  • Expressing the vague potential to confront a far-right Israeli government isn’t going to lose her any Democratic votes

    No, but it would cost her millions in donations and support from Zionist lobbies. It would also push those same lobbies to more heavily donate and support the GOP. Not to mention the millions that would be at stake from weapons manufacturing lobbies who would see any wavering on Israel support as potential to lose one of their biggest buyer. All that lost money would lead to a loss in votes.

    The world is complicated and a tangled mess.





  • Best thing to do is make a ton of infused coconut oil. Buy yourself a big tub of the stuff and heat it in a double boiler, drop in hash and let simmer for an hour or two. The stuff will keep forever and you can use it in place of butter or cooking oil to make all kinds of dishes, usually baked goods are best, but feel free to experiment.








  • I mean… I kind of get it. The personal item happened to be a fucking gun. One with moving parts that will fire bullets if the wrong part moves. Your phone will not fire bullets. Seems kind of prudent to stop the machine with spinning magnets and wildly fluctuating magnetic fields from operating near a rifle that may cause it to fire.

    I guaran-fucking-tee you that if they hadn’t shut it off, and the machine caused the firing pin to trip resulting in a bullet being fired and hitting someone, people would be saying “what stupid cops let the gun just sit there when they could have hit the emergency stop switch!”

    However, the main issue is the rifle never should have fucking been there in the first place!



  • Paradox of Tolerance. A truly 100% tolerant society can not exist as it will quickly fall prey to intolerant groups that they are forced to tolerate. People don’t seem to understand that concept and think if we just be nice the bad guys will go away. It doesn’t work like that. Any school kid can tell you that ignoring or trying to befriend a bully rarely works. The only thing that works is fighting back.
