The problem is that the cops and people with guns will happily enforce these rulings while we peasants can screw off.

They don’t care because they imagine that they’re somehow protected.

But what can we do about it? Short of violence, these justices will continue to ruin Democracy until they die or retire.

Garfield always struck me as a power-bottom.

I watched an interview with her where she said they used CGI to slightly alter the actress(es?) playing her younger self to look more like her (grown up).

The news media doesn’t care about a stable, healthy country. Nobody checks the weather if they know it’s always going to be perfect.

He does longer format (i.e. 1+ hour) where there’s much less animated energy but still lots of cursing. Some of them are interesting (because of the guests), but he’s too full of himself and comes off as unlikable

I think ditching implies some control over the aircraft, versus straight crashing.

There is an old movie called “Mom and Dad Save the World.” It’s pure entertainment.

The planet is full of idiots and one of their most dangerous weapons is the light grenade. Anyone who picks it up disappears in a bright flash. So, why would anyone ever pick up this well-known weapon? Because it says “Pick me up” on the side.

Because it’s US policy.

I don’t think you have any clue what the laws are.

FenrirIII, 2 days ago

You’re quoting a law that doesn’t apply here because US laws exist to be selectively enforced in the interests of the US. It sucks, but it’s been this way since at least WWII. Unless the Secretary of State decides to break decades of bipartisan support for Israel, this law is meaningless.

laws don’t mean anything

Now you’re getting it. This isn’t an argument. It’s an education on how government really works. If Biden was breaking a law, Republicans would immediately pounce to impeach him. But there hasn’t been a peep from them. So, no law is being broken.

No moving the goalposts. There’s a great distance between where people believe the goalposts are (or should be) and where they are in reality. The US has interests greater than simple humanitarian concerns and those laws are never applied unless it’s in the US’s interest to do so.

For example: Saudi Arabia. They’re basically a terrorist state, but the US is buddies with them for access to their oil and to have a friend in the region to be a check against Iran. Haven’t they been complicit in the famine in Yemen. No one gave Trump any shit for supporting them.

Suddenly, here’s Biden continuing longstanding US policy and you all act like he’s a genocidal madman. Where were you when the people of Yemen were starving? You people said nothing. But now it’s suddenly an issue because it’s a Democrat in the Whitehouse. Or is it because it’s Israel rather than a Muslim nation?

The goalposts never moved, you just kept imagining them to be where you wanted them to be. Reality is what it is until someone changes it for the better. Vote locally and focus on the change at the bottom if you want to see change at the top.

Policy is not necessarily backed by law. The US supports Israel because they’re a friendly power in the Middle East. It’s in the interests of the US to have friends in oil-rich regions. Israel is a check against aggressive Muslim nations (e.g. Iran).

Given that Christianity is playing far too big a role in politics, it makes sense that Christians would more closely align with Jews than Muslims.

You don’t understand anything about politics or geopolitical. Glad we’ve cleared that up.
