It was all over the news what was on the bill, you just don't know because MSN, etc wouldn't cover how ridiculous it was.

The NOS, the BBC, Reuters, Volkskrant…

There are international news sources which basically trash everything you are claiming.

There is plenty of blame to go around here. Hamas is clearly guilty of starting this conflict with Israel, just as Palestinian protestors are guilty of harassing Jewish students on college campuses across America, most of whom are simply trying to get an education. The flip side to this is Benjamin Netanyahu's insane scorched earth military tactics that have left so many innoc ...[text shortened]... a owes them these weapons.

This situation is a world class mess - I don't have any answers. 😕

To be honest, Hamas can be seen as a reaction to Israel’s behaviour towards the Palestinians the last 60 years or so.

And no, that does not justify Hamas’ behaviour. What it does mean is that 7 October 2023 wasn’t the actual start of any conflict. It was just the start of the recent escalation.

It is a war started by Hamas.
They raped women and children.
They burnt babies in ovens in front of their parents
They murdered 1200 civilians
They rejoiced in the streets.
Israel responded.
People will die
Hamas is still fighting.
Hamas is still holding hostages
Hamas is not surrendering.

What did you expect from stupid people.

Yes, you dumb fukk. That just doesn’t give anyone the right to flaunt international law.

Netanyahoo and his cronies are going to be summoned with arrest warrants by the international court of justice. Just wait and see.

It’s fukking attrocious what’s going on iver there. And you can’t just sit back and do nothing. I’m sure someone Jewish once coined that very same bloody phrase.

Nobody cares what Hamas says. Neither of the Hamas Charters, 1988 or 2017 is of any significance. So why you posted all that crap is weird. Nobody reads that. Certainly the Jews, dont care.

The wise man looks at the action of Hamas, and what the people of Gaza want and support. They have made their position abundantly clear.

Yeah, so have you, you racist kunt.

On this point; why is it every EU country of which they have travelled to and have applied for asylum in, has rejected them?

That would be one country within the Schengen arrangement will have rejected them.
And that, I presume, will be on an individual basis.

Sending them to Rwanda???

Well, this is one for the books.
The UK is paying Rwanda, a country the UK itself has criticised for its lack of human rights, 250 million pounds and a further 150.000 pounds per refugee, to accept asylum seekers who “illegally” enter Britain.

It will cost the British tax payer 63.000 pounds per refugee more than keeping the refugee in Britain.

It’s obviously a scheme that’s going to be short-lived, but do you think it’s acceptable?

Is it morally okay to send asylum seekers to third countries to be processed and live (they can’t return to Britain)?

And if so, is changing the law to make said third-party country “a safe country” in anyway acceptable?

https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-61782866

In November 2023, the UK Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Rwanda scheme was unlawful.
It said genuine refugees would be at risk of being returned to their home countries, where they could face harm.
This breaches the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which prohibits torture and inhuman treatment. The UK is a signatory to the ECHR.

After the Supreme Court ruled that the scheme was unlawful, the government introduced a bill to make clear in UK law that Rwanda is a safe country.

The legislation - which was finally approved on 22 April after intense political wrangling - orders the courts to ignore key sections of the Human Rights Act.
It also compels the courts to disregard other British laws or international rules - such as the international Refugee Convention - which would block deportations to Rwanda.
The UK government also signed a new migration treaty with Rwanda, which Home Secretary James Cleverly said guarantees that anyone sent there would not risk being returned to their home country.

What does Muslims in your area have to do with Islamic extremists killing, raping and kidnapping Jews?

Nothing.
And that’s the point. Your islamophobia bunches them altogether.

I can prove both, so what’s your point?

The only way you can “prove” both automatically means the democratic party now is different to the democratic party then.

But, because you think it’s relevant, my point is that you are an idiot.

Yes.

The defense is that they were backups just in case a legal challenge to the result of the election were to have succeeded. The prosecution says, no, it wasn't that at all--they were going to try to get Pence to use the fake electors' votes instead of the genuine ones all along, but Pence didn't play along with it.

Instead of voter ID, America should implement elector ID.

Republicans would be scary if they weren’t that stupid.

They’re the Dr. Doofenschmirtzes of politics.

My God.

Are these fake electors the same “alternative” electors republicans here have been saying “is a thing”?

Crazy world the US of A.

@mott-the-hoople said
why do you call me an idiot for posting a historically accurate statement?

Because you connect a political party’s policies from 100 years ago to the policies today.

On one hand you are claiming democrats = KKK, on the other hand you are claiming democrats = woke.

So, you see, you are an idiot.

Islam is a genocidal religion
Islam teaches its followers to convert or kill.
Muslims are the maniacs.

All smart people are islamophobic.
The fools are not

Listen to yourself.

Christianity teaches to turn the other cheek… yet how many wars and murders have taken place because of Christianity?

Have you ever even met a moslim?

Hey… and do you know that Iraq, Iran and the Palestinians were generally open to all religions and reasonably secular until the West got involved?

Look in the mirror, before judging others, my racist little fukkwad.

Israel does not need help. They have enough.

So the US can stop funding their ethnic cleansing regime?

Major provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 are scheduled to expire at the end of 2025.

https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/biden-vows-let-trump-era-tax-cuts-expire-next-year-meaning-higher-rates-millions

This means that Biden breaks his promise that he will not raise taxes on those making less than $400k. It is all here.
No opinion from AvJoe. Higher rates for, well, you.

So, because something is scheduled to expire, you’re stating that the current president is increasing taxes?

Isn’t it the president who set the expiration date the one who is raising these taxes?

Oh the irony… the extreme right worried about Jews.
