Again, you're just ignoring reality if you think following a religion means believing every word and concept in its religious texts. Your reasoning is identical to islamophobic reasoning

This is like when someone cherry picks a bunch of quotes from the Quran as evidence that islam is "incompatible" with western thought. Or when people point to the Hebrew bible and use it as evidence that all those who practice Judaism are genocidal

Religious practices often diverge wildly from the texts. I think you're making an OK theological argument, because the hypocrisy is clear. But as a political argument, you end up oversimplifying reality, and leave yourself open to very bigoted reasoning

Agreed, but it's still important context that this isn't a news org

lmao. Yes, it's one of the first things a visitor to NYC usually notices. Before garbage collection, they just pile up the bags of trash on the street

The majority of other US cities either have alleys where trash collection happens, or there's just more space for bins/dumpsters

Exactly. From a military perspective, Greenland is already a de facto part of the US empire. Trump will probably try to pay off the populace so they vote the correct way in a referendum. It's not like Greenland is full of Danish nationalists

Wall baby, wall!

 

And yet Joe Biden was no Woodrow Wilson. In 1919, the 28th president suffered a serious stroke; a cover-up ensued; and Wilson’s second wife, Edith, allegedly performed many of her incapacitated husband’s presidential duties. By contrast, whatever you may think of his policies, Biden governed competently behind closed doors. Visitors can attest that during meetings, he commanded every detail and nuance of Middle East policy.
