Huh? During an active conflict, hitting the weapon storage sites is a priority. Logistics wins wars.

He canceled 2 mainstream media interviews too. His sudden health decline should be noted. Saw this in my Aunt with dementia too. The dancing thing? Ya, she did stuff like that...

That is a Great story.

You mean income. If insurance companies are covering it, the x-rays are a revenue stream.

I experienced it last year. Not that my new card was instantly used fraudulently but half my subscriptions were already updated.

How do you feel about those choices?

Alex, What is an "irrelevant deflection"?

Are you Carlos? Only 11 views on that Xit.

5240.1? Ronald Raygun EO from 1982? MAGAts can't even get it straight. They are talking 5240.1 when they mean the updated version 5240.01 which updates and reissues it. 5240.01 was originally Bush the Lessor's order. It was just reissued by Biden and released TO THE PUBLIC. So the product of to Republicans is now suddenly suspect in your mind?

I am not sure what that Xitter post and your post are about really.

This stuff has been going on for a long time. The problem is it is now on the web platforms. A friend ended up on a watchlist because she was asked if she wanted to go with some folks to a camping retreat. Turns out it was a lot darker than that. The feds were monitoring who was coming and going and more... Apparently it was a group of folks full of violent revolution rhetoric and such. This was almost 20 years ago now. This woman is much more a hippie "Peace & Love" type. I don't know how she ended up hanging around people like that.

Worth noting but you realize a million dollar contribution to Harris to that list is like me spotting her a tenner right? Wait maybe more like a dollar.

That said 3 men 220 million vs 79 and what? 50 million? We didn't include Musk's what 80 million to Trump this quarter? How many more didn't that include? Did any of them also donate the other way? You do realize that plenty some play both sides most likely so they can say "I did back you..."

Trump is a moron who says stupid and reckless stuff.
Yes and then acts on it. Do you need an actual list?

Dems have created an entire censorship regime. They've abused their powers to target their political opponents.
Perhaps you care to illustrate that with an actual list? Convicted felons pardoned or not is not "abusing power" but rather enforcing the law.

I am far more concerned with what Democrats and their allies have been doing and will only continue to do even more if they retain power.
Oh pray, do tell (looking for a bag of chips...)

It is posts like this that illustrate to me how baked or sodden the minds hard right folks are

" Harris: Well, there are approximately 5 million, to your point Craig. We have to have a buyback program and I support a mandatory buyback program. It's got to be smart, we got to do it the right way, but there are 5 million at least some estimate as many as 10 million and we're going to have to have smart public policy that's about taking those off the streets."

And we have deflection to 2A. 2A's current interpretation is bought and paid for. In large part with Russian money in recent years as it turned out. She is for smart gun control of AR style weapons. What is your point? We highly control and ban fully automatic machine guns right?
My neighbor who I thought was otherwise a great guy put up his gun owners for Trump flag. We got to talking about politics because or our Harris sign. Him:"Aren't you afraid of the government taking your guns? Me: No, I have no concern about that and I bet I have several times as many as you. Him: I don't think so, there is no way you would vote for Harris if you were a gun guy. We then compare notes, he doesn't believe me so I start listing them and then show him. Turns out I have over 5 times as many guns as him... (Note one or two MIGHT fall under a ban and I would happily surrender and replace them.)

I wish I could say this was a mind blowing revelation on the part of Trump. It's not. He's fermenting the idea in the fermented minds of his rabid followers so when it happens and they don't revolt and when it turns on them it is too late.

When they came... etc.

Of course the government wants to combat disinformation. Think about it not like a moron. A differing viewpoint is one thing but when you are being manipulated by the propaganda campaign of America's enemies get reall.

"Normal" Social Media platforms do it out of patriotism here and in other countries laws against it.

The useful tools of the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, et al. don't see it that way. They are like a bass that swallowed the bait - hook, line and sinker. You can't get that hook out is is buried so deep in them.

On the Israeli front... You are right Hamas started this phase of the never ending war. They committed a horrendous crime. The Israeli response is disproportionate. It is effectively a genocide and they have been working on it hard for the last 20 years - little by little.

The Palestinians need to take the route of Gandhi but that will never happen.

They mostly killed each other and that number isn't in the 100k - it is a lot higher if you count all Iraqi deaths during the time. The military killed about 40k combatants. We "set them free" and then the largest sect immediately turned on us and they all essentially were fighting each other. ALMOST makes me think Saddam was right for the way he treated the ------ at least. I still have empathy for the Kurds. They are the only sane ones in the bunch.

Seems like we should have developed some sort of defense over the last couple of years that would have allowed us to acquire at least one of them. Tracking them back to home was something an AIR FORCE base should have been able to do...

So, like most lies, there is a hint of a shred of truth in there somewhere. That isn't to say what is being said is utter BS but there is a root issue that works these people up.

Immigration for example IS an issue. The right wing is full of inflammatory lies on it and they never talk about the truth and root causes.

Palestinian casualties since Oct 2023 = 42,227 (half are women and children); injured = 98,464.

Take those with a grain of salt. They are being reported by Hamas. Hamas has been caught multiple times inflating the numbers killed in an attack by magnitudes. Last I knew it was more like 2/3 were women and children.

That is not to say what Israel is doing is right - I do not condone the way they are fighting. However, the fact is casualties (especially women and children) may be 1/2 to 1/4 of what is reported.

Worked for me. I have an account but I don't pay for it and I wasn't signed in. Seems as though you went over your allowed free articles. Reading WaPo a lot it would seem.

You know, this is as idiotic as it gets. I am sure one here and there did in fact do something so stupid. However for every one you calling for the death of trump you find, you can find 1000 trumpers doing the same about Kamala. Maybe 10,000. Your point?

Somehow it will all be "the libs" fault. You know like weather control...

Effet is not a MAGAt. However he (I assume) is a useful tool.

Um that is both an ethical and moral question.
