@averagejoe1 saidAren't you forgetting something?
Mr. Biden’s new loan forgiveness is still illegal. The High Court stressed that student loan forgiveness is a major question that requires clear authorization from Congress. But Mr. Biden seems to believe he can jam the courts by automatically forgiving debt before a judge has time to stop him.
The Supreme Court ruled last year that Mr. Biden’s cancelation of $10,000 t ...[text shortened]... icles/joe-biden-student-loan-forgiveness-karine-jean-pierre-supreme-court-7e74383f?mod=hp_opin_pos_1
@sh76 saidthen if Jordan and Egypt don't want it, why should Israel not build on it?
Agree with everything, except how do you define "Palestinian land"?
It can't be "land in Palestine" because there was never an independent country called Palestine. If you mean all land, even empty land, that belonged to Jordan or Egypt before the '67 war, then if Jordan and Egypt don't want it, why should Israel not build on it?

Negotiating them a state where they sit now seems the logical course of action. Of course, they also have to agree not to war on their neighbors.
And therein, as the bard would say, lies the rub.
@congruent saidJMHO - Nakamura has spent a lot of time over the last 10 years focused too much on blitz. He's a very strong GM of course but seems less comfortable with slower time controls.
Nepo now in the lead, Vidit could be in the lead had he won the last two.
Nepo vs Vidit, after Vidit beat Nakamura he then lost the next two games

@shavixmir saidWhat do you think?
The European Court for Human Rights is deciding on this issue today.
3 different cases are being decided on today. All three (from seperate groups) accuse governments of not doing enough to curb the effects of climate change and that this is endangering their human rights.
What the court decides is binding for countries in the EU. And, obviously, this could have an im ...[text shortened]... g on action vs human rights? And then I feel that it’s overstepping something.

Post a quote from a movie and readers guess which movie.

Considering 3 famous people who travel all over America, who supported Biden but said it's so bad they won't support him again, and they're not white, tells me you clearly live in a small town.
Some little hamlet away from major cities.
I didn't even do a search yet of famous people who supported Biden but are publicly denouncing him now.
For you to think ...[text shortened]... in a little town and you're not affected by the crap or you're being ignorant and reeking of denial.
@fartacus saidNot smart people but a lot of dumb people will vote for whoever some famous person votes for
Dwayne Johnson also known as "The Rock" has said America got worse under Biden and Biden created division . He will not endorse him again this time around although he endorsed him in 2020.
To avoid backlash for supporting Trump he said he will no longer endorse anyone publicly.
Who cares? Not smart people but a lot of dumb people will vote for whoever some famous person votes for so it's looking good for old Trumpy.
@greenpawn34 saidNice cartoon, and I suspect just as true today as it was then. 😏

@rajk999 saidMy Lutheran bible study classes seem pretty orthodox and boring compared to these two.
We have a Mormon among us, probably for the first time. He is Mr. Petty Talk, very vocal around here, so this should be an interesting discussion, comparing JWs and Mormons. This was extracted off Quora.
