It's wild watching Democrats doing everything they can to repeat 2016. Now it's "Bidenomics" says the economy's great, why won't you listen to us? Appointing a special counsel that releases a report about illegally storing classified material that says Biden's too forgetful to have had intent. Instead of collapsing at a 9/11 memorial, Biden's had 4 major incidents with his memory in the space of a week. Biden's net favorability of -17 is lower than Hillary hit even after the Comey report. DNC removing candidates from the primary ballot that they're scared of. Next thing you know, we're going to find out Biden never stopped in Wisconsin for the 2024 campaign.

Seeing as Ben-Gvir isn't mentioned at all, I think you already have your answer.

Spoiler: it's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir once again (joined by 11 other ministers this time).

This guy sounds real confused. He looked at bat and dog fetuses and thought that those were lifes? How many "lifes" did he terminate during his practice?

Haley? As in Nikki "slavery wasn't a cause of the Civil War" Haley? Nikki "six week abortion ban" Haley? Nikki "withdraw the US from the Human Rights Council because of its 'chronic bias against Israel'" Haley?

It was already a deadly situation. Or are you saying that drowning migrants are more acceptable.

Maybe Musk should work harder on making his own automobiles not the most accident-prone cars on the road.

I'm curious why you think ocean microplastics can stick around for a few more decades or centuries

No, Al-Shifa was where Israel attacked the ambulance convoy and destroyed the hospital's solar panels.

Unfortunately they've either learned nothing, or are more than happy to let it happen again - this time with the military. By 2026 or so there's a very real chance that the military will be full of far right appointees that have no qualms about using nuclear weapons on population centers, carrying out genocides, employing the military against the American people, etc. etc. Just like the judiciary in 2014-2016, the military is full of vacancies waiting for the next far right president to fill overnight as soon as he takes power.

They may have help in other places too - Mike Johnson (now Speaker of the House) was senior legal counsel at ADF for nearly a decade.

How many dead Palestinian children per person is it?

That's the thing about felony murder. If her death occurred as a result of their commission of a felony, then they should be on the hook for felony murder. It doesn't matter that they didn't directly kill her.

Felony murder isn't a phrase to disambiguate between a murder that's a felony and some kind of nonexistent misdemeanor murder. It refers to a very specific type of "murder" where somebody dies as a result of somebody else committing a felony. The commission of the felony is enough to make the person liable - they don't have to have intended to kill anybody in the process or be directly involved in the death.

Four unarmed teenagers break into a house. The homeowner shoots and kills one of them. The three survivors are all liable for felony murder for the fourth's death, and can face life in prison or even a death sentence.

A group of criminals break into a house. One stays outside as a lookout, completely unaware of what is happening in the house. The elderly homeowner tries to stop the criminals in the house, but slips and falls and hits his head and dies from a brain hemorrhage. The lookout is liable for felony murder.

Two cops are having a disagreement at work. They get a call of a burglary in progress and drive out there and start chasing the suspect. One of the cops shoots at the suspect, but "accidentally" misses and fatally wounds the other cop they were fighting with back at the station. The burglar is liable for felony murder for the cop's death.

If the same standards were applied to the criminals who raided the journalist's house, then they'd all be charged with felony murder.
