The Frankish Reich

Your response would have been much STRONGER with Some Random Capitalization. Learn From the MASTER. You are an UNPRESIDENTED fail.

It is not a "smear" to quote someone accurately. If there is something inaccurate, point it out. The guy has clearly stated that he does not believe the Holocaust was a real thing, that he questions whether the moon landings actually happened, that he believes 9/11 was an inside job, and that America was better before women had the right to vote. And this is your candidate. Oh, and Trump's too.

What's with the random capitalization?

Israel is systematically enacting its own From the River to the Sea policy.

And if you listen to them, a lot of these kids really believe they’ll be an influencer or YouTube star, so finishing high school and going to college is just a thing you do until that becomes a reality. I know it’s an “ok boomer” comment, but there really is a culture of laziness.

Trump's overwhelmingly most important legislative achievement: signing off on Paul Ryan's tax cuts.

These are CIVIL matters. The 8th Amendment bans cruel and unusual punishment for commission of crimes. Not to mention that the total amount of the fines/penalties would (taking Trump at his word) amount to something like 1/16 of his net worth, hardly "excessive." You are so far off base that you are somewhere outside the ballpark. I try not to comment on things I know absolutely nothing about; you should try it!

Good try. But no, it's not better. Because this story is about Iranian assets in the United States, hence "INTERNATIONAL" espionage or even terrorism.

Look at 0:16 as he mangles "Venezuela" and then just aborts rather than even trying again. And what the hell is that in the clip starting at 1:04? He just trails off into gibberish rather than even attempting to complete a thought. Not normal.

If only I could give you guys are real-time MCAT do-over ...

Or because someone doesn't understand what "domestic" means

There you go. Never an original thought. Cut and paste from some weirdo's twitter without attribution.

Why would you start a thread titled "Domestic Terrorism" in order to post about Germany and Central America?

I'll wait for @Orlando Tim to answer, but I kind of doubt these are kids who see "no future." My experience (just from the parent side) is that if anything they have too much self-esteem and too much confidence in their ability to get ahead without doing the work.

How is this even possible? Are the parents just completely disconnected? Do these kids (Honors) expect to go to college?

And so another sane/experienced/smart Republican candidate bites the dust.

He's pretty adamant about there being only TWO GENDERS. But are the reptile people able to change their sex like chameleons change their colors? I can't wait for the debate. REPTILE PEOPLE BEWARE!

Is it safe to eat Doritos again? And meanwhile, you continue to force us to look at that. Like those old Peter Pan images that used to show up all the time ...

Hey, look, I found QAnon! And he's the Republican candidate for Governor of the Tar Heel State. NCBillsFan's dream come true!! And you just know that (*^*&%^$^#voted for him.

So I guess life doesn't necessarily begin at conception, Mr. Speaker, provided that enough of your kind of voters would like to have an IVF baby?

Republicans now believe in killing babies too, from the little persons in the test tubes straight up to the 15 week olds!

I don't know that I'd call it a "national security" vulnerability, but it is a security vulnerability in general. TSA puts a huge emphasis on "knowing who the passenger is," which means that there is a biometric record establishing that you are who you say you are and not someone on the various no-travel lists. I've seen this at the airport - recent arrivals trying to figure out what they're supposed to show at TSA. And the answer is ... basically the CBP One app registration, which has no meaningful biometric info. This may be someone who traveled without a passport or who had a passport stolen, or who claims that he had a passport stolen. Compare that to the hoops we have to go through to travel - I'm still waiting for my Global Entry appointment after doing the preregistration about 9 months ago ...

The video you posted - really a powerpoint of key grabs from the NYT deep reporting - is wrong or deceptive on key points, such as suggesting that CIA operatives were actually on Russian soil. Again - GO TO THE SOURCE. It is a very well sourced and reported story in (gasp!) the NYT. You are free to argue your own conclusions after reading it, including whether the US has a key strategic interest in Ukraine and, if not, whether we should just let Russia have it. But at least that would be based on real reporting, not something called "The Crux."

All I can say is: RTFA. I mean the original NYT article, not someone else's take on it. Here it is. If it's paywalled, well, there's workarounds posted all over the place. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/25/world/europe/cia-ukraine-intelligence-russia-war.html bottom line: Ukraine (with USA and UK critical assistance) did provoke a tantrum in Putin because they thwarted his plan to install a Russian puppet government there. So the noninterventionists may have a point, but if so, the point is this: we should cede the Soviet Union's historical sphere of influence to Putin in a kind of eastern European Russian Monroe Doctrine.

Implying that Putin's invasion was at least somewhat justified and a little bit provoked. Oh, please tell: what were these provocations? I see. We must be more sensitive to a dictator's "litany of grievances" and make sure our allegiances kowtow to him. We must not assist an ally in gathering intelligence about a possible invasion of it's own territory, lest the dictator's behemoth next door takes offense and launches a full-scale bombing campaign against its civilians.
