That’s nowhere near enough space! You’re going to need SEVERAL square yards!

Tbf, a pun-based show with gratuitous fourth wall breaking is the kind of desperate I would actually love 😁

Bad muzak I can handle. It’s when they interrupt it every ten seconds to remind you that there’s still the same number of people ahead of you that really gets my goat. And I need that goat!

telling them that you can do nothing about it is a pretty bad idea

Again, a military action is not the only possible response. Your “military or nothing” false dichotomy is beginning to grate…

What is it then?

I already told you I don’t know. Luckily, you don’t need to know what DOES work in order to know that a military response categorically DOESN’T WORK unless your aim is to cause MORE terrorism to happen.

Imagine Israel giving aid to Gaza right after Hamas attacked them, LOL

That would actually be a great idea. Would show Palestinians that, unlike Hamas, Israel cares about the innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.

They don’t, of course, but pretending so could have gone a long way towards reconciliation and the erosion of Hamas’ influence in Gaza.

Israel never wanted a stable Gaza

Which is objectively stupid of Israel, unless they have genocidal intentions and don’t care much about innocent lives. Which they’ve of course demonstrated is absolutely the case.

Military action has it’s downsides

Yes, most people would consider “needless deaths of civilians while causing more terrorism” a pretty significant downside.

but the government of any nation would need to do something in a situation like this

Of course, but “something” ≠ military action.

Taking steps in the past to make the situation better in Gaza, and in turn give people less reasons to join and support Hamas would have been be better

Fixed that for you

that ship has sailed

It most certainly has not.

they didn’t want it anyways.

Hamas may not, but the Palestinian civilian population which are the main victims in this most certainly do.

Of course military action is the answer

Gonna have to strenuously disagree with you there. Fighting terrorism militarily has invariably led to MORE terrorism as all the death and destruction makes it that much easier for them to radicalize and recruit the people whose loved ones go from human beings to collateral damage statistics.

I’m not sure I know what IS the best solution, but military action is objectively a not just ineffective but extremely counterproductive “solution”.

Found the shill. I hope AIPAC or whatever other de facto part of the fascist apartheid regime is at least paying you well.

I’d hate for anyone to work that hard at licking fascist boots for free, and every Shekel going to superfluous propagandists like you is a Shekel not going directly to trying to eradicate Palestinians.

The money flows forever as long as you toe the line for Israel no matter what.

And the moment they deem you not deferential enough to the apartheid regime, it flows to your main opponents and ads by AIPAC itself attacking you as an “enemy of Israel” or whatever bullshit they come up with.

This just in: 72% of the senate don’t give a fuck about the lives and human rights of innocent Palestinians, more than half of which are children.

These despicable genocide apologists need to be confronted about it wherever they go. They should not have a moment’s peace until they stop enabling the war crimes of an apartheid regime that brutally terrorizes every man, woman and child in Gaza (and most of those in the West Bank) every moment of every day.

Yeah because slogans always tell the whole story and middle eastern politics never mixes with religion 🙄

Also, even if it IS a group of religious nuts, does that make ALL of them terrorists?

So much fucking stereotyping!

Houthis are a mostly political movement and the de facto government of the most populous parts of Yemen.

Saying “our action targets the Houthis and not the people of Yemen” is straight nonsense deliberately designed to paint the chosen government of most of the Yemeni people as identical to small groups of terrorists within the large movement.

It’s straight out of the Dubya/Cheney/Rumsfeld playbook of manufacturing consent for war crimes.

I hope it’s not the left one. I only had enough shaving cream left this morning to do the other two.

Nah, that was SENATOR Mullin on the senate floor having to be talked down by Bernie

Says a lot about the political climate that not only were you able to ever forget about something so bizarre, but it’s actually completely understandable!

Good point!

Your mom’s nonsensical.

Everyone except dumbasses with no critical thinking skills understands that in order to pay people a living wage, prices have to adjust accordingly

Except not really. Businesses have much wider profit margins than they pretend to.

For example, in Denmark the McDonald’s entry-level wage is the equivalent of $22 and a Big Mac costs LESS than in most of the US.

If McDonald’s couldn’t make a profit doing that, they’d simply stop doing business in Denmark. They don’t.

Restaurants run on thin margins.

Not anywhere near as thin as you think. The official numbers are AFTER artificially deflating their profits for tax avoidance reasons.

he gives up every penny of that to make payroll.

Ridiculously unrealistic.

An employee pocketing $20 probably costs his employer $40

What have you been smoking?? In the real world, workers produce a hell of a lot more value than they’re given in return. That’s how companies profit.

he’s trying to tighten up, keep those people on the payroll.

No, he’s trying to recoup the profits lost from paying his workers a living wage by making it less livable for them. He’s protecting his profits, not workers.

And gets demonized for it.

And rightly so. He’s acting like the put upon victim when in reality he’s complaining about having to pull other exploitation levers now that one is fixed at a lower setting.

I agree, but must say I’m pretty disappointed that you didn’t use the time a GOP candidate literally body slammed a reporter and STILL got elected as your example of someone actually getting slammed…
