don't let them fool you into thinking just because Epstein is dead that it's over, and there aren't more secret pedo islands out there
Haha just ignore the Biden family also having a now-sold private island around 5-6 nautical miles from Epstein’s, and that it had a submarine dock, and that Ghislaine was a qualified submarine pilot, nothing to see here, haha. What are you, some kind of pattern noticer who doesn’t trust the people in charge of the narrative when they say their hands are clean? Crazy!
 
Again, said like someone with no understanding of the situation on the ground. Everyone is happy with the current setup.

I have done a bunch of research and writing on the millet system of the Ottoman's, while it was able to procure a general protracted peace between the disparate parties in a barbarous time and region, I don't think the beacon of light in the asshole of the world should just have an overtly segregationist internal policy at such an individual level and sit as equals at the table of freedom and democracy. I understand the desire, sure, and perchance think it may even be the lesser evil, but it certainly doesn't meet the western values thing by a long shot. Hell, your culture may even be stronger for it. Your ilk certainly seem to hate similar systems impositions when done by others though, strangely.

It reminds me so much of the article the other day from some Israeli paper about how the shifts in Western values has Israel looking east. It was painted in such a way that it was meant to be jilting but in reality, its always been the case. Orientalism, occidentalism, who cares? If the jews make the rules, everything is a mitzvah and if they don't, they get subversive.

Herzl's dream will one day be reality and, as ever, it will be done by your own hands and attributed to everyone else's. Thousands of years history and tomes of knowledge, facts and pilpul but no wisdom. Have fun.
 
The claim that Epstein killed himself is suspect when all the information released to the public is considered, the client list may or may not exist (the documentation in "Little Black Book" shows he didn't exactly leave an easy to track paper trail), and the Democrats today are as likable as they were when Trump was elected months ago which is to say not at all. The push back against Bondi and Patel is justified and I hope the full story is revealed in due time one day. The world as always is morally gray, remember pragmatism and that there are always bigger fish to fry.
This probably best summarizes my thoughts. If such a list exists or existed at one point, there are plenty of people on both sides of the aisle who would do whatever it took no matter how corrupt or unethical it might be to make sure that list never saw the light of day or was destroyed before it could be released. Still, the country deserves an explanation for the whole, "We're going to release this!" that has turned into the, "I know nothing!" Hogan's Heroes meme we have now - even if it means Bondi and Patel have their feet put to the fire to explain themselves.

I don’t know what’s happening but it’s clear that liberals and Leftists are teetering over the precipice into a full violent insanity that’s uncontrollable by their leaders at this point.
I think I posted after the Minnesota shootings how the left's insistence violence is acceptable when it's the "proper" target has taken an unexpected turn with leftists now attacking their own for not being liberal enough. If it gets any more out of hand, this could easily become a Pandora's Box that can't be closed.

Crazy judge blocked the BBB's defunding of Planned Parenthood:
I love how entities such as Planned Parenthood insist government funding is an insignificant part of the budget only to subsequently whine how a government funding cut - this time implemented through a properly passed and signed budget bill - will decimate their own budget and the services provided. It's hard to deem anyone talking out of both sides of their mouth credible.

You are not being a judge when you throw a tantrum about something that has become law through the proper process. FFS.
Too many judges want to be partisan and popular instead of ruling on the merits of a case.

How the Supreme Court rules on birthright citizenship will be the most consequential cause of Trump's life, and the most significant court case of our life time.
It's been discussed/debated that Trump's EO on birthright citizenship was deliberate so that the challenges against it would be ultimately decided by SCOTUS. I wish I had confidence they'll issue a favorable ruling.

The TSA system is a fucking joke, I had a metal clip in my pants and had to get privately pat down by some random dude for a few minutes.
Without realizing it was still in my pocket, I had an alcohol wipe in a foil-lined wrapper set off the metal detector repeatedly which led to TSA having me step aside for scanning by the hand wand. When asked to check my pocket again, I found the wrapper crumpled up in the deepest part of the pocket. The frustrated look on the agent's face wasting time over a forgotten alcohol wipe said all that needed to be said.

TSA agents are the literal bottom of the barrel government employees, these dumbfucks will not speak to you once but get mad that you don't follow their non-verbal instructions.
Too many also enjoy their position of authority. Going through security at a smaller airport on my way home from a trip, the luggage screener saw i was the only one in line and ran my briefcase back and forth through the x-ray machine at least three times for no other reason than he could. Saying anything would have led to further security scrutiny, so I silently let him have his morning fun until he realized there was nothing for him to see and eventually send me on my way. Government work at its finest, amirite?
E: Spelling.

@WelperHelper99 So, now that the BBB's been signed, when's Trump's administration gonna investigate Google, Apple, or Microsoft? Or all the gay stuff in Hollywood?
Hell if I know. Trump seems he wants to make deals with the companies frankly. The gay stuff is in court constantly, so who knows on that?

It's a system no one has a problem with other than tel aviv libs and your faux concern is disengenious.

No, it was a suggestion to look east by a journalist who wrote for a far right paper

Birthright citizenship isn't going away without a constitutional amendment. The wording is pretty plain and the last few times the Supreme Court saw words that aren't there we got Roe v. Wade, Obamacare, Citizens United and on and on.
 
The reason Trump can behave as if they're in an "everlasting dictatorship" is
1. The democrats are broken and shattered and are being rejected by Ameirca
2. He's intentionally targeting the support structure that has allowed the left to steal national elections and have undue influence on our culture and politics
3. The combination of 1 and 2 mean the odds of them winning another election without some time in the political wilderness is pretty damned low
4. He's a lame duck. He doesn't have to run again. Why wouldn't he do whatever the fuck he wants? What are you gonna do if he does, call him a dictator, a nazi, a fascist? Try and kill him or his family? Again?

I meant on a global scale. I don't think the global level of open hostility is going to turn down any time soon.

And It's not really a faux concern, it's a complete ambivalence to the outcome on a general level. Individually, its horrifying.

The only responsibility he may put onto himself is leaving Vance in as good of a position as possible, he's probably very invested in the future of the country in regards to his finances and whatnot so why wouldn't he try his best to ensure the government leans as close to his ideals as possible after he's done?

That’s irrelevant to the salient point, which is that your ‘secular democracy’ bans interfaith marriages for religious reasons, thereby placing religious laws above secular laws.
Israel recognizes foreign marriages, including same sex and interfaith, so that issue doesn't come up legally.
Oh I’m aware of that, but please refer to my point above. The issue at hand is a secular democracy that bans interfaith marriages within the state for religious reasons.

Israel has Halakhic, Sharia, Druze, and Evangelical courts to deal with religious issues. They also have secular courts to deal with civil and criminal matters.
So these ‘religious courts’ oppose interfaith marriages, and the secular democracy does what? Is it to grovel before them and uphold their wishes?

When one of the non-halakhic millets in Israel makes a ruling regarding a Jew, is that ruling enforced? If so, by whom? Which of these millets is the one with enough power in this ‘secular democracy’ to ban interfaith marriages?

The religious courts ruling applies to only the religion of the court. Inter religious disputes are done through the secular courts
