I tell it like I see it, sometimes quite bluntly and sometimes quite wrongly. My interfaces are open for reason and learning, but closed to false data.
"I've got binders full of clients..."
Robert absolutely gets it and says it plainly and simply.
My take is that "Christian" nationalists see in Israel a legitimization of what they want for the US. A "golden dome" over a theocratic "Christian" nation. Defend Israel and endorse United States of Gilead.

@IndyRichard seems like either they are dramatically underpaid, or plumbers are way over paid. Or a bit of both I guess.

Facebook has severely restricted the ability of Palestinian news outlets to reach an audience during the Israel-Gaza war, according to BBC research.
In a comprehensive analysis of Facebook data, we found that newsrooms in the Palestinian territories - in Gaza and the West Bank - had suffered a steep drop in audience engagement since October 2023.
Gordon Gecko: "greed is good" Lao-Tzu: "there is no greater disaster than greed" Donald Trump: "Hold my Trump steaks... Make America Greedy Again"
My biggest worry about people becoming obsessed with AI and believing it to be God is that once the corrupt US "christian" cults cotton on they will create their own that is designed to be very controlling and spies on all users so they can be controlled - as the Scientologists do using the recordings of "auditing" sessions.
Unable to mandate use of their AI they might even get a theocratic friend tool like Trump to require ALL AIs have a backdoor they can monitor. The ultimate Big Brother.
I guess Florida got jealous of ICE doing all the fascist kidnapping people off the streets. Sounds like a great way to drive even more tourists away.
Congratulations Zohran Mamdani for winning the Democratic nomination for Mayor of New York City.
@HeavenlyPossum in the long run these "quick, easy, and risk-free military victories" start to look awfully like pyrrhic victories.
For his next act Orange Jesus thinks that assassinating the Ayatollah will how magically transform Iran back to something resembling the pre-revolutionary Iran lead by the CIA installed pro-western dictator, the Shah.
That ain't gonna work and invading will kill pver a million civilians, more Americans than Vietnam, and be as successful as the Iraq debacle.
@dustcircle all I can say it is it is damned hot to walk on in the summer here in Vegas!
@KimPerales if I ever get to the point where I can attend demonstrations without risk to my status I will certainly wear a body cam that does live upload too (so LEO can't seize it and erase incriminating evidence).
People have literally died from rubber bullets to the head or neck, they are by no means non-lethal, just less-lethal.
To protect the President from lightning on Saturday they will be providing him with a complimentary Faraday cage...
My wife traveled into Palestine as part of USAID work shortly before the second intifada broke out. She had all the paperwork and Israel was fully aware of why she was there. Even so as she went to depart from Jerusalem airport she was detained for hours, interrogated, and strip searched.
So I can imagine what they do to people they actually claim are hostile and arrive with their or US blessing.

Worth it!
And get that man with double chin
Who'll always cheat and always win,
Who washes his repulsive skin
In women's tears:
And smash his desk of polished oak
And smash his hands so used to stroke
And stop his boring dirty joke
And make him yell.
Come, friendly bombs and fall on <redacted>
To get it ready for the plough.
The liberation is coming now;
The earth exhales.
88 years later the 1937 poem "Slough" by Sir John Betjeman is almost like it was written for someone else.

Let me give you a clue...
Come friendly bombs and fall on <redacted>!
It isn't fit for humans now,
There isn't grass to graze a cow.
Swarm over, Death!
Come, bombs and blow to smithereens
Those air -conditioned, bright canteens,
Burgers, burgers, burgers, burgers
Tinned minds, tinned breath.

I saw this as a phone notification and I parsed it as "RIP Sly Stallone" - somehow I doubted you'd be posting a RIP for Sylvester Stallone.
What the actual fuck?
