Old, large, cranky. Gotta go to the bathroom.
Also, that picture isn’t me.

Biden then said, “And what happened was, Barack said to me, ‘Go to Detroit, and help fix it.’" This is way too deep in the nettles for me to remember or even google; do you have any idea whether that trip to Detroit was about the pandemic, or (like TBD seems to think) about the recession?
Astonishingly, the attacks of 9/11 had little effect on the Saudi approach to religious extremism, as diplomats and intelligence officials have attested. What finally changed royal minds was the experience of suffering an attack on Saudi soil. In May 2003, gunmen and suicide bombers struck three residential compounds in Riyadh, killing 39 people. The authorities attributed the attacks to al-Qaeda, and cooperation with the U.S. improved quickly and dramatically.
Suspicion: The attack was actually planned and/or executed by the CIA or some US agency you’ve never heard of. RIP, 39 people, but America got the policy cooperation it wanted.
Do they not teach government and civics in schools any more?
No, they do not. In most American school districts, civics classes are no longer part of the curriculum.
OMG, man, until you made me look closer I thought it was three photos of the same guy.
Are we supposed to believe the US hasn’t already been sharing intel with Israel, like, since 1948?
Exactly the truth. Let’s abandon empty labels like ‘pro’ and ‘anti’ Palestine and Israel, and tell the truth. One side is pro-genocide, one side is anti-genocide, and an embarrassingly huge number of people are undecided.
‘Counterprotestors’ seems absolutely and obviously the wrong word.
The AP’s shitty coverage doesn’t even mention that the undercover cop who got severely beaten is black.
Cops beat a black undercover cop at a protest, because he was (a) black and (b) at a protest. Of course, cops routinely beat protesters, especially black protesters, but everyone who’s beaten doesn’t get a fat payout like this. Only cops, and only if they sue.
Nothing Al Gore says is of any importance. Vote.
Sneering is rude, and I try to be polite. But those voters, those souls are lost and cannot be reached. Our survival depends on getting sane voters to vote.
This is barely news; the headline might as well be ‘Hate group hates’. But jeez, I giggled at the start of the fourth paragraph with, “In its most eagerly anticipated section…” Even among Christians, even among very-very-Christians, is there anyone who “eagerly anticipates” the Vatican’s declarations of doctrine?
Welcome to the new Newsweek. It’s shit so consistently, I no longer click.
You will have no further chance to tell me of your lord and savior’s love.
Much more likely explanation: He was lying when he made the ‘pledge’.

If the school does nothing, it’s very much in the public interest to prosecute.
And as always always always happens in cases like this, there’s no indication that the officers involved were disciplined in any way.
