And the new last gasp of neocons is to respond to the viral push of the Osama Bin Laden "Letter to America" and try and tie it to the MAGA/Tucker wing of the party because when people get tired of sending Israel billions yet we can't have 3 billion for a wall, they have to go back to "you just want the terrorists to win."

You know, if someone from the future told me that the entire politics in 2020 were going to be a speedrun mishmash of the mid 70's-mid 2000's, I would have laughed it off as crazy talk

Yet here we are, as history is constantly repeating itself in unique and interesting ways from 1975 saigon vietnam comparisons to bush jr 9/11 scare tactics.

It all depends on how you interpret the Book of Revelation and if it's literal, metaphorical, allegorical, or some mix of all.

The people who are literalist with it should read it sometime. Revelation level happenings would be pretty obvious if it was meant to be taken as a literal account of the end times.

If you watch the interview with Putin. He says the main issue with the US isn't US Presidents. It's that the bureaucracy ultimately has the final say. Which is why they didn't tell Trump about Syria. Which is why Pelosi asked Milley for the Nuclear football. Which is why 6th of January had to be organized.

I still genuinely believe you're a well-to-do midwestern man living a completely alternate life as a CCP agent on the internet.

It's beautiful.

Being openly pro Palestine won’t get much support at federal level, and no US president, Democrat or Republican, will win the presidency being pro Palestine. For decades, the US has consistently been pro Israel. The approach towards Israel could differ based on president, but the support will stay.

I agree. The only way we’re going to see a rollback in support for Israel is after they demolish the mosque in the way and finally build the third fucking temple. Christian support for Israel is definitely rooted in Revelations.

Maybe it’s a cruel irony, maybe it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy but this 2000 year old book is dictating our modern foreign policy.

Gov. Kathy Hochul signs ‘Clean Slate Act,’ sealing criminal records for employment, housing applications
1 second of 36 secondsVolume 0%

Some convicted criminals in New York will now have their records sealed when applying for jobs and filling out housing applications, after Gov. Kathy Hochul signed the controversial new “Clean Slate Act” in a ceremony Thursday.

The governor hailed the progressive legislation as a way to get more ex-cons in the work force — despite opposition from some police groups and law-and-order conservatives.

“My number one job as the New York State Governor is to keep people safe, Hochul said. “And I believe that the best anti-crime tool we have is a job when people have steady work.”

The legislation seals eligible misdemeanor records after three years and certain felony records after eight years after their sentence is complete as long as the offender doesn’t commit another crime during that time.

Charges eligible to be sealed include misdemeanors such as disorderly conduct, larceny and vandalism as well as non-violent felonies like money laundering, insurance fraud and compelling prostitution.

Crimes designated as class A felonies like murder, predatory sexual assault, terrorism, arson and kidnapping would not be eligible to be sealed. That excludes class A felonies for drug possession.

Law enforcement and courts will continue to have full access to records as would any employer that can currently conduct fingerprinting as part of a job application like schools and day cares.

“What Clean Slate does is give everyone the opportunity to be a safe and productive member of their community,” one of the bill’s sponsors, state Senator Zellnor Myrie said. “Help is on the way.”

The legislation takes effect one year from the bill signing, at which point the office of court administration will begin the clock for automatically sealing the eligible offenses as soon as someone finishes their sentence. The courts will have until 2027 to go back and seal old records that apply.

Republicans have blasted the legislation, saying it hurts victims and takes away a power that judges already had the ability to do on their own accord.

“The Clean Slate Act represents the latest step in the wrong direction,” Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay wrote in a statement. “This is yet another pro-criminal, misguided policy from the people intent on dismantling law and order and removing individual accountability.”

Some law enforcement officials also railed against Clean Slate, saying the measures fall in line with the state’s revisions to bail laws.

“I think there’s a force magnifier, when you have law after law, that emboldens criminals, law and the law that tells criminals, they are not accountable for their actions,” Suffolk County PBA President Lou Civello said. “I think it certainly demoralizes your law enforcement officers, those of us that are out there risking our lives to make this a safer place to live.”

Some business groups threw their support behind Clean Slate on the premise it will provide the state with an economic boost by removing a barrier making it easier for people to work.

JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon threw his support behind the measures.

A group of labor unions including Local 338 RWDSU/UFCW, 1199 SEIU, District Council 37, Laborers’ Local 79, and the New York State Nurses Association also penned a letter supporting Clean Slate earlier this year.

“Not only will this legislation make a significant and positive change in the lives of millions of New Yorkers currently held back from accessing vital employment, housing and other opportunities due to a past conviction record, it will combat poverty and promote labor equity and economic justice statewide,” the unions wrote.

The bill passed through the legislature at the end of its session earlier this year after lawmakers made some concessions including dropping some felony offenses from those eligible and pushing back the timeline on when records can be sealed.
