11·1 month agoI know it’s not the point, but it’s weird to call things “9/11 scale attacks” when you consider how many buildings were leveled in Gaza.
Your analogy requires a powerful faction of people in Poland directly shooting rockets at Russian-occupied Ukraine. Still a significant event, but this descent continually shows the problem with analogies.

what’s easier? Convincing everyone you know to download signal or whatsapp or matrix or whatever or
having that built into the text app[convincing everyone to buy the same phone].FTFY
When presented this way, the choice is very different.
I wish all the people on the left who think Hillary were going to get picked were gamblers. You could stand to make a lot of money off of them being wrong.
there were enough checks on his power that he mostly managed to simply be incompetent and chaotic
There were no real checks. He had way too many Republicans in Congress for there to be. Most of what protects America is gentleman’s agreements that we all assume a normal president wouldn’t defy.
If the leader of the FBI attempts to investigate him again, they could just hire a new one who won’t.
That is literally what happened last time. The house (where Republicans are a majority) wouldn’t pass a bill that makes firing the FBI director illegal so there’s no real difference.
It’s a spoiler for the movie, so I’m tagging it.

Predestination. The story is a bit more complicated, but it’s a very similar idea.
I’ve seen a movie where this is basically the plot.
I’m asking if you believe no other president would support Israel more than Biden. US president? I don’t believe that. Israel doesn’t believe that. You might. There’s a lot of potential presidents in America.
Your own quote: “[Netanyahu] can’t get that loyalty from any other US president”
Do you actually believe that statement to be true?
I don’t think this is exclusive to right wing populists.
He’s simply congratulating the side he supports. Biden showed support for the Iranian protesters.
And before someone responds “um actually, Biden is as right wing as Clarence Thomas,” Bernie Sanders showed support for the Iranian protesters too.
You’d be hard pressed to find someone to the left of Bernie Sanders who doesn’t support Iranians protesting the right to not be killed for wearing a hijab improperly.
I wrote it because it was relevant to the discussion.
They tried to restore the Pyramid of Menkaure by adding granite stones to the exterior, but they stopped because of social media pushback.

The picture’s not too clear, but I bet there aren’t a lot of famous people that are best friends with a bear.
He looks white to me. White people can be terrorists too.
He appears to have been radicalized. This other source shows his message that he posted to other people before the attack.
“Peace be upon the Messenger of God. May his peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you,” he wrote in Arabic.
“Brothers please forgive me for any time I have wronged you, I am going in the path of jihad tonight for the sake of Allah Azzawajal,” he then continued in English.
"I am a soldier of the Mujahideen of Al-Qaeda and take responsibility for the actions …
“If you have any illegal or jihadi things online or in real life please make sure to hide them.”
You just got downvoted for correctly realizing that terrorism is literally a noun. Strange times.
At least it has an end.
