I can see why you didn't quote the headline "Poll: 1 in 3 Germans say Israel treating Palestinians like Nazis did Jews" And there's this: Study: One in four Germans harbor anti-Semitic thoughts Rebecca Staudenmaier 10/24/2019 October 24, 2019 Out of the 1,300 Germans who took part in the representative survey, 27% agreed with a range of anti-Semitic statements and stereotypes about Jewish people. Some 41% said they agreed with the statement that "Jews talk about the Holocaust too much." The same portion said they believed "Jews are more loyal to Israel than to Germany." Over 20% of respondents said they agreed that Jewish people have "too much power" over the economy, international financial markets and the media. Another 22% agreed that "people hate Jews due to the way they behave." https://www.dw.com/en/one-in-four-germans-hold-anti-semitic-beliefs-study-finds/a-50958589 Hardly an unprejudiced source.

Why even invoke Nazism, when Fascism is bad enough?

And right wingers on on thin and sordid ground in even making an issue out of this.

Now, you're being evasive and using deflection. Citing Ehud Barak's claim that Israel is heading towards fascism was a valid point. Claiming that Israel is on the road to Nazism not so much.

Again you're mitigating. There are all kinds of mistakes. Some are innocent. What she did was blatantly lie.

When someone makes a claim like this: "Nobody stoops lower than Biden and his lies." it's an open invitation to introduce contrary evidence. So you think that a statement like "Nobody stoops lower than Biden and his lies." is entitled to pass unchallenged? But thanks for reflexively sharing with us that cliche. Proof that Pavlov's insight is pulling your strings.

Mitigating much? "Screwed up"? That could mean she just made an error. Pretty hard to make a case that she engaged in anything but a bald-faced lie. And then you broach a claim that maybe she wasn't like this until she came to Washington Assigning some of that blame elsewhere? For someone so eager to vociferously condemn the behavior of those whose politics you disagree with, you seem remarkably subdued in your evaluation of Boebert's conduct.

I think your points about Israel trending towards fascism are on point. And requests that you offer your own opinion as opposed to those who are highly qualified Israelis clearly not motivated by antisemitism are clearly evasive. Obviously, their opinions are more valuable than yours. On the other hand, to suggest that Israel is heading towards Nazism is not legitimate. Unless you have some kind of evidence to offer that Israel is going to be engaged in mass extermination of Palestinians.

You don't seem to understand that there are 2 kinds of opinions: Informed opinions backed by verifiable evidence. Or the kind you mostly engage in.

2 problems: it's Mark Levin making the claim. And the video takes over 16 minutes. A transcript could eastly be provided by Fox. But that would invite the kind of close scrutiny that Levin's allegations might not withstand. Get back to us when you can offer something in writing. You know, something that's easily fact-checked.

More than 8,000 years ago, as the planet thawed following the end of the last ice age, Northern Europe abruptly cooled. New research reveals that Arctic ice melt weakened a critical ocean current, leaving Europe in the cold, a finding with important implications for future climate change. For a roughly 200-year stretch, scientists believe, temperatures in Europe and the North Atlantic fell by as much as 9 degrees F (5 degrees C), spurring more rainfall in Europe and drought in parts of Africa. https://e360.yale.edu/digest/ice-age-europe-cooling-ice-melt-atlantic-current-climate-change

More likely that Trump is fantasizing about a future threesome.

Why would anyone ever hate the kind of person who calls critics who happen to be fellow Republicans "human scum"? You're being so unfair.

Really? A fight about impeachment isn't about either of them? Against whom is the current impeachment investigation proceeding?

Once again you blame the Biden administration for the current rise in prices. Your argument makes no sense. Petroleum sources aren't developed overnight. But somehow you believe that current curtailments of future sources affect present prices. In addition, you don't acknowledge that switching from petrol/gasoline powered vehicles to electric vehicles is ultimately going to have a strong effect on demand. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/does-ev-revolution-pose-serious-143302670.html Also, you fail to note that there isn't a free market in oil. OPEC+ anyone? Finally, investors in oil companies have imposed sharp discipline on oil companies spending extravagantly on exploration and development on costly sources of petroleium. Big Oil Is Not Dancing To Government Tunes. Period. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Big-Oil-Is-Not-Dancing-To-Government-Tunes-Period.html

Really, because Black Americans don't tend to vote Democratic? You really want to go with that? Do you understand that the laws in the South that were legislated after the Civil War outlawed felons from ever being able to vote again were directed at Black citizens? https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/racism-felony-disenfranchisement-intertwined-history

And China's neighbors have been brainwashed, too?

Nice try. You criticized Mitt Romney's comments on the grounds that he was unpopular. Not on the validity of what he said.

Still, deflecting, aren't you? Once again, you challenge Joe Biden's morality on the basis of Hunter Biden's conduct. You claimed that "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree". Yet even now you failed to note that Joe Biden has three other children. Not only that, you also cited the conduct of Joe Biden's brother and even his niece as some sort of evidence about his character. I look forward to watching your comments sink even lower.

Do you seriously believe that unpopularity = corruption? Or are you just throwing this in as a deflection?

This: Racial Disparity In Marijuana Arrests "African Americans are arrested for violating marijuana possession laws at nearly four times the rates of whites, yet both ethnicities consume marijuana at roughly the same rates. A 2022 Washington Post analysis determined, “While marijuana arrests overall dropped in the year since Virginia became the first state in the South to legalize, Black adults accounted for nearly 60 percent of marijuana-related cases before the state’s general district and circuit courts, an analysis of marijuana-related code citations in the state’s court system concluded, despite Black people accounting for about 20 percent of the state population.” Washington Post, After Virginia legalized pot, majority of defendants are still Black A 2022 analysis of marijuana possession arrests in Texas for the years 2017 to 2019 reported that African Americans comprised 30.2 percent of all possession arrests, yet Black people comprised only 12.9 percent of the state’s population. A 2021 analysis from the Milwaukee County, Wisconsin District Attorney’s Office reported that Black Wisconsinites were 4.3 times more likely than their white counterparts to be convicted for having marijuana. The worst disparities in Wisconsin are in Ozaukee County, where Black people are 34.9 times more likely to be arrested and Manitowoc County, where Black people are 29.9 times more likely to be arrested.” https://norml.org/marijuana/fact-sheets/racial-disparity-in-marijuana-arrests/

Another deflection. You've got no defense for singling out Hunter Biden as the proof of some moral flaw in Joe Biden. He has 3 other children, 2 of them still living. And you sunk even lower when you invoked Biden's brother and niece as some kind of evidence of moral turpitude on Joe Biden's part. Bottom feeding much?

What skipalongcassidy clearly doesn't know is that banks and other sources of finance have been casting a dubious eye on the oil companies past overinvestment in searching for new sources of oil no matter what the cost. Financial discipline has been imposed. So oil companies are much more cautious now. Despite which, production is growing. And this in the face of the fact that much of the rest of the world economy is not doing so well. When Trump was President, the world economy was in much better shape. Until the advent of the Covid pandemic.

But lies like this while self glorifying are basically harmless. But lies about elections, about health care, lies that slander others, lies to criminal investigators, are far more serious offenses.

Even if your assertion wasn't simplistic and simple-minded, how would that account for his son Beau and his 2 daughters? And, as you clearly don't recall, you also tarred Biden with the behavior of his brother and his niece.
