  • Trump’s counterrorism chief, whose own wife was killed by ISIS, quits over Iran War saying Tehran posed ‘no imminent threat’ to US

  • Except that’s not what I’m saying.

    Two things can be true at the same time:

    1. Not every criticism of Israel is antisemitism
    2. Racists can express their antisemitism through criticism of Israel.

    There is so much that one could criticize Israel over that I won’t even pretend to be able to list it all. But this government counterterrorism expert blaming Israel for “manufacturing” a conflict that his own government had the greater hand in creating is either stupid or disingenuous. Either way it shows where his heart lies.

  • There’s no doubt that the actions of the US and Israel fertilized the soil from which ISIS sprang forth. But that is a far cry from the accusation that Israel purposefully manufactured the ISIS situation in order to draw the US into a conflict in which they were already engaged.

  • Accusing Jews (and Israel as a proxy thereof) of sinister machinations behind-the-scenes is a hallmark of antisemitism; particularly when those claims are demonstrably false.

    Don’t get me wrong; Bibi and his buddies have a lot to answer for, but blaming Israel for the US invasion of Iraq and the conflict with ISIS, who came to power as a result of the US invasion of Iraq, is some of the most blatant bullshit that can come out of the mouth of someone who is supposed to be an expert on counterterrorism.

  • We need to empower a multidisciplinary workgroup to establish a performative analysis of our process capabilities from a data driven perspective relative to this newly published benchmark.

  • We (at least used to) learn basic probabilities and averages (mean median, mode) in grade school. Maybe a little about distributions and deviations in the upper grades, but not greater statistical analysis unless you are in college prep courses.

  • Pastors gather in Oval Office to ‘pray for Donald Trump’ amidst Iran War

  • To pray for Trump to suddenly grow a conscience, right???

  • Taste is the second most important feature of Vodka in that it is not supposed to have one. The least important feature is whether it is made from potatoes or not. You can make vodka out of practically anything.

  • If animals suddenly gained the ability to speak, how would it affect our society?

    Jump

  • Depends what you count as “animals”. Because if ants get the vote, then we are all now vassals of one of the supercolonies.

    For better or worse, relatively few animals live to the national voting age.
