  1. The world is currently flush with war criminals and lacking in courts to prosecute them. 😞
  2. I think you meant to respond to EastBayRay. I'm in agreement with what you're saying. And yes, both parties are responsible for the unreasonable support of Israel... no matter how barbaric
  3. This comment is absurdly short-sighted because it ignores the fundamental nature of the conflict, ensuring endless, taxpayer-funded war. Yes, Hamas is a militant group, but it's also an idea that thrives on the very despair, destruction, and resentment caused by large-scale military actions of which the US, in my opinion, has no reason to be in. Did you happen to notice means of transportation for Hamas during the Oct 7th attack? It was hang gliders and pickup trucks... the retaliation was high-end jet fighters. How do you think the Muslim world viewed this? Basically, the 'kill 'em all and let gawd sort 'em out' myopic approach alienates key regional allies, guarantees global condemnation, and provides propaganda victories for extremists, guaranteeing a permanent, expensive military quagmire rather than a path to security. However, there is no real reason to think that the US is going to ever try anything other than bullying, of course. This is also why we can't have nice things like affordable healthcare... gotta feed the military beast, right? 🤦
  4. Oh my, someone else is looking for a Nobel Peace Prize. 🤦🤦
  5. The war of 1948 was a very simple affair, actually. The problems kicked off when the United Nations generously offered to partition Palestine in 1947, giving the Jewish minority a disproportionately large share of the land. Then, when the British Mandate ended in May 1948 and the State of Israel was declared, the surrounding Arab nations, apparently ungrateful for this grand humanitarian gesture, decided to attack. Remember that part?? The result? Israel won, of course, and to keep the territory tidy, they ended up controlling even more land than the UN originally suggested... surprise. As an additional bonus, roughly 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled, leaving the vast majority of Palestine taken away and partitioned into Israel, the Jordanian-controlled West Bank, and the Egyptian-controlled Gaza Strip. So, yes, the Arabs started the war... after the land had already been divided against their will. Problem solved! Do facts = hatred?
  6. He should go after the Sackler family. They created and profited from the opioid crisis. Of course, they could just buy some Frump Coin and clear up the issue under the table.
  7. FACT: The Democrats’ ‘blackmail scam’ you’re whining about is them pushing for more healthcare provisions in the budget. That’s what might cause a shutdown. But hey, why deal with reality when you can just invent fairy tales about billions for ‘illegals’ and ‘stupid programs’ instead? 🤦 Ease up on the Tylenol, mate.
  8. So the brilliant idea is: no birthright citizenship, you gotta earn your rights by scrubbing toilets for Uncle Sam or dodging bullets in wars we haven’t needed since Pearl Harbor. Remember the US hasn't been attacked by another country since Dec 7th, 1941. Everything since then has been offense, not defense. And therefore, nothing says “land of the free” like risking your life for oil, ideology, and Raytheon’s quarterly earnings just to be allowed to exist on U.S. soil. Also, imagine telling a newborn: “Congrats on surviving childbirth. No rights for you until you clock in a few years of unpaid labor for Uncle Sam. Otherwise, you’re just a squatter in America... get a job freeloader. Newsflash: rights aren’t coupons you redeem after basic training. They’re supposed to be inalienable. Turning citizenship into a government loyalty program isn’t patriotic, it’s Idiocracy with paperwork.
  9. Trade “realignment” has crushed plenty of U.S. farmers and small businesses, while other countries are actively seeking new partners to avoid U.S. tariffs. “Vassal nations”... seriously? This isn’t the 16th century. Many nations are diversifying away from American dependence, not bowing to it. As for Trump’s foreign policy fairy tales: the Thailand–Cambodia border clashes are still happening. Shots were fired a couple of days ago according to Thai media. DR Congo and Rwanda: still fighting Egypt and Ethiopia: no formal deal has been reach and the Ethiopian officials said trump's words inflamed tensions. And his greatest hit? Boasting that he ended a war between Cambodia and Armenia... a conflict that has literally never existed. 😂🤣 I can't remember if that was in a speech before or after he couldn't pronounce the drug he wants to ban. 🙄 'Raised America’s standing?' Oh, please. Pew polls show global trust in U.S. leadership under Trump scraping the floor with double-digit drops in allies like Canada, Sweden, and Mexico. Confidence in him abroad is so low you’d need a shovel to find it. America’s ‘standing’ hasn’t been raised; it’s been tripped, shoved, and face-planted into the mud.
  10. Yes, the record may sound repetitive, but if the voting system still functions by next November, we’ll hopefully change it. The chorus will be joined by farmers gutted by disastrous trade wars, business owners strangled by tariffs, Republicans exhausted by the ongoing circus, and many others who see the nation sliding toward decline. Perhaps not total collapse, but certainly a diminishment: our global standing has become a punchline, thanks to one man and his entourage of spineless enablers. If you’re satisfied with this, it suggests your loyalty lies more with party identity than with the country’s future.
  11. Now that there are no 'checks and balances' because a convicted felon is in control of the judicial branch, America can experience unadulterated political revenge. Evidence is no longer required.
  12. If no one is above the law, then release the unredacted Epstein files. This, the silly Tylenol charade, and His daily blatherings are all helpful in deflecting from the Epstein files. This is nothing more than a dictator-ish standard 'go after your political enemies' maneuver. Oddly though, he seems to discount the fact that Comey helped him beat Shillary with Comey's 'private email server' scheme. The Emperor doth lack steady reciprocal loyalty.
  13. Got it... because we’re supposed to believe the shooter lovingly inscribed political slogans onto their bullets like a scrapbook project. The FBI and other agencies have a long, documented history of manufacturing narratives, from COINTELPRO to modern-day entrapment schemes, so the idea that they might conveniently ‘discover’ incriminating props is hardly far-fetched. What’s become predictable is the reflexive rush to pin every act of violence on the ‘radical left’ or trot out George Soros as the shadowy puppet master. They somehow do all all of this without ever producing a shred of credible evidence. The playbook is simple: demonize the enemy as dictated by the wannabe mob boss, deflect from internal failures, and hope the public doesn’t notice the manipulation. However, history shows that trampling people’s rights and livelihoods often breeds consequences (I do not agree with gun violence as a solution). This particular act still pales in comparison to the historic breakdown of order and institutional trust we witnessed on January 6... remember what His side did? Oh wait, 'peaceful tourists'... how silly of me to forget.
  14. Imagine getting blood from someone who has Tylenol in their system! 😲😵‍💫

  16. Sorry for the late response. No passport number or ID other than my SSN.
  17. The very pleasant woman who I talked to mumbled (to herself) as she was typing in my form into her computer. It was very early on in the process of doing an online attestation, so she seemed like she was being cautious about it. Mumbling was, in my opinion, better than putting me on hold. It revealed to me that she was inputting the data.
  18. That's is all the rep asked me. I asked if I needed to do anything else or follow up. She said she was forwarding everything to the Wilkes-Barre office and that's all that needs to be done. BTW, I have yet to receive the 7162 form by mail. If I ever do receive it, I'll contact Manila to ask them if I should fill it out and send it to them. I hate assuming anything in these very trying times.
  19. Kirk's formula was simple: rage equals clicks, clicks equal cash. The algorithms aren’t measuring truth; they’re taking our outrage temperature like a fever chart for profit. The hotter we get, the fatter the margins. So he turned every campus spat, no matter how trivial, into the end times by spoon-feeding wide-eyed, undercooked students a steady diet of apocalypse. That worked well... until it didn't. Next. 🤷‍♂️
  20. I am not a leftist, Einstein, but go on assuming you know everything about someone by a few comments. That's what your side does best. I honestly can't stand either side. That's part of the reason why I live here. It's to get away from the undereducated rubes from my homeland.
  21. Yes, you appear to be correct about him not being a confirmed Groyper.
  22. I don't know how I can make my statement any clearer. I'm NOT saying he's not potentially gay. I don't have a problem with what someone else does. That doesn't affect me in the least. I'm sorry there is no time machine that helps certain folks go back to the 1950s. What I'm saying is there is no link between being gay and being a murderer. The speculation was that they two are linked.
  23. Same, now I know a bit about another hate group. Groypers seems focused on normalizing white supremacists and anti-immigrant 'patriots'. They are, of course, against homophobic/trans rights (closeted?). Their method appears to be embedding those views under the guise of “Christian conservatism” and “America First” rhetoric.
  24. 🤦 Luckily, the United States judicial system doesn't work like this. That’s not reasoning; it is dressing prejudice up as evidence. Courts don’t convict people based on costumes, stereotypes, or internet memes. That’s actually character assassination, not admissible proof. In legal terms, Nothing said in this homophobic rant comes close to establishing guilt.
  25. This proves nothing beyond the obvious homophobia. Everyone who is 'different' isn't automatically a wannabe murderer. I don't consider everyone who dressed like the J6 rioter to be potential criminals. How about some relevant facts that show actual cause and effect.
