Trump Harris: Who won the debate ?
The fact that animals are being eaten will have no effect on independents voting for Trump. Minor issue compared to the big picture. They have already made up their minds in favor of him -

I see English comprehension not your strong point. Where are you getting fear and scared from? Keep deflecting when you have no evidence or proof. It’s your safety valve. -

Trump Harris: Who won the debate ?
If you believe that Haitians are eating pets in Springfield, you are out of your mind. But let's forget about you for a moment. Do you think that many independent voters are going to believe Trump's story and vote for him? Or will they think he has Alzheimer's and believed a fake story? -

Reports by the regular citizens of Springfield. Not Mayors, City Councils. And your proof it’s not happening? Don’t post because CNN says so. You don’t know. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
That's a misunderstanding arising from quoting only part of what Churchill said. Below is the full quote. "Lachrymatory gas" refers to what we call "tear gas" today. In 1919, tear gas, mustard gas and deadly chlorine gas were all called "poison gas." Churchill was referring to the use of tear gas, not deadly gas. "I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes. The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum. It is not necessary to use only the most deadly gasses; gasses can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected. " (WSC, minute from the War Office, 12 May 1919, in Martin Gilbert, ed., Winston S. Churchill, Document Volume 8: War and Aftermath, December 1916-June 1919 (Hillsdale: Hillsdale College Press, 2008), p 649) Churchill went on to say at the same War Office meeting: “If it is fair war for an Afghan to shoot down a British soldier behind a rock and cut him in pieces as he lies wounded on the ground, why is it not fair for a British artilleryman to fire a shell which makes the said native sneeze? It is really too silly.” (Ibid. p 662) There's some dispute over whether the British actually used gas in Iraq. No sources made that accusation at the time; that came first in 1986. For lengthy discussions, see: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/605488 https://winstonchurchill.hillsdale.edu/churchill-and-chemical-warfare/ Churchill opposed both Hitler and Gandhi, but for very different reasons and used much different language when warning about them. He saw Gandhi as a threat to the British Empire, while he regarded Hitler as a threat to the balance of power in Europe. He viewed Hitler as a dangerous yet effective dictator and Gandhi as an unrealistic mystic without the skill, acumen or experience to lead a highly diverse country. He famously referred to Gandhi as a half-naked fakir. He was specifically concerned with Hitler's oppressive domestic policies; the rearmament of Germany and Hitler's goal of territorial expansion. Unlike most European politicians, Churchill had actually read Mein Kampf and had seen jackbooted Nazis in the streets of Germany before Hitler took power. He had a real fear of what Hitler could accomplish. His warnings went largely unheeded because appeasement was the favored policy of British governments in the 1930s. Concessions to Hitle were seen as the best way to avoid war and appeasement was favored by the public, especially the upper classes. In the 1930s, Churchill wasn't trusted by many members of the Conservative party due to his failure as First Lord of the Admiralty and his switch from the Liberal Party. -

Are you "all in" in your relationship?
You certainly pay for it in France, the national security system will pay 70% and the remaining 30% is for you to pay if you don't have additional insurance. And spend a year out of the country without paying tax and you are not covered anymore. I'm no expert regarding the UK, but I know it is less generous than France. Lots of people misunderstand the way "nanny States" work, yes they will treat you first and not let you die like in Thailand, but ultimately you are footing the bill. -

I don't know what you are on about. At what point did immigrants become scary for you? The Irish? How about the Chinese? Eastern Europeans?
