Yes and no. This $3.8 billion is just what Israel gets in a standard year. There is another bill for extraordinary expenditure which includes both Israeli and Ukrainian aid. I think that has something like $14bn earmarked for Israel.So, dems caved on Israel, and got nothing for Ukraine? Shame on them.
You are correct. But if US would be truthful wanting a ceasefire, would not approve the 14bn nor the 3.8bn. US had been funding UNRWA for years and they stop at the minimal accusation to have a few people working by HamasYes and no. This $3.8 billion is just what Israel gets in a standard year.

I think they've got a majority of 4 once he leaves (217-213). There's also a special election that Dems are favoured to win. So 217-214. This means GOP can only afford to lose one vote when trying to pass legislation (assuming a united Democratic caucus)..They now have a majority of only one.
That face... I've seen it before... trying to locate in what... a dream, a movie, a commercial... ah!
I'd say majority of the followers of the TP moved further right to Trumpism, pulling many of the TP politicians as well.You wonder if the whole movement unravels without Trump though. Remember the tea party, what happened to them?
Easy way to confirm, who's got a Slim Whitman track?That face... I've seen it before... trying to locate in what... a dream, a movie, a commercial... ah!

And what they have uncovered is that Leonard Leo has connected these very conservative, wealthy individuals to Supreme Court justices, and then they give money to his causes.
His invisible hand is quite influential.This Leonard Leo fella seems influential.

As RFK Jr.’s running mate I am sure her reasoning is bonkers, but I do think that discussions around IVF would be valuable to raise awareness. We’ve come leaps and bounds but there is still an increased rate of developmental and cognitive issues in babies conceived via IVF. This is not to argue in any way against IVF, just to point out the importance of genetic counseling as part of a wholistic process.Tweet

What a disgrace she is, bowing down to MAGA forces in her district just to get reelected. Fortunately, her vote won't matter as if Johnson brings the bill to the floor there are more than enough Democrats and Republicans who will vote for it.Talk about being a double traitor to her country and to her own blood, you cannot find a worse case than this woman.

Can you elaborateAs RFK Jr.’s running mate I am sure her reasoning is bonkers, but I do think that discussions around IVF would be valuable to raise awareness. We’ve come leaps and bounds but there is still an increased rate of developmental and cognitive issues in babies conceived via IVF. This is not to argue in any way against IVF, just to point out the importance of genetic counseling as part of a wholistic process.
In brief, the main factors in IVF success are egg quantity and quality, both of which decrease with age. There are not really any tests to monitor egg quality, but there are ways to monitor embryo viability and maturation once fertilization occurs. This is why I mention the importance of genetic counseling as part of the IVF process. I think the last bit I read placed children conceived via IVF having around a one percent increase in potential genetic disorders. Preimplantation screening is almost certainly the reason for this. Some of the papers from the early days talk about 3-4x increases in some disorders.Can you elaborate

I couldn't write "JK" Rowling, had to change it to "J.K".This is mental illness.
RedCafe won't let me post the link without trying to do something to it that vanishes it from existence completely, so just click this instead.
Edit: What the feck is RedCafe doing to Reddit links? It makes them not work at all?
Oh, it's changing fuck to feck, changing the link and making it useless. Great idea guys. Just copy this:

It's hilarious how there's a hodgepodge of different ways of censoring words on the Caf. There's the hard "no you can't post this word try another", like lol, rofl, jk (and probably more).I couldn't write "JK" Rowling, had to change it to "J.K".
Well, they had to censor the profane words because Google was being puritanical and told sites they would kill their ad revenue if they didn't clean up their content so not much choice there.It's hilarious how there's a hodgepodge of different ways of censoring words on the Caf.

Then there's the "we'll just change this letter for you" like in cnut and feck. And then there's dat, which turns out like ***.
It's all a bit silly, isn't it?
Oh is that really why? I never realized. Seems a bit silly that you can freely say much worse stuff than feck, but I guess feck and cnut were the most handy words in the Cafite vocabulary.Well, they had to censor the profane words because Google was being puritanical and told sites they would kill their ad revenue if they didn't clean up their content so not much choice there.
Personally, I'm glad a lot of text speak is blocked as that would get annoying.
The other ones are kind of funny.
Yeah, I don't mind either. Just found it funny when I encountered it.Well, they had to censor the profane words because Google was being puritanical and told sites they would kill their ad revenue if they didn't clean up their content so not much choice there.

Not even when they won in 2016. He didnt accept that he didnt won the electoral vote and he was robbed of 3 million votesToo fecking right there are concerns. One party will not accept the results unless they win. The only concerns Republicans had about 2020 was how they lost when they themselves are the cheaters.
