Fair enough to attack those with the Hezbollah military wing though I am unsure if booby trapped personal devices are permitted in the Rules of War. However, Hezbollah has many civilians working for them in the medical profession, charities and so on in Lebanon. It would be interesting to know how many civilians were killed or wounded.

trump also called the media "enemy of the people' when reporting factually. How about doing some fact checking before posting trump / MAGA BS.

usual pathetic response

An op out by trump. Rather than clearly stating he will accept the vote / Electoral College outcome, he says will only accept if he deems it's "fair". In other words more BS, trump will only consider the election 'fair' if he wins. Accordingly no surprise trump and his enablers are trying to undermine the vote by attempting to disenfranchise Dem voters. Plus of course his ongoing attacks on US institutions such as the judiciary. The current threat is also unique in that Trump has learned from his previous term where the choke points of American democracy lie. Unlike Adams, Johnson and Nixon, he threatens to recapture the presidency with a clear roadmap for toppling the traditional checks on the office. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jun/20/trump-threat-democracy-precedents

Splitting hairs...Anything to say concerning trump and co trying to disenfranchise Dem voters or are you going to try and deny. Former President Donald Trump refused to unconditionally accept the results of the upcoming 2024 presidential election in an interview Wednesday with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/02/politics/donald-trump-accept-2024-election-results/index.html

Trump has already stated he will not accept the results if he loses, probably will lead to civil strife. In the meantime Republicans are investing lot of effort to disenfranchise Dem voters. e.g. https://www.vox.com/scotus/367701/supreme-court-arizona-rnc-republicans-mi-familia-vota

158 dems vote against bill to deport illegals, who commit sex crimes
simple1 replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
Legislation is already in-place to deport illegals if they are convicted of a sex crime, plus their will be other crimes meeting the criteria for deportation. Obviously one hopes they serve their sentence prior to deportation.. As mentioned above it's Republicans posturing for political gain. There were a number of objections raised to the Bill; URL provides some detail. https://abcnews4.com/news/local/us-house-passes-rep-maces-bill-to-deport-undocumented-migrants-convicted-of-sex-crimes-violence-against-women-by-illegal-aliens-act-united-states-congress-wciv-abc-news-4-2024 -
Why would legal migrants (Springfield) need to eat dog /cats, are they treated so poorly they are starving? In any case Vance has admitted he was lying about this matter to gain attention - IMO an act of complete stupidity demonising people for political gain, same goes for trump - both unfit to represent the Office of President and VP of USA; perhaps Dominican Republic is suitable.

You no doubt already know, numerous sources e.g.... https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/watch/jd-vance-now-admits-to-lying-about-haitian-immigrants-eating-pets-on-purpose-219492933816 https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/watch/jd-vance-now-admits-to-lying-about-haitian-immigrants-eating-pets-on-purpose-219492933816

“How about in Springfield, Ohio, they had 32,000 – this is a little beautiful town, no crime, no problem – 32,000 illegal immigrants come into the town,” Trump said. “So they almost double their population in a period of a few weeks. Can you believe it? And you know what? They’ve got to get much tougher. I’m going to go there in the next two weeks. I’m going to Springfield.” The city of Springfield states on its website that “YES, Haitian immigrants are here legally, under the Immigration Parole Program. Once here, immigrants are then eligible to apply for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Haiti is designated by the Secretary of Homeland Security for TPS. Current TPS is granted through February 3, 2026.” NB: To gain entry via the Immigration Parole Program the applicant must be sponsored First Trump said Haitian migrants in Ohio were ‘eating the pets’. Now he says they’re ‘destroying America’ (msn.com) Program that allows 30,000 migrants from 4 countries into the US each month upheld by judge | AP News

Media reports claim the Israelis had planned to us the explosive devices if Hezbollah launched a ground attack. It is claimed Hezbollah were starting to raise suspicions so Israel triggered the devices earlier than planned. A devastating attack on morale and headcount. I assume Lebanon are very limited in their options for response to which their PM has declared a breach of sovereignty (act of war). A similar attack has taken place for those using walkie talkies., hundreds injured.

In other words no idea.. trump had four years to remove troops from Afghanistan. Yet another foreign policy failure. However, trump did unilaterally pull out of prior international agreements to the detriment of the USA for purely spiteful reasons.
-
Let's hear your interpretation; why didn't trump get US troops out of Afghanistan?
-
Not going to bother with replying to BS
-
Nonsense. Reasons are MAGA refuses to acknowledge 'truth', whataboutism, defects etc etc In other words mirrors trump.
-
How about debunking trump's lies and misinformation. As a first step why not start with the "steal", it would provide insight if you are actually willing to engage honestly.
-
Waste of time to 'debate' a MAGA believer.

<snipped for brevity> Of course you're also free to vote for whoever you wish. though IMO you will be in the minority by voting for trump, as has been the case for the last two elections by millions of votes. Maybe one day US will get rid of the Electoral College - LOL -

Cannot comprehend why people such as you keep defending trump. he has a proven record of lies / misinformation for years and close connections to some of the worst of the worst racists / white supremacists. trump is the 'swamp' not those people 'over there' he keeps deflecting about. Even dedicated Republicans now reject him, of course the corrupt Republicans stay on with him in the hope they will keep in power. IMO they all deserve to be in jail for failure to abide by their Oath of Office. -

Has trump toned down his rhetoric....No. Also don't forget he has never apologised for calling immigrants vermin who are poisoning the blood of America, media are the enemies of the people etc etc etc Long past due for trump to put up or shut up, but we know it ain't going to happen. -
