Laughter, snark and sarcasm because life without those is just too damn brutal. PacNW. Car guy. Infosec dork. I play devil's advocate to positions I agree with. 2020 election deniers are flat-Earthers.I said what I said.

I forget who posted it (maybe it was you, even, lol, and I paraphrase) but I can't get past the "Biden has one bad debate and no other missteps since, Trump the felon says something batshit crazy every day and the media is still on the bad debate guy"

I have no skin in this entertaining thread but that ALT text fits way too many flat Earth anti-vaxxers. "You experts aren't really experts, I saw a meme that disproves your area of expertise"

But he says sentences forcefully and confidently and for ~40% of the electorate that's enough even if it is about sharks and batteries and everything else is fabricated on the spot. "Give us a confident bullshitter over a guy who accomplishes shit but can't really debate well anymore". FFS 👇

If Biden said out loud any one Trump Truth Social post (making it sound like his own) the media would freak out that he's lost his mind. The asymmetrical coverage is unbelievable.

Certainly. I work with some. I have a Jewish gf too and I don't have anyone in my circles that think what's going on over there is good and they'd all like the US to stop supporting it, as would I.

Also, they conveniently made it so "official duties" could be interpreted by the courts, so they could say, say no to something Biden does but say yes to Trump doing the identical thing. I *think* it would take Congress to define "official" more clearly to limit that somewhat.

No, Palestinian's are fucked. I was simply pointing out why, historically - as far as American help - they have been and that doesn't look to change anytime soon based on current US presidential candidates.

I believe it. They strike me as the same people who would think Jesus is too woke.

It's the same reason we didn't do anything over the Khashoggi killing.

The topic was the election and reasons not to vote Biden. For the election our realistic options are just Biden or Trump. Neither are going to stop Netanyahu because US defense industry, jobs and $.

And your belief is Trump will change the US position? Based on what statements from Trump?

Fake news! Not a single MAGA-approved book will ever lead them to that kind of information. There's NO way we could have ever had a president that couldn't walk, wheelchairs and walkers weren't invented until after the Internet (because nothing existed before the Internet).

Voting 3rd party might give them higher moral ground but for '34 German Jews I don't think they were claiming victory 8 years later. Gotta avoid the closest boulder before worrying about the one behind it.

Trump winning in November makes the US the same as Nazi Germany circa 1934, the number of similarities are huge. There were some pro-Hitler Jews early on too and that didn't work out for them.

I have, but Trump isn't the solution. My take: * Protesting under Biden isn't working * Protesting under Trump won't only not work, your LGBTQ+ friends lose rights, all recent climate change progress gets wiped out and pollution regulation gets hugely weakened

"I refuse to lay this brick for a foundation, it's just one brick and there will be other bricks. Disregard the fact that if you listen to me and *also* not put down a brick, everything will be fine there's enough people other do the hard work" I'll take ideas that don't scale for $1,000, Alex.

Happy Higgs Boson Anniversary! On this day 12 years ago, CERN confirmed the Higgs boson exists. That just means there’s a universal field most things interact with that gives them mass. The boson pops up when the field is jostled enough by, say, LHC collisions. 🧪 home.cern/science/phys...
