1·4 hours agoIt’s 20% of people who cast valid ballots skipping those lines.
So they chose to vote for other things on the ballot, but skipped voting for mayor and city council, meaning they chose not to participate there.
In a state that regularly sees 60+% and 70+% participation, yeah, 20% skipping those lines is a big chunk. I don’t think we have final turnout numbers yet.
Clearly you are faking your outrage if you can’t spell “palestinian”. You’re rumbled. Banned for trolling.
No thanks, I already got one!
They send Israel weapons to defend themselves from attack by hostile forces. Israel has the right to do that.
If you want to blame Netanyahu for misappropriating defense supplies, that’s absolutely fair, but that’s NOT why Israel is being supplied.

“Let me be clear, I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself,” she said tonight. She said that Israelis should “never again” go through the horror and “unspeakable” attacks of Oct. 7.
“At the same time what has happened in Gaza in the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives lost. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking,”
None of this is supporting genocide in any way, shape, or form. If you believe it is, please supply a source showing Biden or Harris giving free reign for Israel to do what they want.
You know, like this:

“They’re losing the PR war. They’re losing it big. But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”
Oh, wait, no, that’s Trump.

Books are a little different because of the shared* language.
*except Québec.
Scene from “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare”, which is just incredibly entertaining…
But get this… As completely, improbably, unbelievable as the events are, they’re based on a true story… AND… in the true story? Nobody got killed.
(Insert Guy Ritchie and Jerry Bruckheimer going “WHERE’S THE FUN IN THAT??!?!!”)

Why… it seems like it was just yesterday…
That would also require Trump to be competent and while he’s a great many things, that is one thing he will never be.
Weird how repeatedly calling for an immediate cease fire and a two state solution in Israel = “lil genocide”.

“Monday’s meeting in Washington, D.C., comes one day after Harris called for an immediate, temporary cease-fire in Gaza to facilitate an exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners and detainees. Harris is expected to continue pressing Israel to pause the fighting and allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza.”

“Vice President Kamala Harris met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in private Thursday and followed it with a strikingly forceful call on his government to get a cease-fire deal done and ease the suffering of civilians in Gaza.”
“Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated her call for a ceasefire-for-hostage deal in Gaza while expressing sympathy for both Israelis and Palestinians affected by the conflict. Harris condemned the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on southern Israel but said “far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed” by Israel’s ongoing military offensive in Gaza.”
Do you get something out of mis-representing what she said and did? Or were you just not actually paying attention?

Still worth it.

Post election searches are the best:
“What is the EU?”
“What is Brexit?”
They haven’t found treasure, but what they have found is still interesting from a history perspective.
Last season they dug up the “U-shaped structure” buried under Smith’s Cove.
The large log beams marked with Roman numerals sure seems mysterious… but the best explanation seems to be a barn that blew off another island in a storm and washed up on Oak Island:

It’s an interesting story… but then I also grew up with the stories about Fort Vancouver which is under constant excavation with no expectation of finding treasure:
