This is hysterical and extremely sad at the same time. I'll bet she's never read the Hamas Charter either...

Palestine is simply the latest trend in PC virtue-signaling.

Like saying "I can't breef," or Occupying Wall Street, or sticking rainbow flags on everything, or changing your social media profile picture to contain the "I got vaccinated!" frame.

You don't have to actually know or understand anything about what you're claiming to support, which is why it's so fun and popular with people who have had the curiosity and skepticism beaten out of them by the education system.

As well as critical thinking and creativity. We just got a new college graduate who has all the imagination and spontaneity of a robot. If you don't tell him exactly what you need done, you get blank stares.

Reminds me of a poorer, more south-eastern version of TechConnect. Who I am told recently got a haircut, though I have not yet watched his latest episode.

Also, overheard on the train recently:

"Are you seriously attempting to defraud the Federal Open Markets Committee?"

I love city life.

Well, they don't teach civics, government, American history, logic, structured debate, all sorts of things these days. Most individuals can't articulate their own side of an argument much less the other side of any argument.


I've heard it said that if you cannot articulate the points of an opposite side of an issue then you really don't understand your own side of the issue as well as you should. I find this to be less and less applicable as so many policies are simply dictates with no attempts being made to explain the rationale behind them when they are proposed.

Edit: I began typing this post before brain posted about the masks.

I have often wondered if this is just a very small part of the fraud or a distraction. My real concern is if there were alterations made at a higher level. The computer-based systems seem like they would be easy for a government agency to manipulate. Maybe this is why the dems seem so desperate to stay in power. Might also be that biden has engaged in more illegal activity than we currently know. Maybe much more.

It's been confirmed that Putin was ready to end the war in 2022. His Ukrainian counterparts confirm that they believe that the offer was sincere. But then Boris Johnson swooped in, as well as Zelensky. Possibly up to $100 billion in military industrial complex purchases were saved by not ending the war, which as we all know by now is the actual reason for war. 20 years of Afghanistan is just a great way to move money--off the books--from one power center to another, and have us dumb taxpayers foot the bill.

Big Pharma tried their hand at the scheme in 2020...it went pretty well for them.
