The problem is the lack of debate. This team think that makes every idea from the other side stupid by default. A parliamentary system will fail when people stop talking to each other.

Somewhat agreed, but there are a few things that really need to be behind debate (human caused climate change, the need for universal healthcare and universal human rights, the efficacy of vaccines, etc.). Some political organization is a good thing.

Initiation is completely irrelevant, the boss has power over the worker either way and that power imbalance shuts down any possibility of ethical sex. If you are a leader with any kinda character you do not have any sexual activities with your subordinates ever.

Also, kinda off topic, but initiation is very much in the eye of the beholder sometimes and SAers love to argue the other person initiated, so it’s just a very weak signpost to rely on in these situations (and that’s not even considering intoxication being a factor)

I mean some of their parents cheered on black churches getting bombed in the 60s for sure

“The deal” is the worker fucks the boss or the worker’s career gets destroyed so yeah that’s a big old frowny face

Since October 7, 2023, the already precarious state of cancer care in the occupied Palestinian territories has deteriorated dramatically, reaching catastrophic levels, particularly in Gaza. The pre-existing systemic challenges have been severely exacerbated, creating an unprecedented humanitarian and health crisis.

In Gaza, the landscape of cancer care has been largely obliterated. The Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, which was the sole specialized cancer treatment facility, has been extensively damaged by Israeli airstrikes and was forced to close due to a lack of fuel and medical supplies. Reports indicate it was eventually blown up, leaving thousands of cancer patients with nowhere to go for treatment. The Palestinian Ministry of Health has stated that intravenous chemotherapy services and medical follow-up for cancer patients have completely ceased in Gaza. This means that an estimated 10,000 cancer patients in Gaza are now deprived of life-saving chemotherapy, radiotherapy (which was already unavailable in Gaza pre-war), and other critical treatments, leading to preventable deaths and immense suffering.

I feel the sentiment, but I’d rather have this than the inevitable “We asked Harris who she supported in Michigan and she didn’t say, Democrats are in Disarray!!1!” headline we would have gotten instead

Nah, Schumer sucks and needs to be removed from his job as quickly as possible, but so long as he’s still the Minority Leader in the Senate it would be weird and turn into a news story if he didn’t say something like this

Seems notable that we don’t have a headline with Joe Biden or whoever urging moderates to vote Democratic

No, but taking pictures of your own kids when they were naked at home for your private family album was more socially acceptable then

You’re describing “NORMAL” behavior from a generation ago. You are right that people up thru the 90s would act that way, but Michael Jackson news and Catholic Church scandals made this a lot less socially acceptable over the last 3 decades or so.

After a divorce caused her immigration status to lapse, Basele was issued a final order of removal in 2011.

She lost her status because she got divorced? The fuckin fuck even is that shit

Real subtle /s

As of Friday evening, more than 48,000 of the migrants had voluntarily returned to Morocco, Spanish officials said.

Seems like a pretty important detail to leave out of the headline

Using my advanced powers of media literacy I am hearing you say the article doesn’t say what you just claimed it did and now you’re mad about being caught in a lie

I don’t think wasting time arguing over a question’s wording instead of just diving into the actual substance of the issue like Larkin did would have looked good, and looking at the rest of that exchange it seems like the Fox people sure didn’t like how it went for them,

Gallagher asked Larkin if he supports open borders.

“I don’t think there’s anything to fear with people seeking a better life in the United States of America,” Larkin answered before he noted his wife is the “proud daughter of a Nicaraguan immigrant.”

Larkin cited legislation by Jared Moskowitz, his opponent in the Congressional race, who was part of the effort that passed the Laken Riley Act, which requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to detain immigrants who have been accused of a crime. Riley was a 22-year-old student who was attacked and killed by José Antonio Ibarra, an undocumented immigrant.

The pair sparred verbally on the topic of immigration. “We need to keep our communities safe and we need to hold people accountable when they have harmed others, when they have broken the law but let’s be clear. Immigration is a civil violation, not a criminal violation,” Larkin said.

“So we need to stop treating the equivalent of a parking ticket like people are breaking the law and need a militarized police force breaking down their door,” he continued. “So the comparison here is not one of criminality. It is whether we are respecting international law, the right to asylum, the right of respecting refugees’ rights.”

Gallagher repeatedly attempted to engage Larkin on the topic of an acceptable number of “children who can be raped and it’s fine in relation to the immigration community.”

“If we’re going to talk about children being raped, then we need to hold this pedophile president Donald Trump accountable and all those that can implicate in the Epstein files that the Department of Justice is still not leaking and they’ve sent AIPAC after Thomas Massie—” Larkin began before Gallagher interjected, “Got it, thanks.”

“—for having the temerity to hold accountable the pedophiles that are in control of our government,” Larkin concluded.

“Thank you. We appreciate your time very much,” Gallagher said before the segment’s end.

If that was true why not quote the relevant section?

[Spain’s prime minister] attributed the mass crossing to “human trafficking mafias” that had taken advantage of a decision by Spain’s supreme court, which recently ruled that those intercepted at sea while trying to enter Ceuta, or Spain’s other north African enclave of Melilla, could not be summarily returned under special rules.

Also,

The Moroccan government is asking its citizens who have crossed the border to return home. Morocco’s ambassador to Spain, Karima Benyaich, said at an embassy event Thursday that the situation in Ceuta was “not wanted by the Kingdom of Morocco,” adding that it would “prefer legal, orderly, and safe immigration for everyone.”

I couldn’t make that argument to a trans person
