The law should still apply equally to every company, shouldn't it?

That's because they like the idea of a Trump dictatorship. They simply assume they'd be on the side that's going to do the dictating.

You're spelling out how they're acting like a neutral party here.

Qatar is knowingly and willingly hosting the leadership of a terrorist organization that mass murders innocent civilians - both Israelis and Palestinians. Hamas leaders live in luxury in Qatar, they have billions of dollars stashed away.

That makes Qatar about as "neutral" about Hamas as the Taliban were "neutral" about al Qaeda.

It's a destitute open air prison. Come on now.

You act like I'm debating that, or like I'm taking sides.

I'm not.

I'm just pointing out that a totalitarian regime - a regime that tolerates no dissent, that enforces strict religious laws, that suppresses women, that has the death penalty for homosexuality, that openly uses slave labor - isn't some kind of neutral party if it has a vested interest in Gaza and has been openly supporting Hamas for decades.

I don't blindly trust their reporting.

That's all I'm asking for.

The hostage deal was negotiated by Qatar, the Hamas leadership is living in luxury in Qatar, Qatar is seeking to gain more influence in the future of Gaza.

Is this really the right moment to blindly trust the Qatar state owned news source with its reporting about a Qatar negotiated deal related to a conflict that Qatar has a vested interest in?

Winamp wasn't a Google project.

As mentioned in the article.

Except that in this case, the UN is explicitly saying that the numbers they're quoting cannot be verified and they're merely cutting the numbers Hamas is giving them.

So the question is: if the IDF cannot be trusted, why should we trust the terrorists?

Funny, given how much people hated ENT at the time. It was a good show, but the CGI has aged poorly.

"I'm sorry that I didn't know there was video evidence."

It's insane how much these people make Trump part of their identity.

I remember when these people would taunt liberals by sarcastically referring to Obama as "the Messiah." Turns out that was just projection, too.

Just as an example, look at insurance companies leaving Florida because of climate change associated risks, and how right-wingers are blaming this on "wokeism" instead of acknowledging climate change.
