As a girl, shit.

I live in Canada. I have a couple of US $ bills lying around. Does that make me a criminal?

I went in an elevator today. I'm the real criminal mastermind, you guys.

I'm not American. Maybe my opinion also comes from a place of not understanding how government works in the US. But in 2020, Biden won the Presidency and the Democrats had control of the House and the Senate. Yet, they had a harder time of reversing Trump's policies than he had pushing them through. Let alone not even trying to enact progressive policies.

As an outside observer, maybe that's why people have lost faith in the Democratic party.

I am not American, nor the person you responded to, but in 2020 the Democrats won the white house, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.

As an outsider looking in, why is there the expectation that Kamala doing it again in 2024 will have a different result?

And what are we doing about the others?

Yes but one is treated differently

Right? But we've been convinced the Chinese government spying on us through Huawei is a problem.

The BBC reported it was a Taiwanese brand to let a Hungarian company manufacture them on their behalf. The pagers were brought to Lebanon 5 months ago. The Hungarian company has been around since about 2022.

For this to be a supply chain attack, the level of sophistication indicates Israeli intelligence was at this for years, from setting up a shell company, infiltrating manufacturing companies, etc. We don't know whether the Taiwanese company was compromised as well.

Now this last part is a bit of a conspiracy theory, but it makes you wonder what the real reason the US banned Huawei. Could they have been approached as a potential manufacturer and they said no? The timeline certainly works.

Edit: BBC link

Times have also changed. The information available on our fingertips is showing that things are not as black and white as they seem. Back during the world wars, mass propaganda convinced us to go fight for imperialist reasons (remember, we did not go to war with Nazis over their treatment of the Jews).

It's a lot harder to convince a populace to go to war when it's not clear the opponent is entirely in the wrong.

It is absolutely antisemitic. Fiddler on the Roof is about the Jewish culture and has nothing to do with Zionism or Israel.

This would be like protesting against Saudi Arabia actions at an Eid festival.

If they plead guilty to avoid being sentenced to death are they actually guilty?

Nobody said anything about combining alcohol and weed.

I said that if you compared alcohol and junk food consumption against weed consumption, you will find that alcohol and junk food (again, not in combination) are objectively worse.

I added marijuana in brackets because I didn't want some idiot to come and argue how cocaine would be worse.

Depending on the drug (marijuana), your alcohol and junk food consumption would be objectively worse.

Edit: Apparently people lack basic comprehension.

"I'm getting my head bashed in by jackboots!"

"Well if it was Trump they'd be using baseball bats. If you vote Biden in, we'll use runners next time"

Couldn't we just outlaw foreign interference?

Yes. But it's not like we're importing humans from other planets.

Is this racism, or are there genuine concerns (they took er jerbs?)

get parents to actually be parents and teach their kids about the pitfalls of social media

Also not possible

I'm just surprised it took this long. I guess we were never able to document Israeli war crimes in real-time before.
