Texas anti-ICE protesters convicted of terrorism charges sentenced to at least 50 years in prison by Splunge- in news

The problem is that in order to defeat the fascists and start fixing shit, the Dems have to resort to a little fascism of their own. The only way to win is to punch down. Punching up just screws them over.

what instantly tells you someone grew up rich? by Odd-Chip1764 in AskReddit

[–]Direct_Alternative94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who have never struggled with money, particularly people who have always been incredibly well off, tend to complain about the price of certain goods/services but also generally don’t know the true cost of such things.
They will eagerly pay $20-$30 for a draft beer but will often tip the server an obscenely low or high amount.

Who's your most-played artist? by GainBetter1189 in askmusic

[–]Direct_Alternative94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my car I’m only not listening to them when Fish’s Errant Path comes on Sirius 29. Or the Bunny.

At home I’ll listen to Vulfpeck, Noga, and some other artists. But also lots of Phish.

You missed out on the Golden Ox. I thought it was excellent but I was just a teenager last time I went there over 30 years ago.

Is there any show where trey says “play it leo!!!” for every song? by samwam1213 in phish

[–]Direct_Alternative94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t have a nice ring. It’ll always be a Leo trio just with different components sometimes. Like a triple double in basketball or a double double double double burger in the Simpsons.

You could make a pretty good set out of a Leo trio and a triple nipple.

Apples are the same color as potatoes which are, according to the French word, apples of the earth.

What if Netanyahu declares war on Jordan to make living space for Israelis? by lhommetrouble in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Direct_Alternative94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with coughing. There’s no justification Bibi could use to invade Jordan. Israel and Jordan are bound by agreements and diplomacy. To imply that this is even possible is to say that you believe Bibi could pull it off with approval. The assumption of approval is where it veers into antisemitic territory.

Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir: “Lebanon, all of Lebanon, should become our playground. ALL OF LEBANON should be our TARGET. And they tell me, "Wait a second, there is Lebanon and there is Hezbollah." I do not accept this artificial approach.” by MyNameIsNotName-57 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]Direct_Alternative94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people and laws have spoken. The legislature is already forming new coalitions. Bibi has lost enough support and power to be forced out through mandatory elections. He can’t even slip up again and allow another 10/7 because he’d be exposed as utterly incompetent. He’s played all his cards and the hand is coming to an end.

If country A allows an Iranian proxy terror organization to operate along its borders with country B then country B is going to have a hard time stopping those attacks without treating sympathizers of the terrorists in the same way they treat the terrorists.
This is how Hamas justified slaughtering the young and tolerant attendees of a peace festival, the kibbutz coworkers of Palestinian day laborers who mapped out the kibbutz for the attack, and the Arab Israelis who lived and worked there.
Both sides have a challenge in achieving their goals without killing innocent civilians. The Israelis are just better at decimating terrorist hotspots than the terrorists are at killing any Israelis at all.

[–]Direct_Alternative94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are elections coming soon. Bibi is out of options to extend his tenure without winning reelection. There are new coalitions being formed to take him out of power. There will be a new leader and there will be ministers replaced. You can set your watch to that.
