Steve Thomas Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 (edited) Vermont lawmaker apologizes for repeatedly pouring water in her colleague’s bag Updated 3:36 PM CDT, June 18, 2024 https://apnews.com/article/water-bag-vermont-legislature-legislator-morrissey-carroll-2f7a9676e2dca2bc286a8ce2f825c39a MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — “A Republican state lawmaker from Vermont has apologized for repeatedly pouring water into a Democratic colleague’s bag, after he caught her doing it on video. State Rep. Mary Morrissey publicly apologized to state Rep. Jim Carroll, colleagues and the citizens of Vermont from the House floor on Monday. Both are from Bennington, a town of about 15,000 in the southwestern corner of the state. “I am truly ashamed for my actions,” Morrissey said of “her disrespectful conduct” toward Carroll. She said she had apologized directly to Carroll and would be working toward “resolution and restoration through out legislative process.” In response, Carroll told the chamber that he heard the sincerity in her voice but that he had to be frank, saying: “For five months, I went through this,” and Morrissey had a choice each time she did it. “It was torment,” he said.” Well, you know, some people got issues.

W. Niederhut Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 1 hour ago, Douglas Caddy said: Israeli foreign minister says decision on all-out war against Hezbollah is near | Hezbollah | The Guardian What we're witnessing, IMO, is the catastrophic end stage of Likud Party/Neocon militarism in the Levant. Not sure what "solution" could have resulted in a less bloody outcome for the European Zionist experiment in Palestine. A constructive two-state solution should have been imposed years ago-- backed by the U.S. and the UN. Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, and the Neocons wrote papers in the 1990s about strategies to use the U.S. military to weaken and destroy Israel's Muslim neighbors-- Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, and Iran-- after a catalyzing "New Pearl Harbor" event. But the post-9/11 Wolfowitz plan, ultimately, backfired by creating a Shiite axis from Tehran to Baghdad and Damascus-- after Saddam Hussein's Baathist regime was deposed in Iraq. Hezbollah is aligned with the Tehran-Baghdad-Damascus Axis. So is Russia. If full blown war breaks out between Israel and the Moscow-Tehran-Baghdad-Damascus Axis, Lord help us. Netanyahu will use nukes if he has to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netanyahu will use nukes if he has to. Hezbollah has 110,00 missiles it could fire at Israel, many of which would pierce the iron dome. There is the possibility of Israel ending up looking much like Gaza. But you are right. N will use nukes if he has to, which could lead to a global conflict. Putin is about to play his plan to shock the West. Who knows how this will end? I think the average American voter will conclude Trump is not mentally fit to deal with such a geological crisis. But neither is Biden to a lesser degree because of his "I am a Zionist" allegiance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W. Niederhut Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 So now Bibi is fully aligned with the MAGA goons in the U.S., and is even making stuff up to impugn Biden's reputation. Terrific. What a swell guy... 🙄 White House Scolds Netanyahu June 19, 2024 at 3:26 am EDT By Taegan Goddard “The White House canceled a high-level U.S.-Israel meeting on Iran that was scheduled for Thursday after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video on Tuesday claiming the U.S. was withholding military aid,” Axios reports. “President Biden’s top advisers were enraged by the video — a message U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein delivered personally to Netanyahu in a meeting hours after it was published, two U.S. and Israeli sources say. Then the White House decided to go a step farther by canceling Thursday’s meeting.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
