Yeah but no one in the middle east has the power to give Israel an existential threat.
Iran doesn’t want an offensive or escalation because it would be incredibly in favor of Israel who has the latest and greatest in warfare tech and the backing of the USA.
Biden is probably more worried that Israel is going to use Iran’s attack as justification for ramping up his offensive in Gaza, which will hurt his reputation even further.
Iran doesn’t want an offensive or escalation because it would be incredibly in favor of Israel who has the latest and greatest in warfare tech and the backing of the USA.
Even before considering that, Iran does not border Israel and has several semi-hostile nations between it and Israel. Logistically, a full attack is just not possible for them.
Considering how much the tickets cost the few times I was interested in seeing something live, $30,000 worth of tickets isn’t that many tickets. This feels like manufactured outrage to me.
The article goes into that, if you’d bothered to read it.
A freebie worth $590 is well below the $5,500 maximum campaign donation from an individual or business. But gifts like tickets can make a much greater impact, said Daniel Schnur, a government ethics expert and former chair of the Fair Political Practices Commission.
“If I send money to a legislator’s campaign account, I get a thank you note. If I attend a reception, I get a handshake. If I take them out to lunch or dinner, I get a conversation,” Schnur said. “But if I get them tickets for a concert or a basketball game, I now have a friend who takes my phone calls.”
There was a Nazi rally/anti-protest in my city like a year or so ago and all the LGBTQ+ people (including my sister and I) showed up to protest their bullshit with 3 times as many people and shut that shit down hard.
But it still pisses me off the city allowed those pricks to even gather in the first place.

First Amendment basically means the government can’t bar people from rallying or protesting based on what beliefs they are doing so in the name of. Same reason why there are no hate speech laws, and why basically the only expression that is inherently criminal is expression that requires doing another crime to create (think child pornography, as you can’t make it without sexually abusing children).
Vance needled Harris on Monday for not being more accessible to reporters herself.
“This moment could set off a real economic calamity around the globe,” he wrote on X. “It requires steady leadership—the kind President Trump delivered for four years. Kamala Harris is too afraid to answer media questions and cannot lead us in these troubled times.”
Things are dire! We need leadership! Why isn’t the vice president giving press conferences?
Member that time she was all “He’p me MAGA! I gotsa defend tha grate Donnal J Traump in courtses!” and they donated a couple hundred thousand to her - then she pled guilty like two days later?

I would be very surprised if they didn’t have a hotel intranet for various administrative functions, especially with an attached convention center, and probably one with an external pipe to some central server that the corporation uses.
