So let me get this straight. The government that supposedly represents the most famous victims of ethno-nationalist violence in the 20th century grows up to become the most famous perpetrator of it in the 21st century? And one of their allies who helped defeat the original villains is now facilitating this new villainy? And because of our shared inability to admit this horrible irony we might just have a THIRD world war? Am I getting that straight?

I have a child and I’d be the first to recommend not having one. It’s expensive, it wrecked me emotionally and physically, and I worry every day about what kind of world my kid will grow up into.
But all those things are worth it in the end to me because I really wanted to be a parent. My kid is an absolute treasure to me and I put up with the suffering because I do genuinely love parenting and love seeing him grow up. If I was any less enthusiastic about the process going in, I would have either run away or killed myself by now. That’s how demoralizing and traumatic parenting can be. Granted I have a special needs kid but so do probably 10% of parents so do you want to roll those dice?
All that aside, the fact is that parenting these days is filled with societal obstacles. With both parents working, you’re rationing sick days and constantly running out, leaving no time for vacation or personal days off. This leaves the option of either taking unpaid days off or reducing one’s working hours. Since no one is home doing housework all day, working parents spend their evenings and nights doing housework. If you need to run an errand or take the kid to a doctor’s appointment, that comes out of either your paid work time or your free time. Childcare is both expensive and hard to get, with wait-lists for daycares in some cities of several months. And once your kid is in public school, you have to find after school care, which is not guaranteed for every kid at every school.
And don’t even get me started about summer. Three months of cobbled-together summer camps and asking/begging family members and friends to watch your kid when their busy schedules permit. If your kid has special needs or requires trained caregivers, you are out of luck.
These are fixable problems, but they require massive government-subsidized investment in childcare and parental leave structures and the government is not doing that. Childcare salaries are so low that the supply of daycare teachers is basically dried up. Same with public school teachers and afterschool caregivers. Why work as an afterschool teacher when you can be an independent nanny and make twice as much per hour? As for parental leave, there is no requirement that parental leave cover anything beyond the bare bones of the time needed to give birth, leaving most new parents to burn through their entire year’s worth of sick time during their babies first month of life when there is a doctor’s appointment just about every week. Then blow through it again next year when the kid gets sick twice a month in daycare. My kid is six years old and this is the first year I haven’t run out of sick days before June.
Our society was designed for families with at least one full-time caregiver, and now that is basically impossible but the system has not been updated. This game is not designed for us. So why would anyone choose to play?
They can’t even follow the special rules they made for their special court. One wonders why they don’t just take KSM behind the woodshed since the outcome is obviously the point of the process.
When you see what a kangaroo court the US Military runs, remember that millions of Arab residents of the occupied territories are under military jurisdiction while their colonizing neighbors enjoy rights under civilian justice. Israel is the only country in the world who’s military runs juvenile courts.
Let’s see, there’s a threat because why? Oh, Israel won’t respect the sovereignty of other nations? How we let them get away with this shit blows my mind.
Fox Moderator: “Vice President Harris, how would you respond to the accusation that your administration was responsible for the supply-chain crisis, grocery price inflation, massive corporate layoffs, Texas power outages, the summer heat wave, and the border apocalypse?”
Harris: “What? Now wait…”
Fox Moderator: “President Trump. They say you have the best golf record of any president in history. How did you accomplish this historic feat?”
“GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. (AP) — The body of a North Carolina man who fell 400 feet (122 meters) near a scenic viewpoint on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park has been recovered, authorities said Thursday.
Park rangers said they received a report about a park visitor falling from the Pipe Creek Vista around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. They said the body of Abel Joseph Mejia, 20, of Hickory, was later recovered about a quarter-mile from the overlook.”
OP’s article states the victim hasn’t been identified yet, so I’m wondering if there were two deaths.
Not a huge deal. I just live in NC & the other story hit our headlines this morning.
The same poeple who wanted to ban having anyone else pay off kids school lunch debt, besides the parents, are the same people who get offended when we aren’t popping out kids. The same poeple who want zero maternity leave and zero prenatal support act like we are the worst of the worst. Don’t have children you can’t afford, no state welfare for you! So when we were like okay we won’t have kids they are all shocked Pikachu face.
Yes, the network that had to pay nearly a billion dollars for pushing a false narrative in order to get Trump elected the last time around is the perfect venue. Oh, and a live Fox News audience? What could be bad about that?
This guy sounds like a shitstain that needs to go away for a long time.
Now let’s talk about this:
Christopher Rodriguez also bombed a sculpture of communist leaders Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong in a courtyard outside the Texas Public Radio building in San Antonio, Texas, in 2022,
WTF? Why is there a statue of these monsters outside of a public radio station?
