what clinton did was unethical and wrong (you can tell because he destroyed Lewinsky's life.) but there was not any criminal activity involved other than perjury. trump was convicted on 34 counts of fraud!

not least since Trump was convicted of falsifying business records to cover up the adultery. Like, this is a much, much worse scandal than Clinton's. And clinton was impeached and (imo) should have resigned.

It should also be a bigger story because the most reasonable alternative explanation is “the president has a functional nursemaid with him at all times because he can no longer competently make it through his days on his own.”

I have to say it does seem like, "the president and his wife are separated because of his very public adultery and now he's sleeping with an aid who is fifty years his junior" would be a bigger story in most admins.

I have a pair of very cute very pink boots. I described them as "pepto bismal pink" & my phone changed "bismal" to Bismillah - so they're now known as my pepto bismillah boots. Similarly it changes the word "duke" to "dyke" so idk about your Siri but it looks like my Siri is a gay Muslim.

Ramulus Mason was one of the first people given a mandatory life sentence without parole under North Carolina’s three-strikes law. After 30 years, the man Mason shot is trying to help get him out of prison.

Precisely. Creating a narrow standard of femininity predicated on weakness and using it as a weapon to punish especially black women. Notice they haven’t said a peep about soccer which is primarily played by white women in the US, has more teams and pays more money.

Once again I must note that a major goal here is to destroy women’s sports. By redefining any woman who defies their strict rules for femininity as a “man,” they basically deny that women’s sports are real. Because, to them, a female athlete is not a woman. sports.yahoo.com/articles/wnb...

its really going to be impossible to get our minds around everything that has just happened. decades of work to understand it presumably. so much tangible and intangible stuff has just, evaporated. never to return. its for the best

israel is killing kids in lebanon now. just off on a bender. its lobby is spending hundreds of millions in your primaries just in the desperate hope it can kill a few more before the party ends. mideast bases gone, gulf states quietly cutting deals with iran. lmao. wild shit.

It says a lot about how the US conceptualizes its role in the Middle East that every single administration will inevitably try to create a peace framework which does not require Israel to publicly commit to anything ever because it would be impossible due to Israeli Jewish domestic concerns.

Hamas officials told senior US adviser Jared Kushner that they will only begin implementing the Board of Peace’s disarmament plan if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly commits to adhering to its terms as well, an Arab diplomat tells The Times of Israel.

Netanyahu has publicly come out against the proposal, and is unlikely to shift his position ahead of the October 27 Knesset election.

The Board of Peace is hoping that coaxing Netanyahu to quietly restore a halt on IDF strikes in Gaza will be sufficient enough to allow for Hamas to begin handing over its weapons, but the Arab diplomat says the terror group is unlikely to do so without a public announcement from the Israeli premier in which he expresses support for the disarmament plan.

"I don't agree with them on everything, but the one thing all democrats know is that Trump & the Republicans are looting the nation and getting rich while you can't afford gas and groceries." it's that easy, y'all. you can steal it for free. or pay me $250,000 idk what the going rate is

Their best defense against the growing challenge from the left would be simply to meet the moment and act more aggressively against Trump. If they just did that, half the energy behind DSA challenges would dissipate and they'd be safe. But no, they'd rather punch left in a panic.
