Since when does anyone claim the right to have a specific judge do the officiating? The couple had someone else do it and no harm.

If you look at the background, you’ll see the white balance of the photo is different. It’s the same coat, the photo is just tinted differently.

Absolutely. This should not have been difficult; “we grieve the loss of these children and something needs to be done to force both sides into a ceasefire” was too controversial for the mega donors of Biden/Harris. Any talk at all of nudging the rightwing Israeli government was too unpalatable even though Chuck Schumer himself was publicly criticizing Netanyahu.

How would that vote be held if the original Martial Law declaration banned Parliament from meeting? It seems like a gigantic loophole they need to close immediately before the president or a successor tries this again.

If he pardoned only his son it would be hypocrisy.

A little, but they lost many many votes by shutting out any pro-Palestinian voices from the DNC. They wouldn’t even let Palestinian-Americans endorse Harris at the convention, let alone talk about Palestinians suffering (but they stacked the convention with Israeli-Americans and families of hostages).

Is there any way to defend Biden’s failed policies without mentioning Trump?

Republicans rage daily about something or another. Even after winning the election they still need something to hate.

Good question. Pressure your employer or HR about it, they have the power to pressure the managers of the fund to divest.

Divestment has worked for large institutions; for example my university divested from some industries with bad human rights abuses.

"Trump did worse" is not a principle.

Thank you! It’s been so aggravating, it’s like they are unable to defend Biden’s awful policies without saying Trump’s name.

Maybe the part about telling children they have a mental disorder is why they’re upset…

If you care you’re a good person. If you pretend to care in order to network then you’re being mildly manipulative.

Yes this is rage bait using an old meme from back when Johnny Ive was working for Apple; the top MacBook is from 2015 and for the last few years they put back MagSafe, HDMI, headphone port, and SD card readers.

If you’ve got no idea then why argue?

There isn’t a competition in the market between Malaysian washing machines vs Chinese washing machines, in reality the tariffs will affect Chinese goods mainly, and any industry will raise prices to pocket the difference as we saw in the above example. It was more than just a single appliance that raised the prices.

Netanyahu truly doesn’t care about them, which is why he’s refusing deals that return all the hostages in exchange for a few weeks of ceasefire then permission to resume bombing.

If that were a valid explanation then why is the bill banning any adult recognition of trans adults?

There’s a different conversation on whether to allow gender affirming therapy for minors.

Just waiting for him to overdose on the ketamine he’s so fond of.

Correct. Trump’s 2017 tariffs raised the price of foreign made dishwashers by 20%. American manufacturers also jacked up the cost of their appliances, in order to match that price that customers were paying for the other brands, pocketing the difference.

We tried this in 2017. Trump put tariffs on dishwashers, and American companies just raised their prices to match, pocketing the difference.

This was tried under Trump the first time and it was an abject failure.

Trump’s tariffs raised the price of foreign made dishwashers by 20%. American manufacturers also jacked up the cost of their appliances, in order to match that price that customers were paying. As a result there was no incentive to change consumer behavior and there was no boost in “buying American.”
