Fun fact: It takes a Russian soldier an average of 4.5 hours to remove all of the cellophane from one Chinese golf cart.

So... Alabama admits they are completely incapable of processing voter registration applications? They processed these applications from non-citizens, registered them to vote in their system and issued voter registration cards to them. And now they are admitting their complete ineptitude at the very last minute.

And in a second phase of astonishing ineptitude, Alabama is now purging citizens who are legally permitted to vote. It really sounds like they need some compulsory federal oversight in their voter registration process!

Conservatives are just not good at governing.

Agreed! (Emphasis on the "greed")

Do you have a source for this?

My understanding is the primary trade between the U.S and Israel is diamonds. We each export over $1B worth of diamonds and also each import over $1B worth of diamonds between one another. In the past year, the U.S. imported about half a billion dollars more from Israel than it exported to Israel (again mostly diamonds in both directions).

The diamond trade between our countries does not justify our participation in unnecessary wars (or genocides) in my opinion. It seems unlikely to be the reason we are so committed to this relationship. I think AIPAC's financial involvement in our elections represents a much bigger reason we support Israel.

Sheesh! Thanks, Obama!

To be fair, they told him about this in dozens of briefings, but he was always distracted by his Happy Meal toy.

Typical GOP publicity stunt to build a conservative fanbase. He must be planning to run for office.

Is there a hot hole he won't touch?

And just like that... berries became "woke". That's good, though. More for me!

And why not? He has virtually unlimited U.S. weapons as well as bi-partisan support from U.S. politicians. It's as though we're just setting our attack dog loose on everyone.

It's fucking astonishing that we have any relationship with Israel at all these days. The U.S. gets absolutely nothing out of this one-sided relationship.

Israel offers us:

-No unique strategic military position (we have that area covered already).

-No high-value industrial benefits (no natural resources or unique trade).

-No military arsenal or manpower support (their arsenal comes from us and their personnel is quite limited).

It's time to let them make friends with their neighbors on their own. They don't need us to do that and we sure as fuck don't need them.

What percentage of a population must suffer under right-wing leadership before that population rises up and corrects the problem by force? Is some type of uprising likely to form here?

Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Conservatives have been society's liars throughout all of human civilization. Nothing good in the history of mankind has ever come from conservatism. Nothing at all.
