Trump is right. Democrats would absolutely try to fill the seat, and it's silly to pretend otherwise. And Republicans would equally complain about the process. The voters had their say when they voted in 2016 and 2018. #Debate2020
Trump is also correct that Biden has no idea what will happen on abortion with SCOTUS or how Barrett will rule. Suggesting millions will lose their health insurance is just fear-mongering. #Debate2020
Forgetting Trump's trolling, it's indefensible that Biden won't take a position now on an idea (packing the courts) being actively promoted by leaders within his own party. #Debates2020
Trump's pressure is irrelevant. It's irresponsible for the Biden camp to suggest that the vaccine will not be safe or that there are shortcuts being taken related to the vaccine. #DemDebate2020

Here is AFT President Randi Weingarten, the person many would argue was most responsible for keeping schools closed during Covid, cheering on this pick.
This stuff is legitimately hilarious because it shows how little these guys know about anything.
Putting aside that Sinwar’s main combat experience is just murdering innocent people who couldn’t fight back and he died while trying to run away after hiding like a rat in tunnels behind women, children, and hostages…
Netanyahu didn’t just serve in the IDF, he was a captain in an elite unit that was injured in actual combat several times. Including when he was shot in the shoulder during the raid to take out the Black September terrorists who hijacked flight 571. He was one of 16 commandos who dressed as airline mechanics and took out the hostage takers during that raid. Whatever else you think about him, he was a legit badass who has the medals and scars to prove it.
Everything is an alternate reality. This guy would be afraid of blood while the guy who hid behind women and children, and literally was caught with money and fake documents near the border, was a brave fighter.
As a side note, Netanyahu’s brother was later the sole Israeli military casualty of the Entebbe rescue.
A hundred Israeli commandos flew to Uganda to rescue passengers on another hijacked flight.
They rescued 102 passengers after taking out all of the terrorist hijackers and 45 Ugandan soldiers.
The Chuck Norris Delta Force movie was partially based on that operation.
So just to clarify because I think it’s important to note:
The indictment alleges that the founders of the company, Lauren Chen and her husband, intentionally deceived the influencers mentioned below (seemingly Dave Rubin and Tim Pool) regarding the source of the funding.
“Founder 1” is Lauren Chen, who gained these contacts when she worked for RT between March 2021 and Feb 2022.
When they were trying to sign the influencers who recognized some red flags, the fake person they sold as the main investor in France set up a meeting but mistakenly tried to show up to it at the Moscow time for meeting. Then googled the time in Paris.
There has been a lot of discussion about whether Israel, a country w a nearly 20% Arab population with full legal rights, is an "apartheid" state.
But the accusation often comes from supporters of surrounding states and territories. So let’s look at some of those for comparison:
Saudi Arabia:
Religious rights- Saudi legal system based on Sharia law. All forms of public religious worship outside Sunni Islam are considered illegal. Converting from Islam is punishable by death. Christians and Jews cannot build places of worship.
Women’s rights- Women must obtain permission from a male guardian for most actions.
LGBT- Homosexuality is a criminal offense.
Qatar:
Religious rights- Qatar’s legal system is based on Sharia law. All forms of public religious worship outside Islam are considered illegal. Building non-Muslim places of worship is severely restricted.
Women’s rights- Women must obtain permission from a male guardian for most actions.
So let's talk about a story that didn't get sufficient coverage from a few years ago and why it is still relevant today.
The below security footage likely saved Armaan Premjee's life.
In 2017, Premjee was a normal USC student who went out to the bar for a night of drinking. He met another USC student there. He went back to her dorm and slept with her. Something rather common at college campuses.
But after her friends discovered them and she got alcohol poisoning, the girl claimed she had no recollection of the events and claimed she must have been raped. The police arrested and charged Arman under the theory that the girl had been too drunk to consent.
Lucky for Armaan, there was security footage that showed the girl initiating the sexual encounter and signaling to her friend outside the bar that she wanted to have sex with him. After seeing the video, the judge in the case dismissed it.
But that’s not all there is to the story…
USC’s Office of Equity and Diversity did its own hearing & expelled Armaan despite the footage. In addition to ignoring the video, USC did not allow Armaan’s lawyer to speak at the hearing.
At the time, Obama-era Title IX rules which limited due process rights were in place.
Vice President Selina Meyer: “It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day. Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down”
“We will work together, and continue to work together, to address these issues, to tackle these challenges, and to work together as we continue to work operating from the new norms, rules, and agreements, that we will convene to work together..”
