    A thread to soothe all those hurt feelings.........

    I have always thought it was weird when I read the statement "white collar crime is not victimless crime" ... because, isn't that obvious? Who's disputing that? Well I just learned real fast who thinks that way and makes excuses for it.

    House GOP fails to impeach Mayorkas over border handling

    You folks are overcomplicating it. We're already on the path to viable third parties, because of the ranked choice voting reforms that have been taking place. The rest of the country just needs to brave it up and follow through with Alaska and Maine's reforms — and some of that will (or won't)...

    Should the United States Southern Border be Closed?

    It's not dumb to call out our — individual, collective and governmental — role in contributing to the proliferation of narcos in Mexico. Those gangs are sustained by the illegality of drugs; the US' lax gun laws (and substantial manufacturing); and the US' impossible, inflexible immigration...

    can you think of a solution for Israel and Palestine?

    But, we are judged by our nut cases. You're well aware that the Freedom Caucus has shut down Congress by removing McCarthy. Just pretend we were in a war with Canada and were trying to come to a sensitive peace deal. Do you think the Canadians would trust us Americans to do the right thing when...

    can you think of a solution for Israel and Palestine?

    Yes, Arafat's mentality was completely spoiled by that point and Barak was politically weak. Arafat came to Camp David just to draw pain from the Israelis.

    can you think of a solution for Israel and Palestine?

    Yes, that is the problem. Israeli's political right in their anti-Arab and Jewish supremacist views drive the majority of the harassment of Palestinians. Much of the Palestinian leadership don't believe and do not trust the Israeli moderates and political left to control Israeli's nut cases...

    can you think of a solution for Israel and Palestine?

    No. The 2000 Camp David Summit talks had already failed with Israeli PM Rabin's assassination in 1995 by that Israeli far-right crazy. All of the fragile trust that had been built in between Israel's government and Arafat vaporized instantly. Because, you need to understand that Rabin as a...

    can you think of a solution for Israel and Palestine?

    I see you've not been introduced to Israel's far-right it seems. A not insignificant portion of Israel's current government (e.g. cabinet members Ben-Gvir, Smotrich) and of sitting members Knesset (ca. 10%) are proud Jewish supremacists, ultranationalists and horrid racists. Their political...

    Egypt says Israel seeks to empty Gaza, rejects corridors for civilians

    There is a lot of context to that, Mongidig and BirdinHand. A few groups like the Palestinian Authority and Mahmoud Abbas have sought to represent Palestinians over the years. The problem faced is that Israel namely Netanyahu has played a not insignificant role in influencing who represents the...

    HOUSE VOTE TO VACATE

    This is pretty entertaining. If we get too close to the 45 day shutdown, I don't doubt that the adults in the room (aka Democrats) will return to pull McCarthy out of the hole or help elect another moderate Republican. However for the interim all this Republican / conservative dysfunction and...

    Cracks in the wall for wind power!

    There's not much public awareness to this yet, but even if all R&D worldwide immediately halted today we've already solved decarbonization of grid-scale electric generation. New installations of solar and wind have achieved lower costs than every other generation source. And the combination of...

    Will this increase shoplifting .

    That bill is common sense. A business owner that asks their minimum wage service employees to confront suspected shoplifters is insane. That liquor store owner should have his head looked at. I fully support someone telling the owner to get a clue and hire people with loss prevention training or...
