I launch 20 rockets at a military base
Which military base did the pagers go off in? This is more like dropping bombs on a school or hospital because you think there are some military personnel inside. Oh wait, they do that too. I can’t believe Israel managed to get a bunch of idiots to defend IED’s.
Well let’s see, the FBI calls international terrorism “Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups who are inspired by, or associated with, designated foreign terrorist organizations or nations (state-sponsored).” And I’d argue the pagers were state-sponsored, violent, and to my knowledge criminal since killing civilians is typically viewed as criminal.
But I really like how Wikipedia words it:
the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims. The term is used in this regard primarily to refer to intentional violence during peacetime or in the context of war against non-combatants (mostly civilians and neutral military personnel). There are various different definitions of terrorism, with no universal agreement about it. Different definitions of terrorism emphasize its randomness, its aim to instill fear, and its broader impact beyond its immediate victims.
Do I really need to spell out for you how using an IED to kill whoever happens to be near it when the detonator is pressed fits this definition? If so I’d like to see why you think Oct 7th was a terrorist attack.
Are those the only requirements you think make something an act of terror?
Well that’s the article my boss used to “prove” to me that trump wasn’t associated with it. It’d be nice if honest reporting wasn’t immediately cast out as being leftist.
Florida follows the guidelines of the state they’re convicted in
Yes that’s my point, a very large asterisk imo
no room for ambiguity or an “asterisk” in his legitimacy,
Except for that tidbit about people who attempt to overthrow democracy aren’t eligible to have their seat at the table, sure.
Don’t most countries?
it only takes five minutes
Sure, if I park on the sidewalk and skip everyone waiting in line. It actually takes less than 5 minutes.
If I had a single private phone call with Putin I’d have lost my security clearance before I hung up the phone.
She said on X that it did not “reflect the GOP values”, referring to the Republican Party, and noted thousands of Puerto Ricans served in the military.
They’re not garbage because they served?
The one lying that it is all fair, or the crybaby who says its not.
Yep, that’s the only difference between the two candidates. You nailed it!
(This is sarcasm. You’re an idiot.)
Had a puzzle thrown at me by my DM this weekend.
I have scales but no wings, I guard treasure, precious things. Though I breathe no flame or fire, My riddles stir minds to inquire. What am I?
!a book!<
He admitted it was written by ai. I did not guess correctly.
The article didn’t make a claim. It’s reporting on claims made by other people. There’s more to an article than the title but even the title isn’t explicitly stating what he did is illegal. It’s literally reporting on people accusing him of it yet you latched on to the accusation like they’re reporting it as fact, also known as strawman.
Purposely obtuse, got it. Go strawman somewhere else
Derek Muller, an election law expert at Notre Dame Law School, said Sunday that “when you start limiting prizes or giveaways to only registered voters or only people who have voted, that’s where bribery concerns arise.” “By limiting a giveaway only to registered voters,” Muller added, “it looks like you’re giving cash for voter registration.”
Does lemmy.ml prevent you from reading articles or are you being purposely obtuse?
Israeli-American billionaire Miriam Adelson has spent $95 million on her political action committee (PAC)
The loophole is in the opening sentence though. We gotta ban pacs (difficulty god mode)
Do you think the federal government bank rolls campaigns?
Because males were females until the right amount of chemicals were introduced to the fetus. Take enough estrogen and males can produce milk and no longer have useless nipples.
Staying home when you know a rapist has a chance is still making a choice.
