You know what? I haven’t said it since this conflict began but; Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Sigh Is this what we’re doing, now? Reliving the glory days of the 9/11 anti-Muslim moral panic?
This thing is DoA, even if it passes the House. More political theatre using the Israel/Hamas war as pretense to try to create a white ethnostate.
Besides, where are they supposed to go? Obviously Palestine isn’t an option.
Inb4 some Conservative says, “Send em to Mexico! It’s practically the same thing!”
Bora-bora. Wonderful this time of year.
It’s just outright embarrassing to be an American these days.
I agree. Mainly because of republicans though. Ukraine is literally fighting off an attack from a larger invader, and they will throw the government in disarray for two weeks to keep from funding Ukraine. Meanwhile, Israel is openly bombing refugee camps and completely disregarding non-combatant safety, and republicans want to fund them, by hamstringing the IRS, which gets an ROI of 10 to 1.
I don’t think it’s embarrassing being an american these days, and never was. being an USer, that yes it’s a shame, been for a looong time.
EDIT 65 seconds in, GW Bush joking on thousands of innocent people deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. audience laughs. Bush is a free man, with no big US organization (of any kind) arguing against his freedom.
What fear does Montana have of a terrorist attack?
What a ballsack.
Mostly the home grown kind.
Kill-billies!
Humans are bad at threat analysis. I remember after 9/11, little hick towns in the middle of bumfuck nowhere were worried that their little tourist trap landmark what not was under immediate terrorist, even though there was literally no way at the time to for anyone outside of that county to know that the little town even existed. The internet of the day wasn’t exactly easily searchable, and most of those little towns didn’t bother making their own website.
There are a lot of other examples of being bad at threat analysis. Like people being more afraid of sharks than jellyfish when at the beach, or being afraid of sharks at all…
I’m sure I could spend the next hour listing things that people are irrationally afraid of and not repeat myself.
I agree with you. But at the time l distinctly recall thinking if they hit just one or two small towns with no high value target, it would send the whole country into outright panic because an attack might hit literally anywhere. It seemed at least somewhat reasonable to think they would switch tactics to an easier target to sow utter chaos. But of course those things take time to plan and execute and they had no way of knowing the aftermath of 9/11 in time to plan followup attacks.
The coordinated attack plan was actually foiled a year earlier. 9/11 was the Hail Mary back-up plan.
The Millennium Attack plots were well planned and coordinated, and were mostly foiled because of it. The plans leaked. (and one plan failed due to the boat sinking with all bombs onboard)
9/11 was the hastily thrown together back-up. Of course they didn’t have anything planned for after it.
But I still doubt they would have bothered with any sort of small town, even if they’d been in a position to attack again.
Because suicide-bombing a cereal factory in Nowhere, Iowa doesn’t make the fucking news across the country. But humans, especially Americans, want to be the center of the universe, and a lot of Americans feel they’re so exceptional that of course their little wide spot in the road is super-important because they have an Army Reserve motor pool 3 miles up the road or whatever.
I’m far more worried about the White Nationalist and Neo-Nazi shitstains living there.
Oh good, if we’re deporting people associated with terror, let’s get rid of all the christofacists too then!
Expel this jackass from Earth.
Fuck outta here with this bullshit.
Its disgusting but I would expect nothing less than someone who served in Trump’s cabinet
I bet $100 the Ryan Zinke is engaging in demagoguery and is making assumptions even he doesn’t believe.
jesus christ the wording on that press release basically equating any palestinian to terrorists
Dip shit.
Fuck Israel.
Why would someone brag about being this big of a bigot?
Sadly, it gets them votes.
What a fucking douchebag.
