Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.

Donald is absolutely a danger to others. There likely would be no gag order if it weren't the case. Specifically, a gag order against those who are not witnesses in the case.

Re: Hamas fires 7000 rockets at Israel, starting major war

Iran attacked US bases while Donald was in charge, any notion that they wouldn't have done what they did if he was president, is laughable.

Re: Hamas fires 7000 rockets at Israel, starting major war

Reports say that Iran has launched drones against Israel. It is also reported that they will take hours to get to Israel. This is according to the IDF. I've not seen any corroboration. Given my limited war knowledge, I'm not entirely sure how effective it will be, if your weapons take hours to reach...

Re: What’s going to happen to Trump Mon Mar 25 2024?

Art is subjective as is, often, it's value. Much of the time people will buy art based on the name, because that's more of a status thing. A painting by Adolf Hitler would fetch a higher price because of who painted it, not because of how good the painting is, which in his case would be "not go...

The AIDS funding didn't reach the 2 billion threshold until Reagan's final year.

Re: Hamas fires 7000 rockets at Israel, starting major war

Netanyahu doesn't want the hostages released. It's used as a reason for his continued actions in Palestine. So he can remove them from the land, and absorb Gaza into Israel. The war also keeps him in power. This is what happens when you have authoritarians in power, countless people suffer. The best...

The killing to the aid workers has lead to another aid group ceasing operations. Netanyahu seems determined that the Palestinians should suffer, that civilians should be collectively punished. Starvation is a horrible way to kill innocent people.

The killing of the WC workers was not an accident.
