Hasan Piker hates the US so much he stays here when he has the means to go to a more hospitable country (in his opinion). That is hypocrisy that is just outstanding. mspart

Ok, not saying you are right but asking: 1. If the arabs can take the land, why is it impossible to for Israel to take land if they were attacked. Your explanation makes it sound like if you are attacked you are not allowed to take land. That's not how the world works. 2. Six day war occurred because the arabs were mobilizing against israel and Israel stopped them before they could attack. Should they have waited for the attack they knew was coming and have people killed that didn't need to be killed? They wiped out Syria and Egypts forces and repelled Jordanian attacks and move the Jordanians off of the west bank and claimed that as their own. I don't see why this is an impossible thing. Who says boundaries need to be the same after a war as they were before. Putin obviously does not think this way. If they gave back this land they conquered in that war, all would be ok and there would be no strife in the area right? mspart

I would say ballistics will show the gun was the gun or not the gun. Then we'll know. mspart

This shutdown is about Schumer reelection campaign. He is scared to death of AOC and feels he needs to go leftist to appease all those voters who would vote AOC. New Yorkers may be that dumb seeing that they are voting for Mamdami apparently. I know there is a difference between the city and the state, but the state is pretty hard care leftist as well so I would be scared if I was him as well. He probably has enough money after serving int he Senate for a lifetime. He'll be ok, don't worry. mspart

Actually, it just needed the president to enforce the law. Biden could have done it. But his puppet masters did not want him to so he didn't. mspart

Generally war has been over territory with the victor winning territory. Is there any argument with this? Hence there is nothing out of the ordinary for Israel to claim land after victories. Russia seems to be doing it now and there is a split among people whether it should be stopped or no. If Russia wins, then they get more territory. That's how things have worked forever. mspart

My guess is that there is an increase in carbon emissions and the state doesn't want the people to know that. I could be wrong but that makes sense to me. mspart

WA implemented a Carbon tax. The gas companies have to bid, in auction, for these credits. They pass the cost of that to the rest of us (again, joe taxpayer pays the bill) and drives gas and diesel up around 50 cents a gallon, over and above the current gas tax. Part of that law states that the Dept of Ecology must provide Carbon emission levels for this year and the past year on their website so the state knows the progress. Guess what? It should be no surprise to any of us that they have not done this. There was a lawsuit last year on this and it was denied because the plaintiff didn't have standing. Who has standing? Lawmakers, Governor, etc. Those with a need to know. But that is not what the law says, the law says it shall be available. Now there is another similar lawsuit to make the state publish this info and they have a couple of lawmakers on board. Why would they not want to tout their wonderful results? It's obvious. It is a boondoggle to fund their precious pet projects at the expense of the taxpayer and carbon emissions have not been reduced. Talk about corruption. Of course, the gov and the legislature are not screaming for this info. Why? I think because they know. As long as we are in the dark (isn't the light the great antiseptic to corruption?), the people will not be knowledgeable of the boondoggle with their money. If they know, then they might vote the jerks out. The corruption is there with one party rule. mspart

That was a really funny little addition you put into all your issues that would happen. Thanks for the laugh. I'm still smiling about that one. mspart

Correct. I remember watching US Nationals Veterans at the 1999 WTT in Seattle. I watched them and thought they were slow and thought I could do that. So I worked for it and went to Vegas in 2000 and got killed. They were faster than they looked the year before. Or was it I was much slower than I thought I was. And technique, I didn't have. I just love wrestling, I was never really any good at it. I was never elite by any stretch, did no college wrestling. But I did Veterans for three years and had a blast doing it. I got one guy involved that killed me in a local tourney in MN. I mean he destroyed me. After that match I talked with him and said he should do Veterans. He did that next time. He came to Vegas and was the FS/GR champ for a few years. He was pretty good. mspart

Agreed. But here in WA, gender is taught in Kindergartner classes. https://yaf.org/news/washington-state-to-teach-kindergartners-many-ways-to-express-gender/ https://defendinged.org/incidents/seattle-public-schools-utilize-k-5-gender-lessons-that-teach-kindergartners-about-transitioning-and-pronouns/ mspart

I didn't vote for this conversation. mspart

Dogs can be incredible that's for sure. mspart

I for one do not want a civil war. But I have heard that kind of talk and I always say you really really don't want that. It will end in death and misery because everything you love about life now will be taken away. They will attack the water systems, the electrical systems and petrol systems that make our life what it is right now. I don't think that would serve anyone well. mspart

Thank you for responding Rasta. I have not seen that video. In any event, you have an interesting take on it. Maybe this kid will get railroaded. Maybe he did it. I guess the evidence will have to show. I assume they have the bullet and can do a ballistics match and prove that it was the mauser the kid had or not. mspart

I hadn't considered NIL in that. Interesting. mspart

I'm not so sure of that. He's a moderate for a Seattle D. They got tired of the crazies and voted him in. Now he is up for re-election against a near crazy which is probably why he said that. He's not R, but I don't see him as being a left wing lunatic like a lot are around here. mspart

At the time, the Rs during the civil war were not the conservatives. The conservatives were the ones that wanted to keep things the same, hence the name conservative. The Rs were working to abolish slavery which was not conservative. In today's world, the Rs and Ds were not nearly the same as they are now. Clearly different parties. mspart

How so Rasta? I'm interested in what you think on this one. Not looking to argue, just why you think the above may be true. What isn't adding up? mspart

I'm sure Caitlin is grateful because the WNBA pays peanuts. But her quote is not wrong. WNBA is a platform which allows women to make more than the salary they get. mspart

Yes, this is the ethic that allowed shoplifters to steal up to $800 of stuff because they need it for their families, every day and multiple times a day. Yes, the guys family needed 18 packs of diapers today and tomorrow and later this afternoon. This is how they view the homeless. They do not prosecute the homeless because they are just trying to get by. When in reality, 95%+ of them are doing it to get money to buy drugs. That is it in a nutshell. And the city countenances that. And that is one way how you get reduced crime levels if you arrest and do not charge. If you as a taxpaying law abiding person did what they did, you would be thrown in the pokey. But they are not. And let me tell you winter here is not a fun place to be camping outside. But they choose to do that. In fact there is a hotel (was a red lion) in Renton that the county bought to make it into a homeless shelter. Guess what? It is empty. Why say you? Well, it is this little thing about providing shelter with no behavioral requirements. So they were allowed to do all the drugs they wanted in their "apartment". So now the place is a toxic wasteland. Suitable to be bulldozed and nothing more. The county allowed these people to completely wreck the place they provided for them and did nothing about it. The idiocy is just unbelievable. I live in unincorporated King County, not in Seattle. But I see and hear enough about what is going on in there. I try not to go to Seattle anymore. I am trying to get World Cup tickets if they aren't outrageous next year, but I do not go there very often. mspart

Yes, that would be simple. I agree with you. mspart

So what you are saying is that those people that were detained and let go in the middle of the night are not happier now than they were 2 weeks ago. Is that correct? I agree it would have been better for the operation to just get the baddies. But it would have been even better not to have let the baddies in. Then those people wouldn't have lived through what they did. I would bet that they are much happier now that the baddies are gone. mspart

All they do is disparage you and name call. It's all they got in the holster. mspart

It's not strictly true. That means it is true at least partially. But she won't elaborate, just say it is not strictly true. Warren really knows how to explain things. mspart
