You didn't criticize my posting Omar's statement.
To be fair she is both strange and foul. Even posting her official headshot fits with the purpose of the thread.

We postponed all deliveries into DC this week. We were supposed to deliver a unit to The Watergate, where Netanyahu is staying… The customer actually postponed that knowing the trouble…

You missed the point. This isn’t the fact check thread.
That's right. It's the "Foul reactions" thread.
You didn't criticize my posting Omar's statement.
You might disagree, but I'd characterize Warren's as foul and inappropriate.
What do you expect? The woman thinks one of Harris' big accomplishment is visiting an abortion clinic...

I’m trying to pull up the speech to watch it. How long was it? Some of the videos I am seeing are over 2 hours long…

It's about an hour, from what I can gather.
Starts at about 0:33 and is over at 1:26.

It began with lots of military hero stories. After that, was very standard rhetoric that you will have seen before on twitter or even here. "People who say from the river to the sea can't name the river or the sea", "Gays for Palestine is like chickens for KFC". The weakest rhetoric was when Bibi said "practically no civilians" had been killed, then admitted that actually 24 people were killed accidentally by a bomb, then reiterated that "practically zero civilians had been killed".
I guess this is the stuff of political speeches, because this is the stuff that works best. Nobody is interested in hearing intelligent things, or not enough people are interested. Just ra ra rhetoric.

January 6.
Now, tell me again how prosecution and sentencing has not been selective.

Out of 3200 arrested? Less than 10%. That’s better than I would have thought.
Or any of us would have thought.
DON’T let them eat cake.

That would never happen under any conceivable scenario in any jurisdiction except police states that do mass show trials. Most cases are pled. Nowhere do we have resources to take every arrest to trial.

Good point. Do you think that 90% of the arrested/charged will plea to a lesser charge? Only will 2% go to trial if history is an indicator.
