I don’t think people trying to push their way onto light rail trains needs a Marxist analysis. But it certainly is annoying. Just, like, look into the train before crowding to the door. It isn’t that hard even when it’s crowded.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

    Gee, it’s too bad those 36 premie Gazan infants are now in Egypt, maintained on Israel-provided ventilators.

    Babies kept alive and Israel gets some credit for it.

    Whatever will Hamas do now?

    Israel has publicly indicated a desire to mitigate the crisis there — not by ending the siege but by offering fuel and mobile incubators.

    Or they could have….not destroyed a hospital that thus far the IDF has provided zero evidence that the alleged “Hamas HQ in the Basement” exists save a tiny cache of maybe functional AKs stored without ammo anywhere in the tiny room that “just trust us, these are HAMAS weapons. We have literally never lied about anything having to do with the killing of children. Never. No no no, that was LAST year we lied about that stuff. We are the NEW IDF! Anti-Semite! You are Anti-Semitic!”

    Israeli Strike Killed 5 Gaza Children, Officials Admit, After Initially Blaming Islamic Jihad
    Immediately after their deaths on the final day of the recent Israel-Gaza flare-up, Israeli senior officers had said the five were likely killed by a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket, a day after what was initially seen as a similar incident

    Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit is worried that Nikki Haley may curtail anonymous social media postings.

    It’s understandable that he is concerned. After all, he has gotten away with referring to Muslims as towelheads, North Vietnamese as gouks, and black people as eggplants, due to his anonymity.

    Imagine if he was doxxed, and people would learn his address. His contention that he is a millionaire, despite all of the evidence to the contrary, would evaporate in an instant.

    … thus far the IDF has provided zero evidence that the alleged “Hamas HQ in the Basement” exists …

    This comment will not age well.

    Here’s an ABC News report, published nine hours ago, which relates that the Biden administration says that “declassified intelligence supports Israel’s claims”.

    “Hamas and PIJ members operate a command-and-control node from Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.”

    That’s out of the mouth of a Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary.

    Is it 1400 or 1200 vs..

    well over 11,000.. yeah right.. maybe some skeletal remains can harvested one day for a proper count.. Well, that is, if Israel can restrain any impulse to colonize Gaza.

    @3 Nobody ever called North Vietnamese “gouks,” but every American soldier, sailor, airman, and Marine who served in Vietnam called them “gooks.” Are you calling 3 million U.S. war veterans racists? Sure looks like you are. Fyi, eggplant is a fruit, not a person.

    Hey, as long as we’re having a party, let’s throw one for the millions of WW2 vets who called the enemy “krauts,” “jerries,” “Japs,” etc. They’re racists, too, according to you.

    When Hamas infiltrates Reuters and the British Broadcasting Corporation:

    “We are hearing from Reuters that is reporting that Israel said it’s forces are carrying out a operation against Hamas in Gaza’s Al-Shifa hospital, targeting people, including medical teams as well as Arab speakers….. “Once again”, we are hearing from Reuters that Israel that it’s forces are carrying out an operation against Hamas, in that hospital, we just heard of, they are targeting Arab speakers as well as some of the medical staff there.”

    The reality:

    Jack Ryan 🇺🇸🇺🇦
    @jackryan212
    BBC issued an apology today after saying medical teams and Arabic speakers were being targeted at al Shifa. When in reality the report was that the IDF was bringing Arabic speaking medical teams into the hospital to fill positions of anyone who wanted to evacuate.

    “During a time of significant emotional distress, and fear over the rise in hate, I made a shorthand comment on social media that unfortunately was misconstrued. When I said we were ‘armed and ready’ I meant we were ready in terms of having local police present to ensure everyone’s safety …,” the statement issued by Dan Gilbert, the now-suspended part owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers and an ardent Israel supporter says.

    Gilbert’s original social media posts said, “We will be armed and ready for you cowardly punks this Wednesday” and “We’re armed and ready for you punks. We don’t have an ounce of fear.”

    The part about “the police” must be written in invisible pixels.

    So the new Trump theory is that when affixing one’s signature to a document that sates that all the information is true “to the best of my knowledge” it’s ok to lie your ass off if you add in, ‘our accounting processes might be different than yours.’

    Of course that line of defense has already been rejected in this very court.

  33. 33

    @ 32

    So the new Trump theory…

    See non-GAAP. It’s why some industries choose to describe their results in terms of “FCF” (free cash flow) or EBITDA, rather than NOI.

    Of course that line of defense has already been rejected in this very court.

    Also probably rejected is that everyone else does the same thing and the banks factor that in when evaluation a loan package.

    It’s why there is no demonstrated harm to anyone as a result of what Team Trump did. The lenders account for it in their decision-making.

    You know if enough people call and ask, “What the fuck is wrong with you?” of conservatives they might come around to realizing why they keep losing elections.

    Sherman Independent School District voted unanimously to restore Trans Gender student to the lead male role in “Oklahoma” and to allow Sherman High to use the full play and not “Oklahoma Jr.” a one hour version designed of pre-teen actors. The board also issued an official apology to the student they originally banned from the role.

    The board was also concerned the 1943 Rogers and Hammerstein musical included a little to much titillation for high schoolers when they mandated the ‘Jr.’ version of the show.

    @33 “some industries choose to describe their results in terms of ‘FCF’ (free cash flow) or EBITDA, rather than NOI”

    The court has determined what Trump did isn’t that innocuous.

    @33 “everyone else does the same thing and the banks factor that in”

    Of course, it’s impossible to know what everyone else does without seeing their loan applications, but we can infer that most borrowers don’t do what Trump does because (a) they haven’t been indicted, and (b) their lenders haven’t gone bankrupt.

    It turns out a lot of American Jews don’t like to see their relatives murdered and then watch lefties insist that they merely turn the other cheek.

    Close watchers now expect AIPAC to spend at least $100 million in Democratic primaries, largely trained on eliminating incumbent Squad members from their seats. It’s likely that even more money will be spent by affiliated super PACs, including the Democratic Majority for Israel PAC and the Mainstream Democrats PAC, too. (These PACs have already launched six-figure ad buys against Bowman, Lee, and Tlaib, a year away from the election—an exorbitant, hardly strategic commitment largely meant to prove that money will not be in short supply.) Meanwhile, small-dollar fundraising numbers are way down across the board, making it even more difficult for those progressives to fund a defense.

    Take out the trash.

    In 2022, AIPAC endorsed 109 Republican members of Congress who voted to overturn the 2020 election, and raised millions from Republican megadonors like Trump backers Bernie Marcus and Paul Singer. It has staffed up heavily from far-right corners of Republican politics; the group’s digital director was hired away from Trump’s Republican National Committee just before Election Day in 2020.

    Here’s an interesting thing about all this.

    While “conservative”, MAGA, pro-Trump Super PACs like AIPAC will continue spending big $$ in primaries in largely unsuccessful efforts to pull Democratic candidates and their campaigns further away from their voters, progressive PACs don’t have to.

    MAGA does this work for them at no charge.

    MAGA delivers a seemingly inexhaustible supply of unelectable candidates like Doug Mastriano, Martha McSally, and Joe Kent like clockwork. And they will continue to do so for as long as Republicans remain too cowardly to confront Trump, The Big Lie, and their own bigoted, misogynistic, transphobic, xenophobic beating heart.

    Incompetent to stand trial and not guilty by reason of insanity are two different things, dumbfuck. If he’s eventually found competent to stand trial, and a jury rejects his insanity plea and finds him guilty, he most assuredly can — and likely will — get the death penalty. If, while on death row, he relapses into a mental state where he cannot be executed, that would postpone his execution until he understands that he’s being executed and why he’s being executed.

Pelosi as the motive for his attack.

    During frontier expansion and settlement, our ancestors conquered Native Americans, forced them onto reservations, then took their land and resources.

    During World War 2, American warplanes bombed German and Japanese hospitals and schools, killing many children in the process.

    Hey, the Israelis aren’t doing anything we haven’t done. They probably learned a lot of it from us.

    But there’s one more lesson to be learned: Maybe someday they’ll treat Palestinians the way we now treat Native American tribes. That’ll probably have to wait for different Israelis, though.

    Kinda weird that the photos IDF published showing the “Hamas Pentagon” uncovered beneath Al Shifa hospital featured computer equipment with power cords that are only compatible with Israeli power outlets and included screenshots indicating IDF software systems.

    I would have done better with this.

    Demorat-Pfizer Party Of Vax Mandates & Chickenhawk Warmongers News – Machine voting is our greatest strength report.
    Here we go again, Republicans go nuts when their candidate has a few hundred thousand votes disappear; they just don’t understand modern voting machines. Modern voting machines have artificial intelligence which is much higher than the average voter IQ and the machine can tell when a voter has accidentally voted the wrong way, like maybe they’re drunk or something, then the machine will delete the drunken vote. In this case probably a lot of Demorats knew that they were going to win, went out and got drunk, and then accidentally voted Republican. So that explains it.

    Demorat-Pfizer Party Of Vax Mandates & Chickenhawk Warmongers News – Century of the Woman
    report.
    NASA celebrates Century of the Woman with the first-in-century all woman spacewalk. HA reporter
    R. Rabbit interviewed Spacewalk Manager Chad W.;
    Rabbit: Is NASA pleased with the century’s first all woman spacewalk?
    Chad: Yes we are, it could have been a lot worse. A lost tool bag doesn’t sound like a big deal but at orbital speed it has the energy of a couple tons of TNT. With a little luck it will burn up before it hits earth.
    Rabbit: Were the male astronauts concerned that something like this might happen?
    Chad: No, they were concerned that the women might wreck the whole space station. You know how it is, you come home from work and you find out that the wife has tried to fix something and wrecked it.
    Rabbit: Yes, I know.
    Chad: Anyway they were all fine after I explained my XX-Failsafe modification.
    Rabbit: How does that work?
    Chad: I programmed the autopilot so that it would stay on no matter what the women did with the controls.
    Rabbit: Did anything like that happen?
    Chad: Yes, a couple times. One of the women wanted to get a better view so she hit the retro-rocket button. That would have knocked the space station out of orbit and who knows where it would have landed, but the autopilot just ignored that command. The other woman tried to open the outside hatch after somebody farted, but again the XX-Failsafe prevented disaster.
    Rabbit: So all in all things worked out well?
    Chad: Yes, we’re all pleased with how it went. With XX-Failsafe we can hire all the hottest chicks we want, take them to space with us, and still probably make it back alive. So what if they lose some stuff, it’s worth it.
    Rabbit: Thanks Chad, and it’s good to know that NASA is doing its part to observe Century of the Woman.

    “I wanted to take a moment to cheer you on from the sidelines,” Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt said in a message to the Oklahoma Gamefowl Commission, which isn’t a state agency, but rather “a political action group that lobbies for lessened penalties for participation in cockfighting — which is illegal.”

    “You all know Oklahoma’s long and storied history with game fowl, from statehood to today. Oklahomans like yourselves remain dedicated to the spirit of competition and camaraderie that runs deep in our communities,” Stitt said, referring to a spectator sport in which birds tear each other to pieces in front of a stamping and clapping crowd of rednecks.

    That only works if you accept the dumbfuck’s narrative. People who are Palestinians, either born or descended, overwhelmingly have never voted for a Palestinian government AKA Hamas. Similarly, those still living in Gaza have never known anything but colonization. One doesn’t have to be ‘Pro Hamas’ to see the treatment of Gaza as abhorrent.

    The median age in Gaza is 20 making most people they’re either toddlers or unborn when the last election happened in 2006. Dumbfuck is getting you to play the game by staring that any Palestinian that doesn’t want their country bombed is de facto Hamas. All Chihuahuas are dogs. All dogs are chihuahuas. Palestinian not wanting relatives slaughtered is pro Hamas (Dumbfuck Propiganda), when actually, they just don’t want their relatives slaughtered.

    It’s a game the save Israel so the rapture can happen crowd is playing of making a connection between anyone who doesn’t want Arab babies murdered as supporting the attacks in Israel. Don’t play that game.

    Are there a handful of protesters who are antisemitic. Of course. In the same way that they’re a handful of elected Republicans who want all queers dead. But the exception doesn’t prove the rule. A protest calling for a cease-fire is no more pro Hamas than a guy seen drinking a Diet Coke is pro aspartame.

    @106 “Dumbfuck is getting you to play the game by staring that any Palestinian that doesn’t want their country bombed is de facto Hamas.”

    That’s the odious game he’s playing. These guys are playing it, too. Among their ilk, it’s a no-no to suggest that people on both sides victimize innocents on the other side, and if you do, they’ll retaliate against the institution where you teach or study. Victimizing others is what these people are good at.

    If you think for one moment I’m a puppet on the dumbfuck’s string, you don’t know me. There’s no need to rehash the wrongs committed by both sides. Here in America, and people have a right to peacefully demonstrate; some protesters are pro-Israel, others pro-Palestinian; I’m neither, I’m pro-peace.

    I will shout from the rooftops that you can’t get there by behaving the way Israel and Palestinians have behaved for the last 75 years now, i.e., the endless recycling of violence. But I shouldn’t have to; this should be obvious to anyone capable of thinking.

    Hamas started the latest war, and Israel has a right to defend itself, but the world should demand it adhere to civilized rules of engagement. Israel’s stated intention is eliminating Hamas from Gaza, and I take that as their military objective. A ceasefire short of that objective is not sound military strategy and is asking for too much. As an IDF spokesmen said, Hamas can have a ceasefire at any time by surrendering.

    But what comes after Hamas is defeated or surrenders? If Israel continues its mistreatment of the Palestinian people, what comes next will be a new terrorist organization rising from the ashes, continued violence, and another war at some point in the future. The free world should not accept that. It’s time to impose a two-state solution on the warring parties, and enforce it by conditioning our support and aid on not returning to the status quo ante bellum.

    @109 So current republicans want to be like the 19th century Pro Slavery politicians who tried to beat anyone who challenged them?
    No. that’s not acceptable. Liberals will defend themselves.

    – support for conventional values (for example, the concept of the traditional family of man women children with each performing traditional roles.)

    – authoritarian submission (submitting to perceived authorities)

    – authoritarian aggression (aggressive about enforcing hierarchies and norms)

    – stereotypy (a tendency to repeat certain words and phrases; think of group chants)

    – rigidity

    – glorifying toughness and power (and despising bookish weakness)

    – cynicism

    – projectivity (the view that the world is a dark and dangerous place)

    Recognize anyone you know?

    Won’t happen. Casinos require bathrooms, and bathrooms require plumbing. Hamas needs the pipes for rockets.
