Holy mackerel, you’re right! THIS is better!
Holy mackerel, you’re right! THIS is better!
Yes, perfect!
Might be more accurate with the image of Grandpa yelling at the sky for Trump.
AbanTEDment Cruz? I’m not very good at this game, but it’s fun.
I’m not familiar with this. Can you give a “for example?”
And this time IDF didn’t shoot them!
Clarence Alito Otherfolk? Man, that guy.
Times change a few years later, but I wouldn’t bank on that non-escalation theory here.
I thought the exact same thing! At the time, I’d heard rumors that the entirety of USSR’s air defense was smoke and mirrors. This isn’t helping to refute those decades old rumors, if there is anything to refute.
Then again, with that same theory, he could just eliminate Congress altogether before the voting starts for impeachment. Or place specific justices on house arrest before they vote. Basically, the idiotic idea of a president not beholden to laws is mostly the same as a despotism if the “president” wishes it to be.
Yeah, fair enough. Especially the SC/Constitution-doesn’t-matter-anymore thing. Geez. What a mess we’re in.
Personally, I’d love to see a future Buttigiege/AOC ticket, but I’m not sure how well that would work in a general election. Who knows in 4 years, though?
AOC isn’t even old enough to run. I am thinking you haven’t thought through your argument as thoroughly as you think you have.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say they were defending themselves, but they certainly earned the right to a retaliatory strike. Whether the obvious ineffectiveness of their strike was a bug or a feature is up for debate. I, personally, think they knew what they were doing.
As for the sanctions, from US politics, there are a few countries who can never do anything correct, e. g., Iran, Cuba. And one that can do no wrong, e. g., Israel. It’s asinine, but that’s how it is.
I love the autotldr bot, but I’m glad I clicked through on this one. This guy was the sort of hero I’ve hoped existed in the modern world, not just history books. The article does include a photo his wife took of his torture bruises, so be warned (I don’t consider it particularly graphic, but I am not you).
Same. Upvote if I think it’s important for others to see.
It’s not as simple as people pretend. But not all that complicated, either. 65 was the “full” retirement age before law changes in the 80s. For most workers today, it’s 67. But wait! The amount you will get per month from social security depends on 2 things – how much you paid into the system, and what age you actually are when you retire. You can start collecting at 62, but it will be considerably less per month than if you retire at the full retirement age. And to confuse things more, you can keep working until 70(?) and the amount you will get continues to increase every month, so I’m not sure why full retirement age is 67 instead of 70.
Mass extermination, from the sounds of it.
Does this mean those owing state taxes to Alabama can deduct all their frozen embryos on their taxes?
Gotta watch out for those 5-year-old Hamas members, I suppose /s
I love the skull subtly lurking in the sand.
