It sounds like Republican "think tanks" and PACs have more money to spend

If you think religion has nothing to do with this, I guess this conversation is over

Michelle Roverelli, the head of communications for the European Broadcasting Union that runs the show, said ticket holders are only allowed to bring and display flags representing countries that take part in the event, as well as the rainbow-coloured flag.

The Geneva-based EBU reserves the right “to remove any other flags or symbols, clothing, items and banners being used for the likely purpose of instrumentalising the TV shows,” she told the Associated Press in a text message.

Martin Österdahl, the contest's executive supervisor, told TT that “these rules are the same as last year. There is no change.”

They've never allowed political protests. Nothing is different vs any other year. This headline sure is inflammatory, though

Erdogan may be an authoritarian, but he makes decisions in Turkey's interests, not other nation's interests. His country is over 95% Muslim, so I don't know why you're surprised by this. I don't like the man but am glad he's taking this step

What's on its way to the Senate has nothing to do with criticizing Netanyahu and only applies to the Department of Education

It's not a law that you can't criticize Netanyahu...

This comment makes no sense. What is "it?" Who are "they?" What has been "heavily criticized," and for what?

The Democratic party today is significantly more progressive than it was 24 years ago, so I'm going to give you kudos

Can you explain how the Democratic party "effectively cancelled" primaries this year? I guess I'm wondering what I voted on back in March if it wasn't the Democratic primary ballot

Bernie Sanders has endorsed Biden and would encourage you to vote for Biden. Maybe you should listen to him

[The bill] requires the Department of Education to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition of antisemitism when enforcing federal anti-discrimination laws

This is what the bill actually does. I don't like it, but there's no reason to mischaracterize it
