    I’m pretty sure the perpetrators of those random attacks would say they are in an active war. I also don’t think the family members of the dead Gazans think that Israel’s killing techniques are more moral.

    By rough count, that is about 4,000 dead - which is less than 10% of the deaths Israel has caused in Gaza in less than two years. So if we are going by body counts, Israel is way ahead.

    The Californians want the SALT. We have a silly passive income workaround right now for business owners. But with the high property tax and state income tax, the SALT cap hits pretty hard out here - especially given that $200k is middle class.

    Wait. Are you saying that Duke and NC State are morally identical? Like no difference between them? I mean, I guess that is theoretically possible but I don't really believe it. The idea that you can find not even a slight moral difference between State and Duke, when Duke is so obviously...

    Politics How will a Trump presidency affect you?

    1. No. 2. Approved by whom? 3. And even when 1 & 2 is not an issue, do you think the Executive Branch has the power (or should have the power) to eliminate a lawful agency without Congressional approval?

    Politics How will a Trump presidency affect you?

    Setting aside your curious use of the term "facts," why does the "mess" require "drastic" action?
