Congress can find someone in contempt
Remind me which party controls Congress?
they can direct US Marshalls to round up anyone who tries to run off.
The United States Marshals Service is part of the executive branch, not controlled by Congress. Remind me which party controls the executive branch?
what else can the palestinian people do other than fight back?
Hamas’ goal is to kill or kick out all the Jews from the Israel/Palestine. There were a number peace plans which were rejected by the Palestinians, because they could not accept Israel existing in any form.
There are all kinds of real problems here, real suffering for Palestinians. But the problem here is that if Hamas Palestinians feel like they have the right to “fight back” will all means to do a genocide on Israel, then it can’t be right. And giving concessions to Hamas while this is the goal (and Hamas is shooting unguided rockets in the general direction of Israeli civilians), is obviously a non-starter. Hence even before October 7, it was really hard to morally argue for lifting sanctions on Gaza.
You do not always have a moral right to “fight back”. It depends on your goal. And being weak does not make you morally right.
“uhm actsjually both sides bad”
I did actually say that Israel’s initial invasion of Gaza was legally and morally justified…
I don’t feel like I am just saying “both sides bad”. I point out specific actions to be good or bad.
also. I support hamas.
Ah, you are OK with terrorism. This is my total lack of surprise.
Do you even know what a logical argument is?
it’s allegations.
So are the current allegations against Israel, right?
To be more than allegations, there would have to be a ICC judgement in either case, I think?
As the power imbalance is laughably.
Just because you are laughably weak, it does not mean you can’t do evil.
Who plays a game that’s obviously rigged against them?
The market is not just a casino. There are actually people who use oil who buy oil futures. Exiting the “game” would mean not buying or using oil in America, for them.
claming the attack on the 7. was a genocide is laughably false.
I linked a source (Well, a wiki article which itself link sources). You spew bullshit.
Israels actions now do qualify as genocide - because Trump told Bibi to do whatever. But didn’t actually qualify as genocide back when Biden was President.
Remember that the current Gaza crisis started when Gaza did a genocide against Israel, on October 7. Israel certainly had a legal right to enter Gaza, to get their hostages back.
So you have an average normal politician running against literally Hitler. And people vote for literally Hitler.
And you don’t think the problem is the people voting for literally Hitler?
Don’t get me wrong, the US voting system is also bad. But that is really, really not the main problem here…
That is like saying that because nobody dies from measles, it is mathematically ignorant to support vaccines.
Yes, the Republicans haven’t won an election because of third party voters since Nader handed the win to Bush in 2000. But that is because people have been smart enough since then to not throw their vote away. Burned by fire.
[Harris] still would’ve lost.
That is probably the stupidest argument I have heard this week. And I have heard a lot of stupid arguments.
Harris didn’t dance naked through Washington wearing only a clown nose, but Harris still would’ve lost if she did that. By your argument, there is no reason for politicians not to dance naked through Washington wearing only a clown nose…
Capitol Police
And remind me, which party is currently in control of Congress, to order the Capitol Police to take this unprecedented action?
But isn’t it the DoJ who would have to bring the indictment leading to the arrest?
was never rooted in principle.
Republicans have no principles. Ask them in 2024 if they would support Biden going to war with Iran, and they would laugh in your face. But in a March 25 poll 79% of Republicans approved of Trump’s current actions.
Republicans just repeat the last thing they heard on Fox News.
LLMs don’t have any intentions.
Eh. The output from LLMs is usually pretty goal-oriented, so it arguably has intentions.
The LLM is not designed to deceive though, so in that sense it is correct that it is not lies.
First past the post creating a two party system is a result of math. You might as well complain about Pi would be easier to remember if Pi=3.0 . Math doesn’t care about your feelings.
Orban already won the previous N elections using fuckery. The test has already shown that this kind of managed democracy can “work” for fascists.
But there is some support from USA at this moment, right?
Limited. There are 1) some sanctions on Russia 2) intelligence support (which Trump has withheld intermittently) and 3) allowing European countries to pay for US weapons to be sent to Ukraine. 4) Maybe I forgot something.
If the US completely stopped supporting Ukraine tomorrow it would be suboptimal, but wouldn’t really change the situation fundamentally. If the EU stopped tomorrow, Ukraine would be completely fucked, and Russia would win within 6 months.
Europe seems perfectly happy to fight Putin alone, right now. Europe might lose, but Europe still tries to do what is right there.
Why would Trump care about the US government paying Iran money? It is not Trump’s money.
As long as the billionaire-owned Trump supporting media in the US doesn’t make a big deal out of it, why would it have negative consequences for Trump? While not completely analogous, Trump seems to have gotten away just fine with giving Argentina $billions.
