    IMO most people who understand the issues feel the same way. My cable supplier carries the Israel international 24 hour news channel. Most of the politicians feel that almost all or all of the protests are anti-semitic. But they do have guests that make arguments that suggest your points. Its very difficult for the average citizen to separate Hamas from the Gaza population in general. I would add that I support the rights of Palestinian people to an independent state.But it has to be free of Iranian influences.

    Spain, Norway and Ireland have already shown the direction of world opinion on Netanyahu's war strategy. On the license that Israel has given to illegal West Bank right wing settlers. Most of the support that Israel received after the Hamas attacks has faded to nothing. There is a significant opposition to the methods of the IDF in its pursuit of Hamas within Israel. Having said that most Israeli citizens including myself believe Hamas must be destroyed. Since this is a trump v Hitler thread. I have to add that like Trump, Netanyahu has also been indicted for corruption, fraud and breach of trust.

    Well some do. For some its anything in a skirt when they are young. For those who can't change its porn stars when their wife is pregnant.

    Which gives rise to the question. Who is worse Trump or Benedict Arnold.

    Well Duh. A woman in a position of power over a uneducated white man. How more oppressive can you get. Hold my beer while I check her e-mails for the evidence.

    He likely forgot how Trump personally sold out a US ally during his "peace talks". Or how Trump pressured the Afghan government to release over 5,000 Taliban fighters before the talks even got started. i.e. before consulting with the Afghan government. Here is the chronology of events according to FactCheck.org.

    Or create winners. It's his weekend as well and for that he deserves a salute. and to the victors go the rewards:

    I gotta go with Joe on this one. One thing about trump he sure brings out the passion in politics.

    Bigun wants to be seen as a victim? I've never met him but I doubt thats the case. Or do you mean that trump wants to be the victim?

    Voters vote for many reasons. Most identify with a few, perhaps 10-15 major reasons. Then narrow it down to a half dozen issues of most importance. For some its guns, government involvement in the economy, religion, the USSC, military spending, etc. Not everyone is a political animal so to speak like the participants in this forum. Most people tune out issues that they think don't effect their lives. That doesn't make them stupid, racists, fascists, etc. Its why most republicans don't recognize the dangers associated with trump. The US survived one experience with the cancer of trump. It would survive another. But I wouldn't wish cancer on most anyone.

    To some extent, "what can they do". Look at the last remaining republican politician with a backbone, Liz Cheney. Look at Rick Wilson the founder of the Lincoln Project a 30 year republican. Author of the acclaimed book "Everything Trump touches dies". Once a master manipulator, politician, populist gains control of the reins of a party. i.e. the nomination process. Only radiation and a cocktail of poisons will kill it.

    Agree this election should be a slam dunk for Biden. But he has done little to deal with mass immigration issues on the southern border. Done little to control spending, the $8.5 billion subsidy to Intel is a good example. He has implemented more protectionist trade subsidies than trump did. He could have let another democrat run given his lack of personal appeal due to his age. But these criticisms should all be in the Biden critics thread.

    Agree. Its gets lost in the noise sometimes but about 50% of all Americans are republicans. IMO only 10% are racists. Keep in mind that democrats have racists in their party as well.
  14. Phil1111
    It should all be more accurately called fascist tendencies. But in order to penetrate the apathy of many people a certain hyperbole is necessary.

    Collusion

    Phil1111 replied to billvon's topic in Speakers Corner

    'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Trump does the same things over and over again and gets away with it.

    Spine?

    Its very interesting how quickly the combination of power and cash can corrupt. Nikki Haley is the most recent to visit her neurologist to assess the damage from her latest u-turn.

    Nice to see that Trump's pick for Russian ambassador is trying to improve relations. It lays the groundwork(no pun intended) for new Trump hotels in Russia and Ukraine. I wonder if he'll cover the planning for the new Russian republic called Ukraineistan.
  19. Phil1111
    When you're paying for a nuclear program sometimes politicians have to make sacrifices by using a 45 year old helicopter.

    Agree Allahu Akbar. After Putin he would be #2 asshole that deserves a bullet. Unfortunately the way Iran is there are many others just like him.

    I'd have thought that the Mossad would be too busy in the West Bank.
  22. Phil1111
    Some more so than others.

    Agree, rumor has it that subscribers to NOAA and Nature will get discounts on Prozac.

    Those ash frames giving you a woody?

    The Lincoln Project has finally turned its attention to the Hitler/ Trump debate. From 7 hours ago Pretty much nailed it.
