Small claims court? Get a refund for all money spent since they took your stuff and ran?

This shit is the 21st century witch hunt. Covid cripples the economy from all the governments basically telling you to stay inside and businesses shuttering all over followed by ballooning the national debt by giving out tons of handouts for this. Then once they say "ok it's been enough time, go out there and get back to work" suddenly all that covid money given to people is being spent, driving up the cost of everything.

Now just a couple years later, everyone is looking for someone to blame for why costs are so high. "They gave us money to survive before... now it costs so much to do everything! It must be the BROWN people's fault!" simply because they are the newest wave of immigrants in a country built by immigrants for centuries.

Surely it can't be due to poor zoning laws, bad economic policies by the last administration (which set us up to fail with massive multi-trillion dollar debt thanks to all those big business tax cuts) and a news media gone wild, controlled by a handful of oligarchs who have more money and power than ever before after profiting from it all.

As always, a masterful performance by the rich and powerful. Let's make america get fucked again! #Recession2029

Really? a 66k maple syrup dollar pension is somehow outrageous? is this a joke?

Okay, so then i'll focus on the specific claim of right during/before the early 1900s everyone was peacefully coexisting.

Sure, near the end of the ottoman empire there was a very brief period where there was some coexistence. Very brief.

The area was effectively a bloodbath until the twilight years of the ottoman empire for a very brief period.

From the muslim conquest of the levant in the 7th century, to the christian crusades across several centuries... there has been seemingly countless wars in the name of religion in the region. The conflict goes back much, much longer than 124 years.

Anyway, you talk about this being a question of something. I see no questions whatsoever. I just see hate after hate, bloodshed after bloodshed. It won't end until humans bring themselves to extinction or one side wipes out the other because we're incapable as a species of anything else.

I'm glad that the UN is pushing to get Israel out of the Gaza Strip at the least, but the damage is already done. The cycle will just continue because the hate will never end.

Make sure the 17 year olds in the military get the good stuff though.

The lack of ethics in judiciary nowadays is astounding.

The one branch of government that would be truly terrifying if it was no longer impartial is no longer impartial. Welcome to the 21st century!

Yeah, and then you get all the people who go into the comment thread and start talking about all this shit which they ascertained by a headline.

Nobody has the patience to figure out the details anymore. By the time you figure it out and try to talk about it nobody cares anymore, the next headline dropped.

Yay the internet. I miss a lot of the pre-internet things.

14% of Republicans compared to 11% of Democrats said they would "take action."

The headline is clickbait and does not accurately describe the content of the article.

I think we all expect another jan 6th insurrection but the percentages are way to close to show anything, it's probably within the margin of error.

Oh sorry, you can't choose a prosecutor. You need to select from one of these shills that the defendant/offender put in place, as is tradition according to the constitution.

Right?

Hey, we have to draw the line somewhere. Let's stop at a gigaton.

I think if people had even more guns this could have been avoided. What if there was a six year old with a 22 there to respond to the gunshots with some of his own? maybe less people would be dead.

Guns make everyone way safer. We need to start providing them in utero.
