You sound in bad faith or unaware of what Trump has said.

Trump's quotes on the genocide:

Israel should "finish the problem."

On Biden's administration: “Frankly, they got soft.”

"When President Trump is back in the Oval Office, Israel will once again be protected, Iran will go back to being broke, terrorists will be hunted down, and the bloodshed will end.”

“Fully support Israel defeating, dismantling, and permanently destroying the terrorist group Hamas,” while telling the Republican Jewish Coalition later that month that Hamas fighters “will burn forever in the eternal pit of hell." That month, his campaign also said that, if elected again, he would bar Gaza residents from entering the U.S. as part of an expanded travel ban.

“Gaza’s waterfront property could be very valuable,”

I can see some kind of game/minute limit coming in maybe, but that would be an advantage to the bigger clubs with better squad depth.

Exactly. The difference between Man City playing 61 games in 2022/23 and 66 games in 23/24 versus LAFC (my team) playing 53 games in a season is that City has a second team that could challenge for the PL in addition to their first team while LAFC's second team could barely beat a 3rd tier team that doesn't have their own stadium. If City had a cap like MLS, they couldn't challenge for every competition like they do now. Look at how Seattle did in the regular season when they won the CCL. Teams who can compete with their second team will dominate with minute caps.

So the party that wants to have the responsibility of running the most powerful nation in the world didn't double check the title of the paperwork they submitted?

This isn't a normal person getting the wrong tax form in the mail and not noticing it. This is an entire party with nationwide offices and tons of people supporting it failing to recognize they were filling out the wrong form.

The more important question is, "when did they submit the paperwork and when were they notified that the paperwork was incorrect?" If the gap is really small, then they should have filed sooner. If the gap was really long, then maybe there was some fuckery going on.

EDIT - That said, I still hate when minor technicalities thwart important things.

The party of fiscal responsibility really showing up!

We could have a machine count that is faster, cheaper, AND more accurate.... but let's spend millions of dollars to pay a whole bunch of people to slowly count millions of votes, some of whom might have political motivations to not be 100% accurate or who are, you know, humans who constantly make small mistakes when doing repetitive tasks.

Mehdi Hasan: So you called Netanyahu one, which I think he is.

That's all you need to read. If you are unable to read that one simple sentence, you are too stupid to even have a real conversation here. If you refuse to read that one simple sentence, then you are intentionally trying not to have a real conversation here.

Because with the other 4 world leaders she said a simple, "yes." Every single time she was asked about Putin it was either a "yes..." followed by a qualification or a hedged answer that wasn't a yes.

He wasn't being a dick. He was doing what journalists should do. If she answers with an extremely simple, "yes" every single time Netanyahu and Biden come up but literally every single time he asks about Putin she can't just say, "yes." Every single time she qualifies a yes or hedges without a yes. She doesn't with the others.

She and the green party exist solely to extract money out of credulous idiots who buy the lie that voting for her does anything.

I want to copy this phrase and reply to every single post mentioning her as an alternative to voting for Harris.

The Duke one is interesting. While there was a 6% drop in Asian students at Duke, there was also a 6% increase in students not saying what their race was. The percentage of white students dropped 1%, Hispanic rose 1%, Black stayed the same, Native American stayed the same. So we really don't know how much the Asian student population changed, since it is within the uncertainty of "refuse to identify."

Also, I find it funny that a group that says race-based admissions is racist, is saying that since Asian student numbers went down then CLEARLY there is still race-based admissions. Because assuming Asians are the smartest and most worthy of admission is definitely not racist.

He's a senator, so prepared to be shocked.

Blow up the system by bringing in a person who will install an even worse system. Smart move.

The journalist DID get the correct type of gun. The title is not written by the journalist and is the only place revolver is used.

And the way you say, "what other basic facts have they misrepresented" makes it seem like you think this was an intentional thing to skew the story. Only gun nerds will care about that detail, so the editor/copy person who actually wrote the headline likely did no research at all and just used what normal people think of as a generic term for a gun. The point is that the type of gun is not important. Just like if the person had said the officer was wearing a cotton shirt under his uniform when it was actually a poly-cotton blend, it's not 100% accurate but it doesn't change the point.
