Thank goodness Trump made things easier for Arab Americans whe he was president! What, it was the same thing when he was president? Shocking!

Thankfully that's only a problem for one of the candidates, right? Right?

AOC doesn't qualify due to age. She would certainly be an exciting candidate. Perhaps in 10 years she would be a viable candidate.

Yeah, this is where I'm at. I'm not an American, but I will feel the impact of your country's decisions very quickly. I think the best option is to beg the non-voters to get out and vote however you can while building a new party, or rebuilding an existing one, from the local level on up until you have a realistic chance of putting a leader worth having in place.

For what it's worth, I think the Biden administration hasn't done terribly. They could have done much better with the latest episode of the Israel-Gaza conflict, but we literally had Congress people advocating for a nuclear response. A lot of improvements in other areas were quietly made in the background that wasn't really talked about. I can't say if that's because Biden picked the right people to get things done, he had the right vision, or he just had good handlers. I'm not sure I care because, whatever the answer is, the opponent certainly doesn't have any of those.

I wouldn't classify it was witty. Pithy, succinct, a truism, sure, but not particularly notable beyond who said it.

If I was looking for a witty saying by Voltaire, I would go with, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Note also that it's value is not because it is witty, which I believe it is, but because of the content of the words. Unlike your words, which I can only hope was an attempt to be witty, yet also had no content.

Since no one has mentioned it, I think the draft is okay if it allows for conscientious objection. Realistically, most people aren't against the draft because they're against killing, they're against dying (which is fair). The thing is, almost no one wants to die, and sometimes war is inevitable (or at least out of your hands). So if people are against killing, that shouldn't be a problem. There are plenty of positions on the front lines, in forward positions, and in secure positions that need to be fulfilled where killing is neither necessary nor likely. So let them be cooks, clerks, maintenance, medics, etc.

Of course, conscripting should be fair and logistically beneficial for the country, like others mentioned. Sending teachers to war does more harm to the next generation than it helps the current one, for instance, and if you're at the point where even the teachers are needed you're looking at taking generations to recover even if your country survives.

More sound damped in quiet buildings. You can hear someone noisy in the room outside the tank, but normal sounds are blocked. So the building acts as sound damping, with more in the tank. At that point, all I could hear was my tinnitus.

I like Lewis, but he might be a little too angry to be in charge of missiles.

Oh, that's our criteria? Because you did that in your first comment, yet here we are.

Nothing to do with the nipple or how it functions.

Welcome to the 70's, although that was still in an adult context.
