However, it must be remembered that there MAY be a Marxist hiding in your hall closet. However, it must be remembered that Oklahoma City MAY be wiped out by a meteor next year. However, it must be remembered that the Democrats MAY nominate Kim Jong Un to be their presidential candidate in 2024. All are approximately as likely as any of those pictured designs getting accepted as the official state flag of Minnesota.

LOL, who cares. It’s a design contest. Anyone can submit anything. Doesn’t mean the submission will be chosen for the final design. Sheesh. And the current design is pretty awful. It's what's referred to in the flag community as a SOB: (state) seal on blue (background). The most common state flag design of all. Totally unoriginal. The best flags are relatively simple, often geometric, designs. Think NM, TX, CO, etc. UT just retired their losing SOB flag. MN should, too.

Barack Obama and Bill Gates, Leninists and Maoists? And Tailgunner Joe believed that Ike was either a Communist or a useful idiot for Communism. Both are/were nucking futs.

I became aware of this in my college years, when I once struck up a conversation with a Palestinian exchange student. His family were refugees that had resettled in Kuwait. I expected to hear praises of Arab solidarity. Instead, I heard stories of how Kuwait discriminated against and oppressed its Palestinian population.

It's totally baseless. Nobody was willing to testify under penalty of perjury for any degree of fraud sufficient enough to change the results.

Stein never insisted she was president, either. She did pay for a recount (IIRC in Wisconsin), but that is not the same as baselessly insisting you won.

39.0˚F.

Sorry, no. Hillary did not refuse to concede and insist she was the rightfully-elected president.

That's not terrorism, that's a disruptive protest tactic.

All aboard the Drought Express!

0.57" storm total, 0.23" since midnight. 6.02" for the month so far.

Raining hard. 0.25" in the last hour or so.

Trees are pretty bare here. Storm a week ago did a good job of stripping them.

I don't think he had to explicitly call for rioting in order to incite the rioting. All he had to do was to lie and claim the election was stolen from him. Which he did. Because if it really was stolen, rioting would be deserved.

Low of 33.4˚F with some light frost IMBY this morning.

So Old Testament justice, then? Is that your standard now?

From a time when evangelical Christians opposed those who called their opponents "vermin."

Well, they actually did find some. But only a little bit, an amount completely consistent with what one would expect to find at a hospital in a war zone. (A hospital in a war zone can be expected to be receiving combat casualties, some of whom will have military hardware on them. That materiel will end up being stored at the hospital until someone stops by to collect it.) I have not seen any pictures of anything remotely resembling a major command centre as Israel was alleging.

I will repeat myself: so far, nothing that has come from that hospital is consistent with it being anything but a hospital. What is happening at tunnels someplace else is irrelevant to what is happening at the hospital.

Well, who knows, perhaps some actual damning evidence of an actual command centre under al-Shifa Hospital is about to drop. But as of right now, all the best available evidence is consistent with it being a just a hospital and nothing more.

I have no idea who this “pharma bro” is but Trump himself used the term “vermin” twice recently.

Moving the goalposts. “Willing to steal” and actually stealing are two different things. Look, Hamas is, in general, terrible. No disagreement there. But stealing everything is unlikely for two reasons: The humanitarian agencies donating the aid would report it to the international media, thus damaging Hamas' credibility abroad. Starving civilians would damage Hamas' credibility internally. It is to Hamas' advantage that at least some aid get to civilians.

ALL? Get real.
