Defund the Iron Dome
-
Put aside for a second the questions of whether the US should be sending aid to Israel, and how much.
Apparently some members of "The Squad" want to eliminate part of the budget that allocate funds to Israel's "Iron Dome" which intercepts incoming missiles.
This is 100% a defensive weapon.
I don't understand the thinking of hindering our allies from defending themselves.

This kind of thing is easy. We can always find an argument....
Nothing to do with Israel, but for example, I look at some of my "less progressive" Facebook friends, and they often post these little pictures saying we shouldn't be sending money overseas in aid, but should be helping the poor in Britain instead, frequently accompanied by heart-rending photos of old men who fought in WW2 and have no legs and shit.
Then they'll complain about the fact that to many benefits are paid to lazy, good-for-nothing poor people in the UK, with a heart-rending photo of some smug rich cunt, saying he pays too much in tax, and it's no wonder he lives abroad.
Then they'll post complaining about well-known black person Lewis Hamilton not paying his fair share in taxes because he lives abroad and how he should be ashamed.
Then they'll post a picture of Nigel Farage with that stupid fucking inbred chinless grin, and I'm forced to de-friend them.

Isn’t cunt a feminine noun, not masculine?

D2 uses it as a non-binary term. Applies to all.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

It's primarily used as an insult for men in the UK.

I wonder if I should use or, at least, remember that the next time someone I am speaking to identifies as and wants to be referred to as non-binary?

@renauda hell, @Doctor-Phibes uses "twat" in a pretty non-discriminatory way, right?

@renauda actually, no.
When I was working, I'm sure my use of that noun would have cause a "stern reprimand" from our chairman. Of course, he would have done it with a wink and a nod - he's a good guy, and a friend.
Having been educated by
D'Oh@Doctor-Phibes , in the internet usage of the term, I'm more apt to use it.
