Fox Business used to be on all the time at one of the places I ate lunch: No person who is serious about following business news would ever rely upon Fox Business. It exists for one reason: to blame all bad economic news on the Democrats doing something or the markets being afraid that the Democrats are about to do something and crediting all good economic news to the Republicans doing something or the Republicans thwarting the Democrats in some nefarious, economy destroying plot they had. Other than that, it's the same exact shit they have on regular Fox News.

That part doesn't make any sense considering Russia already has far too many rupees that it can't spend and doesn't want any more.

She also demanded he resign or be removed via the 25th Amendment on January 7th, started an impeachment inquiry they lead to a trial over it when that didn't happen, and convened a committee to collect evidence about it and share it with the American people and the DOJ. Pretty much everything within her power and authority to do, she did. Not that you're going to let that get in the way of your hatred, of course.

"Sorry, best we can do is impeaching Joe Biden over the incredible outrage of [offense to be determined later]" House Republicans

We urge President Biden and Congress to work for a ceasefire, the release of the hostages, and a diplomatic solution that guarantees equality, justice, and a thriving future for all.

Sure, but this is delusional. Palestinians didn't have equality, justice, and a thriving future before Hamas' attacks on October 7th and there's no way in hell Israel is going to allow any path to that in response to October 7th. The suggested path is:

Step 1: Hamas launches thousands of missiles and a brutal invasion where they slaughter over a thousand Israelis; filming, reveling in, and justifying the attacks
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Equality, justice, and a thriving future for Palestinians

There's nothing that can happen at step 2 to make that an acceptable process for Israel; they are not going allow the message to be sent that the way to get exactly what you want from Israel is to first slaughter hundreds of Israeli citizens.

It's a nice outcome to wish for, but it's not going to happen as a result of terrorism.

Of what country? Canada?

(that math gives America 23 million adults; I think you mean 2%)

As the university presidents were trying to explain to Clown Shoes, sorry, I mean Elise Stefanik: Harassment is conduct that is severe or pervasive enough to create an environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive. A one-time generalized statement calling for genocide not targeted at a specific individual would not usually rise to the level of harassment per se, but can certainly be part of a pattern of harassment. Similarly, actual bullying is a pattern of abusive behavior and cannot be defined by any single act as it is often used colloquially.

That's the game Stefanik is playing: She knows these universities' policies are bound by the actual, legal definitions of "harassment" and "bullying" but she's counting on her ignorant audience not knowing those definitions and instead thinking the words are defined as what they use them for in their own lives: someone being mean.

Digging into this it looks like only Representative Joe Wilson, who is a total clown, was willing to put his name on this so it's not going anywhere. But what a joke of a proposal.

Joe's career highlight:

In 2018, a segment with Wilson aired as part of Sacha Baron Cohen's Showtime series, Who is America?. Wilson endorses "Kinderguardians", a nonexistent program to teach and arm schoolchildren as young as 3 to protect themselves in the classroom. Advocating toddler carry, he says on camera, "A 3-year-old cannot defend itself from an assault rifle by throwing a Hello Kitty pencil case at it".

all the other moderates had simultaneously dropped out to support Biden.

I love this alternative history where Michael Bloomberg doesn't exist and didn't take more votes away from Biden than Warren did Sanders.

Warren should have know it was Sanders' turn, amirite?

"We have to obstruct justice"

Stupid headline. Literally everyone who reads it is going to think the gold bars in Menendez' possession were stolen property, but they're not and that's not the point of the story at all.

TL;DR: In 2013 thieves stole 22 gold bars from the guy that bribed Menendez. Because he's rich, the cops actually solved the crime and returned the property and, here's the actual important bit: Fred Daibes, the guy that bribed Menendez, signed a release form specifying that the stamped, numbered gold bars were his. Now Menendez has some of them and that provenance makes it a lot easier to show where he got them.
