Was gonna say, they’ve not been given any reason to care about international law.

Although, I swear I saw that the ICC put out a warrant for Bibi.

She had a pre recorded “please help us because IDF kidnapped us” video. They wanted this exact response and knew they would get it.

Even North Korea are less predictable than this.

I’m so proud of LA right now.

Those of us on the opposite side of the country may or may not be ready, as well, when our time comes. (And it’s definitely a “when.”)

Note that none of these policies ever involve “giving.” It’s all taking this away, means-testing this, banning that, etc.

Hilariously true. Anyone who puts actual faith in those guys or relies on them for anything is insane. (Or just desperate as fuck, which Russia may be becoming.)

I can’t help but think back to when Musk was threatening to cut off poor, remote areas in South America from Starlink over petty shit. Yall want THAT guy to be your friend? Yikes.

Completely agree, and would like to add:

With all of the info coming out about Biden basically being puppet-stringed through those last few years, I think it’s safe to say anything he “approved” was basically putting a stamp in a sleeping person’s hand and using their arm to stamp the paper.

Soooo…..who ACTUALLY called the shots, made the plans, etc, with regard to Israel policy?

That’s what I wanna know, like, yesterday.

She was mentioned in a Wikipedia article related to this voyage that I was reading about. It’s super weird for any article talking about this to exclude her, as she’s arguably as big of a deal as Greta.

Comments like this are the whole reason I’m here. Got banned from Reddit for talking self-defense against armed people trying to rip your family apart.

I’d like to think realistic discussion is safer here.

Those are the things the Jackass guys got shot with in the first movie. The company called it a “Stingmore” mine.

Way too many people are comfortable with utilizing anything referred to as a “mine” against unarmed civilians.

Careful, hosting a podcast makes one a strong contender for federal law enforcement leadership.

Ex alcoholic and “cirrhosis survivor” here. (I hate that latter term.)

I’m stunned that this situation went down how it did.

I had the full jaundice package when I finally went into the hospital and agreed to detox. I was told I would have to be booze-free for a minimum of six months to be considered for a transplant of any kind; both my liver and kidneys were in concerning shape.

They told me the timeframe for actually being considered was more like two years; there’s basically a board of trustees for each state, they review every case requesting an organ transplant and decide who gets what. (It’s literally a death panel, haha.)

No matter how good I was/am, I would still be at the very lowest priority. They’d have to have available livers as far as the eye can see for me to have a realistic chance. There is no actual chance I would ever get a donor liver, and I don’t want one.

I was dumb. I did it completely to myself. It’s not as simple as “you could’ve quit anytime you wanted,” trying to do that with alcohol is extraordinarily dangerous, BUT I did indeed do this to myself. It would be galactic levels of unethical and immoral for me to be trying to take a donor liver away from ANYONE.

I have since recovered way past the expectations of any medical personnel who worked on me during that time. July 1 will be two years alcohol-free for me.

My point in all of this is that I’m honestly having trouble believing this guy got this transplant at all, let alone so fast.

A, uh, government bearing arms against its citizens….why you ask…?
