There are days I wait for it, but I imagine one of these days the top is going to pop on South Africa and we are going to not like the skeletons we find there.
So, go and ask Taiwan for unification. Strike a deal, give them rights, allow them to pay taxes.
The problem with Xi, is not his vision, but in his methods.
He has harassed Taiwan for more than decades. Throwing missiles over it's landmasses. Using maps claiming taiwan is in China's territory. Blockades, embargos, and threats of annihilation.
And it isn't like Xi couldn't turn this around, but every day he chooses to escalate tensions in the region rather then reaching for peaceful solution. It is clear his motives are not reunification. At least for the Taiwan people.
I think there is a problem that a sitting senator can use his position of power to call fights on people he doesn't like.
But I don't think he understands the consequences if he loses. Or that there isn't a situation where he really wins outside his ego.
Scenario 1: He loses the fight, people realize that violence solves deadlocked problems. Union Support emboldens.
Scenario 2: He wins the fight, everyone around him including the audience sees an MMA fighter beating the shit out of a union leader in 4k resolution. Union support with GOP would die in an instant. People realize that discussions don't solve problems. ------ civil unrest.
Democratic support will be crucial, because a number of conservative Republicans are already vowing to oppose the measure to protest the absence of sharp spending cuts — a number large enough to sink the bill without help from across the aisle.
Some of the proposals include:
Making discrimination based on abortion care from a company legal
Removal of funds from the IRS, which help reduce the deficit.
Removal of FBI funds
Medicare spending cuts
Funding for Israel
Things that are not included on that list:
Reducing gas prices
Reducing food prices
Reducing housing prices
Reducing student debt
Global warming protections
Just in case anyone was wondering if the Republican party is trying to help the American people.
Justices file the same annual financial disclosure reports as other federal judges.
Can someone tell Justice Clarence Thomas, because he missed that memo. By like a lot. Like an RV size worth, maybe even a property size estate worth.
The Court will also consider whether amendments to its rules on the disclosure obligations of parties and counsel may be advisable.
The Court will assess whether it needs additional resources in its Clerk’s Office or Office of Legal Counsel to perform initial and ongoing review of recusal and other ethics issues.
That's two maybes for what sounds a lot like "no."
That is some seriously bad situational awareness combined with some terribly bad luck for those thieves.
One of the agents opened fire, but no one was struck by the gunfire, the Secret Service said in a statement. The three people were seen fleeing in a red car
Then there is the fortune that they were allowed to flee the scene.... unharmed....
You're getting your news from a republican senator's news page....?
Oh my god, how dumb is that.
UNRWA has a stringent staff conduct framework in place to ensure that staff members do not affiliate
themselves, and by extension, UNRWA, with any other groups. All UNRWA staff, Palestine refugees, and
contractors, vendors, and non-state donors are screened against the Consolidated United Nations Security
Council Sanctions List.
UNRWA does not, and will not, divert any humanitarian aid into the wrong hands. Donor support goes
directly to those in need. The Blackburn letter’s authors are seemingly unaware of the requirements of U.S.
law, or any of the provisions of the US-UNRWA Framework for Cooperation. UNRWA is required to take
all possible measures to ensure funding provided by the United States does not provide assistance to, or
otherwise support, terrorists or terrorist organizations.
This includes reporting requirements on any aid diversions
Last night, one of our fallen UNRWA colleagues included Mai, a person who overcame physical disabilities to
become a front-end developer at the UNRWA Information Technology Service Center. Since the horrific
events of 7-October, UNRWA has already lost Mai and 71 other members of its staff to the conflict. Despite
this, thousands of UNRWA staff, many of whom are now displaced themselves, are still on the job assisting
the 690,000 Gazans sheltering at our 149 facilities, as well as working at our healthcare centres.
But yea, tell me again why this makes it okay to kill children again?
Coming from a guy who had to stomach literally Nazi's waving red flags protesting to kill everyone who isn't their color.
While I would certainly disagree with anyone who agrees with Hamas' use of tactics.
I find silencing them to be completely undemocratic. Obviously there are exceptions, but I think the general public has got a handle on this.
And it is healthy to talk about these kinds of things. Especially as a society, sometimes it is good to rehash these arguments to throw away what is outdated, and bring in new perspectives.
But just note: once the boomer generation is gone, these people who support Israel. And all those rules that have been shifted off to others are going to come back home to roost.
Are you sure that is what you want? Because I can be patient.
It included a policy rider that would have nullified a Washington, D.C., law aimed at preventing employer discrimination on the basis of reproductive health care decisions.
Wow.... Just so you know, these guys are so enamored with the idea of taking away more of your rights, it is the make or break point for some of these spending bills.
Some conservatives, meanwhile, opposed the bill because it did not include language to bar funding for a new FBI headquarters.
Why??? They are the ones who screamed not to de-fund the police right?
saying it still “needs to cut spending,” even as it proposes pulling back and repurposing billions of dollars in IRS funding approved by Democrats in the last Congress.
Every dollar we spend on the IRS is reducing the deficit, this is moronic. This will add spending, not take it away.
Hey boss, sorry going to get you that funding, just have to take 6 months off work first and we will revisit this.
Hey boss, still know you want that money, so we need a bit more time, we are going to kick out the speaker then do cocaine until we elect a new one. Thanks bye!
Hey boss, I just sexually assaulted Roe V. Wade, looks like you got a real problem that you are going to have to take care of. Sorry and wish you the best! lt;3
Hey boss, good news is we elected a speaker, but we don't like him, so we are going to need 45 days to do the whole "money thing" again. I know you wish you could fire me, but get used to it bitch.
Hey boss, looks like we are coming on that deadline....

The answer is, I do not know.
People like Elon's family didn't get rich in an emerald mine without Tesla's business ethics. After all, who do you think Elon learned it from?
And was Elon's family the only one? Are we sure of that? Corruption like that doesn't happen in a vacuum and not without support.
