Biden gives Ukraine permission to carry out limited strikes within Russia using US weapons
  • DarkGamer DarkGamer 5mo ago 100%

    Today they have something like 7 minutes to decide whether to launch a retaliatory strike if missiles are en route if recall correctly, 12 hours seems like a luxury.

  • DarkGamer DarkGamer 5mo ago 100%

    Yes, and there's precedent that he can still run even if he's imprisoned.

    Trump is undoubtedly bad for the US, like a brexit that only lasts 4 years, (hopefully.) He destroys our international credibility and will leave an indelible scar on our international relationships.

    However, this statement doesn't make sense:

    I like Trump, Biden's gonna support Israel and all sorts of other enemies to us and so fuck him, we like Trump.

    Trump will give Israel a blank check, and he'll probably want to push the missile launch buttons himself if given the opportunity. He even recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

    Oh, I forgor, the United Nations is Hamas now.

    Oh no don't forgor. They're not Hamas but they do exhibit significant anti-Israel bias.

    Three countries were on said commission of inquiry:

    Navi Pillay (South Africa), serves as chair, Miloon Kothari (India) and Chris Sidoti (Australia) serve as members of the commission

    Many more opposed their methods and conclusions:

    June 2023, United States and Israel joined 25 countries in condemning the open-ended nature of the UN investigation and "the long-standing disproportionate attention given to Israel in the council."

    But that's the UN for you, lots of scrutiny and condemnation of Israel, not a peep when Jews are ethnically cleansed from neighboring countries.

    Sorry to invade your echo chamber with dissent. It must pain you to be reminded that not everyone agrees with you, that must be so hard for you.

    an occupying nation like Israel can not claim self defense when attacked

    Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. A blockade is not an occupation.

    The National Labor Relations Board released its most important ruling in many decades. In a party-line decision in Cemex Construction Materials Pacific, LLC, the Board ruled that when a majority of a company’s employees file union affiliation cards, the employer can either voluntarily recognize their union or, if not, ask the Board to run a union recognition election. If, in the run-up to or during that election, the employer commits an unfair labor practice, such as illegally firing pro-union workers (which has become routine in nearly every such election over the past 40 years, as the penalties have been negligible), the Board will order the employer to recognize the union and enter forthwith into bargaining. The Cemex decision was preceded by another, one day earlier, in which the Board, also along party lines, set out rules for representation elections which required them to be held promptly after the Board had been asked to conduct them, curtailing employers’ ability to delay them, often indefinitely. Taken together, this one-two punch effectively makes union organizing possible again, after decades in which unpunished employer illegality was the most decisive factor in reducing the nation’s rate of private-sector unionization from roughly 35 percent to the bare 6 percent at which it stands today.
