Finally someone is putting that motherfucker in his place, and there is nothing he can do about it, at least if he wants to stay outside of jail while awaiting his trials.

Very close to where I work, three people were shot, two killed, presumably because they were Swedish. They were visibly so due to the football game Sweden was playing against Belgium. An IS terrorist claimed responsibility on a video he posted. I assume it has something to do with the Quran burnings that occur occasionally in Sweden.
What a crazy world we’re living in.

Now imagine living in a country where such actions are advocated by the government on a daily basis.

The House is voting for a new Speaker. After Steve “David Duke without the baggage” Scalise withdrew from consideration last week, Republicans have put forward sexual assault-enabling election-denier Jim Jordan.
He has lost the first vote, with 20 Republicans voting for other candidates. Democrats, as they did in January, are unanimously voting for Hakeem Jeffries.
With the vote not even being close, it sounds like it might be a while before they hold a second vote.

Are you sure about what you say Quinn?
There are enough videos to back up the misfire claim:

Plus there is no motive for Israel to bomb a hospital, while Hamas has an actual Motive to use a Hospital to hide rockets and explosives - because they are an immoral terrorist organization that is willing to put the Palestinians at risk for it’s own gain.

Just when people thought the school system failed their children. Some teacher manages to reach a new low.
I want to preface I don’t know how it is for other schools, but when it came to screening movies as an activity my teachers growing up usually sought out approval from the principal on the selection before allowing the kids to choose.
Dont know what happened here but clearly a film with “Blood and Honey” in the name didn’t raise alarm and of course the teachers inability to do 30 seconds of research led to some childhood trauma for these children.

31 posts were split to a new topic: General News talk on hospital attack
The current conflict is very personal to many people in the world. I fully understand when people who have lost relatives and friends on either side of the fence to be furious how this could have happened and keeps on happening.
The attack on the hospital is not clearly attributable to either side at this moment. For example, Israel argues with a missing crater, intact solar panels and satellite photos. But Israel is also a party in this conflict so naturally is not reliable to present fully neutral information to the public. Many news outlets are reluctant about the situation.
Please use this thread solely for posting news, written by people who put a lot of expertise and time in evaluating what is known or what has been recorded.
If two sources are conflicting, like who is to blame for the attack on the hospital, that should show you how difficult it is sometimes to come to a conclusion that is unquestionable by any party. But only with such proof the question of fault and justifications is possible to be debated. And even then, this is not the best place to do that beyond sharing the related news.
I think a forum with adult users really should have a topic like this and we try to keep this working.
To cool off the situation from the last posts a bit this topic remains closed for a few hours.
I kept the first two posts about the hospital because I think they are valuable input, personal opinions put aside.

It has no trans characters and annoys Disney. I’m sure DeSantis approves of it.
Sidney Powell has become the second person to plead guilty in the Georgia election interference case, a day before her trial was set to start. Prosecutors are recommending she serve 6 years probation and, as part of her plea, she will be required to testify in future trials.

Even in death Silvio Berlusconi is saddling Italians with outrageous expenses and massive debt.
Good, that EV tax was bullshit. It should have been lobbied against heavy-duty Internal Combustion Engine vehicles.

After taking yesterday off, the House has rejected Jim Jordan for a third time, with the number of Republican defectors growing to 25. We are now on Day 17 without a Speaker.
A judge has ruled that bloviating gasbag Alex Jones cannot hide behind bankruptcy to avoid paying the $1 billion Sandy Hook judgment.
And literally as I was typing this, news came in that Kenneth Cheseboro, whose trial was scheduled to start today, has also accepted a plea deal in the Georgia election case and will be required to testify in future proceedings.

Every time he does it the number of people who vote for him drops. It is absolutely hysterical and the sort of thing you want to do right before an election year.

Apparently, they staggered the votes against him in a planned, concerted effort to humiliate him and shrink his prospects, at least during the first two days. Some deliberately voted yes on the first ballot, knowing he wouldn’t have enough votes, just so they could then change to no the next day and widen the gap. This so-called party is such trash.

The House GOP held a Conference meeting which the members voted 112-86 removing Jim Jordan as the GOP nominee for Speaker. Steve Scalise down and now Jordan. Honestly don’t know if they have anyone who can get the magic 217 number to get elected at this point.
EDIT: 5 also voted Present

The longer this takes the more hope I have of some actual moderate becoming speaker with votes from both sides of the aisle.
