Even then, they won't stop, they'll play the victim after shooting the guy. If you shoot back, even if you didn't know they were police or federal agents you'll still get prosecuted.

It could actually stop the war, as it's widely speculated that Netanyahu keeps escalating just to delay that trial.

Makes no sense to me. You're the opposition party so if you all vote for it, it's not going to pass anyway. Just vote for it as a signal to voters that you do care. If you can do that song and dance for the minimum wage, why can't you do it for this?

And yet some on here will scold people who couldn't bring themselves to vote for Harris. The ratchet effect will continue until the Democrats change.

Oof, I hope he doesn't break the norm of Presidents doing press conferences clothed, I don't think I'd recover if he did a nude one.

His obsession with the Nobel peace price is really what's driving all this. He's been willing to do deals nobody else would make just to get that recognition, and it's ironically inflaming more conflict.
