A Jewish Senator sponsored the resolution to block further weapons sales, so at least some people are able to separate the Jewish religion from the Israeli government.

As if increasing bicycle throughput isn’t increasing vehicle throughput. They’re vehicles, and can probably achieve a higher passenger density than individual cars can on a city street.

Yeah, problem is it’s still 16 months until Election Day, and 18 until the next Congress is seated. That’s a lot of time for this current government to continue to do harm. I really wish we had recall elections at the national level.

Well, There’s Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters, with slides. Not as dry as it sounds, a lot of it is taking the piss out of the people in decision-making roles who made the disaster possible. The video version is recommended for afore mentioned slide decks; none of the hosts actually appear on screen.

I suppose the one meager upside is that this stone is now tied around Vance’s neck, too, for the next presidential election.

The reporter kind of dropped the ball when it’s a 99-1 vote and they don’t name the one holdout senator.

Last time the administration said another country didn’t have any cards they destroyed a quarter of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet a few weeks later.

No, she pretends to be a RINO, but toes the Republican line whenever it actually matters.

She’s a Republican?

I’m more concerned about the general. She’s a wannabe centrist Republican, so if she looses the primary, it’d probably be to a MAGA hardliner. At least they’d be honest with where stand, but I don’t like those positions.

On the other hand, if they did vote for impeachment, call them and tell them to keep up the good fight.

Replied to the wrong person, it was supposed to be in reply to the person that was complaining that MTG use to stand for Magic: The Gathering for 20 years before the rise of the representative from Georgia.

Yeah, she ruined Magic the same way the terrorists in Iraq and Syria ruined the name of Archer’s spy organization, ISIS. (Also the name of Catwoman’s favorite cat, and an ancient Egyptian goddess.)

But Trump clearly said, “Now is the time for peace.” No takesies-backsies, Iran! /s

Probably around (0, 0.5)

Won’t stop the red hats from buying it out of loyalty to the Emperor.

God do we need to move away from first past the post so when we get into these situations, a new party can be formed without fear of splitting the vote and handing the election to the other end of the spectrum.

Russia doesn’t get to dictate who other sovereign nations choose to associate with.

Sea otters exhibit this behavior. They keep their favorite rock in their pouches and use them to crack open shellfish.

Unfortunately, the contingency plan is going to be “Give more money to Boeing and Lockheed Martin,” and we saw how that went with Starliner.
