Can anyone explain how all of these people aren’t being sent to prison for straight up treason? Isn’t blatantly and loudly stating that you’re intending to overthrow the united states government an enormous crime?
You’d think so, wouldn’t you? People have been locked-away for treason after lesser acts than Jan 6. Treason laws in the United States . If the feds won’t prosecute, I’d hope the state AGs would start to look into these kind of public displays of insurrection.
Considering that Israel used a lot of that handout money the US gave it to fund Hamas back in the late 80s, why doesn’t Josh Hawley just cut out the middleman and give Ukraine’s support directly to Hamas?
Makes about as much sense as anything else emanating from right-wingers…
It is something Christo-fascists seems to buy into… but there’s far more to it than just that. Christian Zionism predates Jewish Zionism, and it has always been a thoroughly antisemitic thing.
I know Rand Paul was one and he is always outspoken about not wanting to help Ukraine. I think we can all put two and two together. I wish there were consequences for being treasonous.
While I understand the sentiment, directly encouraging someone to die like this is not acceptable on this magazine, so your comment has been removed. Please try to keep things civil.
Power of attorney is a normal thing, and it doesn't actually indicate that she's unable to care for herself.
It's something all people should seriously consider if they have a responsible adult child.
It has to be done BEFORE you're actually in need, because you have to be competent to make the decision. It saves families a lot of drama if the person winds up in the hospital and someone needs to pay their bills, or needs to make other financial decisions while they're incapacitated.
All that said, feinstein is definitely incapable of caring for herself, so she needs to go. But I wish people would stop demonizing this particular thing, since it has nothing to do with the actual issues.
No one is demonizing this particular thing. People are complaining about a senator who needs to give way to a younger, more progressive person.
Like a 70 year old. /s Jokes aside this highlights things well.
Seriously though, no one is demonizing the thing. They're pointing out the thing adds strong evidence to the arguments they've been making for the better part of the last 20 years. When W Bush went under the knife he signed over power to Cheney. That's the responsible thing to do. On the same token, Feinstein has indicated the likelihood that she is unable to serve her role in numerous ways, with this just being one more way. If she can no longer speak for herself, how can she speak for Californians? I live here, BTW. I'm affected directly.
if youre no longer fit to make decisions for yourself on a permanent basis, like dementia here, you should be forced to resign. im not calling for someone who needs it for a short term injury or impairment though.
