I'm old enough to remember when Republicans and Democrats weren't that different...
Same.
There were always key issues that they disagreed on but at the end of the day the majority of both parties just wanted what was best for the country[...]
Literally never been true a day in your life. Politicians all want the same thing: money and power (they use each one to acquire the other). Exceptions exist, but are exceedingly rare; Bernie Sanders is an exception. In the days you're talking about, Democrats and Republicans agreed on critical points like "We need to tax the absolute shit out of Americans"; what they disagreed on was where and how exactly to spend those dollars. It's never been the case that the majority of Congress had a real interest in helping you or me out.
How did the GOP go from that to this white trash hillbilly Nazi bullshit?
All the "real" Republicans quit the party to stay clear of Trump. Only the worst remained, so now it's the party of the worst.
Republicans launched contempt of Congress proceedings against Hunter Biden as a result of his defiance, advancing the resolution in January. Hunter Biden’s team, however, acquiesced before the full House voted on the measure, saying he would sit for a closed-door deposition if Republicans reissued their subpoena — which they did.
I originally upvoted you, but then I took a moment to read your comment more closely.
It needs to be reserved for the most monstrous of crimes and, in this case, 5 undisputed murders plus possibly 5 more?
No. Being convicted of 5 murders does not mean 5 undisputed murders. The primary argument against the death penalty is based on how often we incarcerate innocent or even insufficiently proven guilty people and then the only recourse is letting them out, since we have no recourse after wrongfully executing someone. Portraying the 5 murders he was convicted of as "undisputed" wilfully ignores the single biggest problem with the death penalty.
I still haven't seen independent confirmation of the cable cutting from a non Israeli source, nor have I seen indications of a cut line on any of the looking glass servers I've checked. This bit is important, because we should be able to independently see the results of a cut sea cable.
I think the overall takeaway is that at least some cables took some kind of damage. Blaming Yemeni rebels might be nonsense, though - other actors in the area might have done it.
"Misogyny" is like "homophobia" - the literal definition applies, so it includes people who actively hate women, but it's much broader in scope than that.
2A. All three of your examples are examples of misogyny.
Instead, federal officials accused Assange of violating a very different law when he allegedly conspired with former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to try to break the password of a government computer and gain access to its secrets. It is unclear from the indictment whether Assange succeeded in breaking the password.
He's charged with conspiracy, not actually helping her.
What he did is illegal everywhere. In general, society condemns responding to hurtful words with hurtful physical violence.
The problem is likely the school - especially since you indicated she never got into any trouble. Schools are tightly constrained environments - students can't legally do things adults in the real world generally can, like simply leave. That gives the school a hefty extra burden of responsibilities, including protecting the students from things like hurtful words (which they can do in spades, since the students also have no free speech rights to worry about). I'm completely unsurprised this school failed its responsibility. I, too, went to public school, and I remember all the bullying it consistently let slide.
Also, dishwashers don't really work. You have to wash the dishes before they go in - best it can do is a glorified rinse and then a dry.
