- How have they "failed over and over"? When they had a majority they enacted good policies. They win about half the elections, which is to be expected in a two-party system. If Trump could be convicted and removed, I'd be for it, but it's not a realistic scenario.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Midterm elections normally go against the President. No one says not to criticize Trump, but an impeachment resolution doesn't pass, doesn't remove him, doesn't make him less popular or do anything except put some in a tough spot and pander to Bluesky who think their feelings are what matter.

- It's lose-lose for them. If they vote yes in a district where Trump is popular, they look partisan. If they vote no they annoy Bluesky types who ARE very partisan. Better to not have to go on the record for what is a doomed exercise. The leadership is shielding them.

- It would not have passed. All it would have done is create problems for Dems in Trump districts, of whom there are several, without accomplishing anything.

- You don't sound especially happy or well-adjusted yourself. Calling your country "this shithole"? Good luck doing politics with that attitude.

- She kept her job as a Harvard professor, just lost the admin position. She got off easy, given professional failings. Since when does anyone care about the undergrad writings of politicians of any race or sex? Not comparable. Hegseth would not be in his job under any other president.
- [Not loaded yet]
- No, it's not a double standard to say plagiarism in published scholarly work is more relevant for a professor and university administrator than some non-academic's undergrad thesis. Neither is good, but the former is clearly worse, so people who dismissed it have no standing to complain re Hegseth.
- [Not loaded yet]
- He should be gone because of Signalgate, because he has no serious qualifications, because he drove a non-profit into the ground, because he had to settle a sexual assault case and because he's been drunk at work, even at Fox. No one who ignores all this is going to care about a senior thesis.
- [Not loaded yet]
- He had to settle a sexual assault or date rape suit. He drove a non-profit into the ground. He was drunk at work. He has no serious qualifications for his hugely demanding job. If none of this matters, why would his undergrad thesis?

- Do you have any principles at all, or just race-bait? Oxman's only "job" in recent years is being Mrs. Ackman. If she were still a professor when her plagiarism was discovered, get rid of her too.

- Yes, an undergrad project. People who decided a dissertation and published research could be plagiarized should leave this though It just shows bad faith and unseriousness. He never should have been appointed and has already screwed up on the job. It's not because of what he did at 21.

- He is unqualified for his job and has already effed it up. Should have been fired with Waltz.
- He is unqualified for his job. But you see no difference between an undergrad paper and published research by a professor? That's a racist standard?
- Is he the President of a university? Was this a dissertation or published research? Hegseth is awful in myriad ways, but the Bluesky crowd that pooh-poohed academic plagiarism should sit this out.
- Defendants are presumed innocent unless convicted. Every US Atty (or so I thought) knows you can’t weigh in on guilt like this.

- Democratic
- Working as a government attorney is a choice. Someone woke up today and decided they were going to try to keep a woman in jail because they wrote an op-ed the regime didn't like. At some point, this regime will collapse, and all of these enablers must be shunned.
- They'll lose midterms, and in a few years, Trump will go away, if he's still living. But "regime collapse" is hyperbole. The many civil servants not fired won't be shunned. Shouldn't a polisci prof be less of a ranter?
- NEW: A letter from former leaders of the ADL, AJC, Hillel, AIPAC, etc. say the organizations are being "far too silent about the stunning assault on democratic norms." forward.com/fast-forward...

- Civilians die in wars. It's not called "genocide" in other cases. That's antisemitic and intended to delegitimate the only Jewish state.

- I said zero racist things, but you can't defend the genocide charge, so you attempt to deflect. I am not the one who think Jews should be killed and unable to defend themselves.

- It's antisemitic to excuse mass killing and kidnapping of Jews and smear their response to terrorist murderers and kidnappers as "genocide".
- [Not loaded yet]
- Arabs massacring Jews and taking hostage="righteous resistance". Any response other than surrender="genocide", because Jews stepped out of their lane as prey animals and this will not be forgiven.

- Only the half who live in Israel, right? Never was civilian casualties in a war considered "genocide" until now. It's a blood libel. A lot of people use it just ignorantly, but it is.

- He's a Muslim, but an Indian citizen and Muslims are a somewhat vulnerable minority in India, which is at war with a Muslim country. Of course he's not going to say death to India!
- [Not loaded yet]
- What's wrong with the truth? He's a Muslim sticking up for his people. Understandable! It's just not a case of someone necessarily transcending all loyalties, the way people are misreading it.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Why do facts bother you? He's a Muslim standing up for his people, not someone floating above all attachments. I don't blame him at all, but that's what it is.
- He's brave, but he's also a Muslim sticking up for Pakistan. That's fine, but not exactly a case of universalism, just a different form of identity politics. If he were a Hindu, opposing war with Pakistan would be a bigger deal. This is more like German-Americans against WWI.

- Or he can just realize that midterms go against the President's party usually, and we are headed for economic trouble that will make it even worse for Republicans. If he is narrowly leading in some poll now, that doesn't mean it will hold up.
- Truly, it’s as if the purpose of assigning papers is to generate papers.
- About to be Jokerfied by this blandly tossed-off statement in a piece about how the lie machines will never stop lying. Why concede that AI is "useful" in writing term papers?

- You could assign better topics then! It doesn't have to be JUST an exercise. I remember things I learned from papers I wrote years ago. Were they great contributions to knowledge? No, but I did learn some things I wouldn't have even from class readings, and retain some bits of that anyway.

- 1. Most Americans don't even know what "gulag" means. 2. Most foreign prisons are not "gulags". 3. The question was about violent criminals, not political dissenters. The Gulag is not notable chiefly because common criminals were kept under poor conditions, although they were.

- These people had Pelosi as leader for 20 years. But sure, they're too sexist to give a woman a minor post. Totally brilliant analysis!
