I was all ready to start complaining, because I thought it was going to be more "both sides amiright"

Instead I found only unvarnished truth

Being willing to performatively honor Trump's delusions, e.g. calling him the president because he is happier with that than with being the former president, is a key requirement for him to be happy with your job performance. It is probably the most valuable requirement for working with him, in his mind.

"Requiring President Trump to post a bond or other security before this Court's ruling on his stay motion threatens to impose irreparable injury in the form of substantial costs (which may or may not be recoverable)," the attorneys wrote.

I wish the judge's ruling would simply quote this part and then say, "Yep." And then the legalese indicating the the request is denied.

(Also -- I actually don't agree that him trying to squirm out of paying means anything in particular about whether he has the money. Delaying and avoiding paying big bills and hoping that if he stalls them enough, they'll go away, has been Trump's MO since the 1980s.)

I'm just here to see people in the comments taking this seriously and getting upset 😀

*most craven

He's probably making 6 figures by saying these things. A lot of people decide to sell out their social grouping for hard cash, this Uncle Ruckus motherfucker is just doing it in public and in a little more blatant / attention grabbing fashion than usual.

I apologize; I am very sensitive on this topic, and I was being too aggressive.

All good 👍🏻

Hamas has never existed outside of Israel's violence, so it's impossible to say whether they would eschew true peace in favor of revenge or not, seeing as they've never been given the option.

Yeah. That occurred to me as I was quoting my stuff... like at this point, what the fuck else are they going to say. And even then they're hedging it a little bit, saying that they'd accept a cease-fire and the 1967 borders as long as it's "not permanent" (not that Israel would agree to that anyway.)

So yeah maybe it's unfair to say they wouldn't want peace if there was realistic peace in front of them.

And also, this was news to me, but apparently they're for the most part still doing polls by calling people on the phone from a random number. I cannot possibly imagine that that's true but that's what the article says.

They're like micro optimizing for individual per cents, and then doing something which will eliminate 80% of Gen Z from their polling, and when you ask them about it they apparently say "¯_(ツ)_/¯ IDK we do phone"
