"Arab-backed"?

The vote in the 15-member Security Council was 13-1 with the United Kingdom abstaining, reflecting the strong support from countries around the globe

German isn't a Latin language, it's in the Germanic branch, along with English, Dutch and others. French, Italian and Spanish are Romance or Latin languages.

It's way more than one guy, it's an example.

I don't have a problem with the smell - if anything I love smelling it everywhere. It reminds me that the world can get better.

But people vaping large stinking clouds annoys me, so I can sympathize. I don't think that people should go to jail for annoying others though.

4.5 hours to reschedule a cancelled connecting flight, which was then also cancelled and required another 3 hours in line the next morning, after a couple hours sleep on the floor. This was at Seattle airport during the bad holiday delays like 2 years back

I'm sure not paying it will leave him with plenty of rubles.

If a problem is foreseeable and unaddressed, it's intentional.

Republican leadership has been quite open about the fact that they don't have an electorally viable constituency anymore.

They painted themselves into a demographic corner by embracing the backlash against civil rights wins in the 60s. The southern strategy worked for a few elections, but you can't win elections by embracing a dying group of extremely conservative white racists while the US populace gets less white and more progressive.

For at least 20 years republicans have been failing to find voters who want their ideas, and failing to find the courage to change their ideas. They're fully aware that the will of US voters is an existential threat to their party. They've been heading towards authoritarianism with their eyes open.

Troll.

I'm hoping for an interview with an Etruscan king on why Italy has no distinct culture of it's own.

I don't think that generalisation is as applicable as it was back when we were a sole superpowerand there was a the bipartisan consensus on foreign policy.

Polls from a month or less back were showing that just over half of all Democrats and half of 18-35 y/os believe Israel is commiting genocide. Of the rest, more were undecided than didn't think it was a genocide. Democrats and youth care about this issue. Large voting blocks in key swing states care about this issue.

You just can't support a war that over half your base call genocide and think it's not going to hurt you. It will absolutely drive down youth and Arab-American turn out, which is very dangerous for Democrats.

Issues are relevant beyond the immediate community of the affected. You think only Palestinian people care about this issue?

When the government does this it's partly to show some action and partly to prevent a headline like "We deported this man. A week later the Israelis killed him in an air strike on a hospital"

The issue was when the deferment was in place. It no longer is, which is why we're deporting people back to Venezuela as of October.

It seems like you're trying to suggest that the impact to democratic turn out in Nov is not a huge factor in this decision, despite the article repeatedly pointing out the problems our support for Israel is generating for Democrats.

I didn’t know that noncitizens can vote.

You know I mean the issue is getting electorally relevant right?

You know shit's getting electorally relevant when the US starts treating refugees with a hint of basic human dignity.

Because russia is also a brutal imperialist horror show?

Surely not child sex trafficker matt gaetz?

He's fucking himself?

“I thought — this is going to be normalized at some point,” Scott said. “The way our society is going, and the direction we’re going, this is going to be normalized.”
“There is a lot of documentation out there,” Scott insisted. “If you just google it, people showing it, and how they’re doing it.”

After watching a decade old David Spade show! 😂

Of the Republican party's two main factions - the grifter wing and the rube wing - it's pretty clear which one she caucuses with.
