“He’s not hurting the people he’s supposed to” Part II, convicted felon screws you.

Oh well, I guess we’re doing this again.

There’s no polling data showing that Gaza was even a top 3 issue among voters

I didn’t say it was. As you may note from my comment.

So it speaks more to apathy than genocide

is a moot point since Biden will have killed everyone there months beforehand

One, neither Biden nor Trump are killing anyone. It’s the permissive nature of the United States and their supplies.

Two, Israel isn’t in a position to carry out the operation that you are indicating. They’re still far short supplied on that front. Over the weekend ahead of the election, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin indicated that the negotiated terms for aid had failed, which clears the path for the US to end weapons delivery to the country under a Leahy determination. Now of course Trump will resume those shipments, but critical missile deployments are likely to end for the time being, especially seeing how it doesn’t matter if Biden or Harris secure shit in votes.

Three, the UN World Food Programme has indicated about 10% of their target supply mission for aid is getting through. So there is indeed food, just not enough to feed everyone.

The thing is, the suffering will likely continue long into 2026 because Israel has every intention of sending a very clear message for future Hamas recruits. And you have a hard time sending a clear message with just dead people. The suffering and the pain is the point of what Israel is doing. The land is a nice bonus, but just killing everyone outright doesn’t show the level of suffering that Israel can actually implement. It’s that being able to drag one’s pain and misery out for years on end that Israel is after.

If Israel wanted to carpet bomb the place, they would have asked for that at the start before the relationship soured.

Blame progressives and people that wanted good things

Was genocide a matter in 2012 or 2016? 2020? If 2012, 2016 and 2024 are same numbers, I’d think it’s safe to point to similar conditions in mindset.

I don’t blame the sky for being blue, it just is.

rather than demand Democrats change anything

This part doesn’t make any sense. You can’t solve a problem without first identifying the problem. You can’t change anything if you deny the thing that needs to change. Am I missing some core argument of yours?

Is your new plan in 2028 to just attack everyone who isn’t blindly loyal?

I’m not attacking them. Apathy is a thing. Happens. If some coach comes out and doesn’t motivate their team, are we blaming the players for not getting excited enough? Like I don’t understand your perspective here. Do you want Democrats to change or not? Because if sounds like whenever someone addresses the issue you knee-jerk into “I’m BeInG aTtAcKeD!!!”

It needs to be said. That’s all there is to it.

state proceedings will be paused until after his term

Yes, I full expect the 34 counts sentencing by Merchan to be placed on hold until Jan. 21st, 2029. I’m surprised anyone is confused on this.

Trump won, he gets to get off scot-free from all the charges and investigation. That was literally the reason Trump ran.

Civil lawsuits

Well maybe. Depends with the new SCOTUS presumed immunity. Official acts wasn’t well defined and while no one is thinking rape is an official act, the manner by which the evidence was collected can be questioned.

At this rate, the civil stuff might continue, but there’s going to be so much resistance to the proceedings that they will effectively look as not even happening. The President can delay court motions because “I’m doing President stuff rn” and the Court has to presume that’s true. Rise and repeat until his second term is over.

Yeah, both parties went down from 2020 counts. We literally had something like 18m or 20m who didn’t show up combined.

Wild stuff. Oh well, we rode this roller-coaster once, we ride it again. Maybe this round we don’t lose 2% of our population?

2012, 2016, and 2024 all have pretty equal share Dem votes, 2020 is the spike in Dem. So it speaks more to apathy than genocide.

Also, with Trump, Gaza is glass. They are so fucked now that the Biden stuff is going to look like a US school shooting where no one cares. I guess the upshot is that we won’t have to worry about Gaza much longer since all the Palestinians will be turned into dust soon.

But everyone knew that. Staying home just meant you wanted the Palestinians dead at a faster rate without tangential guilt. Easy for one to excuse Trump giving the nod for bibi to end everyone if you can say “well I didn’t vote for him.”

Also…. No one is going to try and burn down the Capitol this time. So we’ve got that.

Literally there is no case. The filing fails to name single real person of harm and fails to establish any real material harm.

Additionally it is using a consumer protection law and citing an FCC ruling, of all things, to establish cause, which is insane.

This entire filing is like what law student would write as a joke. I mean they could have save some pages by just writing, “CBS is a big meanie and I don’t know who, but I’m pretty sure someone lost $5 for some reason because of them being so mean! I am asking for $30 decillion in judgement.”

Don Jr appears in there several times and there are rumors JD Vance might show up in the next ad. Those are both deaths that poll extremely well across party lines.

I would be laughing at how ridiculous that is, but I’m mostly just laughing to assuage my low level concern that keeps trying to take control of the wheel that is my mind.

In all fairness paranoia is important in things like finding someone trying to slip a backdoor into xz. Going by the most recent Windows 11 update, Microsoft seems to be “we’ll fix it in production”.

Oh man, I so want him to fight this. This would be a money pit like hell. I would love to see Musk watch hundreds of millions of his own money burn in litigation. We should seriously put his ego on the line with this trail. I feel like posting on Twitter:

Don’t let that production studio treat you like a bitch, fight these fuckers!!

Tying up his ego into this legal fight would be amazing because that fucker has zero idea about sunk costs.

For the folks wanting to try something along the lines of “how is it illegal?!”

It’s not the signing a document that supports 1A and 2A. That’s not the illegal part. It’s the requiring being a registered voter and having a lotto with cash money attached to it. Musk is perfectly fine to have a lotto for people who support 1A and 2A and want to sign a document saying so. He just can’t attach “you must be a registered voter” to those terms and conditions, that’s the part that makes it illegal.

All the other parts, if that’s how he wants to blow his money. That’s his money. But he just can’t attach that one term to that process. Likely is that someone will ask him to drop the term and leave it at that. But if Musk starts being a penis about well then yeah, it’s a Federal law and can be made messy if folks don’t want to comply. It’s likely why he’s pulling this, this close to election day, figures that no AG would get it in front of a Judge fast enough. But I mean, get an AG angry enough, they can start making things happen on a faster time scale.

But yeah, there’s not really a question about what Musk is doing if it’s illegal or not. It’s very much not legal. But the ramifications are likely for the State AG to ask Musk to drop that condition or get yanked in front of a Judge.

But we’ve invested too much in <<shiny new thing>> that we can’t update <<old reliable thing>> otherwise all that investment in <<shiny new thing>> will be for naught.

— Tale as old as time.

It’s double points if shiny new thing is an attempt to push old reliable thing out of the market. Because consumers love it when you do that.

Some unsolicited comments on this:

• I would absolutely trade Dr. Bunsen Honeydew with Dr. Mario.
• The Dr. Pepper position is just pure slander.
• Dr. Horrible and Doogie Howser, MD is the true duality of humanity.
• Zoidberg is suspiciously much higher along the Y-axis than I would personally prefer.
• Dr. Dre, like I would forget, is absolutely a quadrant II candidate. There’s just no way I’d put Spin Doctors high along the Y-axis than Dre.

do as I say not as I do

Nintendo: Money! Fuck everything else.

All other attributes derive from that.

You have to understand how Vance views the issue. For him abortion isn’t a meet in the middle stance. Abortion to him and folks similar see the matter as only having one possibly correct solution.

Thus for him, “Americans instinctively mistrust us” doesn’t mean that his position would evolve, it’s that “to him”, he’s done a “bad job” making your stance evolve.

The hard line Republicans aren’t interested in finding common ground, they’re more interested in what you will change your opinion to or at the very least what unacceptable positions you’ll tolerate. There is never going to be an evolution or common ground to be found with these folks because that’s distinctly not the position that they are looking for.

That’s vague, but I’ll assume you mean funding directly for combat operations excluding VA hospital, vet benefits, DHS appropriations, etc. So that would come to $19.903T over that same period.

But the thing is that also excludes maritime trade protection and I don’t believe brown kids sail boats towards shipping channels, but there could be possibilities where that is the case. Also that dollar figure doesn’t have anything to do with the event being depicted in the picture. That’s Israel’s Iron Dome system and costs associated with that would not be reflected in the US military budget. That is funded by general transfer of funds. Good example of such is public law 117-103. Under Division C, Title VIII, Sec. 8142 which is page 209 of that PDF linked there.

So that number doesn’t include that and it’d be a lot harder to get that number as the Government doesn’t put out a spreadsheet for general transfer of funds. Though they ought to, because that would make tracking all of this a lot easier. It’s not impossible to calculate that, the information is all there, it’s just spread out and requires a bunch of leg work.
