Re: Storming The Capital 2: A Counter Storm is Coming

Not really surprising considering how many, from Donald on down have consistently called them political prisoners, hostages, etc.

Now they continue to attack the officers.

Re: Hamas fires 7000 rockets at Israel, starting major war

Netanyahu doesn't want the hostages released. It's used as a reason for his continued actions in Palestine. So he can remove them from the land, and absorb Gaza into Israel. The war also keeps him in power. This is what happens when you have authoritarians in power, countless people suffer. The best...

The "Where's Daddy?" thing has been floating around several sites, and I'm led to believe it's a thing. It doesn't seem to matter to the AI if the intended target is home or not, so it will kill the target family instead, women, or children, and innocent males (they generally get left out ...

Re: WTF is wrong with the world

The killing to the aid workers has lead to another aid group ceasing operations. Netanyahu seems determined that the Palestinians should suffer, that civilians should be collectively punished. Starvation is a horrible way to kill innocent people.

Re: WTF is wrong with the world

The killing of the WC workers was not an accident.

IDF hit 3 vehicles, that were not near one another.

One vehicle could certainly be an accident. 3 of them, with 3 different missiles, is not.

The Israeli government is doing a horrible, horrible job of representing Israelis.

Re: Republican House Committee's plan for 2025

Is there that much of a lack of curiosity, that if a subject comes up there is no desire to know more about it? A lot of this centers on Project 2025 which may be the blueprint a second Donald presidency follows. It may not be Donald's design, but then little of his first term was his by design. The...

Re: MAGA outraged over Biden White House Easter Egg Roll

Just because you didn't see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Donald's campaign issued a statement.

Fox News covered it

Twitter was ablaze with indignation about it

The general reaction wasn't outrage to the outrage, it was eye-rolling

Re: Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse live: Many casualties feared

Dolphins are smart, but I don't know if they could have done anything with the cargo ship, even with huge schools of them. And why would they cooperate? They'd probably be "Screw you, humans".

What? Not that kind of dolphin? Why would they name it the same thing, then? That's just stupid.

Re: Hamas fires 7000 rockets at Israel, starting major war

I don't think Biden has done a good job of managing the situation. He's letting Netanyahu control the policy

I get that the armaments that the US is sending are part of an agreement, but surely Biden can do something different.

It is bizarre. Complaining about the lack of religious symbolism was an insult to Christians during his EASTER CELEBRATION.
