No it’s not one for one the same, but almost universally oppression of one’s country or culture WILL result in people up rising. Hamas is not perfect and from what I understand it’s harmful even to Palestinians but was formed as a response to Israel’s oppression.

So Israel occupation had nothing to do with the formation of Hamas? Reminds me of how a certain oppressive government tried to force their will over certain colonies and in the late 1770s they formed a resistance and won their independence. But it’s all Hamas fault.

The same people who oppose federal regulation of essential social programs are the ones who’d demand to see a manager over getting three pickles on their burger instead of four! 🍔

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @schumer.senate.gov you should not be leading the Democratic party right now. While you all reach out to rich donors, the people you claim to support are screaming for fighters. That's not you, and that's ok. Just step down so real leaders can rise.

Ah, but dear interlocutor, one must marvel at the sheer unimpeachable veracity of such a proclamation! Verily, no loftier elucidation could be conjured, nor a more sagacious rationale be rendered, for this, indeed, stands as the paramount justification, unchallenged by the annals of reason!

For all the chest-beating about “meritocracy,” Trump’s administration is shaping up to be anything but. Makes you wonder if someone meant to type “mediocrity” and autocorrect had other plans.

It is not difficult to understand that Trump is unable to govern properly so he has to resort to amassing power to avoid oversight. It’s not difficult to be a bully, anybody with half a brain cell can do that.

I get where you are coming from but f-that! I have tempered myself for years. I don’t want people like fetterman. Their behavior is the problem not ours, they serve the people, if they don’t want their feelings hurt they need to do their jobs or step aside.

When we elected Trump for the second time we saw this steam roller moving towards us and we have been sounding alarms ever since, it’s now here and we are getting crushed. We need to get him and his cronies behind bars now. Democrat leaders do something while we can, we don’t need another statement!

Alt: Scene from Austin Powers Movie where a security guard is pancaking about getting crushed by a steam roller moving towards him even though it is moving incredibly leaving him plenty of time to move out of the way. Unfortunately he does not move and eventually gets crushed.

I wonder if his first action will be to create a viral tuna melt video. I have been so pessimistic since the inauguration and watching leadership capitulate with Trump.

We learned that lesson after the civil war. We forgave the confederacy and they quickly regained power. As a result, we never really atoned for that stain on our history. Not a single fiber in my being gives a damn if they suddenly feel bad. Earn back trust, because freedom is not free! FAFO
