Bill Maher recognizes the Emperors clothing

T o me it says Biden knows he is losing because otherwise he would not have agreed to a debate. Only the loser wants to debate.
Trump wanted to debate too, and had been speaking about it for months. So what conclusion would you draw from that?

Though I do like the scene where Jude Law joins the Basterds in a tavern and gives away their identity by...

Fuck me. Again.

Wasting time on YouTube yesterday, I watched the opening scene from Inglourius Basterds again, and was again struck with how nearly perfect the scene was. The writing, the acting, the reveal of the hiding family, the build up of tension, the homage to The Searchers near the end - except while Ethan Edwards turns his back on the civilized world to live forever as an outsider, Shoshanna runs from it in fucking terror. All first rate. And then Landa pulls out that ridiculous pipe and I am reminded that this great scene is appended to a fucking revenge fantasy cartoon. The scene deserves a movie that takes it seriously, not some hipster film buff jacking off. It is a great scene, jarring sudden comic relief inserted when the movie should keep building tension aside, but FUCK THAT MOVIE.

So what is worse? That Justice Alito, who has routinely given the middle finger to the idea the SCOTUS judges should avoid even the appearance of bias, flew his flag upside down in support of Trump's claim the election was stolen at the same time he was advocating that the court take up election cases or that, having been caught out, he threw his wife under the bus?
LOL.
You copy that from a DNC news release.
No response on the merits I see. Because it is indefensible.

Going back in time to strangle Gavrillo Princip in his crib. Which is more workable than yours.
A laughable redirection of the argument.
Only if you want to ignore history and the historical context of what is happening in Israel and Palestine. Which is convenient for you.
Hardly. Your selective use of historical facts cannot make the Arabs the good guys, if you will.
The partition of Palestine was a political decision by world leaders after World War Two.
The Arabs have bitterly disagreed but by choosing violence to protest have made Israel into a world power out of its  need to survive.
Now as more Arab nations seek more peaceful solutions comes Hamas, with no allies, save Iran.
Their tactics have guaranteed the deaths of its own citizens, many of which are deliberately used as targets  so as to engender world sympathy.
Hamas is evil. Arabs shun it. Israel, as it has done for 75 years, will  do what it needs to survive.
I am not arguing anyone is a good guy. Not after 76 years of eye for eye.
A complete distortion of history.  Israel has always been willing to coexist with people who agree not to live in peace.
Yes, provided they leave like you advocate and let Israel control all of Palestine from the river to the sea, just like Ben Gurion envisioned.
I don
Your gay apparel?

He is fat and his name is Albert. And I first called him that after the Bodega affair.
As did many others.

Alvin.  Not Albert. 

Funny how quick you are to loftily lament name-calling by other  members here and yet so proud of yourself when you do it.
And your point is what?
That you are quick to loftily lament name-calling by other  members here and yet so proud of yourself when you do it. Because you do not really object to the name calling you just find it convenient to raise when you are cornered.

I am not arguing anyone is a good guy. Not after 76 years of eye for eye. I am saying the UN ignoring the right to self-determination for the Palestinians has created an untenable situation.  And Israelis are about as far from blameless as the Palestinians are.

And my sympathies are with the Palestinians, not Hamas. I just do not think that removing them from the playing field would result in a just solution,  but rather one where the just grievances of the Palestinians continue to be ignored. Those grievances will rise again, and violently, if they continue to be ignored. If people are not heard in a political way, they find another way. It is what happens to a dream deferred.

With 18 per cent inflation, tossing favors Willynilly to his voting base, a foreign policy worse than Obama, he better hope Fat Albert delivers a guilty verdict in New York or Biden will be a one timer. 

Not content with just voting for Trump, Red is now parroting Trump's "brutal" insults.
Bragg wore the meme long before Trump used it.
And it is hardly a racial epithet.
The original Fat Albert was a Bill Cosby created cartoon character that was very popular with his friends, one of whom was called Dumb Donald.imagine that.
But your post is typical of you. You stand for nothing so nothing you say is believable.
So you complete your garbage with lies .
That way you can ignore facts which are inconvenient for you.
Yeah, it is an insult you unveiled here the day after Trump unveiled it in a speech in New Jersey. That is a fact you ignore because it is inconvenient for you.

November 29, 1947: The UN General Assembly passes UN Resolution 181, which calls for the partition of Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state.

November 30, 1947: Palestinian Arabs ambush a bus carrying Jewish passengers near Lod (Lydda), an attack often cited as the start of the civil war in Palestine.

December 2, 1947: The Arab Higher Committee, the leading organizer of the Palestinian Arab nationalist movement in Jerusalem, announces a three-day strike against the partition plan. Riots break out in the city, and violence between Arabs and Jews escalates.

Well there you go.
Simple really.
If only...
Oh well, they didn't, so the wars began.
If only what? They had agreed to having the UN take their and and divide it up in clear violation of the UN"s stated principle of self-determination and which dispossessed their people of their lands and homes? Palestinians were 60% of the population and owned 90% of the land, and were being forced from half of it. Of COURSE they fucking objected. So would you. And despite the 76 years sine the partition, you would still be pissed about it to this day.

And about Israel's acceptance of the mandate?

"I see in the realization of this plan practically the decisive stage in the beginning of fl redemption and the most wonderful lever for the gradual conquest of all of Palestine.

- David Ben Gurion.

That was in reference to an earlier plan of partition (from the League of Nations, in a Resolution that referred to the 90% of the population of Palestine as the "existing non-Jewish population" which shows that disregarding the humanity of Palestinians did not begin with bigots and haters like you) but the Palestinians fully knew that Zionist leadership wanted a Jewish state that encompassed all of Palestine, "from the river to the sea" as some would phrase it.

Greenland is a nice place to celebrate Passover and Chanukah, kibbutz ready and close to North American and European markets.
Or Sitka. I really wish the Coens had gone through with making that movie.
