Everybody knows how important the law is to the Israelis... especially when it comes to all those settlements on occupied Palestinian lands...

"Lying with fake headlines isn't going to sway anyone's opinion and will only provide more evidence of your lack of honesty"

It's completely 100% true, and I'm not here to sway anyone's opinion, only tell it like it is. Especially when it comes to exposing an obvious Israel apologist like yourself.

#77 that is why they are a bunch of phonies-- American neoconservatism has been so entwined with the existence and well-being of Israel that they cannot help it-- they think it is all part of being a patriotic American.

I must say, Israel and its American zionist sympathizers (many from the evangelical Christian lobby) have done a hell of a job in brainwashing them. They are easy to spot and their arguments are easy to pick apart for the bunch of hypocritical -------- that they essentially are.

Alternate headline:

U.S. Congresswoman banned by Israel (with trump's Approval) for suggesting Israel has excessive influence in US politics

If I were Denmark, I would split Greenland into four pieces and then sell a quarter each to the US, Russia, China and Saudi Arabia.

Then sit back, count the dough, and watch the fun...

Denmark should agree-- come up with a $$$ figure with the promise that Trump and Pence will both resign in order to complete the sale.

I'm sure, as true Americans, Trump and Pence want to do what is best for our country, Long-term.

Israel has the right to exist only in terms of "might makes right", which is not and never has been an inalienable right. Because of this, a group that has grievances regarding its formation has the eternal right to try and destroy it, as long as that group continues to hold the grievance.

Israel is essentially a bathysphere, tethered to its surface vessel America, going slowly deeper and deeper into the depths of the ocean. Eventually, with enough external pressure, it will implode. When iot does, things won't be pretty, both on the inside and on the outside.

#21, Avigdore, I know you really want to make even more of a fool of yourself, but I encourage you to google Madison Grant before you say things like "El Paso Shooter Echoed the Words of Liberal Media". This guy was echoing words of someone who lived way before the "liberal media" ever existed.

That wording you employed only shows your shallow and limited understanding of those motives mentioned in your post, which I never did deny existed in the first place. Unfortunately for you, you are a hyper-partisan water carrier and so you couch everything in terms of 'liberal vs conservative', and your post was an obvious attempt to pin the blame on the murderer's supposedly "liberal" POV, which makes you ultimately a shallow and untrustworthy source for anything remotely objective.

"Dems own this problem"

There was some guy once who passed by Adolph Hitler in 1929 while Hitler was walking down some German road. That guy could have killed Hitler instead of passing by without a word.

Reductio Ad-Hitlerum be damned-- I blame that guy for WWII.

It must be Obama's fault...

It wouldn't have fallen so much if it didn't go up so much during the Obama years...

"Science during the Trump era wins again."

Knocked completely out of whack long ago, slowed down by gas, and with its distant eccentricity and dark, icy core surrounded by chokingly vile, orange methane clouds, the International Astronomical Union will give it the perfect planetary name: Dotard.

Planet Dotard will take approximately 15,000 years make a complete revolution around the sun, and just like the real thing, hopes are that, once glimpsed by telescope for a brief, 4 year period, Dotard will again pass out of sight and mind for many, many generations to come.

Vizzini's maxim remains at least 50% true...

"The results of trump's horrible policies and poisonous lies will be felt for decades and longer""

Similar to the Civil War-- there will be a period of reconstruction. Things fall apart-- then re-coalesce into something different

"The republican party was horrible before trump and it will remain horrible after him

It was only horrible since 1964. Before that time, it wasn't so bad. There won't be a Republican party after 2020-- at least, not as you know it. Sure it may have the same name, but then again, we can't lump the likes of Donald Trump with Abe Lincoln anymore than we can lump the likes of James Buchanan with John F. Kennedy.

"But if you can't see that she was still vastly superior to trump in nearly every way"

She wouldn't have killed the eminently killable Republican party and we would have had to contend with it's nonsense for countless future election cycles, but Trump has a chance to do that very thing within a brief, 4 year period. Superior indeed...

Shock television became shock politics virtually overnight.

Oh my God! They Killed Jeffy!

"So if you had to have one of them, you wouldn't have a preference as to which one?"

LOL. I can play that hypothetical Krauthammer-esque question game too: if Hillary was elected and ended up starting World War III, would you have wished you and everyone else that voted for Hillary would have voted for Trump?

I hate Trump. I hate Hillary. I probably hate Trump more now because he won and Hillary didn't, although it is extremely likely that if Hillary won I'd hate her more than Trump. Hillary was the worst choice the Dems could have made back in '16. I knew this beforehand and I knew it afterwards, and I am only an immobile, mostly hollow vegetable with a bunch of seeds for brains. How come everyone else couldn't have figured this out?

The same question could be asked of Captain Edward Smith and Co. when they decided to go full speed ahead through a known iceberg field one chilly April night 107 years ago, thinking their little metal canoe was unsinkable. Hindsight is 20/20 and therefore only for asses, but that's a whole different argument...

"Let me ask you this. Is there a difference between a flu and AIDS"

Average Yearly Death toll from the Flu: 650,000 and rising...
Average Yearly Death toll from AIDS: 770,000 and falling...

Pretty similar. At least you can't catch AIDS from a sneeze.

#3 your understanding of the motives of the shooter is shallow-- completely partisan in nature and limited in scope because you fail to understand how eco-fascism bridges the gap between modern day Republican talking points/calls to arms and old school environmentalism that was originally swaddled in the age-old American fabric of racism.

Google Madison Grant...

When two partisan political worlds collide this ---- happens. Some would say its just words vs. physical harm, trying to show one person in the right while the other isn't.

Words are made of sounds and sounds are directed sound waves, which can cause pressure enough to damage the delicate hearing nerves that each of us has within our heads.

So whoever said that words cannot hurt is a liar.

Even though I support freedom of speech, I do have this anecdote to share-- a long time ago in a school hallway not so far away, a kid in my fifth grade class screamed into the ear of one of my friends. He ended up suffering a perforated eardrum, permanent hearing damage, hyperacusis and permanent tinnitus-- the latter of which used to drive him nuts. In high school and college he shied away from normal everyday noises and became increasingly isolated and quick to anger and eventually turned to drugs and alcohol to cope with his "curse".

He overdosed in 2015 at the age of 26. He is one of six kids in my graduating class that have OD'd so far. Still, I always wonder if he would've have gone down that path if it wasn't for those "harmless" words shouted directly into his ear.

If Trump doesn't like it, IraGoldberg doesn't like it....

My proposed solution would be to send an interplanetary towtruck into the outer solar system, uncoil a massive winch to capture an icy moon or planet (like Enceladus or Triton or even Pluto), tow it back, and then place it alongside the Earth to cool it off. Sort of like a massive, planetary icepack.

All it would cost is a few trillion dollars. A drop in the bucket. Trump can further raise tariffs on all brown-skinned nations to cover it.

I'd support the GOP if they weren't a bunch of worthless TFWs. (Trump Feces Wallowers). Rewind to 1963 and before that, more or less, despite some slightly smelly outliers, they were a pretty damn fine party.

But why would I want to support them now?

That's like carousing in a pigsty while telling everyone that at least you don't have intimate relations with the fattest, stinkiest, loudest one.

No wonder Darth Vader's chest control panel was analog. Imagine shutting off your entire breathing and speech apparatus with an accidental swipe of a prosthetic limb or a misplaced force-choke.

Smart guy. Well, except for the making intimate friends with a creepy old man who was an obvious Sith part... still, a smart guy.

"Throw a black robe on it with some doilies attached and you just described "Justice" Ginsberg."

I agree, although Ginsburg doesn't have quite the feverish cult following that Trump has with his noxious stream of feces wallowers who go around regurgitating his talking 'points', lapping up his body waste while calling him "a genius" on a daily basis...

Although the next time Justice Ginsburg holds a nativist rally and relieves herself via bald-faced lies and jackbooted threats into the open mouths of his rabid, vapid followers I'll consider myself corrected.

Trump will be replaced by a baseball-sized turnip with a face drawn with a Sharpie, pipe cleaners for arms and legs and a piece of orange felt held in place by hodgepodge for hair.

The turnip will be placed atop a small wooden crate in the oval office and given constant care by a team of dedicated White House olericulturists.

The improvement will be positive, immediate and profound.
