  • That’s what the quoted words mean…

    I always understood dark money as donations made in a way that obfuscated who was actually donating so I was wondering if direct “contributions” from AIPAC were still considered ok since it’s just a “regular” donation.

    You really didn’t see any of this on your own?

    Not really to be honest. I’ve always seen the media as attacking Democrats when it’s economic policy that helps people and attacking Republicans when it’s culture war stuff. I didn’t notice a shift when the new chair took over, not to say you’re wrong and it didn’t happen.










  • if he carries out war crimes with impunity, the West will have lost whatever moral authority remains in its grasp. The Geneva Conventions, the laws of armed conflict, and the architecture of rules designed to spare civilians from the worst of war are symbolic of all that we stand for in the West — of how democracy restrains our inner demons. But those principles are not self-enforcing. They’ve endured because Western nations, led by the United States, treated them as binding on themselves first. The moment America becomes the country that bombs desalination plants and calls it diplomacy, we have not merely broken a rule. We have announced the rules are dead. Every authoritarian watching in Moscow, Beijing, and Pyongyang will take notice.

    Looks like we announced the rules are dead then. Israel and the US killed them. :/



  • It won’t be a draft. It will be:

    “Due to My Excellent Leadership™©® we have Successfully Won the War (not war, because I’m not supposed to admit I circumvented Congress) We will be leaving in 2 weeks. Your gas prices aren’t high, and if they are it’s Bidens fault. Thank me now. I have directed Congress to build 38 gold statues of me in my honor and will be receiving the new Trump Trophy of Peace that is way better than some stupid Nobel that no one cares about.”
