Old Guy

Giving 15 dollars to a group with a democratic platform doesn't change the fact that he was a registered republican until his death. The authorities are still trying to determine his motivations. The guy at the golf course definitely was a democrat but seemed primarily motivated by the possibility that Trump would end funding to Ukraine. Even given that republicans and their supporters are trying to make it sound like it is some kind of plot.

It's natural that MAGA and Trump would want to blame the Left but of course not only is there no evidence there is no reason to remove Trump. Who does have motivation to slide Trump out of the frame? My money is someone in the republican party. I have no proof but there are a number of good reasons, 1. Trump has lost his mojo while Harris seems to be capturing the imagination of more voters. 2. If Trump loses he goes to jail unless he takes refuge in some country whose leader he loves. Russia maybe, China perhaps, Israel Netanyahu has his own legal woes, North Korea Rocket man would surely find a use for him. But my money would go on Saudi-Arabia. Heck they might even set him up with his own little harem. 3. Trump is old an effective attack used against Biden. But unlike Biden Trump would never quit. His ego wouldn't be able to stand it. 4. Trump has made it clear to the RNC that if he goes down he will take them all with him. He knows who has secrets and given the level of corruption in that party from the supreme court down there is a lot to protect. 5. His cognitive disabilities are becoming more and more apparent getting him out of the picture might give another republican an opportunity to salvage a win. However it might be near impossible for the party to coalesce around one person. Look at the difficulty they had electing a speaker in the House. 6. I bet he has lots of life insurance so perhaps its family. 7. He is not popular with the mainstream republican party - Heck when someone like Dick Chaney announces he is voting for Harris you know the ship is sinking. The Dems want him to finish the race because they know how to rattle him and the more he is rattled the less presidential he appears. Imagine the Trump we saw at the debate in a G8 meeting or in negotiations with any world leader.

The first attempt was by a registered republican seeking fame and glory and was not a "lefty". The second attempt was foiled before the gunman even had a shot. He did call Trump a buffoon but who can argue with that assessment. I would argue, however, that being a buffoon is not reason enough to be shot. There is no evidence that either of these incidents were carried out or orchestrated by "lefties". But then again when did truth ever enter Trumps MAGA world.

Look it up and you will find Hamas leaders have been indicted as well. Of course some of them have been killed by Israel. One in Lebanon and another in Iran. I'm not sure if the one in Iran was also indicted but he was the chief Palestinian negotiator for a cease fire. Sure proof that Israel really wants peace, kill the opponents negotiator. Can you imagine the outrage if the Israeli negotiator was killed. As an aside you know that Netanyahu is being tried for corruption. These charges are years old and he has been fighting a delaying action. One of the possible outcomes if found guilty is political exile. Of course, if he wanted to leave, rather than be shunned. he has many rich friends in the US but with an international warrant out for war crimes is anywhere safe. If things go badly for Trump the two of them might be looking for sanctuary. Maybe Trump could call on Rocket Man in North Korea.

In which case what are your top ten lies she's told? That should be easy given you believe she has told tens of millions.

The three or four what, was it the drought in Syria, the environmental degradation in Dafar or are you claiming that Lake Chad isn't shrinking. Perhaps you were taking issue with the first three or four words of the IPCC report. Or maybe its that literal thinking problem you have where by Climate change has to be solely the cause of the Syrian civil war or its not true. Contributing factor might be a phrase you can incorporate into your vocabulary. The IPCC link has lots of good information and all kinds of charts with data you could explore if you wanted but as I told you before answers are rarely simple. And by the way what's with the name calling?

Yep I will need to be more literal with you in the future. Here is another link and although it doesn't say 1200 Palestinians it does shows that the west bank is controlled and is being settled by Jews and the IDF has been raiding the west bank for years. Really? You really need to give your head a shake and maybe read more. The myth that Israel wants a two state solution was rejected by Ben Gurion, the father of Israel, who said early on favored the transfer policy. Goldmann reported that Ben Gurion had told him in private in 1956:[76]

The international court and most of the world would disagree with you. A sneak attack by the Palestinian air force using flying bicycles. Don't you think its kind of weird how they were able to punch so far into land controlled by Israel and across an armed border. In what world does 1139 dead Israeli settlers justify the death of over 41,000 Palestinians including over 3,000 children? If that is your belief then I don't see much room for discussion. But you might want to have a look at the principle of proportionality.

Good idea how about starting with the settlements?

Wow how clever a deflection is that? Here's one for you. If the dentist tells you, "you have a cavity" how much of it is caused by the candy you've eaten in the past year and how much is caused by the candy you've eaten in the last 5 years or is it all caused because you don't brush your teeth. There is rarely an all or nothing simple answer no matter how much we wish it were.

Here are a few for you. BTW it is so easy to find answers to questions. You see there is this thing called google and all you have to do is type in a question. I asked, Is there good science to support climate change I took the top choice which you will find here Why do you think so many migrants are moving north both in Europe and North America?

How about getting rid of the settlements that continue to pop up on the west-bank. How about ending the ending the Israeli militias that attack Palestinians with the aim of driving them from their homes. How about ending the occupation. You must not be paying attention to the news or you would have noticed IDF do this on an almost daily basis in the west bank. Let me ask you this. You wake up one day, you're sitting there having a coffee when some soldiers show up and usher you and your family outside. You start to ask what's happening and one of the soldiers smacks you aside the head and tells you they are going to bulldoze your house because the neighbor wants to expand his garden. He shows you a court order granting the neighbour title to your land. Would you resist? Of course you will argue that this doesn't happen. But this is exactly how so many Jewish settlements are being built in the Palestinian West Bank.

Wow is this a whataboutism fallacy? Whatever, nice pivot. Since when is any religion not riddled with with schisms, each proclaiming they are the only true way. Some prepared to fight to the death to prove it - god willing. Protestant vs Catholics, Shia vs Sunni, Evangelicals vs any and all takers. Here is a bigger problem for Israel and Jewish people everywhere, Netanyahu's over reach has created 100's of thousands of children who know nothing of peace, who know the sound of gunfire rather than bird song, who have been traumatized by bombs falling and who have lost family. They know only war and they will no doubt wait their opportunity to give back. If I were Jewish I would e begging my government to end the war.

Thanks for the hyperbole. I did like your once a terrorist always a terrorist... So you would agree that the likud party should be prosecuted given that it was begun by terrorists and is currently being led by a man who has an outstanding warrant for war crimes against him?

It makes sense to you that 72% of all adult Americans are REGISTERED Republicans? Giuliani was thrown to the wolves by Commander Trump. What a guy, what a leader. Finally do you honestly believe that Commander or should I say former Commander Giuliani failure on 62 separate occasions to show that the election was stolen was part of a great conspiracy? Sorry I don't have enough time in my life to read the rest of that drivel, since I could see from the chart that it was so far out in la la land.

Or Israel.

What was that mob which in a speech Trump told them to march to the capitol to prevent the election being finalized.

I agree attacking civilians is the act of terrorism. What I would point out that todays terrorist could be tomorrows freedom fighter. If the fight is successful they might even attain high position in government. Case in point Ho Chi Minh united Vietnam, Ben Gurian who was Israel's first PM lead a group Haganah was the largest paramilitary group and opposed any cooperation between Jews and Arabs, instead favored a policy of expulsion. He initially agreed to the bombing of the King David Hotel in which 91 lives were lost. After the bombing he lined up to condemn it. Then there is the the Irgun, a paramilitary group credited with the bombing and together with Lehi aka Stern Gang were responsible for the Deir Yassin massacre in which 107 Arab Villagers including women and children were killed. The Irgun were condemned as a terrorist organization by the UN, the British and the united States government. They were eventually absorbed into the IDF. The IDF's core was the Haganah led by Ben Gurian . As well Irgun's political arm formed the basis of the Likud party which as we know has been in power for most of Israel's history. Oh and the Irgun was led by Menachem Begin who was Israel's sixth Prime Minister. So you see terrorists can become political leaders and even Prime Ministers.

You probably believe as Trump believes that it is impossible for him to lose at anything and that everything he does is perfect like the debate with Harris which of course he won regardless of what Fox News says. And who was actually convicted of 34 counts of Fraud, right that was Trump.

Did he turn the country over or did his mob just fail to accomplish the goal he urged them to do. Like hang Pence because he carried out his constitutional duty. Read Project 2025 and the plan to fire 10,000 civil servant and to replace them with people loyal to Trump. Last time the Military leaders wouldn't set aside their oath to defend the constitution next time those not loyal to Trump won't be there.

What a pithy post. Give yourself a slap on the back and a fist punch or two.

How is he heavily invested in America? He is only invested in himself. His transactional behaviour is well known. He helped the American economy at the expense of others is an example of this transactional win lose mentality. In the long run it fails as a winning strategy. The best deals are the ones where both parties feel like they won what they needed. How can you possibly say he values the military given how he treated John McCain saying he wasn't a hero because he was captured. He called soldiers killed in war losers and suckers. What border policies holding children in wire cages and separating families. You forgot to mention his increase in the debt. That's OK you can read about it here And specking about id10t even you would have to admit that his idea about applying tariff's on everything imported into the US is bound to end badly for consumers.

Assuming you are a conservative, I can understand why you think only liberals and NDP should be tested. If you are a fair example of of a conservative there just wouldn't be enough conservative voters to find the voting booth.

They are a terrorist group because that is how Israel and its allies label them. If there was an objective definition of terrorist then you would have to include the Zionist settlers whose settlements have been declared illegal by the UN and many western countries. Lets not forget also that the Netanyahu government funded Hamas as a counterpoint to to the PLO and to prevent the formation of a Palestinian State, (the two state solution) Here is an article in the Israel Times https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/

Like making sure Haitians don' eat their neighbors pets and that Doctors don't kill newborns? Be honest the only focus DT has is on himself.
