Not for minorities who will be more victimized: women who need abortions, trans people, immigrants, non-Christians, black people, etc.

This argument would have been more persuasive if Biden hadn't been President for the last few years

Abortions? Basically nothing
Immigration? Worse off
Black people? Worse off

What treats do you have in mind?

If only

The reasons for the incident were not made clear, although Officer L told investigators A35 was interested in a relationship, something he denied. A35 countered that Officer L was known as “a flirt”.

“She alleges he then lowered the pistol, while further conversation took place, before raising it again and placing the muzzle directly under her chin. She saw that his finger was not on the trigger, and did not believe he intended to fire.

He says that in the very next paragraph, but I'm not understanding how that means Bin Laden's views are in fact informed by material analysis?

US foreign policy would continue to serve the interests of capital without Bush and American workers would suffer regardless of whatever arbitrary value ~ the national debt ~ is.

If Bin Laden wanted to collapse the US like Russia, he should have funded a US neoliberal think tank instead of blowing up a bunch of finance capitalists.

There's literally positions in Congress for party members called a whip for enforcing party discipline

Senators need 60 votes to do just about anything in the Senate but change the rules. That takes only 51 votes.

What can we do Jack, if we had to change the rules of the senate to allow majority votes then we might be able to do something

It's the guardian's awful style

Use all capitals if an abbreviation is pronounced as the individual letters (an initialism): BBC, CEO, US, VAT, etc; if it is an acronym (pronounced as a word) spell out with initial capital, eg Nasa, Nato, Unicef

As for the size of the economic deficit, it has reached record astronomical numbers estimated to total more than a trillion dollars.

And even more dangerous and bitter for America is that the mujahidin recently forced Bush to resort to emergency funds to continue the fight in Afghanistan and Iraq, which is evidence of the success of the bleed-until-bankruptcy plan – with Allah’s permission.

What no material analysis does

Bin Laden: "I've increased your government debt!" capitalist-laugh : "thanks for the profits"

They're still trying to audit the DoD

ASIS (Australian MI6) spent years paying quite a bit more than that buying dilapidated boats used by people smugglers (who obviously went and bought more junk boats to sell)

They also had their guns taken away from them for a few decades, and there was an interesting incident where an ASIS officer and SASR soldier drew their firearms on each other after an argument

In isolation yes, but in terms of the whole of Arizona not so much.

They'll just contribute to 1-2 percent extra river draining and huge sinkholes emerging over the coming century.
