It does if you are a white person working for a Republican, as Brianna Wu was at the time.
TBH, that is just a mainstream centrist position now. https://x.com/HotSpotHotSpot/status/1842955890179313902

The follow up tweet is quite good;
Joe Biden has stood up to everyone who threatened this great nation, from Vladimir Putin to Anita Hill. And he supports women and minorities, based on that seemingly random lady he chose to be his vice president.

The play is getting Russia to take a part of Ukraine for itself in exchange for NATO membership for Ukraine. As a kind of buffer zone for Russia. Obviously, the US would gladly give up whatever part of Ukraine and at least half of the Ukrainian population in exchange for encircling Russia more.
They are gambling that Putin would take territory, since the average Russian would see it as a much bigger win than the usual boring geopolitics manoeuvring. They can put Ukraine into NATO if Ukraine loses and Russia agrees to it, the US would control Ukraine completely if that happened.

That was the premise of the first UA-RUS deal that was close to being signed very early on into the war, but NATO sent Boris Johnson to tell Ukraine that they aren't allowed to negotiate.

FP article on Ukraine is quite funny. Russia wants to leave captured territory in exchange for Ukraine being neutral, the US wants to offer Russia territory in order to get Ukraine into NATO - https://archive.is/Ylpt9#selection-4797.0-2364.61
“Land for [Nato] membership is the only game in town, everyone knows it,” says one senior western official. “Nobody will say it out loud . . . but it’s the only strategy on the table.”

I clicked on some of the main subreddits and the libs are insanely mad because "this might cause Kamala to lose the election". Of course, when people respond with "would you support this strike if it was happening after the election" and they libs still said no anyway lol.

It will be a limited ground incursion, in the sense that Israel will completely blanket the area with bombs before doing anything on the ground. And they can do it forever, since the US will just give them more bombs.

I'm not reading much into this, it is just funny how the modern MSNBC brain is literally the same as modern Fox News brain, but Fox News viewers are just a bit too old and lazy to try and shoot Biden/Harris. https://x.com/ChiefTrumpster/status/1835494617728340408

At least the top replies did say he is being a creep, followed by a bunch of bluecheck spam. That shit has made Twitter so much worse.

"How about if your name is Israel or the US, you get to do war crimes. So, what is your country called? Israel? CONGRATULATIONS"
This would give the state immense power to ban any kind of non-profit organization that they don't agree with. Even if they don't go after all the left-wing organizations, that threat hanging above their heads would seriously limit the scope of their mission and most would probably be forced to remain very small and unnoticed. Obviously this violates the 1st Amendment, but I doubt that the government or the SCOTUS would see it that way. __The House already passed it with overwhelming bipartisan support!!__ >I'm talking here about a bipartisan legislation the House passed last week (382-11) & that was intro'd last week in the Senate -- HR 6408 & S. 1436 >Reminder: US charitable organizations — like ALL US entities — are already barred, by law, from providing material support for terror & already face intense scrutiny. >The goal of the new legislation is to dispense with the due process (incl the need for evidence) afforded under law to targeted groups, empowering a single US official to act as prosecutor, judge, jury, & executioner of US orgs whose viewpoints that official disagrees with. https://twitter.com/LaraFriedmanDC/status/1783129420598837506
tldr: In 2002 and 2003 combined, there were 9 terror attacks with 23 casualties across all of Africa. After the US war on terror campaign in Africa, things are now much much worse. And it looks like this stat doesn't include numbers from direct US acts of terror, like the destruction of Libya in 2011. There are US empire supporters who will say that this is OK since this is the result of US trying to own the region that rightfully the US should own, but a lot of this is also the US military trying out new weapons, tactics, strategies and just having *fun* in their own way.

Kind of sad that we didn't see any direct confrontation between Ron and Donald. At least we will get to laugh when he has to endorse Trump.
I am a good person as long as I sometimes make vague feel-good statements and watch a Netflix documentary about problems with the US criminal justice system. My actions are completely disconnected from my morals and my character, it is the vague gestures that actually define me. And if left-wingers point at my actions, then they are actually the bad people, because I can see them being personally mean to me right now.

>The BLS should fire everyone involved in their insurance calculations. They're completely broken. According to CPI data insurance is cheaper now than it was in 2019 which is ludicrous. But that's the official CPI data you see in the news! https://twitter.com/EricLevitz/status/1729540178576912499 - >So, it seems that the CPI insurance price measure is fairly idiosyncratic and does not reflect what consumers actually pay for coverage. Which helps explain the discrepancy between this figure and the trajectory of my own premiums https://twitter.com/EricLevitz/status/1729572454333378973 - >**Last CPI reading showed insurance costs -34% YoY when they are actually something like +7%.

How shocking! By the time we "figure out" this actually was Israel, dozens of other hospitals will already have been bombed and everyone (media, libs, conservatives) will have moved on anyway. "Oh, that is old news, who cares"
