We’ve known about this disgusting policy for years. It’s a war crime. Anyone who complains about hostages has to condemn this in order to be taken seriously or should shut up forever.

This is pathetic. Any respect I had for this group has evaporated.

While I don’t trust him, I don’t see the resignation as a good thing. I suspect he was holding back an attempt to privatize and sell off the postal service.

Imagine a country where the KKK took over the government.

It’s even worse considering the ADL was sued by Musk, after Musk said Jews hated white people and blamed the ADL for the drop in advertiser revenue on X. (Edit: Musk tweeted he was suing the ADL and did blame them but I don’t know if he actually took them to court or not)

The ADL tried to back him anyway because they decided political support for Israeli government meant they would try to overlook his statements. Then he started making Nazi jokes the next day and they had to condemn him.

during the days of Stalin in communist Russia, one of the most popular proverbs was “Comrade Stalin, there has been a terrible mistake!”

It’s a mock quote by people being rounded off to the gulag (the Russian concentration camps) who considered themselves patriots, true worshippers of Dear Leader, who engaged in snitching against their neighbors, personal rivals and even family members to see them taken away to concentration camps, while being certain that this behavior will earn them the state’s loyalty and safeguard them against repressions. When the Black Mariahs came for them (called Black Crows in Russia), they would often be heard crying out “Dear comrade Stalin, there has been a terrible mistake!”

I thought this was obvious to everyone. Heck, Futurama had this as a joke 20 years ago when Zapp Brannigan stuffed his crew with nothing but loyalists who fall apart immediately.

There’s been reporting that they’ll move them into Gaza even if they weren’t from there before.

So happy I cancelled my subscription last year. The once venerable paper we loved is gone.

I was told there would be no fact checking.

Obama risked his re-election chances to give healthcare to tens of millions of Americans. Biden threw away the presidential election just because he was that stubbornly committed to protecting Israel from any consequences for their aggression. Even his ambassador to Israel conceded that this sunk the campaign. He is so out of touch.

With a Republican Congress.

It’s unreal. Why do we even bother with laws or courts or treaties if we can ignore them for certain people?

It’s not like he wanted his fan base to ever be let into his country clubs.

He’s a lifelong real estate developer. The man is stupid enough to look at a Mercator projection map and say look at this massive island that’s undeveloped!

It’s reported he offered to trade Puerto Rico for it.

Democrats are willing to go into a government shutdown rather than cave. Biden should have fought harder.

If this was the first and only time it happened I’d agree with you. But it isn’t.

If you’ve got no idea then why argue?

There isn’t a competition in the market between Malaysian washing machines vs Chinese washing machines, in reality the tariffs will affect Chinese goods mainly, and any industry will raise prices to pocket the difference as we saw in the above example. It was more than just a single appliance that raised the prices.

We tried this in 2017. Trump put tariffs on dishwashers, and American companies just raised their prices to match, pocketing the difference.

This was tried under Trump the first time and it was an abject failure.

Trump’s tariffs raised the price of foreign made dishwashers by 20%. American manufacturers also jacked up the cost of their appliances, in order to match that price that customers were paying. As a result there was no incentive to change consumer behavior and there was no boost in “buying American.”
