https://theintercept.com/2016/09/13/...d-and-hateful/Hillary Clinton: Boycotting North Carolina Is Noble and Just; Boycotting Israel Is Bigoted and Hateful
Hillary Clinton, in a June 2, 2015, letter to billionaire donor and Israel supporter Haim Saban:
“I am writing to express my alarm over the boycott, divestment, and sanction [BDS] movement. … I know you agree that we need to make countering BDS a priority. … I am seeking your advice on how we can work together — across party lines and with a diverse array of voices — to reverse this trend with information and advocacy, and fight back against further attempts to isolate and delegitimize Israel. … Particularly at a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise across the world — especially in Europe — we need to repudiate forceful efforts to malign and undermine Israel and the Jewish people.”Hillary Clinton, speaking to AIPAC on March 21, 2016:
“Many of the young people here today are on the front lines of the battle to oppose the alarming boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement known as BDS. Particularly at a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise across the world, especially in Europe, we must repudiate all efforts to malign, isolate, and undermine Israel and the Jewish people. I’ve been sounding the alarm for a while now. As I wrote last year in a letter to the heads of major American Jewish organizations, we have to be united in fighting back against BDS.”Hillary Clinton, today:
Could someone explain why it’s noble, enlightened, justifiable, and progressive to boycott an American state, but hateful, bigoted, retrograde, and evil to support a boycott of a foreign country that has been imposing a brutal, discriminatory, and illegal occupation for many decades, a boycott that is led by people with virtually no political rights? How did that happen? Hillary Clinton is far from the only person espousing this bizarre distinction — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, as but one example, is punishing companies that support a boycott of Israel while forcing state employees to honor the boycott of North Carolina — but what could possibly justify U.S. politicians drawing the moral and ethical lines about boycotts in this manner?
Largest-ever US military aid package to go to Israel
The Obama administration is upping aid to Israel as part of the largest pledge of military assistance in US history.
Israel is set to get about $38 billion over 10 years, according to congressional and administration sources, up from the approximately $30 billion decade-long deal that expires in 2018.
The Memorandum of Understanding sealing the arrangement will be signed Wednesday at the State Department.

aka "corporate welfare" for and redistribution upwards to the MIC, but USA can't increase the Fed minimum wage to $15+, will not pass a Federal law requiring 6+ months of paid maternity leave like every other industrial country.
It's good that we can lol at the same things. Shows progress in our interaction.
I'm laughing at you. I doubt you're laughing at you too.
I do fancy myself hilarious. But I think at this point we're laughing at the absurd jab you made. You're laughing because you think it's apt, and I'm laughing because it's poorly thought-out and ridiculous. Still, it's the same thing.
I didn't make a joke. I just said I'm loling at your nitpicking.
Now I'm laughing at your attempt to reverse lol.
I didn't say a joke. I said a jab. It's not my fault you are trying to be as passive as possible about it.
Lol trying to reverse jab.
A new Department of Defense policy, which takes effect in October, lays out processes under which service members may transition. Under the policy, "service members with a diagnosis from a military medical provider indicating that gender transition is medically necessary will be provided medical care and treatment for the diagnosed medical condition." It is not clear if or how the policy applies to inmates like Manning.
When is gender transition treatment "medically necessary?"
That seems like something you should ask a military medical provider.
You know one?
I'm guessing here it would be when it's psychologically beneficial to the patient? I would suspect this is normally handled by mental health professionals...
The literal answer to Vy's half dead bait is alway a
if it really is 2000 then it's already near zero
That's sort of my point. I understand that the law sucks and that if you can avoid hurting 2000 people that it makes sense to do so. But the "countless" claim is kinda of silly. Maybe the unreliability of self-reporting on this matter makes it hard/impossible to count. But as far as the data shows, this is still a fringe group being harmed/inconvenienced here.
Boots blames the whole mess on Big Plumbing $
"countless" isn't a claim. We're all aware that the population is countable. You're getting all worked up over hyperbole. Pretty silly.
Begs the question of why such legislation needed to be enacted, since it's such a small group.
And there's a big difference between harmed and inconvenienced, fwiw.
Muh daughter's safetuh
The point is that the polarity of "countless" is large. But the real population that's affected is (really, really) small. Had the number been like 100,000, then I wouldn't have an issue. Like if you said, "Countless people travel to NYC every year." that would be fine, even though that's an actual countable number. But if you said "countless people visit Aztec, NM every year" it feels disingenuous."countless" isn't a claim. We're all aware that the population is countable. You're getting all worked up over hyperbole. Pretty silly.
Eh, not really. Inconvenienced is on the harmed-unharmed continuum.
Because people were being idiots about the idea of men dressing up as women to rape their daughters. So Charlotte rightfully supported the oppressed group and the state decided to be dumb about it.
