    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    "Valid reasons" are pretty subjective though. What appears to be valid for some don't appear to be valid for others. Ultimately, people vote for their political party team who loves to use taxes for the people that fund their campaigns. The US has this Savior complex where we like to pretend we...

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    Gotcha. You clearly understand. It is a rather difficult task to explain this to some people though. :oops:

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    When the gap between the middle class and the highest earning class keeps growing, more people will be dependent on social institutions to keep up with the status quo. With more dependency comes more sheep begging Uncle Sam for handouts. Eradicating corporate welfare would be a good thing if...

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    I'm not sure if you were being facetious or you genuinely desire this. So you would go one step further than "defund the police" but would advocate the abolition of the police along with the military as they are social institutions too? Don't get me wrong, a lot of those programs should end...

    Israel Declares War

    19. GENOCIDE (18 U.S.C. 1091) "Section 1091 of Title 18, United States Code, prohibits genocide whether committed in time of peace or time of war. Genocide is defined in § 1091 and includes violent attacks with the specific intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or...

    Israel Declares War

    I couldn't find Brother Posthuman's quote of him saying that, but perhaps he has since edited his post. If someone described Israel's "self defense" as unrestrained, I don't think it would be dishonest though. It would just be their opinion. I think Israel has the ability to kill all 2.2...

    Israel Declares War

    This picture doesn't really "discuss" ethnic cleansing though. I'm not saying there has or hasn't been, it's just silly that it has a caption saying "lets discuss" yet doesn't discuss. Instead, it shows the Jewish population in Arab nations. There aren't any Jews on the moon that I'm aware of...

    Israel Declares War

    Some people can only empathize with other groups of people that they can relate to (physically, culturally, etc..). I am reminded of news reporters saying some wild things like, “It’s really emotional for me because I see European people with blue eyes and blond hair being killed" in regard to...

    Israel Declares War

    Supporting food stamps for your own citizens is a bit different than supporting the world's wars, no? Either way, I don't believe in corporate welfare which is a big reason why I don't claim to be a part of the RNC. :unsure: I guess it's a matter of perspective really. The left says because I...

    Israel Declares War

    I can't fully deny being cynical when it comes to governments and war. I've shamefully admitted to voting for George Bush in 2004. I thought he was a man of God and wanted to fight terrorists. I believed everything his administration said about 9/11, the weapons of mass destruction, the war in...

    Israel Declares War

    They are certainly doing that. Degrade (blow up) thousands of children while "targeting" Hamas is two birds with one stone: First Bird: Kill a few Hamas terrorists and artillery if successful. Second Bird: Degrade (blow up) children to either kill them or injure them so they are incapable of...

    Israel Declares War

    So I've heard, yet it took 7 hours to respond to Hamas breaching the borders and paratroopers massacring 1200 Israelis on Oct 7th while allegedly being informed of the attack in advance. CC's new favorite news source, CNN, allegedly was there ready and waiting for it to happen so they could...

    Israel Declares War

    Putting in qualifiers and then saying "it's always more moral.." means it's true even if there aren't qualifiers. In any event, it's clear who is projecting about emotionalism by the personal responses. I didn't mean to trigger you as I was simply just disagreeing with using numbers to make a...

    Israel Declares War

    So major "news" agencies (including CC's new favorite CNN) are suspected of knowing of the attack prior to Oct 7th and they were all hanging out waiting for carnage to unfold. The IDF and security teams somehow missed the breach at the fence and the parasailers. Then Israel also allows CNN...

    Israel Declares War

    That was the long version to say "Nevermind, it's not 'always more moral to preserve more, not less life.'" So in essence, it's a silly question to ask which is more moral saving 10,000 lives or 100,000. Got it. As much as we like things to be put in a dichotomy, we can agree it's not always...

    Israel Declares War

    Some people deny or are unaware of what happened in 1948. The crazy thing is that there are people (Jewish and Palestinian) alive today that will tell you this happened... Unfortunately, even my home boy Ben Shapiro refuses to believe it. I sort of get why he would want to deny/refuse to believe...
