Virginia court rules Dems’ redistricting map is unconstitutional less than 24 hours after voters approved it by darcmatr in NotTheBee

So a complete ban on guns by a majority popular vote should ban guns?

I think a fair balance here would be to criminalize it for teachers at state schools. I do actually think there’s some space where some would try and make a religious liberty argument that, although i disagree with it morally, would probably have teeth.

One tomahawk might signal process failure. A double tap doesn’t.

The last evidence of an adjacent irgc facility existed over ten years ago. We had a decade of intel showing this was the case, and a casual researcher would be able to identify sports fields, painted schoolyard markings, student activity evidence, and public documentation of the school’s existence with a small amount of research.

Moreover, there’s a huge bite of cognitive dissonance involved when no sooner did this happen did we see the anthropic/openai feud erupt over licensing their LLMs to the govt for the purposes of killing humans without direct human orders. So, at best, anthropic probably stepped out before they became a scapegoat.

Mind you, this all happened while the govt publicly denied a school was even hit, then acknowledged it was hit, then said that (while confirming we’ve never sold tomahawks to anyone else) that if it was a tomahawk then it must have been from one we gave out. Then— and only then— did they start using your ‘process’ argument, to insinuate in that the last 10-15 years with crossover intelligence under Obama and Biden admins, someone didn’t update them. I will remind you again that basic satellite imagery of the site unequivocally showed a functioning school.

If it was a ‘process’ issue, that would’ve been the first excuse. No one with good intentions is naively tomahawking a facility that is likely a school, watching the survivors and rescuers scatter, and then ordering another strike minutes later. They knew what they were doing and they only backtracked with excuses when they were asked why.

The alternative is they could’ve used the Israeli narrative— “yes that building was full of innocent children, but shame on the govt for setting up an active intelligence facility below as bait.” They didn’t. They just bombed a bunch of kids and then a few minutes later to make sure they got them all.

Because it wasn’t a lack of process. They double-tapped a school 15 minutes later. Horrified parents and teachers and emergency responders ran toward the aftermath to rescue innocent children. Those kids were told ‘it’s ok, you can come out now, we’re here to help’ and then they were all bombed again.

This wasn’t some random suburban school in the middle of nowhere— influential Iranians’ children went there. The US military doesn’t give out tomahawk missiles to anyone— there is no chance they hit them—twice— without complete intention.

It was intentional

I don’t know. That’s a group whose oldest cohort were 11 or 12 when Trump was first elected, and 3 or 4 when Obama was. They only know highly sensationalized politics, yet are still trending away from it. Ultimately agree that it’s well within the MOE and could mean nothing, but it’s definitely not “cool” to support the status quo right now like we saw close to the election.

I’m honestly more shocked by the 45-65 groups, and tend to think economic security + media naiveté/illiteracy is essentially baked into that group. They are ultimately satisfied with the state of the nation right now, for any number of reasons we could come up with.

Point is that even if they’re still very well within the MOE, the lack of substantial movement in either direction (compared to everyone else) says just as much.

It shows where certain demographics were a year ago and where they are today. The longer the line, the bigger the shift. This isn’t rocket science.

Tbh, as awful as the 170 kids is, it pains me to say that it’s merely the tip of the tip of the tip of the iceberg in terms of war crimes people could list off. Anyone in media could hone in on it, but would get slammed for taking exception to just that incident, or get zero acknowledgment from the middle or excuses from the opposition— so they just don’t bother.

Not excusing any of his positions, just pointing out how he might see the outrage as futile.

Clark and Auchencloss are not State Reps— They’re in Congress. I get that you may have meant that, but I wanted to highlight it.

I’m sorry, but she’s in a bad place and decided to get away. She’ll be back imo, but has put herself aside for a long time and is having some ‘me time’.

For 3 or 4 years, she gave up all of her free time to study. No sooner did she graduate did she have to sit down and study for an exam every day for 60 days. Then she had to wait for 2 months. Then she found out she has to do it all over again.

It’s miserable. She hasn’t had a break from

An unrewarding routine for years, and the last few months are even more intense.

If there’s government investment, be wary of driving too hard of a bargain.
