Everything? Not even close lol. Blackmailing? Israel has never threatened to give them everything if we forsake the Chosen, it's self-evident that they'd do it because why not? Keep that kike kvetchin goin

Awww look a kike kvetcher is being sullen and sarcastic

They've given us plenty of their tech that has been very valuable. The chair force helmets with the super advanced HUDs and the software that makes them work, Israeli. Basically all our military drone tech and many of the parts, made in Israel. A lot of missile/drone defense tech is, you guessed it, Israeli. The targeting systems on our attack helicopters, Israeli. Most of our night-vision gear, Israeli. The reactive armor tech for our vehicles, Israeli. Infantry targeting laser range finders, Israeli. Active defense system for our APCs against light missiles and rockets, Israeli. Active protection system on our Abrams, Bradleys, and Strykers, Israeli. The Litening targeting pod that basically every US fighter has (except the F-35 and F-22), plus the A-10 and B-52, that greatly increases their target acquistion range and accuracy, Israeli

It's cute you think it's a one-way street. They give muchly value back for our friendship

The people who stole nuclear secrets from us, Israel. The people who stole nuclear materials from us, Israel. Our relationship with them should have ended there and then.

Apparently Republicans can't handle Trump's "insanity" and the latter is being placed under pressure.

Ah geez, Rick, are liberals still wheeling out people who larp as military conservatives only to have them speak liberal talking points in a hope we see military guy and go "semper fi brother, I believe you because you look like me!"

It's like a fire losing air or material to continue burning, with how low profile Trump's been for the past few weeks, maybe they'll just shrivel up. Even their Hegseth offensive has stalled, they haven't even tried to go after Trump cologne.

I think this is correct. The crime Chauvin was guilty of was being negligent while having custody of a man in distress. Basically any attempt to render aid according to police procedure (even if it proved to be futile) would have ameliorated the entire situation. There was a performative "fuck you" element to they way Chauvin detained Floyd which was probably enhanced by the presence of the hostile crowd, but I don't think he intended to harm Floyd.

Frankly, that's on EMS. A good cop should know that, but any EMT needs to know how to handle that job.

Granted, cops and Naloxone administration have changed since 2020. They now Narcan anybody who can't perform calculus on the spot. Overcorrection.

Good morning, USPG. I bring some interesting headlines for your reading leisure (or displeasure), along with my own editorializing. Both ABC News and CNN splattered their front pages with articles about the UnitedHealthcare killer. Fox News has an article about Daniel Penny on their front page, but the rest is about Luigi Mangione. As I am only interested in politics, I bring you articles from The Hill and - surprisingly - an informative article from MSNBC.
  • "Postmaster general covers his ears from House Republican questioning during Oversight hearing" (archive). I'm certain that people have already seen this, but I found it notable that The Hill is pointing it out. What I find most amusing is the Postmaster general covered his ears and then told McCormick "you're talking to yourself." I cannot believe that an old, horseshoe-bald man did something like this, and I'm glad the story is not a "Republicans pounce" meme.
  • "GOP senators say they won’t fight Trump on Jan. 6 pardons" (archive). The headline says it all and it seems that Trump is going to seriously pursue pardons for January 6th protesters after Biden pardoned his son in such a brazen way.
  • "Trump ready to ‘seal’ border from immigrants on Day 1" (archive). Another story of Trump doubling down on border security. You love to see it.
  • Finally, from MSNBC: "Joe Manchin's support for Supreme Court reform is a sign" (archive). The author is a dude with his wife's last name and writes like a fag, but the fact that Manchin is throwing out support for Supreme Court term limits is very interesting because he's chumming the liberal waters. This dude hasn't supported term limits for Congress, but is willing to fuck over the conservative majority on the Supreme Court? I think this guy stands in stark contrast to Mitch McConnell who, despite being a scummy DC politician, has always stood strong on the subject of getting conservatives into the Supreme Court. Like him or not, no one has fucked the Democrats harder on the Supreme Court than Mitch McConnell.
That's all I have for you now, USPG.

Association game, probably. Libs have been cheering the murder, while conservatives have been angry at it. Of course not everyone's the same, but that's the feel I got from the internet.

This is basically my opinion. Settling disputes of any kind by killing people is not good. morally or practically. That is how mudhut societies work. However, as someone who has been fucked by insurance companies, I have no sympathy for a CEO getting capped by a customer that his company denied coverage to; nor do I have sympathy for his family, since there are families who lost loved ones because his company denied coverage for necessary care.

You can have contempt for these people and not support wanton murder at the same time.

Ben keeps digging the hole and the commenters keep going at him.

I get Ben's point, even if it's tone-deaf. Leftists see this killing as a gold standard for change because they are, at their core, violent revolutionaries. Where Ben misses the mark is he defends the actions of these insurance companies rather than advocating for them to provide the fucking services that customers pay fees for. If health insurance companies aren't happy with their profit margin, then maybe they shouldn't have shilled for the Affordable Care Act.

Nobody cares. Welcome to the collapse.

If you follow me to the walls of rome, the fiddle playing will commence when the sun sets on the horizon of hellfire engulfing civilisation.

I'm just annoyed that redditors are acting like it's the start of "da revoluzion" when they all know they aren't gonna do shit. Like either get up off your ass and do it yourself or shut the fuck up.

(((they))) really, really, fucked up by attempting an assassination on Trump. a lot of people are angry right now and showing that shooting your opposition is on the menu is still rippling in the pond

i'm not a big fan of the cracks widening in society but i'm not going to feel bad for a health care executive being shot, lol. at least someone who deserved it got shot at for once
