    Which Einstein disproved. Newton said it was a force. Einstein's theory that it is just the shortest path on curved space time has been proven both mutually exclusive and correct.
    Well, yes, but Newton’s gravitational law is still valid within a domain (ie: still widely applied since it fulfills it’s purpose as long as you know what’s being calculated). As you correctly point out, general relativity explained the divergences in specific cases and works in the general case, as a pseudo-force.

    Lindsey Graham Says White House Told Him To ‘Please’ Block Armenian Genocide Resolution

    Graham blocked the measure

    shortly after meeting with President Trump and Turkish leader Erdoğan,

    Trash pandering to Erdogan to protect his Turkish businesses.

    Dead Kurds less important than Trash's businesses.

    It's astounding how countries like Turkey and Japan are so butthurt about their governments' past actions. Just look at Germany. All is largely forgiven now that they owned that . It certainly isn't a big sticking point in it's international relations anymore.
    Without being that familiar with turkey and Armenia, I'd wager it's not all Turks that are in denial or butthurt as you put it, but mostly the elites that made those decisions at the time. And the reason they defend those indefensible positions so fervently is because recognizing the consensus view would mean they ed up bad, got away with it, and shouldn't be making those decisions anymore- the us (elite) is notable in size and not immune to this behavior. Here with Pinochet we've been trapped in this discussion for nearly 50 years (and with the mapuche for hundreds), and even with the current crisis denial is still strong on both fronts. Much like environmental costs of business projects, the social, civic cost of coups is never properly calculated by the perpetrators.

    But now basically if Donald Trump says ‘hey come over and shave my back,’ Lindsey’s going to be there.

    Senate followed suit after multiple attempts to bring it to a vote had previously been thwarted by republican senators at the bequest of the white house... but this time passed unanimously. nice to see them act on their accord and not simply be vessels for potus

    One can deny or question the Armenian genocide, the native American genocide, the communist regime genocides, etc... but the moment someone questions or denies the holocaust "oh you're a racist antisemite white supremacist holocaust denier! Shut him down!!!"

    Did anybody mention yet that Trump has a development project in Turkey?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Towers_Istanbul

    That seems important.

    Screening anti-Kurd State agitprop at the White House was another appalling moment.

    So strange that relatively ancient genocide denial exists with the clear contrasting examples of Germany and Japan to guide such decisions.

    US House overwhelmingly votes to recognize Armenian genocide

    The US House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to recognize the Armenian genocide of a century ago, stepping into a fraught historical debate at a particularly tense moment for the US-Turkey relationship.
    The House voted 405-11 in favor of the resolution, which is not legally binding, to formally recognize the systematic killing of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians under the Ottoman Empire in 1915, modern-day Turkey, as a “genocide”.
