I think being able to see the item and having the option to purchase is much better than opening a random box that you have no idea what you’ll get.

Maybe they did it all for the nookie

“The Gotham platform can link together various police databases and automatically analyze their contents. Critics point out however that the software is a “black box” – how it functions is not clearly known.”

I appreciate some of the points you are making, but I was responding to this statement that you made twice: “Her trying to parse out defensive vs offensive is a manipulation and a shallow sales job.”

You’re being deceptive if you are implying that AOC voted against reducing weapons to Israel and then tried to spin it by creating a distinction between offensive and defensive weapons.

AOC voted against the entire bill, rejecting all funding for Israel’s military.

MTGs amendment cut funding of Israel’s Iron Dome program. This is a defensive system, of course it is useful during war time but it is still a defensive system. AOC is not creating this distinction, it exists. I linked to the state department’s site which indicates that the funding is considered separate from other military funding for Israel.

MTG wrote an amendment that is progressive and that all progressives must support? BS

If AOC had voted against a stand alone bill to eliminate Iron Dome funding then everyone’s points would be completely valid and warranted. That’s not what happened.

This is incorrect. The United States provides federal military funding to Israel and specifically and separately funds $500 million per year for their Iron Dome program. This is the $500 million of funding that MTG was seeing to eliminate.

“Israel is the leading global recipient of Title 22 U.S. security assistance under the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program. This has been formalized by a 10-year (2019-2028) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Consistent with the MOU, the United States annually provides $3.3 billion in FMF and $500 million for cooperative programs for missile defense.”

I see everyone’s point but without the bill there is no military financing and no defensive weapons. The fact that it’s MTGs amendment surely played a part in her decision.

“Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it”

She voted against reduced funding for weapons for Israel because she would have been voting FOR funds for weapons for Israel. If she had the option to eliminate funding of weapons for Israel completely she would have supported that.

Years from now people could look back and say “AOC in 2025 voted to supply Israel with XXX million dollars of weapons while they were in the middle of destroying Gaza, and attacking Syria and Iran.”

Would you really vote to supply weapons to Israel at this point in time?

Have to / need to - At some point in my 20s it was pointed out to me that “need to” is the correct phrase and that “have to” isn’t correct. But actually “have to” is used in both English and Spanish “tengo que” which is “have to” or technically “have that”. Grammatically, if “have” is a state of being then “have to” is like a state of being with a direction or target implied.

It says to turn it off you open the Gemini app on your Android phone and change some settings. I uninstalled the Gemini app completely. I wonder if it’s still running on my account somehow.

Healthcare is such a basic human right. Single payer for all (Medicare) should be our priority. The wealthy look at everything as theirs. Anything that needs to be done in society is “why should I pay for that?” I have a friend who makes a lot of money and he said that people who work hard should be rewarded and I asked him if he meant people who work hard or if he meant people who earn a lot of money and he didn’t know what to say.
