But people have been charged with treason and conspiracy, there were pretty well known plans to hinder the election process, many people were charged with gun or other weapons violations, so I don't know how much of an overreach it is to call it treason or part of an attempted coup? I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

How about this: one press, one swipe, tap a few times and it continues relative to the rate you tap it. Perfect, no stupid tablet menu necessary.

I wish he would at least lie with more difficulty

If you showed me this tweet from the future as I chuckled at the Dilbert strip in the paper in the 90s, I would say "dear lord what the fuck is going to happen in the next couple decades??"

When we see a man, we instinctively see his whole body in our mind, genitals and all, to observe for weak points. Often when viewing a tall formidable opponent I notice I find myself becoming aroused. This is because the human Man must procreate soon after defeating his enemy, at the greatest time of sexual energy and safety. There is no such thing as same-sex attraction, it's a feminist myth.

"Woman don't understand this. We are born with hypervigilance. Only men have the strength and power of will to sit in the back of Denny's watching the entrance and exits for any potential threats, never a moment to relax. Life is war."

It's not 'good guys vs bad guys' but there is usually an aggressor and a defender in conflict. Did Palestinians, or Hamas, organize this conflict? Did they decide to unilaterally take territory and kill thousands of people on repeat over the last decades? Hamas fighters are Palestinian people, if they weren't organized under Hamas they would be under a different banner fighting the same war.

But Hamas is far from the only militant group fighting the IDF. If they stopped fighting another group would be fighting the IDF. Palestinians fighting now view it as a struggle for the survival of their people and culture. Even if there was no organize military in Palestine fighting, many average Palestinians have been struggling against Israeli forces for decades, unaligned.

There are communist groups that work with Hamas, so that may have been removed because it doesn't seem accurate.

As well as millions of dollars given to Hamas by Israeli officials throughout this time, specifically because of their unpalatable extremism.

Well yes, they are well versed in history, right-wing politicians in Israel view the conflict on a biblical time scale and believe they are regaining their holy land. They are doing it as carefully and deliberately as they can, which is difficult and time consuming because they are supported by the West who mostly doesn't want them to commit genocide. Without the support of the West, Israel would be much more likely to be defeated by the numerous enemies that surround them.

It's a conservative position to limit immigration. Do you feel you support more progressive policies than conservative overall? What verifiable harm has come from increased immigration? People deserve a safe place to live, whether they were born in Mexico or Texas, we have more than enough resources in the US to help people that immigrate here. I don't see how your metaphor is accurate. The US isn't a house or private property.
