    i read this morning that cuomo has stated he will join netanyahu's defense team, while mamdani said he would have bibi arrested if he is ever in new york.

    there is no clearer choice.

    if people want this to continue vote cuomo. if they want it to end, vote mamdani.

    They’re  aren’t enough crayons in the world to explain how that’s a bad idea, perhaps it’s the least thought out comment in the history of the internet. 

    A mayor enforcing a court the USA doesn’t recognize and violate a leaders immunity…mamdanis freedom and political  movement would end on the spot. 

    So maybe it’s an ok idea.

    If Mamdani violates diplomatic immunity he’d be in jail faster than it took to formulate that gibberish…even Not With It Joe would allow that nonsense from happening. It shows what a juvenille idiot mamdani is.


    Plus he’ll be too busy screwing up the once greatest economy in the world with his free giveaways. Maybe Matty can come defend that comment. He’s been defending the indefensible a lot lately.
    i stand by my post. i don't care if you like it or not.

    if you don't like it, it tells me i must be correct.

    You've misunderstood. I think it's hysterical. I think it's very representative of the fact Democrats have lost their way to understand basic facts


    And that stunt would only end up getting mamdany in jail.

    And possibly the UN if not them...all its diplomats and consulates and embassies leave nyc & the United States.

    How's that going to help your economy as you look to win elections next year and in 2028?

    Pure genius
    did ai type that?

    look, there is a warrant for bibi. if he goes to new york and is not arrested, americans are complicit in aiding and abetting him.

    i know nobody in america gives a fuck about the rule of law anymore, but hey, let's just stand idly by and contribute to lawlessness via inaction.

    miss me with your input on this. 
    The US is one of all the rouge states in the world who doesn’t support the ICC. If you are talking about the ICC. 

    Rogue state lol. I guess you risked everything for that evening stroll along the pacific
    ....


    The United States does not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and, therefore, does not officially recognize or enforce its arrest warrants.

    Here's a breakdown of the key reasons and the U.S. position:

     * Not a State Party: The United States is not a party to the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the ICC. While the Clinton administration signed the treaty in 2000, the Bush administration later "unsigned" it, stating that the U.S. would not ratify the agreement. As a result, the U.S. does not have a legal obligation to cooperate with the court.

    Is the AI itself "knowledge"?

     * Argument for "Yes": The AI, as a system, embodies a form of knowledge. It's not just the data, but the intricate web of connections and algorithms that allows it to process and generate new information. The model's architecture, its weights and biases, represent a distilled and highly efficient form of the knowledge it has been trained on. It's a new kind of "knowledge system."

     * Argument for "No": The AI is a tool, a sophisticated piece of software. It's a means to an end, not an end in itself. The knowledge is the information it provides, not the system itself. We don't consider a library's card catalog to be "knowledge," but rather a tool to access knowledge.

    The humanitarian situation in Gaza, which was already dire, deteriorated even further in July, with 63 people, including 25 children, dying from malnutrition-related causes, according to the World Health Organization. As more reports and images of emaciated children emerge from Gaza, close Israeli allies, such as France and the United Kingdom, have issued harsh critiques, calling the current humanitarian situation “a catastrophe.” On Monday, even President Trump acknowledged that children were going hungry.

    Amit Segal, the chief political correspondent for Israel’s Channel 12, is widely considered one of the country’s most influential journalists. He is also a prominent defender of the Benjamin Netanyahu government. Last week, he wrote a piece for the Free Press in which he said that “Gaza may well be approaching a real hunger crisis.” He also wrote that without Hamas’s “gleeful hoarding of food,” Gaza “would not be facing the current food shortage.” In a conversation with Isaac Chotiner, Segal discusses his wavering opinion on whether there is hunger in Gaza, and the rise of the extreme right in the Israeli government. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/kG1qPQ

    Guess he’s anti-Semitic as well.

    Israeli author David Grossman says his country is committing genocide in Gaza

    Writer says for many years he has refused to use word but now must ‘with immense pain and with a broken heart’

    The award-winning Israeli author David Grossman has described his country’s campaign in Gaza as a genocide and said he now “can’t help” but use the term.

    “I ask myself: how did we get here?” the celebrated writer and peace activist told the Italian daily La Repubblica in an interview published on Friday.

    “How did we come to be accused of genocide? Just uttering that word – ‘genocide’ – in reference to Israel, to the Jewish people, that alone, the fact that this association can even be made, should be enough to tell us that something very wrong is happening to us.”

    Grossman said that for many years he had refused to use the term. “But now I can’t help myself – not after what I’ve read in the papers, not after the images I’ve seen, not after speaking with people who’ve been there. This word is an avalanche: once you say it, it just gets bigger, like an avalanche. And it adds even more destruction and suffering,” he said.

    Grossman’s comments come days after two major Israeli rights groups said Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, amid growing global alarm over starvation in the besieged territory.

    The author, who has long been a critic of the Israeli government, told La Repubblica he was using the word “with immense pain and with a broken heart”.

    Israeli author David Grossman says his country is committing genocide in Gaza

    Writer says for many years he has refused to use word but now must ‘with immense pain and with a broken heart’

    The award-winning Israeli author David Grossman has described his country’s campaign in Gaza as a genocide and said he now “can’t help” but use the term.

    “I ask myself: how did we get here?” the celebrated writer and peace activist told the Italian daily La Repubblica in an interview published on Friday.

    “How did we come to be accused of genocide? Just uttering that word – ‘genocide’ – in reference to Israel, to the Jewish people, that alone, the fact that this association can even be made, should be enough to tell us that something very wrong is happening to us.”

    Grossman said that for many years he had refused to use the term. “But now I can’t help myself – not after what I’ve read in the papers, not after the images I’ve seen, not after speaking with people who’ve been there. This word is an avalanche: once you say it, it just gets bigger, like an avalanche. And it adds even more destruction and suffering,” he said.

    Grossman’s comments come days after two major Israeli rights groups said Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, amid growing global alarm over starvation in the besieged territory.

    The author, who has long been a critic of the Israeli government, told La Repubblica he was using the word “with immense pain and with a broken heart”.

    This only proves ultra leftists that can’t win important elections also exist in Israel. I actually agree with Mr Grossman with a two state solution. Unfortunately the big H has not offered that to end this war. And by invading , Hamas made Netanyahu more popular with voters.

    So is anything counter to the Israel propaganda machine Hamas propaganda?  This is so ridiculous.  It's like the ol GWB quote you're either with us or with the terrorists.  Last I checked the center was where there was a grey area where compromises and solutions could be reached.  Hamas and Israel both seem to see their side of the conflict through an extremist black and white lens.  Both sides can be wrong.  Hamas can be condemned at the same time as Israel.

    not. It came down to about 2m votes or 1.5% of voters.

    Thats not a "solid" win.



    2m votes and swept every swing state??


    ..

    Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election was considered solid for several reasons. He won both the Electoral College and the national popular vote, a notable achievement as it was the first time he had won the popular vote. He secured 312 electoral votes to Kamala Harris's 226.


    A key factor in his success was flipping several states that had gone to the Democratic candidate in 2020. These included Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. This shift in key swing states was a decisive factor in his Electoral College victory.


    The election results also showed that Trump's support grew across a diverse range of demographics and regions. According to analyses, he saw gains in his vote share in a vast majority of counties nationwide, and his support increased among men, as well as with Black, Hispanic, and Asian voters. This expansion of his voter coalition contributed to the overall strength of his win.

    Trump, for the third time, failed to win a majority of the votes cast. All three times he has run, more people voted against Trump than voted for him.

    Of course, you don't need a majority of votes cast to win (only a majority of electoral votes) and, whether you win by a single electoral vote or with twenty million more popular votes, you get all the power of the office in either event. So "solid" is in the eye of the beholder; a win is a win. But, after winning an election with a plurality, a reasonable politician would recognize that they lacked widespread support and would attempt to govern in a way that might appeal to a broader coalition because it would generally be in their and their party's political interests to do so. But Trump's not a reasonable politician. He only cares about himself and his personal grievances, and he governs accordingly (if you can even call it governing).
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.
