“President Donald Trump accused President Joe Biden of abandoning Israel after the incumbent said he would not supply the country with weapons it could use to invade Rafah.”

Trump wouldn’t offer even the token pushback that Biden has, and would likely ramp up the payments and weapons supplied to Israel.

When he was president before, he already massively cut aid to Gaza, and would probably do so again.

That’s how you go farther

And Trump has said he wants it to go even farther.

Always has.

I believe this depends on the state/local laws.

The only reason this happens is because our system is so weird. In every other country, funding is automatic and doesn’t need to be authorized separately. The fix is to switch to a similar setup. Of course, that will never happen, as it would take away this bludgeon the GOP uses to try to get its way.

I remember in 2015 there were images circulating after a debate claiming Hillary Clinton was wearing an earpiece, despite the pictures used as proof clearly being from a different event.

It’s because it was from Davis. He interrupted her constantly, including times when she was about to tell him it was his turn to talk. He didn’t interrupt Muir almost at all.

I’ll leave the reason why he interrupted one and not the other as an exercise for the reader.

That’s the way we do things lads, we’re making shit up as we wish!

Who didn’t have an election?

I suppose I shouldn’t be looking for meaning in anything he says.

Not only that, but according to the Bible, life begins at the first breath taken after birth. Also according to the Bible, the punishment for injuring a woman and causing her to miscarry is the same as for loss of property, which is dramatically different from the punishment for murder.

Kinda takes the wind out of the “abortion is murder” argument, from a biblical perspective, at least.

Confirmed as intentional? More like he’s such a narcissist that when someone pointed out that he’d misspelled it, he doubled down.

"It remains unclear what standards Khelif and Lin Yu Ting of Taiwan failed last year to lead to the disqualifications.

The IOC, which is overseeing the boxing competition in Paris, does not test for gender, and there never has been evidence that either Khelif or Lin had XY chromosomes or elevated levels of testosterone. They have competed for years, including at the Tokyo Olympics and several world championships."

So, none of that is true. She may have high testosterone (which isn’t even confirmed), but none of what you said follows. That isn’t even how that works.

There is no trans woman in this case. A female boxer, born and raised as a woman, is being attacked and called a man. What OP is saying is that it’s basically because they don’t see her as attractive, and that’s definitely a major component of it.

What it comes down to is that they’re so obsessed with the idea of trans women that they start seeing them everywhere, and it usually comes down to someone not being quite feminine enough in some way, though there have been cases of people trying to claim some of the most conventionally attractive women in the world were secretly trans.

There’s no argument on whether exercise is good for you, it unequivocally is. Exactly how much you really need, and what kinds, and what specific benefits it has are somewhat debated, but the mere fact of it being beneficial is not in question.

Starfleet Academy series is also in production.

I got glasses for the first time about 5 years ago. Since I work on a computer all day, I asked them to add the blue light blocking coating to help reduce eye strain (if you’re not familiar, it looks mostly clear but it has a very mild yellow tint). My frequency of getting migraines while working has dropped significantly.

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the GOP still tries to run Trump even after he’s dead.

I fully agree. In this vein, I also think that Romulans and Vulcans should prefer green-tinted lipstick rather than red. In a few episodes in DS9 they actually did this, but most of the time they just default to red and it really doesn’t feel right.

The game is already out, has been for a few months. It’s on Steam, Windows & Mac only.

The game is built on top of Stellaris, with all of the space empire building that entails. It is sort of in the same vein as Civ, but it’s more real time and not turn based, and lets you get more into the small details in some ways than Civ does.
