I can’t find any record of them bringing the planes back except for trump claiming it happened. Journalists seem to agree Israel completed their strike on a radar installation in retaliation for a missile fired right as the ceasefire was going into effect.

Bad troll, take a hike

It’s kinda hard to look at what’s currently happening in the US and not feel like every person who failed to vote against trump is a bit of an asshole. What a nightmare we all have to live through now.

The prisoners Bush had sent to Egypt were not sent from the US, they were sent from different countries that allowed extradition to Egypt. It was disgusting and abhorrent, but it isn’t the same thing as what we’re seeing now.

Flying people from the US to foreign prisons without due process is a blatant violation of the constitution.

The attack point has to be something that both sides of the political spectrum finds repulsive. If only right wingers have a problem it makes the lefties look like hypocrites, and if it’s something only people on the left care about it’s ineffective.

Eyeliner and weak chins/beards aren’t things people on the left tend to take issue with, while white nationalism and misogyny aren’t things people on the right take issue with.

The military thing could work, but it’s not punchy enough, it’s too specific and not very funny. The couch fucker jokes are easy laughs.

I think part of it is about making him into a joke to prevent him from gaining the cult following necessary to be another trump. I don’t think trump supporters would care about the valid criticisms, but the idea he has sex with couches is provocative and humorous, and seems to have become one of the only things a lot of people know about him.

The glass is also weirdly large considering it looks like it should be at roughly the same distance as the people.

And El Salvador

Under Bukele’s crackdown, the government has been undercounting homicides by as much as 47 percent. This is no bureaucratic or clerical error. Since taking office, Bukele’s administration has been laser-focused on reducing homicide rates and improving perceptions of security.

I doubt you’d be happy with that long term. I had a friend who did that and it burned him out hard, working long hours for a family he hardly had time with. But maybe you’re exceptional.

Regardless, it’s not easy to find a job like that in this economy.

I guess if you’re just looking at one side. To me a close relationship requires mutual commitment, like we used to have with Canada. Our appeasement of Russia isn’t closeness, it’s obsequiousness.

Our era of close ties with Russia has been over for a damn hot minute. Trump thinks he’s friends with Putin, but Putin just wants to cripple the US.

Either Oakland has changed wildly in a very short time or you have no idea what you’re talking about.

I don’t think anyone claimed what Israel is doing was fine. Even Biden was critical.

When Ukraine surrendered their nuclear weapons the US promised to help protect them from Russia. It was our duty to help. To get the Ukraine funding passed it had to be bundled with assistance for Israel, or Republicans would not have voted for it.

Biden gave Ukraine $120 billion for defense against the invasion.

He gave $18 billion to Israel and $2 billion to Gaza.

Like 10% of all housing sits vacant, the lack of supply in the market is not just a lack of units, it’s also a strategy by investors to keep prices high.

Both actually, as depressing as that is. The entire region started as the Oregon Territory just before the civil war, and ever since the beginning has had to grapple with far right nutjobs.

Over time the coastal west of each state became more and more blue and populous, while the east stayed rural and backwards.

Things are slowly changing though, Spokane county has voted blue for the past decade.
