@#3 ... Okay. I'll put that back on you - why did Obama and Biden enable, empower and en bolden Iran and crap on Israel? ...

Do try to stay current with the actions of the President.

Or, do you want me to start asking about fmr Pres GW Bush?

All that aside, the apparent, and failed, deflection attempt of your current alias speaks volumes about the weakness of the position it holds on the current actions of Pres Trump.

@#5 ... Dems have more billionaire donors ...

Even if that assertion is correct, I have one question ...

Have the Democrats given control of the government to those donors, as Pres Trump appears to do with Mr Musk?

Have the Democrats given control of a major part of the government to a billionaire donor?

If they have done so, please provide a documented example.

@#16 ... This is why DOGE is needed, to ferret out such abuse of our tax dollars ...

"such abuse" ...

That implies you have justification.

What's yer got?

@#31 ... Well, you're too dumb to infer meaning from context. ...

Yet another ad hominem attack, instead of addressing the topic.

I am beginning to see a pattern here.

:)

@#32 ... Lamplighter, don't be an effing moron. Obama changes the rules ...

... and how does that deflection attempt explain why this person died?

Or, is your current alias more concerned about ad hominem attacks, and less about people dying?

If I my ask a simple question ...

Why does Pres Trump seem to be endeavoring to p**s off the Country's allies, and snuggle of to the Country's enemies?

More from the article ...

... The city of 85,000 across the border from Port Huron, Michigan is an energy hub with 26 transnational oil and gas pipelines.

Residents of both cities for more than a century helped each other out, for example, if a fire broke out. They jointly held hockey tournaments, the last one just two weeks ago.

Their economies are very integrated and personal bonds run deep, Sarnia mayor Mike Bradley told AFP.

"But it all seems to be coming to an end. And it does not appear that we're going to be able to resurrect that relationship in the future," he said. ...

@#34 ... Jeff won't bother to explain his position, cause he can't, cause he isn't too bright. He is interested only in blowing ---- up. ...

I disagree.

I think that current alias is quite intelligent.

And that is the issue.

That current alias seems to be focused upon disruption, not discussion.

So, there may be an apparent intelligent current alias here that seems to be focused more upon disruption, than providing information and fostering a rational discussion.

imo, it is not the intelligence of that current alias that I question.

It is the apparent end goal it may want to achieve.

@#29 ... Just read what I wrote in #24 if you still have questions, you're too stupid with which to have a conversation. Troll. ...

I did read that before I replied.

My answer, and questions, stand.

No answer to the questions I posed.

All your current alias seems to have are ad hominem attacks against those who dare to raise a question about what it posts.

Note that I may not disagree with your current alias' posts, I just want more information.

And in response to my questions, I was attacked, citing my intelligence ("you're too stupid") with no evidence whatsoever for that assessment..

@#7

Honest on my part, or quite lame on the #4 poster's part?

More from the article ...

... "It needs to die," he wrote.

AP reported that workers at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) were denied access to confidential documents at USAID on Saturday and that the Trump Administration subsequently put on leave the two USAID security officials who refused to grant access. ...

Early Joe Walsh ...

@#26 ... The elites in the ruling caste put a higher priority on ruthlessly enforcing a meaningless and insignificant gesture rather than keeping life saving medicine affordable for all. ...

Oh, your comment may refer to the billionaires that Pres Trump is promoting to governing status?

And the wealthy behind private equity, who seem to be most concerned about extracting the most amount of money from the healthcare system?

@#4 ... Resulting in more rightwing bullshht. ...

Yeah, but the views I expressed in my #3 comment were because of things I saw on Facebook, grotesque things, imo, before Mr Zuckerberg seemed to kiss the most ample derriere of Pres Trump to settle the lawsuit.

They occurred weeks (months?) ago.

The images Facebook presented to me may scar me for life.

@#26 ... the elites in the ruling caste put a higher priority on ruthlessly enforcing a meaningless and insignificant gesture rather than keeping life saving medicine affordable for all. ...

OK, let's go with that ...

Who, specifically, are the elites you cite?

... a higher priority on ruthlessly enforcing a meaningless and insignificant gesture ...

What, specifically, is that gesture?

... rather than keeping life saving medicine affordable for all ...

Yeah, so you seem to state more of a Democrat aim than a Republican aim?

@#1 ... That was the original of social media until the Dems threatened to clamp down on those companies ...

It was the social media companies who clamped down because the comments posted violated the terms of service of the sites.

So, your current alias' ~concern~ seems to be more with the social media companies enforcing their terms of service of the social media companies, and not the Democrats.

When I visit Facebook, the Reel videos and other ads that are presented to me are, well, odd.

Quite odd.

I have been reducing my Facebook participation of late. But not because of Facebook's policies, but more because my nieces and nephews have move elsewhere.

@#1 ... That's how Americans Should Resist. Even if they're not Citizens. ...

A peaceful protest.

Yup.

Reminds me of ...

Police protests block I-84 in Hartford (2020)
https://www.courant.com/2020/06/01/police-protests-block-i-84-in-hartford-westfarms-closes-out-of-
abundance-of-caution-trump-tells-governors-to-crack-down-with-arrests/

... When demonstrators flooded I-84 and halted traffic in both directions, state troopers watched the group and did not move to clear the highway. After about 20 minutes, some troopers and demonstrators held hands across the westbound lane. One trooper took a knee with 22-year-old David Walker and other protesters.

Walker, of Hartford, said afterward that having officers kneel with protesters communicated respect and shared trust. ...

@#69 ... So, as it is primarily Americans smuggling it in, how is that stuff crossing the US border? ...

Looks that way.

.. Sounds like it is the responsibility of US Customs who does all the cross-border inspections? ...

Yeah, but ... (you had to know there would be a "but" ...)

The drug carriers vs the CBP is a continuing challenge.

When one path is closed down, another path emerges.

CBP needs to constantly react to the changing tactics of those who bring the drugs across the borders.

Taking a different approach, why is there such a demand for that drug in the US?

Maybe helping those who seem to need it to stop needing it may reduce the influx of the drug?

Unfortunately, Pres Trump seems to prefer to make a lot of noise about attacking the symptom, while doing nothing to resolve the actual cause of those symptoms.

@#7 ... Putin has recreated KAOS, the mocking version of the Soviet Cold War paramilitary agency in the Get Smart TV series. ...

Funny how those old TV shows seem to be more relevant than ever of late.

@#15 ... Trump and Musk both come from White Supremacist roots. ...

That does seem to be the case.

But, I have to ask, if that is the case, why don't they just admit that, and then move on to implementing their agendas?

@#31 ... This is a pretty good historical review of this issue ...

How so?

@#99 ... There will be a lot of focus on how this particular airport has been operated. Very heavy traffic. Very tight operating parameters. ...
