Idk if anyone had a similar problem before, but I live in EU by the countryside, at first there were only a few but now it happens more and more often to see drones passing over my house, I am sure they are civilian drones because law enforcement has no reason to use them since the area is quiet (and honestly I doubt they would...
I saw a Hannity clip where he’s now moved from “Joe Biden was on coke during the SOTU speech” to “maybe it was a caffeine pill”. These nut jobs are getting their pants twisted over a completely imaginary scenario where the president takes caffeine…
We need to stop using the term “assault weapon” and commit to being specific. Ban mags over 10 rounds, restrict barrel lengths and calibers, implement a fucking license system, but stop calling for “assault weapon” bans.
That’s what leads to the situation up here in Canada, where guns are restricted based on how they look and not their killing potential.
I can clearly imagine the response from the Trumpers:
“Biden WANTED to convict his son so he could make it SEEM like the justice system is fair, when really its all RIGGED!!!”
The conspiracy mind is hard to crack, and while I like seeing a fair an impartial system at work I don’t think it will actually sway many people who think it’s corrupt.
There are plenty of Conservatives who aren’t voting for Trump, they just get drowned out by the extremely loud cultists. Just look up Republicans against Trump.

There have been massive anti-government protests in Israel, you just aren’t paying attention. I’m sure Palestinians in Gaza would protest Hamas if they weren’t busy trying to feed their families.
Good. I’d rather not open our already overwhelmed healthcare system to people who aren’t paying into it and aren’t even citizens or permanent residents.
A conservative plan for Donald Trump’s potential transition into the presidency calls for dozens of prisoners to be executed, according to HuffPost.

13% of democrats submitted a protest vote. That is not the same as refusing to vote for Biden in November. I hope that anyone who supports the Palestinian cause can recognize just how much worse it will get under a Trump administration.

I don’t believe that we are finding the Israeli healthcare system. I’m pretty sure all of our aid recently has been humanitarian assistance but I’m open to being proven wrong.
Fascists tend to use anti-authority sentiment to support their own rise to power. “I’m taking power from the bad people and using it to help you!” kind of thing.
