I think boomers are also a bit more unconditionally supportive of the state of Israel for some reason as well. Perhaps (and this is my speculation) they were more propagandized than younger people whom have better access to global communication and cultural exchange, and were therefore more Arabophobic on average.
Also, Israel is the US’s military foothold in the middle east, so it’s there as power projection to the oil-rich countries in the vicinity.
Perhaps this is true but if he leaves office, the genocide will continue apace. It may ebb but it will always be center to Israel’s project. There is a lot of internal conflict in Israel and fascism is boiling over.
Unfortunately, that’s all we got. There’s not a cure all for this one. So, like cancer, cut away the bad parts, apply some chemo, and pray it doesn’t come back.
4/5 cops are good people. We don’t have an answer for smashing all the bad ones at once.
No. They’re not. If they were, they’d be stopping this themselves. This guy shot her. What about the other officers that were there? At least one other is mentioned in the article. Why didn’t they immediately draw on him and stop him from attacking this woman?
Every time we hear about one of these bad cops, there’s other cops just standing around doing nothing at best, and helping at worst.
No ‘good people’ are cops. If they were good people when they went in, they either get fired, get mysteriously dead on the job, or stop being good. There are no other options.
cops that don’t speak up against their coworkers are complete shit as well. when you hang out with turds, you tend to smell like shit. looking the other way while your coworker abuses people is you being an accessory. there is no way there weren’t signs this guy was trash and his coworkers covered it, they’re just as guilty, which is why ALL cops are bastards, otherwise they wouldn’t be cops after seeing the corruption and abuse. fuck cops and cop mentality.
Cops are the people suffling "the bad ones"around, they’re the ones creating places for bad cops to flourish in. You don’t help this guy keep his job and remain a good person.
The Harris campaign is still vetting candidates and has not made its pick yet. Still, according to electionbettingodds.com, which averages online betting sites, Kelly has a 34.9 percent chance of being the presumptive nominee’s vice-presidential pick.
Jfc. Taking the odds from an aggregate of betting websites and using that as a verified source seems crazy to me.
It’s not. People aren’t just coming into the bet as neutral computational machines trying to maximize odds. They’re betting on people they like. Some are spending money to intentionally warp the odds. The only population control is people with money willing to risk it in a process with <1.0 expected return. That’s a subpopulation already known for making bad choices.
I mean, it’s the closest thing you have to a futures market, and if you assume that markets are efficient, you can extract information there – people do use those.
They're not using it as a "verified source", except in that they're saying "this is the source."
It's actually not a bad approach. Prediction markets (which betting sites are just a form of) are often very good at reflecting what the current well-informed belief on a subject is, because people who make bets on ill-informed beliefs quickly end up not having money any more and thus not betting any more. It's just important to bear in mind that it's not literally saying "this is what's going to happen," it's saying "this is what well-informed people currently believe is going to happen based on current information."
So in the scenario that he is the VP and they win, a democrat would be appointed to the senate, but instead of the seat being up in 2028 in a presidental general election year the seat would be up in an off election year with a democratic president (2026). I’m not sure this is wise in terms of keeping the senate.
