Nonsense. They also uplift people and do a lot of good in the world. Billions of people find benefits in religion. The problem is human nature.

Don’t say “religion” when you only mean Christianity.

It’s such a mild change too. If you make $1.1 million then your NYC taxes go up $2000 under Mamdani’s plan.

We are uniquely vulnerable now.

Imagine a biological weapons attack on the US. Do you think RFK would support giving out the anthrax vaccine after an attack? Would Americans even do it if the government recommended it?

What about telling people to lock down for bird flu?

Influencing public opinion is not part of a prosecution’s mission. Their mission is to seek justice and win in court. (Edit: contrary to below, it’s supposed to be overall about justice, which is why prosecutors have discretion to not try cases and have other roles like support of victims)

Trying to influence the public is actually BAD for prosecutors since it can bias a jury pool and cause a court to grant a change of venue.

You think Jordanians care more about an abstract concept of sovereignty than over their literal Palestinian brothers being genocided?

The king can use this excuse as much as he wants but we know it’s because of US pressure.

Last time 300 missiles overwhelmed Israel’s defenses and they needed US and Jordanian support to take out most of the attack. Both sides learned from the last skirmish.

Well the US started pulling personnel out of the area before the attack and Israel is saying the US helped coordinate the attack.

Iran was planning a massive response, but Israel sabotaged them by blowing up the military command meeting and drone striking missiles sites. Instead of 300 Missiles launched in response it was only 100.

It was delayed by appeals.

Isn’t it obvious? President Xi publicly ordered the Chinese military to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2026.

He could declare victory and go home. Brag that he forced Ukraine into talks and that he stopped Ukraine from joining NATO and got some small land gains.

There’s plenty of assassins out there but the secret service does a good job of blocking the public from getting at him. I’m sure he gets many credible death threats and there’s many would-be assassins; they just haven’t gotten close enough to be considered attempts.

It’s incredible. I protested against him in 2006 for his war crimes, and now he’s come around to admitting they’re happening.

I don’t know what it is with Israeli PMs. Ariel Sharon, himself a convicted war criminal, agreed at the end of his term that pulling out of Gaza was the only way to save Israel and keep their West Bank settlements. Olmert succeeded him and now admits Israel does war crimes. Does that mean in 2050 Netanyahu will admit war crimes took place and that he was against them?

Because Trump pressured Romania to let him out and he fled the country. Now a different court has to start all over with a different case.

Edit: the article says he returned to Romania to face the charges, as a show of bravado to claim that innocent men don’t run. The UK prosecution said “the domestic criminal matters in Romania must be settled first”.

If only he did it properly. The better way to do it would have been via Congress.

Canada has a law that allows cashiers to round up or down. Without this, the US is only making a penny shortage, and you better believe customers will be screaming at cashiers for “stealing their money” if they don’t get their cent back, or shrieking “it’s legal tender!” if cashiers don’t accept their Pennies.

Much easier to pull out after, and I can leave quicker despite taking slightly longer to pull in.

Settlers backed by the Israeli government created the violence that led to the current war.

Trump is breaking all alliances. He wants Europe’s help on Iran and Israel and against China, but they won’t want to help if he’s attacking them. This is backfiring spectacularly.
