The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Now that our chance to hold politicians accountable has passed, they have a free hand, for the next two years. Is there still a bipartisan majority of Israeli slaves willing to look the other way, while the war goes on?

Hakeem Jeffries has announced his candidacy for Speaker. A couple tidbits:

Over his career, Jeffries has pocketed some $1.7M from the Israel lobby.

A few months ago, Jeffries met with Jarred Kushner, before naming the person to head the Dem party committee on middle east policy.

Here's another bit: a clip on TYT of a Fox Noise talking head, noting that Jeffries will have so many people in his caucus, he can ignore the "socialists". By "socialists" does he mean those who might oppose giving more to the "JCs", at the expense of the Proles? Or, by "socialists" does he mean those who do not get in line with Jeffries' pro-Israel policy.

Even more: Trump and Vance have both attributed the GOP's drubbing, at least in part, on the war. So, what is the fix? Leave Iran alone, to end the war quickly, or bomb Iran into the stone age fast, to end the war quickly? And, if it's more war, bigger war, bloodier war, will the Dems, under Jeffries, look the other way?

I don't know.
