    31 NICU babies were forced out of the hospital at gunpoint. 3 have already been confirmed killed in transit.

      I saw someone say on tiktok “My daughter spent 69 days in the NICU. If on any one of those 69 days a state cut the power to the hospital or started dropping bombs and my daughter died, I’m 100% becoming a terrorist for the rest of my life.”

      And that’s absolutely the correct position. How many “Hamas militants” have had children, parents, siblings murdered by Israel? Probably almost all of them. And at that point there’s very little they could do against their occupier that I would say isn’t justified.

        One of my wife's coworkers had family in Palestine. She lost twenty three members of her extended family in a week, when Israel began bombing. I honestly have no idea how she even shows up to work anymore without going postal.

          Yeah it fully falls under “We may need to start making excuses for the lack of terror.” Becoming a terrorist is the most sane and reasonable course of action in that situation.

          How the fuck has no one tried to assassinate Brandon yet?

            Not exactly a trivial endeavor. In the same way there were a handful of dorks and losers who made grasping efforts at attacking Obama, I'm sure a few folks have tried on Donny Donuts and Biden. But certainly nothing worth publishing about.

            Nobody is going to manage a John Hinkley Jr in the year of our lord 2023, unless you've got a guy like Bush Sr waiting in the wings to take over. And for all her ambition, Kamala Harris simply isn't that girl. Maybe if Ole' Donny picks a particularly nasty VP, we might see someone pull off another assassination. But I'm not holding my breath. We're more likely to get an old fashioned military coup.
