It doesn’t matter who they have dinner with when they answer to their handlers at AIPAC. Israel wants this war so they will make a few noises to pretend to be opposition but do everything tangible to support it.

They will enforce it selectively to avoid that outcome. Even now their tourism industry has taken a hit but many tourists still go without incident.

While you do that AIPAC is ensuring that your 2028 option will be Newsom and Rahm Emanuel or someone else they hand pick. That way they win no matter what happens and Americans remain pay pigs for genocide.

The fact that this clown is a “Top US Health Official” is a great indication of an empire in decline.

Shit like that gets you labeled a Communist in today’s GOP.

It’s an interesting dynamic. AIPAC provides a clear path for politicians willing to toe the line of absolute, unthinking support of Israel in all things. But AIPAC only works towards Israel’s strategic depth if that support is truly absolute. They still have so much strategic depth that AIPAC occupies itself by denying even the conversation about how much support Israel should get through actions this one - there is no conversation, they must get whatever they ask for and anyone who disagrees is an anti Semite.

The problem with this all-or-nothing approach is that it lets them get completely out flanked - they can’t control someone who never wanted AIPAC support in the first place.

There’s like a 50 percent chance he’ll be dead by the time it really starts.

Do you know the identity of the shooter? Cause they’re not just going to tell you.

They just have to give Kid Rock and Ted Nugent tenure .

He made this deal with the NATO secretary general Mark Rutte, who has literally no authority to give anything away on behalf of Denmark or Greenland.

Miller is a vicious little shit who has what fantasy authors would call “low cunning”. He knows very well that he will never be as influential as he is right now, and that his influence will likely die with Trump. So he’s speed running all his stuff.

This type of shit is why I really do not understand why people want Gavin Newsom as the next presidential candidate.

It’s just pragmatism. He’s the type of non-MAGA candidate that the US could actually elect, should a fair election occur again .

I can’t wait for the ADL’s statement explaining how this is fine and not real antisemitism.

He’s acting exactly like a current established Democrat leader. He is proudly saying he doesn’t take money from PACs, except AIPAC is the exception and if you ask why you’re antisemitic. He cares about keeping the democratic unconditionally and uncritically 100 perfect behind Israel as his main policy goal, far more than any domestic concern. In that he has tons of company and is doing his job just fine.

Have ATC employees actually decided to stop showing up this week?

Usually quantum physics serves as a crank magnet for all kinds of generally leftist kookery, but Jan seems to want to reject it outright for similar reasons that you talk about above with irrational numbers.

I know this isn’t your point, but the non-political way to express a similar rejection of quantum theory was literally just Einstein saying “god does not play dice”, which he famously retracted.

Years ago I saw a page on that site about irrational numbers that was pure comedy. Basically they begrudgingly admit that irrational numbers might actually exist (whatever that means for numbers), but heavily implied that it’s a liberal plot of some kind stemming from moral relativism or whatever. Just insane ramblings.

They’ll start with MSNBC. People will complain but if they stay the course it will become the new normal. Other news networks will adjust their programming to avoid the same fate. Part of why the Kimmel thing failed was because it was indirect action - the threat was to not grant approval for the Nexstar merger, but the media and publishing backlash made them reinstate Kimmel.

If they start directly revoking licenses then the “kill chain” is basically 1 or 2 links long and the order coming right from Trump’s office.

Personally I think he could get away with it. Americans are still mostly too comfortable for the kind of action it would take to actually stop him.

Don’t worry, Chuck Schumer will make a deal to prevent this while getting nothing in return.

Yes thank your for illustrating the logic that enlightened centrist have used to justify voting for a known rapist twice. Literally just stoner logic.
