Catching up on movies. I saw a heretic this weekend. Give it a strong a minus. I especially enjoyed it when I found out - Spawn Nov 12, 13:21 3

Catching up on phones, I've had my pixel 9 pro xl for a few months now, and love it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 12, 13:19 2

Huckabee for ambassador to Israel. What could go wrong? -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 12:44 9
- I mean historically. Who has supported the Jew more than evangelical Christians? - Jovian Nov 12, 13:06 8
  - Um, about that. The Left Behind crowd is extremely pro Israel. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 13:23 7
    - Bible says Israel good. -- nm - sycor Nov 12, 13:49
    - Which is a very different thing than “supporting the Jews” -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 13:38 1
      - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Nov 12, 13:44
    - I did not know this. I guess I just assumed they only did now because of the proto-fascist they take all their queues from. -- nm - Jovian Nov 12, 13:35 3
      - Their reason for supporting Israel is not because they like Jewish people. It's about the second coming of Jesus and the end times of which Israel is - Krusty Nov 12, 13:44 2
        
        Plus the area of land that is Palestine needs to be Israel instead for this to happen. -- nm - LMS Nov 12, 14:37 1
        
        Yeah, that's another important point. -- nm - Krusty Nov 12, 15:10

FEMA story update - Strongbad Nov 12, 11:52 21
- I think there was enough credibility to the overarching threat of violence from a particular subset of Trump zealots that could influence avoidance - Qale Nov 12, 16:19
- I was a contractor at FEMA, and they're a horrible toxic workplace, but I straight up do not believe this was policy. - loosilu Nov 12, 13:22
- Look forward to more stories like these in the next several years. - Jovian Nov 12, 12:21 4
  - I'm sure there will be very good reasons why you and I are deported. -- nm - Spawn Nov 12, 13:18 3
    - we need some Compound V -- nm - Jovian Nov 12, 13:24
    - Can I deport myself? - Pippy aka Desparada Nov 12, 13:21 1
      - As long as you reach down between your legs and... ease the seat back... -- nm - Spawn Nov 12, 13:24
- Everyone deserves help regardless of political opinions. Was this 'avoidance' based on the stories about (some) Trump supporters pulling guns on FEMA? - ty97 Nov 12, 12:13 8
  - they won't have to worry about it after January when he defunds FEMA entirely -- nm - mr mooch Nov 12, 12:21 1
    - Trump likes people that didn't need help. -- nm - Spawn Nov 12, 13:32
  - I haven't read the documents so I don't know the answer. - Strongbad Nov 12, 12:19
  - Also, I'm having trouble seeing the extrapolation of "this is what my supervisor told me" to "this is FEMA policy". -- nm - pmb Nov 12, 12:19 4
    - Right. Nothing here precludes the possibility that it is still just one shitty employee who misinterpreted their supervisor’s comments - znufrii Nov 12, 12:44 3
      - I agree that's a possibility. Let's see if the story further develops. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 12, 12:51 2
        
        I’m sure MAGAworld won’t let it drop any time soon. -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 12:59 1
        
        OH exactly. My one maga friend I am still talking to. Its quite clear this is what they've waited for. DJT was right!! - Jovian Nov 12, 13:08
- “Avoidance and de-escalation” of what, exactly? - znufrii Nov 12, 12:11 4
  - If it was avoidance of credible threats of violence, I agree with the decision. -- (edited) - Strongbad Nov 12, 12:22 3
    - “Credible threat” seems a high bar for an operational risk assessment, but I think it unlikely in context that the decision was based on partisan bias - znufrii Nov 12, 12:32 2
      - I agree. Leave out credible. Any threat from a property owner should be enough. - Strongbad Nov 12, 12:49 1
        
        I think there’s a lot more gray area than you’re allowing, and people generally try to make the best decisions they can in the moment. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 12, 13:07
Word. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 12, 11:50 9
- I love sol. I love him so much. -- nm - amanda Nov 12, 11:50 8

  - Sol for S50!!!! -- nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 12, 11:55 6
    - I've completely turned around on him from early this season. -- (edited) - Strongbad Nov 12, 11:57 5
      - The one I completely turned around on is Baby Andy...I'd be thrilled if he wins this thing. nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 12, 12:06 4
        
        Eh. He just went from being a useful tool for one group to being a useful tool for another group, but feels like he made a big move. -- nm - Dano Nov 12, 12:30 1
        
        I'm not so sure he's thinking he's with a group as much as he's flying by the seat of his pants. nm (spoils) - Turd Ferguson Nov 12, 12:43
        
        I agree but can't see very many he beats at final 3. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 12, 12:24 1
        
        his path to winning is very precarious. - Jovian Nov 12, 12:32
