mandatory in Israel, are there no true civilians and only terrorists in Israel too?

Of course that’s silly, but it’s a good way to point out how flawed Israel’s logic is when they always claim casualties in Palestine have ties to Hamas.
