President isn't a title of nobility.

"The war is over"

Reminds me of something George W. said when he was taking his own victory lap.

All that remains to be seen is who Donald blames when things head south.

"getting into Heaven"

Trump doesn't believe in Heaven.

It's just another way for that narcissistic little POS to slurp attention.

"I suppose it's because I don't have that special gift, like some people, especially liberals, to know exactly what others mean and are thinking.

Or perhaps no common sense.

"I never imagined a time when the return of hostages didn't warrant a banana headline"

BOAZ

No bananas without HAMAS disarming.

Wake me up when that happens,

It seemed to me you were justifying people using lasers against Law Enforcement helicopters.

#105 | Posted by madbomber

It seemed to me you wanted those people killed.

I'm not a fan of the troop deployments thing, because troops are not Law Enforcement Officers. They can't arrest anyone. I don't think they can even legally detain people. Even Military Police cannot do that.

1) Yes, thank you for making some of my point.

2) Given they can't do these things, what motive does Trump have in having them there?

Would you have an issue with someone standing at the end of a runway and lasing the cockpits of commercial airlines?

Since I've been arguing for peace all this time, what do you think?

The moment reason gives way to cheap taunts.

#95 | Posted by BillJohnson

No, BILL.

It's reasonable to wonder and ask why you have an inability to draw conclusions from Trump's speech and behavior.

Is anyone on this site glad the hostages are returned?

#96 | Posted by BillJohnson

Everyone's glad, BILL.

Now comes the phase when Trump screws things up.

I'm not sure what you're getting at

#99 | Posted by madbomber

Why not? I've made it plain.

I don't claim to know Trump's motives.

#93 | Posted by BillJohnson

Interesting, since he rubs your face in them so often.

They're playing right into Trump's hands giving him a reason for more boots on the ground.

#89 | Posted by BillJohnson

So you agree that Donald is an active agent of political repression?

"My point is the use of lasers pointed at pilots pretty well justifies a stronger action by law enforcement"

89 | Posted by BillJohnson

You send a few cops into the park, and you arrest some people.

Just like always. No need for "stronger" anything.

Makes me wonder what really caused Pres trump to appear to have a change of opinion towards Ukraine?

Flattery and bribes.

#84 | Posted by BillJohnson

You people are completely skipping over the police and civilian law to deal with your hypothetical plane crashes.

That's blood lust. In a different time, it would just be confusing and sad.

Now it's dangerous.

What do you think will happen if they manage to actually cause a crash?

#84 | Posted by BillJohnson

Not a war, BILL.

I wouldn't let a war happen.

Neither would Christ.

Terrorism is defined as the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve a political or ideological gain.

#80 | Posted by madbomber

Then Trump is a terrorist, ICE are terrorists, and you are are terrorist sympathizer.

There is some chance we can get through this muck if people like you can retreive their better angels from teh trash.

I'm not the idiot shooting lasers at police helicopters. Or any aircraft for that matter.

#81 | Posted by madbomber

That's right.

You're the idiot who wants door gunners to kill those people.

" There's no changing your mind, jeff."

Sure there is. That's an easy and lazy out for you and most others to not even try.

#73 | Posted by BellRinger

If ten or more years of argument and pleading haven't made a dent, nothing will.

Go stand in the corner with MADBOMBER and BILL, and wait for someone to blow up your house because you cheered machine gunners mowing down people with little green laser lights.

You people are fools.

Maybe these helicopters need to start carrying gunners.

You had me convinced that you had been a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force, but now I know you're not.

People like you and BILL set the threshold of actual civil war so damned low that I have to believe that you lust for it.

Putting pilots in harms way sounds like a reckless act of war.

Don't act surprised if corresponding reactions are forthcoming.

#76 | Posted by BillJohnson

As always, BILL, if Americans wage war against Americans in this country I hope that you are among the first to die.

The bloodlust people like you exhibit proves to me that people like you have never seen blood.

I'm glad the Israelis got their people back. That's a good thing.

But Trump's self-absorbed rambling in front of the Knesset reminds me that he will screw this up.

"neither do you project a real awareness of the world around you.

It's an act, I think.

Posted by BellRinger

I'm angry and I'm scared. I think that I have the right to be given objective circumstances. The concern starts with finances in the mindless Trump economy and continues with horror over a spreading military occupation.

Whereas you don't seem to have a nervous system; neither do you project an real awareness of the worls around you.
