More legal resources for victims is great, but again, what's the measurable outcome? Sexual assault incidence has decreased? Something like that.
Except that data is skewed if sexual assault was never reported because of power structures, etc at the time that made the victim feel it was a lost cause.
Like I said in my posts, laws going into affect to improve workplace protections and weaken the power of NDAs to silence victims is a good thing.

OMG...someone has been listening to the cries of these idiot protestors.
Israelis committing genocide. Sure, because there exist only assumptions and speculation, so why not go for it.
Reasonable grounds is the best that they could come up with...
“There are reasonable grounds to believe that the threshold indicating the commission of the crime of genocide…has been met.
Assumptions and speculation that arises out of finding excuses for the behavior of these animals.
Oh those poor brown people, those white looking Jews surely must have done something to them in order for them to behave this way.
And you call them animals. So does Israel's far right government.
Y'all had sides picked before anything ever happened.
Israel will run this excuse into the ground or until they level all of Gaza, regardless of casualties.
It is a genocide.

"instances of antisemitism have increased by 500% since October,!"
"We also redefined what antisemitism is since then, but don't look into that too hard.

Military industrial complex
So much waste and overspending on defense.
Money that could go to resolving issues at home.

So what if she did?
You have no problem with Kamala Harris sucking cock to get where she's at.
It doesn't matter what consenting adults do
... But if your political ideology / belief system includes claiming Christianity, shunning adulterers, promoting family values, etc ... And then you/your politicians do the complete opposite, it deserves to be ridiculed

Dog outrage. Whatever you people will reach for....so reminiscent of the liberal outrage when it was discovered that Mitt Romney put a dog on top of his car.
Oh the humanity!
Say it aint so!
And there you assholes were, defending Micheal Vick.
Oh and by the way, depending on the breed, a dog generally outgrows its puppyhood between a year and 18 months you moron.
Who defended Vick on here?
And Romneys was messed up too. But at least he didn't kill the dog.
Just another data point of conversations not caring about anything that doesn't directly affect them... And that extends to their dogs I guess

Does that mean everything she said in the video was false?
You were way off base with the notion that conservatives don't experience a certain upbringing.
In fact, among conservatives and liberals being both in the same socioeconomic class, the conservative will be happier.
According to polls — Pew Research Center, the National Science Foundation — and studies such as Professor Arthur Brooks’ Gross National Happiness, conservative Americans are happier than liberal Americans.
For one thing, conservatives on the same socioeconomic level as liberals give more charity and volunteer more time than do liberals
Life is hard for liberals, and life is hard for conservatives. But conservatives assume that life will always be hard. Liberals, on the other hand, have utopian dreams. At his brother Robert’s funeral, the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy recalled his brother saying: “Some men see things as they are and say ‘why?’ I dream things that never were and say ‘why not?'”
She is spot on about that too.
Ignorances is bliss?
I'm sure some voting conservatives do experience a certain upbringing. But the majority of politicians are lying out their ass. On both sides. But in the example we have conservative politicians playing make believe as salt of the earth good ole boy blue collar real Americans.
Morons on this board think trump gives a shit about the working class

It seems like she's really trying to play into the "real America" "not your typical politician" angle. She probably planned on getting backlash from this story so she can pivot and go "see, liberals make America weak! They can't handle a real American leader that can do what needs done!"
All BS. I'm sure it's a facade she's trying to build up. Typical of a lot of a MAGA reps that try to play up a background and upbringing they didn't experience much at all. They need to pretend they understand the every man.
I still think it's bs she shot a puppy acting like a puppy cuz she couldn't train it. She wasn't dependent on this dog to survive. It was a hobby / sport.

Here is where woody gets his info, other than college protest signs.
At least 10,600 children have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since October 7, the Hamas-run Ministry of Health said on Tuesday.

Serious question and one I don't know the answer to - is there any measurable outcome that has changed as a result of the MeToo movement? Less rapes or sexual assaults? Increase in rape convictions? Some measure of how safe women feel?
Hard data I have no idea, but it at least drove more accountability for those that committed sexual assault. I believe it also led to more laws/protections around workplace harassment in multiple states, and weakened the ability of NDAs to silence victims.

Because no such thing exists on the left.
Rather than the erroneous inclusion of a word, what really should have stuck out to you is that article seems to conflate "tax dollars" and "endowments". The title of the article mentions taxpayer funds but the article points to endowments. To the best of my knowledge, they are 2 different things.
I mean if they really wanted to induce rage:
About 3.6% of total federal spending went towards higher education investments, according to the US government’s Datalab. Datalab operates under the Department of Treasury and is a public source for federal spending data. Colleges and universities received $1.068 trillion in revenue from federal and non-federal funding sources in 2018.
No, his point was that their endowments are huge but they're still receiving some government funding.
And my god! 3.6%!? To help support education!!???? What a waste! We could buy like... 4 stealth bombers with that to bring freedom to the middle east

Riiiight a "war" on education. How about a war on indoctrination and or stupidity.
These protestors couldn't find Israel on a map.
The right is very clearly anti academic, anti education, and anti expert. You can pretend it isn't if that makes you feel better, but we have hundreds of threads on here that say differently.
They'll claim "indoctrination" or whatever other nonsense, but they are anti education because getting educated hurts their chances of reelection.

A minor slip is the best you can do?
Pretty sure the authors intent was to stress the obscene amounts received.
Note that these top five endowments are billions of dollars.
Yes, the author's intent was to get his readers angry and riled up. It's the intent of the entire site.
It isn't "the best I could do". I got there and laughed at his poorly it's written. But red state is nothing more than a right wing rage blog at this point.

Again, you make an ass of yourself. There isn't any "beating my chest" - you run your beak with garbage eeking out most of the time. lol
The point you stupidly missed, as usually, is that the Jewish folks were persecuted way, way, way back, and it's still going on today.
Israel has every right to the West Bank - they were declared war upon, and the other side that started it LOST. That is history, and you don't know any history - it seems you never use history to make any point - so I guess you don't know history at all.
Show me one video were Israeli's massed together and chanted "Death to all arabs and muslims" .
you can't.
Show me one instance where an Israeli was a suicide bomber.
You can't.
Show me in history where Israel ever started a war.
You can't.
You lose.
Have a nice stupid day.
Israeli fat right officials have called Palestinians inhuman animals to justify their killing.
It is funny though, that again, you're painting Israel as perfectly innocent in all of this.
I also see where cal gets his "this is all in self defense" responses from.

And the effects of slavery and systemic racism still exist in American society today, correct? Much more recent that 1500 years ago

baloney. Explain why you FEEL it's nonsense. I don't care about the nations that don't want Israel to exist.
Like I explained in the other thread - Israel was declared war upon by Egypt - Israel fought Egypt, Jordan meekly joined in to a point, and syria joined in, too.
Israel won hugely. Because they WON THE WAR THEY DIDN"T START, they kept some of the land for future security to prevent other militaries from having so much an advantage.
How infantile, criticize where I showed you the arabs/muslims/Mohammed's army destroyed a country in the earlier history of the region, and you say I don't do history? LOL
Yell at the sky all you want, but you are wrong on nearly? every single discussion you pretend to have a legit offering to put forth.
Beating your chest in victory because of a battle from 1500 years ago? I'll just assume that's the dementia talking.
Israelis are actively pushing into the West Bank now, attacking Palestinians and pushing them out of their homes. They've been doing this long before the attack last October. This has been condemned by more than just middle eastern nations. Though it's clear you're just throwing "good" and "evil" onto, let's say, certain types of people at this point. That reality comes out more in each one of your posts.
No matter what happens though, no matter what violence Israel commits, no matter what violence they have committed in the past, I'm sure you'll claim self defense.

again, learn some history and learn how to look up definitions of words you use before you use them.
Your constant? aggressive slurs don't make any legitimate point in any discussion, pecker.
Would be great if you could learn how the internet works before using it but unfortunately that ship sailed.
You're the political version of tricking the elderly to buy crap on the home shopping network.

You're missing the point here.
I don't care if s politician has a secret gay lover or is involved in threesomes or whatever
But if that politician is preaching an anti gay message, or "real marriage", or Christian family values, or whatever conservative pandering gets them votes then their personal actions are grounds for ridicule.
How are you not getting this?
And I don't give a shit about Kamala. She sucks. If the point is she's pandering about religion, or is religious, or whatever I don't really care.
