Protests at Universities across the fruited plain

I liked what a student interviewed at a protest said the other day: I AM: pro-Palestine pro-Israel anti-Hamas anti-Netanyahu That about sums it up. :clap: My impression is that this is essentially what all the on campus protesters basically have to say as well. As far as I can tell, the antisemitic...

The Media are the Goddam Problem

So last night I saw where CNN is reporting that the majority of Americans believe that even if Trump is convicted in his criminal cases he is still fit for office. This is what happens when the media puts microphones in front of him to spew his nonsense before court, during breaks, and after court e...

SCOTUS

Why do the justices spend so much time asking about hypothetical future cases and how the law applies to them instead of focusing on the specific case before them? They usually don't. I didn't listen to every single word, but I heard probably 80% or more. My immediate reaction is they are looking f...

Protests at Universities across the fruited plain

I've been really confused by all of this. I admit I have never followed the Middle East political world because it's just so complicated. But my view is that these students are overwhelmingly non-violent and are asking their schools to divest from investments in companies arming/helping Israel beca...

Jackson doggedly brought it up each time she spoke. Yes, I should have also mentioned that pretty much my comments are referring to the conservative majority. And let's face it, they are they only ones that matter when it comes to how the Supreme Court is going to opine on any issue. Their super ma...

trump (the former guy, defamer, insurrectionist, and rapist - $83M)

As I saw Joyce Vance argue, the justices need to be presented with a hypothetical where a president decides he doesn't like the decision of certain Supreme Court Justices and orders them to be arrested - or even assassinated because they are "enemies of America." Bring it home for them. I...

She was a prostitute. I remember Trump's original story of where he met her. I think they have changed the entire first meet story, including the location. Originally, he said he met her on a yacht. He didn't embellish much beyond that except to mention all the other gorgeous models that were also ...

Bragg Manhattan DA charges tfg? Hush money. tfg “INDICATED!”

One of the talking heads on CNN has said that New York law does not allow Merchan to put Trump in jail for any length of time unless he actually does something inside the courtroom in front of the judge. So, this is just another waste of time where Trump will go right outside the courtroom today and...

Because pro-Palestinian automatically means anti-Semitic. Just like Black Lives Matter means white lives don't matter.
