In other news
In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there are important, interesting or just plain weird things happening out there and a group of people can find these better than one.
I thought I would test with a thread for linking general news articles about "other news" and discussion. Perhaps it goes into the abyss that is page 2 and beyond, but it is worth a try.
Some guidelines:
- Try to find the "clean link", so that links to the news site directly and not a social media site. Avoid "amp-links" (google).
- Write some cliff notes on what it is about, especially if it is a video.
- It's not an excuse to make outlandish claims via proxy or link extremist content.
- If it's an editorial or opinion piece, it is polite to mark it as such.
- Note the language if it is not in English.
- There is no demand that such things be posted here, if you think a piece merits its own thread, then make one.
I dont know what you are talking about. you are the most ignorant and lazy person on this forum so I dont expect your worthless opinion to ever change.
Oh, I guess you were too lazy to read the article I linked then. And to say what part of my post you disagreed with. But not too lazy to do some name-calling, which has just been reiterated as being prohibited.
This story baffles me. So the Defense secretary is in ICU and nobody knows and he doesn't inform anyone. Hey its not like there are any world conflicts going on .Who authorized taking out the Iranian in that drone strike? His next in command on vacation in Puerto Rico
Ok so do u let Palestinians votes while they live in the Gaza band or u just consider them tourist ?
Apartheid ftw ?
Palestinians in the West bank or gaza vote in their respective elections
Palestinians who are Israeli citizens vote in Israel
Palestinians in unrwa refugee camps for 80 years are denied voting rights by the pale authority

He namecalls whenever he knows he is wrong. It's a defense mechanism. Wear it with honor

Where does the bolded come from? All I get from the article in that regard is that the public wasn't informed at the time. If he kept it secret and no one else in government knew, I'd think they'd lead with that story.

His assistant and the President had no clue and were not informed
There's a looming threat to our democracy that's bigger than Donald Trump
With so many election deniers in Congress, who needs a mob?
roughly a third of the current House and Senate — 171 members in all — are election deniers
Election deniers represent 36 states, red and blue alike. And most will be on the ballot again this November.
members of Congress have largely escaped having to answer for betraying American voters

Thanks. Definitely not a great look with the info we have.
The green candle didn’t last long .
Was already priced in huh ?
SEC account was hacked...
Lol ok ! 😀
Explain the candle falll I guess 0o
If I managed to hack the SEC Twitter account I would have come up with something so much better. Something like "JP Morgan Chase is insolvent, but don't worry we have a committee coming up with a solution. PLEASE DON'T PANIC."
The chance of being caught would go astronomically higher with the damage in the markets that would have cost with that kind of news I suppose .
hmm, does anybody with the keys to the code at twitter have an axe to grind with the sec?
How have we not lit up Yemen (Houthis). We give them a vague last warning and they launch the biggest attack so far yesterday. Don't understand how we haven't launched 100 cruise missiles.
Firing anti ship missiles and drones at military and civilian ships is an odd way to show you aren't trying to hurt anyone. You can't just sit back and hope they keep failing.
how many people did Yemen kill? Ill help, 0. and in fact they did everything they could to avoid hurting anyone.
now the USA is murdering Yemeni babies to support a genocide in Israel and so that shipping times improve.
Victor, have you ever stopped to ask yourself if taking every situation and putting the worst possible spin on it for whomever you're hating on is a useful debate or conversation tactic? Rhetoric can be a useful or even humorous tool at times, but it loses all value when you use it every. ****ing. Post.
And the result is just endless stupid arguments about the words you use rather than the issues at hand, and I'm probably not the only one who long ago stopped reading the Ukraine and Israel threads as a result. Not only because of you, to be clear; you're just the one who does this most consistently, AINEC.

At this point, I think it's just an old and tired bit he's doing.
One trick pony.

there is no personal attack in my post. I could have pointed out the obv about ntany but I refrained bc believe or not I am trying to avoid rancor.
the rest of it is factual. Yemen has killed 0 people. USA has killed many Yemenis and is now bombing their cities. USA has stated explicitly that this is to ensure global shipping times do not increase and so that ships can go to Israel.
Israel is currently on trial for genocide in the international courts. they had a hearing today! there is also a very comprehensive and accessible 80 some page document prepared by brilliant South African (and other countries) lawyers. so if you disbelief the genocide claims, then I would encourage you to read the document or find a good synopsis. I find you reasonable, or at least you present yourself that way. I think any reasonable person would be convinced if they saw what was in the document or watched some of the clips from the SA trial today.
Yemen itself has also repeatedly proclaimed that they are blocking shipping for a humanitarian goal (or you could call it political). that goal is to stop the genocide in Gaza.
when you look at all of those facts, there is really nothing rhetorical about my post. there is nothing even contentious or inflammatory other than I guess the fact is that real life is particularly nasty at the moment (or always).
