I don’t think they really query one another. Maybe they do though?

I wonder how undergrads would do on the same exams given unlimited time and internet access but with LLMs blocked. That’s essentially what the LLMs have.

Well, DeSantis has been waging war on the mouse for a while, though he does seem to be backing down some.

America haters

These people also like to say that Democrats and progressives hate America.

How does the archive.org exemption work? When is it voted on next?

Do you have a source that shows that he failed multiple times?

I wonder how many do-overs the rest of us would get after blatantly lying on security clearance applications.

Zero. The answer is zero. When you fill out the form for your security clearance application you are told to retain a copy and use it when completing your renewals because even minor differences between applications will raise questions. Dot correct previous mistakes, let them ride since they passed scrutiny before.

Being caught in an outright lie would be immediately disqualifying for anyone except, apparently, Kushner.

Now all ‘profit’ goes directly into the community coffer.

Only after reparations have been made to everyone impacted. I’m sure there were more than eight families who were impacted by Chiquita funding terrorists for eight years and I doubt their abuses were actually limited to those eight years.

And said it would be a minimum of nine months IIRC…

Do you know where that graphic comes from? The data on opensecrets.org indicates that Biden has received $5,688,069 between 1990 and 2024.

I’m not disagreeing that this is a problem. This is undoubtedly a route through which foreign money is making it into US politics and Biden is one of the biggest recipients of Pro-Israel funds. It just isn’t as much money as indicated by the graphic. It is $5,688,069 spread over 34 years but loaded heavily to more recent years.

Biden donations from Pro-Israel sources by election cycle:

• 2023-2024: $1,459,405
• 2021-2022: Unsure - Not in top 20 and can’t find full dataset
• 2019-2020: $3,753,304

All other election cycles, Biden doesn’t appear in the top 20. Simple math indicates that, outside of 2019, 2020, 2023, and 2024, Biden received an additional $475,360 over the rest of his career.

I don’t like to see that Biden received $3,753,304 in the 2019-2020 campaign cycle. That is way too much foreign influence in my opinion, even if it technically came from American organizations. That said, Biden spent $1,614,843,740 in 2019-2020 meaning that only 0.23% of that was from Pro-Israel groups.

I came here to say the same thing. We don’t judge Gone With The Wind by current standards. Why judge Star Wars by current standards? It’s half a century old and societal morals and norms have changed significantly.

Don’t forget threatening to sanction the ICC over the Netanyahu arrest warrant.

The headline said exactly what happened. The aid group stated that they believed that their truck was bombed in a targeted attack. They didn’t say who they thought made the attack but requested that the Canadian government reach out to Israel to request an answer. They also requested an investigation by Canadian authorities.

It is fairly clear that the aid organization thinks Israel committed the bombing but they are allowing the Canadian government the latitude to be delicate with the situation.

This is horrific! This makes me think that the lesson that Israel learned from the Holocaust is how best to commit a genocide.

The images are nsfl, but everyone should see them.

Shit, I misread the article while drugged up after a surgery… Thanks for correcting me!

It bothers me that this calls. WWII era Nazis “Neo-Nazis”. “Neo” means “new”. The woman hit one of the original Nazis, not a Neo-Nazi.

I don’t really understand a few things about this conflict.

• What prompted Israel to bomb Iran’s embassy in Syria? I know there are tensions between Israel and Iran. I also know that Israel has been targeting Hezbula targets in Syria. Why attack Iranian generals in Syria?
• Why would Israel think that they can attack an Iranian embassy without reprisal?
• Why is Israel acting like the aggrieved party in this instance where they appear to be the aggressor?
• Why does Israel think it is a good idea to add another front to their current conflict? A stronger front than the one they are currently fighting?
