https://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2020/03/iraq-protests-coronavirus.html al-monitor.com/March 7, 2020 'A group of protesters in Saadoun Tunnel under Tahrir Square in the center of Baghdad were chanting on Friday night, March. 6, calling on Coronavirus to come to Iraq and take revenge from the militias and corrupt politicians who killed them during the 5 months of protests. "Listen to us Corona, come and visit the thieves who stole our wealth, come and take revenge from who stole our dreams, we only loved our homeland but they killed us," protesters were chanting. Despite the rapid spread of the coronavirus in Iraq, protesters have maintained a steady presence in Baghdad's Tahrir Square and other public areas, with no sign of intent to retreat or scale back their demonstrations

From the Congressional Record: Joe Biden posted:Saddam is dangerous. The world would be a better place without him. But the reason he poses a growing danger to the United States and its allies You can read Joe's entire speech at the link below, it starts on page 215 of the PDF. It's heavy in talking about how much reaching across the aisle and working with Republicans took place to pass a flawed AUMF that President Bush swears he won't use to go to war. It's a little weasily the way he says he didn't believe that Saddam had nuclear weapons as he did believe that Saddam was seeking them. https://www.congress.gov/crec/2002/10/10/CREC-2002-10-10.pdf

That's what's really frustrating about Joe's "I'm a bridge to the candidates standing behind me" comment. If you want them to be in control, step down! People better put their helmets on, because short of a miracle, Trump's getting reelected. Nothing so far has stuck to him, and I don't see anything actually hindering him.

BigDave posted:I forget, was the whole 'Saddam wants nukes' story a out-and-out lie, or just a really bad distortion of the truth? He had a program up till the Gulf War, after which he dismantled the program. Here is a lecture from Berkley that explains what the UN inspectors found and how primitive, though possibly effective, his program was in the 80s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJbyvCmybuk&t=2514s I recommend watching the entire video, it's nuclear weapons for future heads of state and should be required viewing in high school.

Other than Trump dying of the Corona virus, the other two don't really matter. Impeachment just came and went, and the rest of the world doesn't get a vote on who the president is.

facialimpediment posted:If Biden doesn't sundown during remaining debates (Sunday's a big one), might be a repeat of 2016 where Bernie withdraws after, and only after, all states vote in the primary. Why shouldn't every American be allowed to cast the vote in the Primaries? It's extremely undemocratic to quit when less than half the States have voted. That said, I live in a red state so I don't have to worry about voting for Biden, though I will show up to vote against Joni Ernst.

I fully support Bernie if he wants to use the money contributed to him and his apparatus to support and fund progressive candidates and policies. I will be pissed as hell if he gives a dime of it to Joe Biden. I donated to Bernie in part because he did not take donations from billionaires and their PACs. Biden has enough rich friends he doesn't need my money.

An Inch pattern can use mags made for both, but Metric FALs can only use Metric magazines. Seems like something that can morph into the NATO vs Cold War ammo myth.

I watched the debate last night and wanted to know if my memory is incorrect. Biden has repeatedly stated that after Obama was elected that Obama turned to him and said "get those troops out of Iraq." I thought the reason we left was that we didn't negotiate a SOFA that would have allowed US troops to stay.

Old Boot posted:It should've been a loving slam dunk, but Rs did their usual gimmick of making GBS threads all over the rules. But somehow the Dems are the ones that are acting in bad faith here? The Rules, that is, the Constitution, state that the Senate has to vote to convict. There was no way a Republican majority Senate votes to convict a sitting Republican president. To assume it was ever going to be otherwise is naive.

Old Boot posted:And them doing absolutely nothing would have gone over how well, exactly? It would have given less ammunition to the Republicans to fire up their base, and the Dems have been "Vote blue, no matter who" since at least 2016, if not earlier. So what was gained by impeaching Trump? People have been shouting "Do something" about everything for as long as I can remember. The only thing that gets done is more spending for the MIC, less spending on everything else, and tax cuts. And all of that is bipartisan.

Why is the Democratic Party addicted to tax credits instead of direct payments? Every benefit they propose feels like something the Army would offer. The headline sounds great, "$10,000 Bonus!" then you find out that it's taxed and paid out monthly over a period of 5 years.
