    The stock bill has a lot of cosponsors. It's good legislation and needs to be passed.

      It does indeed. Way, way too much temptation.

      Should we really look at it, I wonder how many examples we would see on Congresscritters who 'got lucky' om office.

            It would be smarter and cheaper to just move the population and its key resources here than to go to war over it.

              Watch to the end when he talks about genocide, and references South Africa.

                  Seems like a no-brainer to me.

                      I wonder if his health issues made him decide to speak up about what he really believes? A major scare can push people to re-evaluate their lives.

                      I was only joking

                        It would be disappointing if it turns out that it was always this easy to sound sane as a politician.

                        Education is extremely important.

                          An overwhelming majority of President Joe Biden's fellow Democrats in the Senate on Wednesday backed a statement reiterating U.S. support of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

                          The only two Democratic senators who did not sign onto the amendment were John Fetterman and Joe Manchin.
                          Fetterman has long supported a two-state solution, but he believed the measure should include language stipulating the destruction of Hamas as a precondition to peace, an aide said.

                            Or maybe...Manchin has occupied a fairly unique place in closely divided Senate. It has given him a bit more power than he normally would have had. Maybe Fetterman or somebody on his staff came up with the idea of occupying that same political space, since Manchin is retiring.

                              A sensible policy position to take. Hamas must not be in any way a part of any future Palestinian identity or state.

                                That much should be obvious to our esteemed leaders. But then we abandoned Afghanistan to the Taliban, so….
