Once upon a time, search. Those days are long past.

Of course they will go right on supporting them too.

The fact that someone's gender makes a difference is part of that "social wound" they mentioned.

That's what I meant. For it to take effect he would have to sign it into law. There is no reason for him to do that.

Where did I say it was beyond anyone's feeble comprehension? I'm just pointing out that it is complex and people are treating it like it isn't. "Peace in the Middle East is a difficult and complex topic." shouldn't be a controversial statement.

Flour massacre is fair. I'm not exactly stumping for Israel when I say that they would love to use another incident involving US troops as propaganda. Ultimately, Israel is at fault for their deaths no matter how it occurred.

Again, this was just the first drop, so the number of people needing food immediately is what's relevant. Air drops are a terribly inefficient way to do this, but they are also the safest for everyone. The air drops are expected to accelerate, and other methods of delivery are being negotiated. The appropriate response is "great, but we need more, and we need to make them unnecessary." Calling them "a fucking joke" is as likely to contribute to ending deliveries as it is to encourage accelerated deliveries.

I tend to agree that a nuclear exchange is unlikely but, the consequences of being wrong are pretty severe.

I'm pretty sure that it's been a recurring theme for anyone with power or prestige since forever.

You are literally right, but politically wrong. How shit like that plays can be very different from the carefully parsed out phrasing. This is one of the reasons that Republicans consistently kick the shit out of Democrats on messaging.

Democratic politicians love getting high on their own farts with clever language and nuanced takes. They do this shit all the time because they are so deeply out of touch.

And not many examples of mentality stable Republicans.

I can see what your saying just fine. I'm not the one who's unhinged here.
