Are you really turning on someone who has also consistently been against Trump and would agree with you most of the time? That is what unhinged extremists do. Its a "for us or against us", mentality where it is either all of nothing and anyone who dares stray even once is the enemy. This is why Trump is still well ahead of dems on the polls despite doing a few very questionable things. I am starting to wonder if the five or six resident tds trolls including you aren't really just one or two extremely lonely people with duplicate accounts.

Most of my coworkers are democrats and/or liberals and were just as disgusted, same with a couple of online and in person democrats that I know. Sadly, here is the only place where I have seen more people justifying it. Some things transcend partisan issues. I respect anyone on either side who can cross party lines occasionally and review each issue on it's own.

Never thought of it from that angle, but I wonder how much this is a factor? If Trump was to change his stance tomorrow and be pro Palestine, I wonder what percentage of the TDS crew here would suddenly decide they were Pro-Israel?

Nearly one century of throwing Molotov Cocktails and rocks, breaking peace agreements, starting wars, and conducting terrorist attacks tend to make people think a little less of you. A couple decades of "being good" lulled millions including myself into thinking differently and hoping that maybe they could coexist or be a dual state, despite warnings from older people who were adults during the peak of their terrorism and remembered how they were. They proved us all wrong by showing their true colors in October of 2023 and spread their ways worldwide. True, not all of them are Hamas, but if we want a sample of how the non-Hamas version acts, we can just look at college campuses over the last couple of years.

I do not care about your twisted propaganda version of history. For the love of God, stop deflecting and stop blaming Trump. Attacking elderly people in another continent with a flamethrower is not free speech and you are an unhinged psycho if you think otherwise. I used to think that Israel and Palestine could coexist and would have been more sympathetic before October of 2023, but the conduct over the last two years has changed that. Palestinians started a battle by killing people at a concert and spread chaos into the US and Europe by destroying everything around them and persecuting Jewish people. The Palestinian people as a nation are carrying themselves as if they are barbaric squatters who know of no other way but violence and Chaos. The fact that not one person in Palestine publicly condemned that attack tells me their true colors. Keeping them as a nation is like letting a rattlesnake roam openly in your house. There will never be peace because their only goal is destruction and the elimination of Israel. Yes, there are no doubt good and peaceful individuals, but they should be able to escape that and go to a more civilized environment. In my opinion, Palestine has lost any right to exist as a nation and they get what they deserve.

No, I support a US department that was created to manage the borders and keep out criminals and people who try to bypass the legal process. Every other country in the world has border patrol, get over it. You on the other hand support terrorism against Jewish people and call for the deaths of government agents for doing their job. You are a warped human being who has let hate corrode you to the point of criminal level irrationality. People with your mentality have said the same crap for ten years, it gets old and more people see through the BS every year. I don't get mad anymore, I laugh because every irrational act and comment makes a Democrat loss more likely in 2026 and 2028. Keep em coming.

Yes, they would have had the suspect up two minutes after the cops caught him without any time for due process, had weeks of candlelight vigils and called for the free speech of all Trump supporters to be suppressed because non-conforming opinions are just too dangerous. That hypothetical attack scenario would be equally as disgusting as yesterday's, but I do not think that you would have to worry about CNN or NBCNews glossing over it.

Lefty mentaility Getting rid of drug dealers and traffickers who came in illegally=Like Hitler Literal persecution, campus pogroms and terrorist attacks on the Jewish race=Mostly peaceful protesting What gets a person to think that way?

Takes like this are why the democrats will not gain power in 2026 and 2028. You have a lot of bitterness in you and the more rational 80 percent of society is sick of extreme hatred like yours. The only difference between people like you and Mohamed Soliman is the ability to gain access to a flamethrower. Get help.

My work team is mostly liberal, (although none nearly as bad as the TBD TDS squad). One of them hinted at it being too convenient, wondering if it was really pro Palestine and was immediately shot down by her fellow libs. I think even most of them realize that a line has been crossed.

The same media and universities that wanted to ban Conservative speakers from public events because "we get freedom of speech, but their view are just too dangerous" still see the Pro-Palestine protests as peaceful after two pure full blown hate motivated terrorist attacks in one week. Let that sink in. Another hot take from C-Section 3. I have you on ignore, but allowed that message just so I could point out that you are an idiot for saying this and this it is an obscenely stupid take that is not even worthy of debating. Trash tier comments like this is why I think the dems still have no chance in 2026 and 2028 despite the tariffs. Don't bother replying because you are still blocked. Have the day that you deserve.

I agree and wish that the Bills would stay neutral. I know a couple of LGBT people who do not appreciate the holiday because they want their lives to be private and think that it brings undue negative attention, so it definitely not just a conservative thing. I feel like the excessive push back from some on the right only taunts them to flaunt things as grossly as possible. I see less overall clashing than other years and it is already less in your face as it was during the COVID toxic conformity era, that is why I go by the "ignore it" strategy. On facebook, I just use the snooze for 30 days. June has 30 days and we are back to normal after that.

I personally agree, but was posting that more as a reaction to what I saw on facebook when the bills changed the icon on the site. The lefties were much worse attacking everyone against it or even neutral with a barrage of "for us or against us" posts and personal attacks from bots and extremists, but some on the conservative side were putting way too much anger and stock into it. 100% agree that there is no excuse from the excessive flaunting and gross behavior in front of children, but the other side wants to see the anger and push back so that it can help them play the victim card. The best way to get under the skin of narcissistic and histrionic people is to ignore them and act as if they do not exist. For those who like it, celebrate it with their friends in a non disruptive way. I personally choose to ignore it and react as little as possible either way.

Same week that two Israel embassy members were gunned down by someone saying Free Palestine. Does anyone still think that the Palestine protestors have peaceful intentions? There are some things that I like about Trump and others that I don't care for, but I will be glad to have a president who will crack down on them instead of pretending that it didn't happen or minimizing it.

I blame the media for this more than the police. I wouldn't care so much about police doing their due diligence first, if it wasn't for that fact that the suspect's face would already be all over CNN with a definitive statement if it was a white male for a conservative cause. Too many people posted what the suspect was shouting on social media already for them to sweep it under the rug this time though.

Looks like another pro Palestine terrorist attack so far, although the police haven't made it official yet. Assuming that this is another pro Palestine act of terror, I am curious to see how some of our TBD TDS squad try to spin, justify or deflect this.

For those that don't celebrate it, respect those who do. For those who do celebrate it, respect those who don't.

So, sticking with the original tariffs is deliberately running the economy into the ground and renegotiating to one that works for both sides is chickening out? Got it. I get not liking the tariffs, but creating a scenario where you are impossible to please regardless of any result just makes a person a troll.

If you compare a politician to Hitler for going after criminals who bypassed the legal immigration process to get in the country, but think that campus wide calls for intifada are free speech and that a murder of two Israeli members from someone shouting "Free Palestine!" is just an unfortunate coincidence, you might be a Progressive.

Fair enough, I agree on that part.

Yawn, exaggerated rhetoric. I am not saying to bypass the justice process like others wanted with the 01/06 suspects, just that justice be served. What I want is the media to acknowledge the persecution of Jewish people in the same way that they would if an LGBTQ or minority group was being treated this way. When you M-U-R-D-E-R two Israeli embassy members while shouting "FREE PALESTINE." What else do you think that it could be? Be honest on that? Why else do you think that he might have shot them and do you think that it is acceptable?

Yesterday, CNN was Interviewing a Jewish campus assault survivor about the anti-Semitic murders in DC, he points out that he is not surprised because of the people loudly calling for intifada in the university for 18 months and the hag interviewing is dismissing the protests and minimizing them the entire time. Its going to take people in interviews like this directly calling them out live on national TV and saying something like . "Stop minimizing this. You lied about Biden's health, the economy and the concerns about the mRNA vaccines why should anyone trust you about this topic?"

I was not anti-vax during COVID. I chose the J&J in 2021 and then Novavax after it came out. I just did not trust the mRNA ones and it is starting to look like my intuition was valid. If COVID turns about to be connected to triggering autoimmune diseases as some scientist are currently researching, then we just gave millions of people a lifetime of sickness. When they made a clause waiving liability on Pfizer and Moderna for ten years right as they were released, that was a huge red flag for me.

Sounds like the gap has definitely closed since then. After further research, I was thinking of the IFAF world championship that happens every four years. It started in 1999 and the US first played in 2007. The championship game was actually closer than I remembered, but before that, it was blowouts.

Agreed. I remember about 20 or so years ago when a few countries from Asia and Europe did an American football tournament. The US was only allowed to participate if they limited their talent, and fielded a team of Division 2 and 3 players. They still blew everyone out. The gap has closed a little since then, but I still think that only Canada and Maybe American Samoa could field a team that would have even a remote chance against NFL caliber US players.
