RFK Jr. wants to send more bombs to Gaza and he has also contributed to plenty of preventable deaths with his years of spreading antivaccination disinformation.

His remarks on leveling Gaza are in the first result I found when I looked up his stance on Israel: https://www.timesofisrael.com/2024-dark-horse-rfk-jr-questions-gaza-ceasefire-defends-israeli-offensive/

It was in the midst of claiming Venezuela dumped all of its criminals in the US. In Trump’s view Venezuela is safer than the US since America let all the Venezuelan criminals in through that open border.

They also have an article with the highlights for those of us who don’t want to sit through 14 hours of videos.

This is nothing compared to the original Frito burrito. This inferior version came in the era where Taco Bell filled everything halfway with rice to cut down on using ingredients that actually taste good, but cost more.

Taco Bell is its own nostalgic flavor. It’s comfort food and like a lot of comfort food it isn’t amazing, but it is very familiar and accessible. Also there is a wide variance in quality of local burrito shops. Some are amazing and others are underwhelming. Taco Bell is consistent and predictable from one side of the country to the other. What it lacks in soul it makes up in consistency which is nice when you are exhausted and not in the mood to be surprised. When I want good, fresh food with lots of cilantro and peppers I go for the local shops though. Taco Bell factory packets can’t compare to a nice fresh batch of salsa.

You don’t have pico de gallo in your Taco Bell? Come to Texas, we still have it. Only downside is… Texas.

What kind of deranged people are buying bats as ornaments? How disturbing.

They are already claiming she shouldn’t be eligible because she has no children of her own, only step children. No guy ever has been told he should be ineligible for office over not having children.

August was always the planned date of the Democratic convention when a nomination becomes official, it hasn’t been postponed.

People have been spreading rumors that there is pressure for Biden to step down ever since his underwhelming debate performance. There is nothing remotely official about him actually planning to step down.

This was pretty much exactly how it sounds. People in financial trouble sell their house to the lender with an agreement to rent it from the lender and keep living there, then the lender jacks up the rent and they get evicted and the house is sold. After fees and everything else they may not get to keep much of the equity from the house sale and potentially could lose all equity and end up owing the lender. As tenants they don’t have all the legal protections a homeowner in foreclosure would have. The lender claims all its customers know what they are getting into.

Wind turbines generate the most energy at night, they actually complement solar quite well.

The question then becomes how well does this work in place of traditional plastics? Does it have the same strength and water resistance? It needs to hold up to moisture in order to be used for takeout. If food partially breaks it down, people will be ingesting it so toxicity is also a concern. It will be interesting to see where this goes. Even if it can only replace shopping bags, that will still be a huge improvement. So many bags blow away in the wind and I live in an area that made it illegal for cities to ban single use shopping bags.

People outside of the US probably don’t know about the train wreck in Ohio. It never hurts to add a little clarification.

The ones who are in congress are the ones who are good at successfully navigating this system of campaigning. They don’t want to level the playing field for opponents who don’t have a strong network of rich donors ready to boost them.

The white nationalists have been turning on the guy in the right in that photo, Jake Shields, because they found out he has mixed ethnicity and decided he isn’t white enough for them. Their movement is such a mess.

Well this is a whole community that messed up. His church knew his past and decided to still put him in positions of trust and authority. They could’ve had him do work as a church landscaper or some other non-leadership role if they wanted to still keep him gainfully employed while going through treatment for his issues. Nobody forced the rest of the church leadership to keep him as a minister and pastor when they knew he was capable of abusing a young child for years on end. It is also the responsibility of pedophiles to not put themselves in positions where they have access to children. They might not be able to help their urges, but they can choose not to work around children or share a home with children. There are lots of jobs where children aren’t involved.

Some people have an early growth spurt and people get held back a year sometimes to repeat a grade. The size of the child isn’t relevant here, it is still wrong to choke anybody.

It varies from state to state. In Virginia a life sentence is 60 years while in Montana it is 10 years.

I spent my high school years as a newly born again Christian in the Bible Belt, so I would’ve been the weirdo who loved something like this. This was definitely not a thing where I grew up. It is so weird to think of LA being a religious indoctrination hotbed, that is not something I expected.
