I wish I could go back in time and cheer for your father to pull out, but his game was weak.

That's the opposite of what "we" wanted when the USA founded the nation of Israel in the British partition of Palestine via our rubberstamping agency the UN. (It's trying to take on a life of its own these days, if only it could get out from beneath the UNSC.)

Any person has that standing because they also have rights.

It's also not your behalf specifically, it's all people's behalf, because we all have a right to be free from overly broad surveillance.

In a world in which the police were trustworthy we wouldn't need any of this. But in a world in which people were trustworthy, we wouldn't have police, because slavery never would have existed...

What evidence is there that Israel's actions have done that?

It makes sense on one or two bases.

One, because he's getting kickbacks from the corporations these decisions benefit.
Two, because he is paid to by other nations or because he's being blackmailed into it.

Nothing precludes the answering being both things, of course.

It's a struggle to make it make sense any other way.

Is there any time of day when you're not a big fucking idiot? Undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than it costs to support them. Many of them even pay income taxes like anyone else, I know this for a fact because one of them used my SSN to do it with one year. This didn't cause me any problems with the IRS, either. Your hate for people who work harder than you do to care for their families is pathetic.

The Democrat leadership is in bed with the Republican leadership, period, especially Chuck the Fuck. Too many of them are too personally enriched by the status quo to want anything to change. Pelosi is the poster child but a majority of Congress engages in not just insider trading, but actual market manipulation. No one should be allowed to be in a position to profit from anything they're voting for or against, but that's SOP for Congress today. It emboldens, enriches, and enables the worst possible people.

With that said, you're batshit crazy if you think that Democrats should be courting the Deplorables, which is frankly the kindest name you could possibly use for people who willfully supported child rape by voting for Cheeto Benito. You cannot reason with those people at all, they will only vote for the absolute worst things. The reason the Harris/Walz ticket failed was they were a status quo effort to change nothing which campaigned to the vanishing middle class, which didn't need any convincing to know how to vote. They needed to reach the young and poor, who traditionally do not bother to vote because no one is addressing their concerns. And indeed, they either did not address them, or said the opposite of what they needed to say to win.

It improves Trump's personal economy as fossil fuel fucks pump money into his wallet.

They aren't buddies, and they aren't.

No.

We're paying Israel to attack the nations around them, period. That's why we founded their country, period.

I wish I believed this, but I think only about a third does. Another third thinks this is great and the last third is made up of people with heads up asses, the kind of people who still think they can be apolitical even though politics happens to them whether they understand it or not.

The medical establishment is still trying to pretend mold doesn't cause health problems, you're surprised they don't want to acknowledge infrasound noise?

The same thing could happen to you just because GPS reception was poor, accuracy fell, and the GPS reported motion which didn't actually occur.

If that fucker is not a bot, he's the most irritating idiot who ever had an account here.

You can always tell someone has nothing worth saying when they post in monospace text to get attention.

I'm not worried, it's shit and I'm smart enough to know it's shit.

That's not how anything works. The workers don't work in a vacuum. State policies enable earnings, or don't.
