House Resolution 8445, tabled by Republican Congressmen Guy Reschenthaler of Pennsylvania and Max Miller of Ohio, would amend Title 38 of the US Code so that Americans who fight for Israel are treated “in the same manner as service in the uniformed services” of the US. Over 20,000 American citizens serving in the Israeli military are expected to benefit if the changes come into effect.

It’s a house bill put in by one whackjob looking to grab headlines…

On average, 44% of students reported feeling more bored during breaks and recess, and 49% of teachers observed increased anxiety among students without access to phones.

I mean, good…

People need to get used to being bored. Otherwise they’re gonna be constant dopamine addicts.

And CBT is just being exposed to some you don’t like and realizing nothing bad actually happened.

Obviously they’ll be anxious at first. Eventually they’ll be the ones who don’t freak out when their cellphone dies. They’re able to handle it without, and won’t freak out

Why do you keep making posts asking extremely easily googable questions vaguely related to counter fitting and which bills are most widely accepted in different countries?

Like…

You’ve been doing these posts for a while, and they could have all been answered in 15 minutes if research

It’s just the timeline that pisses me off, people have fought for 30 years to get a DNC chair like Martin…

It finally happens, literally right after it came out that all the media was covering for Biden’s mental ability…

And the same people who claim they never trusted billionaire owned media, thinks that despite them constantly moving to the right for decades, they suddenly are legitimately progressive and want the DNC to turn away from billionaires and Israel.

People just honestly can’t pick out propaganda when it agrees with their opinions. Even tho if you stop for just a split second and think about it, obviously the same right wing billionaires who covered from Biden are the same ones now claiming the DNC is hopeless.

I feel like I’m Cassandra way too much this last decade

This keeps getting repeated by billionaire owned media corporations…

Because billionaire owned media corporations want to divide support for the Dem party since they no longer control it.

The Current chair said almost immediately after Mamdani won his primary, that he is the type of candidate we need on a national stage both in policy and charisma.

He’s also spoken at length over and over again about how the problem is “not trump” doesn’t work and we need to give voters something to vote for

The billionaires are claiming not releasing a private report that is never released is suddenly a big deal.

And if the DNC did release it, the billionaires would stop talking about it, and hand out new talking points.

The goal is to cause the division and stop the DNC from doing its job.

And the closer we get to midterms, the more mostly empty accounts we’ll see everywhere that only shit talk Dems and offer zero alternatives for what will work.

People who only make occasional post/comments with false equivalence trying to make everyone think the Dems are as bad as trump before a primary even starts

you’d have encountered people who don’t use the cable news definition.

What in the actual fuck are you talking about?

“Cable news definition”?

We’re talking about using the “definition” from after the invention of modern democracy centuries ago

I don’t know if you’re fucking with me or legitimately this confident yet consistently wrong

At this point it doesn’t fucking matter tho.

I’m going off what liberalism has meant for centuries and what it means if you read any serious political work.

Then there’s zero logical reason to use those labels when discussing American politics unless:

1. You have no idea what you’re talking about and want to be smart

2. You’re trying to confuse people by muddling the waters

3. ?

I got a guess, but out of courtesy, is there any other reason to use centuries outdated terms whose meaning changed before this country was formed or modern democracies even existed?

Because man…

I’m coming up blank for any feasible #3, but I underestimate people, and genuinely want to understand how you got to that opinion you have.

Going off the time actually, are you even American or aware this discussion is about American politics?

Edit:

To be clear, you still don’t understand that definition of liberalism either, just trying to steer you back to the topic. And admittedly about to give up

https://www.britannica.com/topic/liberalism

You should read that, and after you understand that you’re wrong:

https://www.britannica.com/money/neoliberalism

That might get you angry at the right people.

Those are neoliberals…

They keep changing the name they call themselves to make it look like it’s not the same group of fucks and their proteges…

They’ll release a name quickly, find out it’s another ex-maga again, and never mention it again…

But they’ll likely use this as an excuse to keep him out of public eyesight. The timing right after he fell asleep on camera would make that even more suspect too if they start hiding him.

He might not even make live appearances in the oval if he gets bad enough.

what social media

The place full of boys, paid shills, and bad faith “as a liberal” accounts?

Why would anyone care what they say?

Or divide the democratic party by calling them “liberals”?

Like, at best even if they’re authentic, they’re lying…

Don’t let them call themselves that if they’re not

Quick edit:

Hell, for the ones on TV and in office, we can keep calling them neoliberals even if they don’t like it anymore

Get ready for a week of all the most insufferable liberals you know wringing their hands about how it’s SO UNCOUTH to be disappointed he didn’t bite it

Where do you see that?

CNN maybe, but they’re owned by a far right oligarch, just like every other media corporation.

ignores the possibility of the existence of acts which may never be ethical under any circumstance.

Name 1, and I bet I can justify it ethically.

Like, “if you don’t do ____, then superman blows up the sun” is the obvious one, but depending on what you say, I can dial back some.

A prisoner is suffering and wants to die, their life is a constant pain and keeping them in prison until they die would be torture…

Youd make them suffer for years to only die in prison later?

I guess everyone has different ethical lines…

…

Yes…

Any discussion on an ethical way to do something, is first predicted on the thing happening.

There’s an ethical way to cut aomeone’s leg off, that doesn’t mean we should cut Bob’s leg off, it doesn’t even mean we should cut anyone’s leg off under any circumstances.

Just that if we were going to do something, there are ways to do that ethically.

People really don’t learn this shit anymore?

I’m reviewing the US’s claim to Hawaii

Man, in a long history of fucked up shit…

Hawaii is pretty high up on the list.

I mean…

There’s completely painless ways to die.

That’s what the whole assisted suicide thing is in civilized countries.

The “problem” is, that’s completely painless, you just go to sleep. And the people who want this, want it to be a painful gruesome death.

It’s not justice or even removing an uncontrollable element, it’s vengeance. And vengeance has to be painful.

There’s nothing stopping an ethical death penalty except the ethics of the people implementing

Adult bulls with large tusks are the target…

So between five adult females, yeah…

At least one has seen an elephant shot by a hunter.

Pressure like this also erodes sexual dimorphism, tusk size shrinks and may eventually disappear.

I know in stuff like white tail deer in America, there’s been a drastic reduction in antler “points” because the genetics for large racks are being removed from the gene pool.

Rare exceptions are large private areas where the owner set a “max” limit so the biggest go on to reproduce. When they get visibly elderly, the landowner harvest them hismelf or his kids.

They pull in massive antlers that just don’t exist outside of their land.

For future instances where that’s gonna be your plan…

It works better if you type “cancel” instead of “reply”, or even just not typing it in the first place

From March 15 to April 14, it exported 55.22 million barrels of oil. The price per barrel of Iranian oil – across its three major variants, known as Iranian light, Iranian heavy and Forozan blend – has not fallen below $90 per barrel over the past month. On many days, the price has surpassed $100 a barrel.

Even at the conservative estimate of $90 a barrel, Iran has earned at least $4.97bn over the past month from its ongoing oil exports.

By contrast, in early February before the war started, Iran was earning about $115m a day from its crude oil exports, or $3.45bn in a month.

Simply put, Iran has earned 40 percent more from oil exports in the past month than it did before the war.

They using that range of dates, because that’s the information we have…

But the US has only been actually stopping ships there since earlier this week.

trump is saber rattling, but are you aware of how many ships he’s “stopped” and how many just sail past?

The problem is you’re taking his words at face value and believing him…

I don’t know why anyone would be doing that still
