I think there are other possible conclusions that are less about anything good and more about destroying perceived enemies.

When I say we, I’m speaking as an American, and more generally talking about the broader world. We stepped in in Kosovo, we stepped in with the Yazidis. Far more often, though, the world does not police genocide attempts. It protests them, tries to apply the international justice system to the perpetrators, but does not take strong measures to halt the killing.

Here’s a list for the past 24 years:

Generally speaking, we do not police the world, and instead leave local affairs in the hands of whatever country they are happening in, for the vast, vast majority of countries. This makes any strategy to try to halt a genocide by appealing to the world unlikely to succeed. Netanyahu knows this, and is probably counting on it. While I support a Two State Solution, I don’t think this is good strategy for accomplishing it, and is far more likely to accelerate the destruction of the Palestinian people.

I don’t see hamas as freedom fighters at all. I see them as misguided jihadists with an effective propaganda wing and a savvy sense for politics.

I appreciate the sentiment, but somebody should’ve pointed out to them how many genocides we’ve stopped vs how many we’ve allowed to happen over the past half century.

I don’t think Oct 7th was about Palestinian freedom, at any rate. I don’t think hamas leaders living in the UAE give a rats ass about the survival of Gazan citizens. They’re just another tool to be taken advantage of. If hamas was really interested in Palestinian freedom, they would have granted elections in the region they controlled.

These kinds of projects are good for crowd sourcing. Nobody has read all 900 pages, and watched all the speeches and read all the articles, etc etc. But the community taken together, can. Or at least come much closer anyway.

They were proud of it up until not long ago, trusting to the ignorance of the “average American” about policy details. Then the Supreme Court ruling came.

Whoever added the citations to this is doing extremely important work. It needs to be finished though.

That doesn’t even look poured, haven’t they ever seen a grout line? It looks like a shaped piece, where you’re not quite able to get it completely perfect, just really close.

Pretty tame stuff really. Video would also show he spoke pretty softly and soothingly during that debate if memory serves. I watched it live.

Biden ran on a return to sensibility, bipartisan dialogue and functional government. That’s the opposite of “taking the fight” to anyone. He didn’t start acting aggressive in the slightest until the last State of the Union.

He even went out of his way to sound calm most of the time.

I support her challenge, but she needs to tell us how she would deal with republicans. I’m not dumb enough to think we can just promise single payer health care, for instance, without a plan for how to actually make that happen when we don’t have the seats or the Supreme Court.

I remember Obama. Hope and promises aren’t good enough. What’s your plan for combating obstruction? Biden had a plan for that, and was able to actually deliver some stuff.

Til I hear something workable on that, I’m going with the experienced guy.

Bah. We would merely invoke Article 5, making any attack on us an attack on the UK itself.

The idea that you actually need courts behind you is laughable. Power is enforced through the threat of violence, this is how law enforcement functions. Courts do not have soldiers.

Know who does? Commander-in-Chief, now with full immunity for any official act, like, giving orders to the military.

One could say perhaps the soldiers themselves would be afraid of prosecution and would disobey orders, since they don’t get immunity. Until the President pardons them anyway.

Otherwise only one last line of firm defense remains: the oath each serviceman takes to defend the Constitution against all threats, foreign and domestic. That might make someone disobey an illegal order.

Remember the write-in uncommitted thing? Those were primaries.

They’re still not needed. Unless you think Oct 7th saved Gazan lives. Or that future attacks on the IDF will save any Gazan lives.

And this is presumably an early model, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they specifically want it to appear careful for the demo video.

It’s pretty common actually. There is a large walk-in cooler in the back where perishable backstock is stored. When new apples are needed, a big box is fetched from the cooler and the apples are restocked in the display.

Most of the stuff is kept in the back cooler, only things left out are those harmed by refrigeration like tomatoes or those that don’t go bad for a long time.

With apples it extends their life by quite a long time though. Probably over double.

Preposterous. Humans are far too stupid to have come up with the triangle on their own. That’s as ludicrous as thinking crabs could have evolved naturally. Sideways walking and eyes on stalks? Simple absurdity, they are clearly alien pets of some sort.

Ah, it’s last year vs this year. I get it.

Obviously. Haven’t you seen Battlefield Earth?

7-8 billion actually. But I suppose they rounded up.

I think it’s safe to assume that a person wants their society to function smoothly. But yes, I suppose it is technically different.
