TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that a “tragic mistake” was made in an Israeli strike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah that set fire to a camp housing displaced Palestinians and, according to local officials, killed at least 45 people....
I’m not sure what the Microsoft screen capture thing has to do with anything in this conversation. I wasn’t aware of that, but I will look into since you mentioned it though.
But if OP is posting a link to a legit article. That’s not an opinion, that’s facts.
Something can be a legitimate news article from a reputable source, and still be full of horseshit and misinformation. So, I fail to see your point. Also, I’m not sure that downvoting really matters on Lemmy because it doesn’t hide content or comments the way it does on Reddit, so who cares?

He knew this shit wouldn’t be popular with his base
Did he though? I think it is much more likely that he is either:
(Most Likely Scenario): Living in the past, is completely out of touch with the modern liberal voter base, and is under the illusion that some segment of the older moderates in the base still actively give a fuck about supporting Israel.
(Less Likely Scenario): Trying to strategically thread the needle because he knows that attacking Israel will cause them to further undermine American democracy, and lead to them playing double agent while they assist Russia in installing Donald Trump as president.
In either scenario I believe he thought he was preserving his election chances. What these fucking morons in the entrenched neo-liberal political class fail to realize is that the overwhelming majority of the electorate does not want the US involved in funding any more offensive conflicts, and that there are actually repercussions for the moral disgust people feel over their tax dollars being used to murder innocent people. At some point the “vote for me or get fucked in the ass” proposition fails to be effective anymore, and people just bend over.
I see. That isn’t how I interpreted their comment, but I do agree with that assessment. Even if Cannabis was federally legalized I’m not sure that the federal government could force states to retroactively overturn convictions, but I am just making an assumption as that is beyond the scope of my legal knowledge.
This isn’t entirely true. Many states who have legalized Cannabis have expunged convictions off of people’s records automatically, or have created a process where an individual can request it.
And here’s one more technicality about scheduling an early debate: If the debate is a complete debacle for one of them, each party technically has time and a process to change nominees. After all, this first debate will take place before either candidate is the official nominee of their party....

It’s kind of disappointing how people tend to use the upvote/downvote buttons. Sure, if it’s an opinion you don’t like, then downvote it to hell....
