Nah, they know that an independent Palestine wouldn't play ball. The Israeli government would after stealing the territory, though.

It fits IMO lol

Who ever claimed that?

A SHITLOAD of people.

It's essentially been the man's entire career

True. I didn't say they were right, just that they were saying it.

If he wasn't publicly speaking up early enough in this case, I'm sure it's because he was bending ears behind the scenes.

No doubt about it.

Not arguing with you, just sort of aghast that anyone (magas excepted - but we expect their opinions to be trash) would try to claim he's not a true servant of the people.

Agreed, though I'd add Neoliberals and people who don't have any ideals of their own but still like discussing politics for the tribalism and the mud slinging. Of course, there's significant overlap between these groups..

Yeah, and I meant to say as much. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough heh

Apology accepted. We all lose our heads or otherwise act stupidly from time to time. Realizing it and owning up to it is how you can tell the good ones from the bad ones, so you're good in my book! You have a great day too 🫶

Hot take: just like beard growth, ass hair doesn't show up until puberty and as such IS pubic hair.

The Tories would if someone found a way.

See, you're an example of someone older who SHOULD be working since you actually WANT to rather than HAVE to. More power to you and I hope you get to keep working for exactly as long as YOU want to!

Cases like yours isn't what's driving the increase though. A combination of economic desperation and pro-corporate gaslighting is forcing and/or coercing people who would prefer to retire to keep working many more years. THAT'S the majority situation.

That would have been glorious 😄

He's currently behind the mango Mussolini in the polls and, other than "at least I'm not the other guy" being a much less effective strategy for an incumbent than a challenger no matter how awful the challenger is, this is the main reason.

Biden may be a corrupt right wing reactionary, but he's not enough of a fool that he's not beginning to realize the fact that he probably has to change course on this or run a very high risk of losing the last fair and open US presidential election.

And without letting Israel demolish and "resettle" Gaza, how are they supposed to get their hands on all of that sweet offshore gas that the Palestinians aren't letting them have anymore?

Whoever is still claiming that Bernie doesn't speak truth to power anymore hasn't been paying attention for the last month or two. Better late than never to return to being the chief advocate for what the people wants but most of Washington doesn't! ✊️

Yep and if they want to continue to receive subsidies, they're going to have to continue to sell shares, eventually leading to either no more subsidies or complete governmental control of the entire industry. Preferably the latter.

Personally, i think they should nationalize the fuel production industry. No one should get rich from a natural resource, especially one that is destorying the planet. Even more so since they have known about it for 70+ years and have been trying to cover it up.

Absolutely! Every industry related to fossil fuels, be it fuel for vehicles, power production or even plastic manufacture and steel smelting, should be nationalized and then phased out as quickly as possible in favor of cleaner and otherwise less hazardous alternatives.

Natural resources, infrastructure and vital base components used in roughly everything should not be owned and controlled by under-regulated for profit entities who will never value long-term or even short term human survival higher than short term profits.

They'll raise prices regardless. The government handouts are just extra profits for what is already one of the most profitable industries in the history of mankind.

I agree. I'd have preferred Bernie and have some reservations about her cozy relationship with the corrupt party establishment, but policy-wise she was definitely the second-best choice in the 2020 primaries.

Not really gone bad as much as "aged past its usefulness as wine and into its usefulness as something much more tasty"

And yours comes off as being smug about having read it, in spite of not having understood key aspects of it.

Unfortunately I'm sure she'll turn this into another fundraiser paid for by her fellow Christian fundamentalists.

She already turned it into a lucrative career on the fascist misinformation circuit days after she first made national news, raking in probably millions of dollars since then.

And yeah, I'm sure you're right that this will serve as an additional income booster for her 😮‍💨

The spoils just so happens to be several cans of tuna.
