Ashli Babbitt got shot full on by the secret service

Ashli Babbitt isn't an example of the USSS taking down a threat. Your source claims:

she was shot in the left shoulder by a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer.

The USCP isn't the USSS (by my understanding, which is based on Wiki). I understand that the USSS were present at Jan 6 though, so your point stands.

Religion, cults and sects are as concepts interconnected.

Oh, for sure. These ideas are related, but to claim that they are only separable by time is disingenuous.

Sweet as, keep on keeping on. I see there is no convincing you.

And you can equate religions and cults because the only difference between the two is time.

There is more difference than time. Cults require a charismatic, authoritarian leader, religions do not. One can be religious and autonomous in practice.

Religions can be open source and decentralised, cults cannot.

The business logs how often you use the game. They use it as a metric of engagement. If everyone breaks their streak, their marketing department has a melt down.

Nah, you're right to have pointed it out, especially because of the circumstances. No distress here. ☮

Whoops, genuinely didn't mean to.

arms embargo day one is a basic thing anyone going for president who cares about people at all should do at the minimum.

Good luck getting anyone into presidency who would do this. This genocide isn't a sudden affair, it's a continued issue that spans decades.

You think we're gonna solve it in a day?

How long was the Vietnam War? Afghan war? Nearly 20 years, and those were wars where the US was directly involved.

How long has the Israel-Hamas war being going for? Just over a year (if we say it started on 7th Oct 2023).

You want progress? You want the genocide to stop? Then you vote for someone that will lean towards progress. Not voting is the worst thing you can do.

Always vote. https://youtu.be/_gbDAvK42yA?t=197

“And I feel like there’s a lack of listening, and I just feel like I need to bring that up because it affects my life and people I really care about’s life …,” the student added.

“And again, this is about the fact that your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth cannot be suppressed, and it must be heard. … Our goal should be unity, but not uniformity,” Harris said. “And the point that you’re making about policies that relates to Middle East policy, foreign policy. We still have healthy debates in our country, about what is the right path. And nobody’s voice should be suppressed on that.”

Trump just looks out for himself.

Reversing the tide takes time. Do you want to start now or later?

"There is no evidence that Bezos favors Trump. Apart from the fact that Bezos favors what Trump supports."

My brother in Christ, do you read what you write?

Source? I want to read that story and have a laugh.

Edit: I couldn't find a case where the USSS took on trespassers. I can only find preventative measures.

I see, these are the only issues to be concerned about. Yup, that's it. There is nothing else at all. Well I guess we should just sit on our hands as others bleed. /s

Maybe vote for someone who is more likely to negotiate over these issues. I wonder who is more likely to listen.
