Not American, just a rabid follower of US Politics.

I think Dems are at a tactical disadvantage having had no one primary Biden. If god forbid anything happens between now and election day they have no one that the public knows well as backup. I watched Kamala Harris speak at Selma on the weekend; I support her as the first woman in her role but I am incredibly skeptical of her ability in any way shape or form to carry a general election.

Now Republicans have solved that problem by having a clear backup: Nikki Haley. I see there are reports right now that she is dropping out. She is, however, a viable and well-known backup due to her tenacity in staying in the race. If the GOP needed to rally behind a new candidate the cutover to her would be smoother because she has stayed in the spotlight.

Here’s the thing too - there was an interview on the news in my country with an Israeli legal expert on sexual assault. She was pleased with the UN report investigating Hamas’ sexual assaults.

When asked if there would be a similar UN investigation for Palestinians, she said she didn’t see why the UN needed to because Palestine has its own agencies on the ground who can investigate.

Except the media also tells us not to believe anything UNWRA says because of Hamas involvement with UNWRA.

How is that fair? The Palestinian civilians are caught in an impossible trap.

You will never find “the answer” resonates with me.

Yeah because the US is the ally of my country. Geopolitically if you’re from a BRICS nation it’s not a concern. NATO and 5 eyes nations aren’t supportive of an ambitious China expanding influence and territory.

It is just common sense. Nations never do things for just one reason. Possession is 9/10ths of the law - if they fill Antarctica with their facilities they can later claim they have so many facilities they should just govern Antarctica. Not a bad strategic move in times of global warming.

How boring.

IKEA’s too complex. Need crayons.

And also if it’s sentient and gets the power to destroy us there would be zero hesitation if it was treated this way

I LOVE this.

$30k over 5 years isn’t a lot of money. So like what $6k / y taxed through the nose to work in a horrendously toxic environment? This is pizza party boomer logic.

4 more years - seems like the start of the Trump forever dynasty if you let him back in.

Vyvanse is permitted. You need to apply for pre-authorization to bring it.

Vyvanse allowed Adderall not allowed.

Let me look into this.

Yes I ended up emailing the seller for the original driver - it’s 54.1mb so they had to send via WeTransfer. Google Drive wouldn’t accept the file.

Agree with you - I even tried to go see him do standup live after I was gifted tickets. The guy is not funny.

It doesn’t need to be permanent.

I’d almost argue that the Colbert Report is more relevant now because it was a satire of Fox News and right wing news has gotten even more crazy than it was 10+ years ago.

Jon Stewart is such a pro. He’s at the top of his game, even still. He’s just so far above other political commentators it’s beautiful to watch.

And if Colbert makes an appearance this season I will scream like Flanders at those purple drapes.
