How good has the economy been since the month President Biden took office? Pick your indicator—every one of them is headed in exactly the right direction. That's probably why the Republican Party’s lies about the economy are getting so conspicuously mind-bogglingly stupid, and why even far-right pollster Rasmussen (Trump’s favorite among the larger polling outfits) has President Biden all the way up to a 46% approval rating—which in this country, in this year, is practically a Christmas miracle -SethAbramson

"Republicans had many opportunities to say 'this is not right, this is not who we are,'" says Molly Jong-Fast of the Trump's behavior. "Instead they said, 'no, I don't want to deal with this' ... by doing that, they made this democracy's problem." Velshi

Of course.
There is one main difference of course. AFAIK, there are no countries where theists are persecuted by an atheist government.
China and the USSR were exceptions, but that is no longer.
And please don't give me Falun Gong and Uighurs. That is the totalitarian state persecuting what it believes are political opponents.

Palestinians and their supporters casually calling for the blood of Jews in the streets of Toronto today. #palestine #toronto #antisemitism

On this festive day let’s take a moment to think about the victims of the Nakatomi Plaza incident 35 years ago. Never forget!

Technically it’s not Frankincense it’s Frankincense’s Monster.

"Criticism of Israel is not antisemitic."

This is true if it means that it is possible to criticize Israel without lapsing into antisemitism. (It is.)

It is not true if it means that criticism of Israel can't be antisemitic. (It can, and often is.)

It seems that a lot of people assume it means the latter, and they're wrong.
