President Trump: Making America Great Again...

[tooblue]

How messed up is that people don't even know who they are dealing with. What is to stop criminals and kidnappers from dressing in commando gear and throwing people into cars and driving away?

The fact that there are some people who do not find this abhorrent or disgusting is maddening.

Isn’t Venezuela considered a terrorist state and drug cartels as well. Does this not place the same congressional authority to do drone strikes? Trying to see the difference and consistency in your opinion which you do. Thank you for answering my question. Neither Obama or Trump had congressional authority except the use of previous AUMF dated as far back as 2001 and 2002.

Although I am still of the opinion he should not get it. While peace in the ME is significant, his desire to be awarded seems to go completely contrary to the purpose of the award. And other actions should be taken into consideration.



Frank: Stop trying to engage me. We will never see equal on any political point. I prefer you and I not communicate at all. You are without any unbiased opinion and fall so far to one side that I see no need to even have a conversation politically. This is my line in the sand because overall I think you and I see eye-to-eye in other things but your constant blowing of the horn of Trump is evil is equivalent to the preachers I see on the corner of the state capital. They may have some good points but they are not rational enough to engage. So, please, stop.

Brock, I expect no reply. I don't need to be scolded. I do think Trump is an awful person and have rationale for that position. I do my best to express why I feel that way. In fact, I think that is one of the only things that makes sense when you look at his actions. He is also wildly dishonest and incompetent.

I don't think I'm the extremist you are painting me out to be and comparing to a panic street preacher is insulting. I'd say your level of bias isn't better than mine

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

This is an interview with a former ICE director. He does a good job explaining context around what we are seeing with ICE.

Sometimes when I view video clips of ICE with supposed excessive force I think to myself, I can think of reasons why the agent would have done that. Sometimes I think that agent needs more training or lacks experience. But you just don't know for sure until you know all the details and context. That's why things have to be investigated.

You cannot help yourself. You have no humility or ability to self reflect at all. You are so dug-in to your view. Any slight or statement that you find offensive or insulting (No matter the truth in it). That is your problem. Hell, you are so dug-in you cannot even look at a fucking poster and see the issue but instead look for a way to defend no matter how minuscule it is. You would rather find a way to defend than actually agree and then provide a counter argument.

You are so delusional that you actually think I am more biased. Look the fuck around. You are the most dominate poster in most of these threads and any possible counter you go batshit crazy. The minimal amount I post, I can engage and find some common ground or agreement and be swayed. Can you even take a step back and see through your own posts and show an ounce of humility to see why a person would respond to you in such a way? Or would rather not speak to you at all? Why would a person do that? But go ahead. Feel pride in knowing another person has avoided you and ignore you but you just keep pushing. Some rather narcissistic attributes there buddy. I hope it makes you feel happy.

What a depressing interview. All those bad consequences stemming from Trump's directive and focus. And now with funding to increase ICE agents it's only going to get worse.

You can drop the personal attacks.

Dude, you should step back. You come across as a bit crazed and obsessed here. When you attack the person instead of the idea, you’ve lost the argument. Instead of telling Frank to ignore you, I think you need to learn to ignore Frank.

The Hillbilly "what abouting" the Young Republican Nazi Telegram chat group.

It's not good, but no, it's not worse than that chat group.

Hey Brock, I always value your unique opinion and experiences and I'm glad you share them with us. It is plain to see that you have an issue with frank and seem to think he has some personal animus towards you. I think most of us here would struggle to read the situation the same way as you do. I hope maybe you can reconsider this escalating feud with frank continue discussing these important issues with all of us.

I know that you have asked frank not to engage you, and there is certainly some respect due on that point. However, it also seems a bit unrealistic to think that you can post in a public discussion forum and and expect to restrict who can respond to your positions.

Exactly. I guess condemning another repub will bring the Rino label?

[LVAllen]

Can we call 'em Nazis if they display a US flag modified to show a swastika in their personal office space right next to the Constitution? Is that allowed, or is that just too hyperbolic (person involved, staff member in the office of Rep. Dave Taylor (R-Ohio)). Flag noticed during a zoom call, Capitol Police and Rep Taylor both confirm its existence.
