California (and every other place) need Ranked Choice Voting.

No foreign national is ever going to trust America's promises ever again, and I can't blame them.

This is a good statement.

No matter how stupid and evil you think the MAGA chuds running the government are, I promise you: the truth is so much more stupid and evil.

Trump threatens to send JD Vance to Iran to campaign for the new Ayatollah.

This is not a nefarious conspiracy. Google is free for consumers and supported by advertisers. A natural consequence of this model is that the interests of advertisers are favored. Are consumers willing to pay for a consumer-favoring version of Google?

But what they wrote is new to THEM and they are excited to share their newfound knowledge. Papers get increasingly more streamlined and less pedagogical as researchers age.

All the "run government like a business" ppl finally got what they wanted and are now learning why thousands of businesses close annually and the government has lasted 237 years.

Didn't Trump just repeated call for Iranians to take up arms against their own government?

This actually works.

True independent thinkers don't change their clocks just because everyone else does. I will do my own research and determine what time it is

And the answer is to BAN it?

Ok, I am glad to hear it. Most people (not you) write/speak/post as though Israel was the only state favoring a religion.

I did not say that. But I am glad to hear that you are consistent and I will assume that you criticize all countries which mandate racial or religious discrimination.

And other countries give special privileges to Christianity or to Hinduism. I'm not claiming that these countries are necessarily democracies, but one should keep this in mind. Some people seem to think that (or post as though) Israel is the only country with a state or official religion.

The Saudi Arabian constitution IS the Qur’an and Sunnah. Afghanistan, Iran, Mauritania, Pakistan define themselves as Islamic states. In Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Qatar, Yemen, Brunei, Sudan, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritania, conversion from Islam is a criminal (sometimes capital) offense.

These countries' constitutions name Islam as the state religion: Afghanistan, Iran, Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, UAE, Yemen, Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, Comoros, Mauritania, Somalia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Malaysia, Maldives, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia.

You are right that I used the word "rebuttal" too loosely.

Report: Pentagon Eyes Defending “Armageddon” Briefings Religious-freedom group claims a Pentagon source reports some are defending the briefings as personal speech

On the other hand, this jonathanlarsen.substack.com/p/report-pen... seems to indicate the reports might be true as originally reported, with little or no exaggeration.

I did read it before posting. No, it's not a rebuttal, but it expresses skepticism, saying that a thinly and repetitively sourced exposé might be exaggerated and that if it were to be debunked, it would harm our cause. It questions why only this single journalist was contacted by so many.

Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for "Armageddon," read this The narrative is dramatic. The sourcing is thin. And skepticism matters, especially on something this serious.

But here is a rebuttal. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/before-you...

As in France, where the two ruling parties from 1960-2017 of the left (Hollande, Mitterand, ...) and right (Chirac, Sarkozy, Pompidou, ...) have been replaced by two other parties: the extreme right (Le Pen, Bardella) and the center (Macron).
