  1. Iran, but it’s not a stretch to frame the political security of the Netanyahu regime and those to his right as secondary beneficiaries of the attack. And why not, after all, they seem to have promoted Hamas as a way to undermine the successes of the Palestine Authority and thus secure their own position.
  2. Even if they didn’t explicitly order it or approve it, they were aware of it before it happened, didn’t act to stop it, and subsequently ordered celebrations and banners hung on the streets. Which makes sense, because they were the primary beneficiary.
  3. Everything you just said is bullshit. We know what terrorist organizations are and what terrorism is. The difference between a terrorist organization and a nation-state is not merely semantic. The relationship between a pariah state and their terrorist proxies is not similar to the relationship between two state actors with democratically chosen governments. Israel is certainly the beneficiary of US support. But suggesting they are somehow our puppet or act on our behalf independent of their own interests or constituents is utter nonsense. I’m not defending the conduct of Israel, but Hamas has been acting as the proxy of Iran since the October 7th attack. Hamas has no independent or constituent interest. They have been worse than indifferent to the people of Palestine since they took power. They have used the it just violence and intimidation against Israeli civilians and other Jews in the region but also deliberately worsen the suffering and intimidation of Palestinians as a political weapon and deliberately put them in harm’s way to achieve Iran’s political objective. That’s a terrorist proxy, by definition. Come on man.
  4. Well sure: 1) The United States, the ethnically and culturally diverse two hundred year old secular republic that is the world’s economic and cultural center, for all of its flaws, has nothing in common the Islamic Republic of Iran, a 46 year old 3rd world pariah state. 2) Hezbollah and Hamas are terrorist organizations, Israel is a nation-state 3) Israel is not a proxy of The United States in Israel. Hamas and Hezbollah, with respect to October 7 and everything since are almost exclusively Iranian proxies. Literally the only similarity is the acceptance of financial and military aid. it’s just an absurd analogy
  5. The big one reminds me of Looch
  6. In a word no. Just three big category errors in the service of a really ridiculously false equivalence. I don’t even know where to begin.
  7. I don’t know if there’s a good comparison available. when I was at UT during the troubles the IRA/Sinn Fein sent this young lady to recruit Irish Americans and American leftists of all stripes and our money to the cause of a free and Independent Irish Republic. It made no difference that most of us were not Roman Catholic or even Irish. Ireland and the world beckoned us to join the struggle! Further, the solidarity of purpose between a free Ireland and a free Palestine (and, sotto voce, against the unholy alliance of great power imperialism and international Jewry) was repeatedly and strongly emphasized. Anyway she was a knockout. Thick auburn hair, freckles, green eyes, and built to be painted on a B-29. Sort of a mix between prime Lindsey Lohan and Michelle Monaghan. I didn’t volunteer to go fight and I didn’t have any money to give but I did shoot my shot and went down in flames. I feel that in my own way I did my part as a martyr for the cause.
  8. This is an Anastasis-level #bothsides take, wow. No, and I can’t believe I even have to type these words, the relationship between Iran and her two terrorist clients/proxies in the Levant is in no respect like the relationship between the United States and Israel. good grief.
  9. Dont blame ME, I voted for Kodos.
  10. Wordle 1,466 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  11. Less, probably
  12. Not prerolls or flower. Or possession. Interesting.
  13. Sex Trafficking, The Musical
  14. Bering Straights Native Corporation. In other words, a DEI hire. You can’t tell me these people don’t have a sense of humor.
  15. BTW- the text of his Statement seems like he’s saying the objectives were good but the bill would not survive a challenge, but the list of suggestions he makes for legislation coming out of a special reads more like a regulatory framework for recreational THC products. In other words:
  16. “A guy I know” just told me that the governor has realized that Dan Patrick and the Dunn faction is out of sync with the base on this. The data is telling his team that legal THC is broadly popular, and more importantly, has no political downside in the 2028 GOP primary field. He sees this as an opportunity to polish his resume and restore his brand without giving up any red meat conservative street cred. For this special session he is looking for a a signature win: a broad, bipartisan bill with both Democratic and Republican majorities if possible, and is open to literally anything short of full marijuana legalization provided that it advances his chances in a presidential campaign. Take it for what it’s worth, because I can’t verify any of that, but my guy knows the right people.
  17. The governor doesn’t care about Dan Patrick at all. He wants to be president. I would bet folding money that his polling of GOP primary voters in Iowa and New Hampshire shows that whereas SB3 could hurt his chances, legalized THC for adults + abortion ban + vouchers is a good combination. A losing fight for the 10 commandments is also a winner.
