All Quarked Up

 I posted this over here , in response to the post  and this argument: If Cuomo broke positive law by retaliating against women who had lodged complaints about his behavior, then those retaliation-related allegations (if true) could supply a good basis for impeachment. The COVID19 allegations are entirely different. If Cuomo chose poorly (as we now understand it) in sending elderly patients with COVID19 into nursing homes, but did so acting on the information before him and for disinterested ends (i.e., in the narrow sense of not taking any bribes), then that is a reason for voters (if they so choose) to boot him out of office, but not for the legislature to impeach. Otherwise, you are converting impeachment into an ongoing legislative vote of no confidence. As my comment still hasn't escaped moderation, I'm posting it here: "If Cuomo chose poorly (as we now understand it) in sending elderly patients with COVID19 into nursing homes, but did so acting on the information bef...

Interesting news here :   Mujahid reiterated that the Taliban have offered full amnesty to Afghans who worked for the U.S. and the Western-backed government, saying “nobody will go to their doors to ask why they helped.” He said private media should “remain independent” but that journalists “should not work against national values.” More interesting news here : KABUL, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Taliban fighters in the Afghan capital, Kabul, started collecting weapons from civilians on Monday because people no longer need them for personal protection, a Taliban official said. "We understand people kept weapons for personal safety. They can now feel safe. We are not here to harm innocent civilians," the official told Reuters. So, the Taliban wing of the Democrat Party favors gun control, and are in favor of free speech that does "not work against national values", like "tolarance" or CRT. Good to know

 How to determine the truth of a matter: 1: Go to the side the Left hates, and find out what they have to say: For example, I wanted to know what was happening with the Sheikh Jarrah controversy.  So I did a Duck Duck Go search (never use Google first, never use Google for anything political) and found this https://www.jns.org/sheikh-jarrah-a-legal-background/ 2: Then go to the side supported by the Left, and see what they have to say about the things the other side claimed. So, in this case, I went here: https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-sheikh-jarrah-jerusalem-neighbourhood-eviction-explained 3: Compare What I found was that The JNS site had reported everything covered by MEE.  But while MEE stopped at the point where things were going to start going bad for them, JNS kept on going, bringing in the details that made a difference. MEE: In 2005, the Israeli court dismissed Ottoman documents presented by Suleiman Darwish Hijazi, one of the residents of Sh...
