    Israel

    Satchel replied to SmokeyBear1861's topic in Cloak Room

    Senator Van Hollen says the Biden administration could pressure Israel to let more aid through, and they could do it by invoking a law called the Humanitarian Aid Corridor… …This law is very straightforward. It says the United States shall not provide military assistance to any country if that country is prohibiting or otherwise restricting, directly or indirectly, the transport and delivery of U.S. assistance into an area. https://www.npr.org/2024/03/11/1237665822/maryland-sen-van-hollen-says-biden-could-pressure-israel-to-let-more-aid-through

    OU’s been getting a new arena since long before the earth’s crust cooled.

    In recent days, Trump has made a couple of significant policy position reversals that have gone largely unnoticed by most media. When the lobbyists for Bud Lite’s parent company announced the sponsorship of a 10k a plate Trump fundraiser, he publicly appealed to his followers to stop boycotting Bud Lite. More recently, he has sought and received the support of Jeff Yass who holds a 33 billion dollar share of TikTok. Guess what? After his years long crusade to de-platform TikTok in the US, he’s suddenly had a change of heart. Anybody else agree with Steve Bannon who has reluctantly come to the inescapable conclusion that Trump may have been bought? https://apnews.com/article/social-media-donald-trump-8e6e2f0a092135428c82c0cfa6598444

    That we’re actually considering codifying legislation that would help well off parents send their kid to Jesuit is mind boggling boggling.

    I remain convinced Hillary would have confirmed the majority of polls and won in 2016 had it not been for the last minute sabotage of James Comey. The country has changed a lot since 2016, but it’s hard to imagine that so many rejected Hillary over a last minute 30 minute investigation into emails, while an even larger number seem unconcerned about Trump 91 criminal charges. I don’t understand it.

    Friend recently told me about an experience he had while visiting his very successful immigrant neighbor. While helping himself to the buffet at poolside, noticed most of the immigrant Latinos rushing inside as the national anthem was playing in advance of the sporting event they had gathered to watch. With his plate, he followed them inside, only to find all of them standing, with hand over heart looking intently at the TV. He and several others looked on in amazement , wondering under their breaths what the hell was going on.

    The Biden White House has no doubt acknowledged this some time ago, but the hard cold truth is there is no longer a two party system or a loyal opposition. There is the Democratic Party dueling with a single individual - Donald Trump.

    I still dont get how a majority of Latinos can be so pro Catholic Church and alternately anti immigrant.

    When I watch MTG act a fool, I often think about her kids and how embarrassing it must be for them to have that ignorant hillbilly as their mom.

    Senator Lankford mouthed, “that’s true”. Awesome!

    She worked on the border bill, then voted against it when Trump vetoed it. Man, I wish Putin would give Trump permission to support the bill.

    The first you see on her X profile is how Christian she is.

    Biden shouldn’t: The sit-down is not legally required, but for the last 72 years, incumbent administrations have tapped the spy agencies to read in the candidates of both major political parties on some of the most pressing threats to the country. While often this is just one meeting, sometimes candidates receive several briefings. The briefings, which are managed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and approved by the White House, normally take place after the national conventions in late summer.

    And millions of stupid Texans with eat that crap with both hands.

    The biggest takeaway from this sordid mess has to do with Trump. Somebody should prepare him. He may have gotten by so far, but he won’t get away. Night’s coming.

    Still the most Atlanta shit ever.

    Is that the only you find odd about Fani’s flogging?
  22. Satchel
    Why wasn’t this handled like other similar situations?

    The corporate media are so lacking in self awareness as to be a pitiful shame. I can recall at this point in the run up to the general in 2016, , they were laser focused on Hillary’s emails and the threat they posed to our national security. Matt Lauer went ape shit on Hillary in an interview about them. Now, they work around Trump’s 91 charges without dilemma. We need to go back to the days when news organizations were cost centers.

    Wade was Fani’s third choice for the job she finally hired him for. Hers was not some long planned sinister plot to employ her boyfriend. Stop pretending not to know that. Still the most Atlanta shit ever.

    Until most Americans acknowledge that we’re living in unprecedented times, then the danger that portends our future as a Democracy cannot be overstated. What we witnessed last night was not normal. It was not normal for a presidential primary. That Trump is within 15 points of Biden in even the most flawed polls is scary. Bad info hygiene, years of disinformation, fear and ignorance infecting the electorate can destroy us. That said, Biden will win and it won’t be all that close. We must remain vigilant.
