Gonna rig the election by not voting for Trump 10.000.000 times, thus, somehow, giving Biden 10.000.000 votes. Any advice on which states would be best not to vote for a candidate?

Who decided blue is good and red is bad?

Red is way better than blue. Blue is boring. Blue says nothing to me.

Red is powerful, rebellious, passionate, and courageous.

Blue reminds me of accountants, business suits and banks. Blue is a scummy, deceptive color.

Prove me wrong NERDS. You know I'm correct.

Rare good starter pack meme

>In a highly unusual move, the White House has requested for it to be able to conduct arms deals with Israel in complete secrecy, without oversight from Congress or the public — in a time when the U.S. is supporting a military that experts say has been committing war crimes in Gaza and beyond.

>The White House made the request within a $106 billion supplemental defense funding request sent on October 20. As reported by In These Times, the White House is asking for up to $3.5 billion in military funding for Israel to be able to purchase weapons and other equipment, from sources like the U.S. military or U.S. defense contractors, without the spending having to be approved by or even disclosed to Congress.

>Crucially, such notifications to Congress are also logged in the Federal Register, where they are viewable to the public — but the White House is trying to get rid of that transparency for Israel for funding through September 2025 and potentially beyond if Israel chooses to set aside funding before then.

>Experts have said that the move is alarming and rare. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” Josh Paul, the former director of congressional and public affairs for the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs in the State Department, told In These Times. Within the State Department, where he worked for 11 years, Paul helped the bureau in its work on arms deals and resigned in protest of a push to increase arms sales to Israel amid its genocidal siege on Gaza.

> “A proposal in a legislative request to Congress to waive Congressional notification entirely for [Foreign Military Financing ]-funded Foreign Military Sales or Direct Commercial Contracts is unprecedented in my experience,” Paul said. “Frankly, [it’s] an insult to Congressional oversight prerogatives.”

Welp I guess this is what the pivot from "it's not gonna be that bad" to "oh gosh we're fucked" looks like in the popular press

YOU WILL BE CRUSHED

BUT I DID NOT SHOOT CHEF DE PARTIE

FUCKING FUCK SHIT BURGERS TITS BALLS PUKE SHIT PISS MUFFINS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

🇻🇳 !free-palestine 🇵🇸 i heard there are videos of this. Post that resistance porn!

The maoist uprising against the landlords was the most complete land reform in history.

Also the US: "Wow it looks pretty reactionary out there huh? Looks like we're the best friend you're gonna get, you better stick with us."

I don't even agree with your shit how am I better at it than you. How are you gonna jerk off over the rules based societal order and then claim you can ignore whatever highest court you have because you personally disagree. mfer you just reinvented feudalism again

The New Yorker writer who did the interview...

> Several years ago, I interviewed Michael Oren, Netanyahu's former ambassador to the US. I thought his answers here were worth thinking about now, in terms of both Gaza and the West Bank. > > Nitter

Oren is fucking nuts. The writer's part of the dialog is in bold.

> archive.today • Michael Oren Cuts Short a Conversation About Israel | The New Yorker > > ...I think it is our incontrovertible right as Jews to live anywhere in our ancestral homeland. > > Really? > > No question. No question about it. Anywhere. And a member of the Sioux nation has a right to live on Sioux-nation territory. These are our tribal lands. The cradle of our civilization. > > Just to be clear: You were born in New York, correct? > > I was. > > So you think that you, as a Jewish person born in New York, have a right to be anywhere in Israel— > > Absolutely. > > Plus the West Bank, plus Gaza. > > Absolutely. Not Gaza. We can debate whether Gaza is part of the land of Israel. > > O.K., Israel plus the West Bank. > > Even if you wanted to include Gaza, I'd say absolutely, yeah. The question is what is smart. What's possible. > > Who gave you the right to live anywhere you want in the West Bank? That's what I am trying to understand. > > Absolutely. > > Where did you get that right? > > It's my heritage for three thousand years. It's the same exact right I have from where I am talking to you. I am talking to you from Jaffa. I live in Jaffa. The same right I have to live in Jaffa I have in [the settlement] Beit El or Efrat, or in Hebron. Exact same right. Take away one right, the other right makes no sense. By the way, P.S., most of the lands of pre-1967 Israel are not even in the Bible. Haifa is not in the Bible; Tel Aviv is not in the Bible.

Did he actually say "P.S."? Who says that?

thought I'd spotlight it for the hexbears

>“Cairns are a nuanced topic,” Death Valley spokesperson Abby Wines told SFGATE in a statement. > >While some of the cairns that mark hiking trails and routes are done by park rangers, most are created “by hikers trying to pay it forward to help other hikers,” Wines told SFGATE. “These cairns are useful and should be left where they are.” > >She also said that sometimes cairns are used to mark historic features. > >“Cairns were used to mark boundaries of mining claims and land survey points in this area in the late 1800s and early 1900s,” she said. “Now these are helpful for historical archaeologists and should be left in place, just like historic trash around old mining camps should be left in place.” > >Wines said that guests should never build cairns but also should avoid knocking them down.

I got nothing to add.

>After Gary Hobish collapsed while swing-dancing with friends in Golden Gate Park Sunday, a fellow dancer raced to the nearby de Young Museum in search of a defibrillator. Most people in the group knew Hobish, 70, had a heart condition. Seconds counted.

>Inside the museum, Tim O’Brien found himself pleading with a staff member to let him use the life-saving device, or to accompany him back to where Hobish, a legend of the Bay Area music scene, lay unconscious. O’Brien offered the museum staffer his wallet and his watch as collateral.

>The museum staffer checked with his boss, but the answer was firm: The de Young defibrillator could not leave the building.

>O’Brien sprinted empty handed back to the group, where a doctor who had luckily been on the scene was administering CPR. Paramedics arrived a few minutes later, but by then nearly 10 minutes had gone by, O’Brien said.

But I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody outside of a small circle of friends

No I'm not joking, they really do hiss when she says "ceasefire."

riddle me this, @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net

Oh.

And why did I hear all about the number of 9/11s on the MSM when it was Israelis but they’re not using that metric now with Palestinians?

This is a question that should be spammed to every liberal scumbag journalist.

!volcel-judge Which one of you wrote this?

Seriously hate this goblin.

>Attorney General Dana Nessel's office is ending its pursuit of criminal prosecutions over the Flint water crisis after seven years of no convictions, a decision that came Tuesday after the Michigan Supreme Court rejected an attempt to revive charges against Republican former Gov. Rick Snyder.

If Flint had been a village in China, the offending officials would have gotten the death sentence years ago.

In the much awaited follow-up to How to Blow Up a Pipeline, we learn that an excellent, if unexpected, reason to sabotage a pipeline is that you cannot use it to play funky saxophone jazz while it is operational.
