Why not just get rid of Selective Service entirely?

Last week you said you were. Who are you going to vote for now?

Does that mean you’ll stop spamming this community with irrelevant Jill Stein “news” sometime soon?

I dunno man, I generally don’t support policies that exist just make life difficult for people who are already at a disadvantage.

There are so many roadblocks preventing these people from fixing their situation, and the State of California has no power to help them rectify it.

The cost of this program would be pretty negligible compared to other frivolous government spending, which I’m sure you’re equally vocally opposed to.

The bill, by Democratic Assembly member Joaquin Arambula of Fresno, would have prohibited the disqualification of loan applicants to a state first-time homebuyer program for reasons based solely on immigration status.

Not rewarding anybody. Read the article

I can’t see this as anything other than bad.

Now the Trump camp can say “See? We are the peace candidate. The architect of the Iraq war supports the other guys”

There’s tons of people in California that grew up there and work normal jobs who are undocumented basically on a technicality. That’s who this bill was looking to help. Newly landed immigrants are not going to be in a position to buy a house, certainly not in California.

Unfortunately, that does give a lot of ammunition for the right, who have a very warped view of what immigrants look like.

He needs to crawl back into his hole. Who the hell was waiting for Dick Cheney’s endorsement to make a decision?

It’s insane you’re getting this downvoted. Domestic violence from men against women is a massive global issue, and putting your hands over your ears and saying “ well I’m not the problem” is not doing anything. This problem will never get solved until men take ownership over it and stop it.

“How can I blame muslims for this”

It doesn't really make sense for them to destroy what little leverage they have like that.

I’m mad that the Gmail icon is no longer an envelope, but other than that they’re fine.

Yeah, I can’t find the raw numbers which is unfortunate, but I think my point stands. The study you linked is different, 60% of Americans as a whole opposed to just Democrats.

Among Democrats who actually care about the issue, the majority want restrictions on arms to Israel. This is admittedly whittling things down a bit, but these are the people the Democrats need to win over. There’s a path to victory by getting a coalition of progressives + people who don’t really care. The die-hard “let’s kill more Palestinians” people are just going to vote Republican either way and trying to pander to them is a losing strategy.

Can you link that poll please? I’ve seen it as well, but can’t find it again.

I’m pretty sure you’re misrepresenting it, one of the options was “uncertain” at around 35%. “doing too much” was the predominant view.

This is akin to saying “only 30% of Americans voted for Joe Biden and he somehow still won” neglecting to mention that you’re including non voters.

Combination of Peter Thiel’s money and Trumps endorsement.

I used to love Simpsons Wrestling, because I didn’t know any better. I think I was too young to really grasp the concept of a “bad game” yet.

Its still fun to spin up in a nostalgic sort of way.

Seriously, this speech might as well have come from Biden.

There was a lot of excitement around her possibly being a departure from Biden’s agenda, and this speech was supposed to show us who she is and how she’ll govern. We got an incredibly right-wing speech after she rode on a wave of progressive momentum. I suspect that momentum will slow now. Leave it to Democrats to shoot themselves in the foot at every turn.

Wii was Revolution. Can't remember WiiU

I'm aware of that, but when the founder and main host is spreading false and misleading information on the show, it calls into question the whole enterprise.

I do occasionally tune in to episodes not hosted by him, with some skepticism if the issue is in any way politically charged.

Canadaland has lost a lot of credibility with me after all the shit Jesse Brown has been spewing post October 7.

I won’t deny that their coverage of this issue has been good though

This is some grade-A BlueMAGA shit
