So your point is that no one should criticize the United State despite the truth being ambiguous. Makes sense.

Maybe you should familiarize yourself with why the International Court Justice ruled that Israel was plausibly committing a genocide. Perhaps that would clear some things up for you

Try these then, the first video is short. Finkelstein is an expert on this issue, and his family was exterminated in the holocaust, except for his parents

You're refusing to answer the question:

What does Biden specifically want re: Gaza?

I genuinely don't know what we're supposed to do. We can't all move to Denmark. So whats the solution? Fight and die in some sort of revolution that will never come?

Yeah but this allows them to be cruel to liberals. Which is an even bigger win than weed

They believe they should be able to do whatever they want, and the law should protect them. They make small government or large government arguments as necessary to achieve that goal. There is no integrity here, so we shouldn't look for it. And we shouldn't act like pointing out their hypocrisy is productive or will persuade them - they're aware of their contradictions and they don't care

Yes, but they are correct. Cannabis is a schedule 1 drug at the federal level, same as heroin.

There is nothing legally preventing the federal government from arresting everyone in every state who possesses or sells cannabis. It isn't relevant that cannabis is legal recreationally or medically at the state level in most of the country

We're just hoping that the federal government continues its discretionary policy of looking the other way. But, much like Roe, uncodified rights have a recent habit of disappearing overnight

Their point is that the broadened law does not appear to clearly and obviously cover men being raped by women.

For instance, is it rape under this new law for a woman to forcibly use her hand to jerk off a man without his consent? If not, then shouldn't it be?

Shouldn't the law state that forcible and nonconsensual contact with a penis is a crime?

That makes sense. Pretty similar to rain on your wedding day as well

They're genuinely not a strong team this year. They have no passcatchers outside of Kelce and their rb is a 7th rounder. Obviously Mahomes is good, but that's about it. They're the weakest they've been since this dynasty began, which is partially because they've had weak draft picks from all of their recent success.

So it strains credulity a bit that they're in the super bowl again given this team. San Francisco should destroy them without much of an issue - we'll see if that's in the script though

Depends how bad the other monster was, I suppose.

Becoming Tony Soprano as a means of stopping Sauron, for instance, would likely be worth it.

Here, the combined intelligence agencies of the West appear to think that Trump is an existential threat to Western civilization. If they're correct about that then I guess that justifies rigging the Super Bowl. Especially when you consider that there are significantly worse things (Gaza Genocide) going on right now. To say nothing of the bad things that they/we did in the past
