America has always had racism, but America has never been a racist country

I'm really quite stunned by this claim. She seems to be parsing words to dodge reality. The US wrote slavery into its Constitution, engaged in a series of racist genocides of the indigenous people, and excluded immigrants of various ethnicities throughout its history. We've certainly improved, but to say we've never been governed by racism is either ignorant, revisionist, or pandering to some of the worst people.

To paraphrase someone else, it has enough should clauses to drive several favorable RV loans through.

Good for the community, too. It takes a village to get rid of that astroturf group.

One issue the IDF has been working with for a while is the sheer amount of tunneling by Hamas. There is dense housing right on top of the tunnels. Destroying the tunnels can lead to the above buildings collapsing, as well as the damage caused by any explosives.

Will they annex and depopulate Gaza? I hope not. That's just going to create another generation of fighters itching for revenge. Grievances outlast Hamas, and they will likely find a form. That said, maybe a single state solution will be the best form of government, as long as Palestinians, Jewish Israelis, and other groups are guaranteed equal rights. The half-ass "two state" attempt right now isn't working.

Regardless, I'm glad they are being open about this. I use 1password, so I want to know absolutely anything that could be a threat, especially after the debacle with LastPass.

Seems like moderate Republicans weren't objecting to an extremist (ala Jim Jordan). They were objecting to an extremist who had too much of a public profile. They just needed someone obscure enough that they wouldn't catch too much flak for choosing them.

Philip Wallach of the American Enterprise Institute called the visioning effort an “authoritarian fantasy.”

When the center-right is like "slow down, too far crazy right", you know it's bad.

"Taking this vaccine offends my conscience. I ought to have the choice about what goes into my body, and a lifesaving treatment cannot be denied to me because I chose not to take an experimental treatment for a condition"

Hun, you're not the only person who is looking for a transplant. If you're not going to protect yourself from COVID-19, you don't get the organ. Plain and simple.

Reminder that Roger Stone coordinated timing with WikiLeaks to drop the emails that Russia had hacked and passed off to WikiLeaks. The low point of Trump's campaign - the release of the Access Hollywood tape - had WikiLeaks dripping emails within hours. Julian Assange's outfit had fallen from a champion of press freedom to a facilitator of the Russian dictatorship interfering in elections.

We all know what "Make America Great Again" means.

WASP = White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. It's a reach, but it's funny so I'll give it to them.

Quite literally. It's a shared project between Belgium and France.
