the Georgia Secretary of State counts the votes, and the governor certifies the electors for the candidate who got the most votes. The governor certified Joe Biden’s electors on November 20th.
Interesting that these people didn't commit a crime for certifying an election when the number of illegally cast votes was known to exceed the margin of victory.

I don’t think this applies to the general category of Syrians. Sweden was right to expect an Ellis Island scenario where they get a bunch of productive workers ready to do cheap labor.
What why? These are literally men who refused to take a side in a civil war.

But infertile opposite-sex couples could always get married...?
That the law was over broad for its purpose is not a killer argument. Many laws are over broad for their intended purpose. Also for much of history this wouldn't be a worthwhile inquiry for the state.
Such as...?
Disease control. Encouraging procreative coupling.

I guess we're officially in the era of every US president henceforth being impeached by the other side.
I still doubt Biden will be actually impeached. This move was made to 1) Placate a subset of the caucus, and 2) To theoretically increase the House's legal position in battles for documents and witnesses.
And plus, the whole idea of Biden being impeached would be a nonstarter for Republicans if Biden's whole family hadn't gotten at least $20 million from foreign characters from corrupt countries (it aint like Hunter is doing his business in Japan and France everyone!), with the less proven, but indicated number being closer to $200 million. If Joe was currently VP and this conduct had occurred when he was SOS, he'd already be out. If Kamala was a viable candidate in 2024, he'd already be out.
Treating this like its a tit-for-tat is silly. There is no comparison between this and the Ukraine impeachment of Trump. You could debate the J6 impeachment if you want, but I find that to be mostly a genuine attempt to punish perceived bad behavior brought on by Democrats gaslighting themselves about how protests evolve into riots on occasion.

It should in San Fransico. The city's population is less than in 1950. https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/23130/san-francisco/population
LA is probably its own beast. But it still holds that the homeless encampments in LA are, mostly, on extremely valuable land. And my suspicion is that if you built a bunch of row houses in Crenshaw that you would not solve the camp situation.

There are people who like it, a small amount. There are a greater number of people who like not having to drive to their job because it is so close. The people driving there don't want to be there at all, they wish they could magic their office to a different location not in Manhattan.

A male Syrian refugee had the option of, instead, joining the Syrian Armed Forces, the Syrian National Army, or the Free Syrian Army and/or providing material support for one of those.

If you think all vegetables are gross, you are either a picky eater or ten.
Or I just know that they are worse and ruin the meal. Just like a mixed drink is inferior to just drinking the cheap vodka and then enjoying your soda. There is no single malt vegetable that I've found. Better to just chug a handful of spinach and then get on with the good part of the meal.
When I started eating them again as an adult, I learned that brussel sprouts (!!) properly sauteed, are actually delicious
Oft alleged to me. This comes in two forms in my experience: Tastes like bacon, because its actually like 30% bacon, or bad.
No reason for me to deal with these illusions. I just eat raw spinach or kale, in 25 seconds, and move on with life.

True, maybe the real issue is that there are so few community spaces where kids can organically have serious discussions with seasoned/trustworthy adults.
This used to be sports and scouts for boys, but entryism by pedos and lack of policing of this (largely because of the gay rights movement and their conflation of the two) ruined that.

Wasn't this just recently part of an ambush in the area? Mentioning it makes me think you are uniformed or trolling.

Also, the US has leverage on Israel and no leverage on a Hamas that's already maximally sanctionned.
Not at all, Hamas is fully dependent on NGO aid to maintain its rule. There is almost no government in the world that would be easier to smoke out with a US led coalition that does the easy thing of "doing nothing."

Oh I disagree. You can't have such a standard practice without willing participation of the vast majority of the population. Almost everyone over age 10 knows why they are there and is agreeing to it.

Is there a path forward besides: wait for Palestinians to undergo a complete spiritual and cultural transformation? ( Or for the international community to give Israel a freebie on genocide)
No, and we should.
Why isn’t it also on Israel to try to find a leader like, I don’t know, a charismatic Jesus kind of guy who loves the Palestinians even though many of them will terrorize?
Because then we would lose 8 Million productive humans so some crazy people can occupy a really cool coastline.

It sounds like an inherently ideological and groomer or groomer-adjacent book. Is that too sexy a dress for kids? No. But it is a curated image, that is selected for minimum offensiveness (and it still is because it still lies in the uncanny valley of weirdness). The point of the whole thing is to prime children into a certain deviant lifestyle. They will thus where the most offensive thing they think they can get away with, and when no cameras around (so they think) they encourage the children to dance sexually.

The appropriate Christian response is to ignore them because as you have noted, they are engaged in a business operation and you have no moral obligation to engage in commerce with any individual business. If they are more agressive than that you may have a moral obligation to engage in self defense or defense of others, including up to the use of lethal force.

The entire justification of Palestinian violence is that Israel is illegally occupying their land
That's what they say, but I don't believe them. They are more akin to Russia in their situation IMO. Intentionally cartoonishly evil.
Hillary also didn't have institutional support locked in for vote harvesting machines and widespread court agreement that illegal or semi-legal last minute changes to procedure do not result in an election being re-done, it results is a suble finger wag and a shrug.
