@ElissaSlotkin You and 5 other Democrats were investigated for encouraging military personnel to disobey orders, implying that extraditing Maduro and other actions were illegal. Your histrionics may have resulted in the murders of two National Guard troops. Spare us your sanctimony.
@BarackObama So the fact that a judge saw the evidence and signed a search warrant based on probable cause of a crime is outweighed by your story about Omar? I thought no one is above the law. Or do you only mean it when Republicans commit crimes?
@notistotny@Warbreaker_VZ@TippingOddsLV@IonaItalia Arabs in Judea and Samaria rule themselves completely in many places even though they lost their territory in wars of aggression against Israel. In others, like Jewish "settlements" (living peacefully in their own land), the military protects Jews from violence.
@SenAdamSchiff "the GOP majority will again resist all meaningLESS efforts to stop the next school shooting."
Fixed it. Democrats use these tragedies to curtail constitutionally-protected rights to self-defense, which INCREASES the risk of shootings. An armed dad saved lives at the school.
@POOLNEWS_ Get the cops badge numbers. Sue them for not doing their job to arrest people illegally blocking the road. Have them fired and replaced with real officers who know how to do the job.
@VividProwess The most dysfunctional culture on the planet. You would think Afghanistan because of the medieval Taliban, but before them, and after the U.S. invaded, women went to school and didn't raise suicide bombers.
@IonaItalia More accurately, Arab citizens of Israel have the same protected civil rights as everyone else. Arabs oppressed by, er..., "governed" by Fatah and Hamas in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza don't. They can technically "vote" but Fatah and Hamas always "win."
@Warbreaker_VZ@TippingOddsLV@IonaItalia West Bank Arabs have ruled themselves since the 1990's. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. Gazans elected the terrorist Hamas to govern in 2006. And that's why Israel had to send in the IDF in 2023. Tip: don't elect terrorists to govern.
@NowPammsy Partially right. Columbus wanted to fund a crusade to restore Jerusalem to Christian control to usher in messianic return of Jesus. He wanted the Grand Khan (China) who he thought was partial to Christianity to help. Muslims controlled land trade routes. He needed a new one.
@realBrandonGill The real story is even better. He was trying to fund a crusade to recapture Jerusalem from the Muslims. Thus the quest for China after the fall of Constantinople. He was deeply religious and respectful of the natives he befriended. See "Columbus and the Quest for Jerusalem."
@chiefpopeye1979@Mamabenergy2@realBrandonGill No, actually. Columbus never committed the atrocities ascribed to him by leftist activists rewriting history. He had great respect for the natives except for the Caribes who murdered his indigenous friends. He had no problem enslaving enemies, a common practice then.
@thejimechols@Mamabenergy2@realBrandonGill Interesting attempt to rationalize atrocities but in fact Columbus did none of the things Mamabenergy2 claimed. But some of the men appointed to run things did. So did many of the Spanish colonizers after Columbus. But not Columbus himself, nor did he approve.
@AreMaine@Rainmaker1973 Gosh, how did all those trees that got harvested in the Amazon grow in thin soil? Did the soil vanish since they were harvested? Try a little logic. You absolutely can replant trees in the Amazon.
@Kylassd@Rainmaker1973 Nope. The poor people destroy their own forests. There are no "colonists" anymore in the Amazon in case you're not up on current events. Forests can be replanted. Logging companies in the US and Canada harvest more now than a century ago while forest cover has increased.
@Blockbane405@Rainmaker1973 Trees grow like weeds in the Amazon jungle. South American countries just need better forestry management. Not easy to do in impoverished subsistence-level cultures. Wealthy economies tend to nurture their resources much better.
@Joegigets@Rainmaker1973 You don't seem to know much about forest management or forestry. The U.S. and Canada harvested more timber in the last 20 years than a hundred years ago, while forest cover has increased dramatically since then.
@Mamabenergy2@realBrandonGill Um, no!
Everything you posted about Columbus is wrong. Try learning history from somewhere other than your leftist social media echo chamber. I recommend "Columbus and the Quest for Jerusalem" by Carol Delaney. Deeply researched from historical records and his own diary.
@mb_ghalibaf Those ancient civilizations were Persian. You're not. They ruled a vast, diverse, progressive empire. You do not. They tolerated many religions. You don't. They made lasting contributions to civilization. You destroy, oppress, and stifle civilization.
@RabbiPoupko The parasitic mindworm that spawns this sociopathic ideology has been spreading in the Middle East since the 1920s. It leaped to Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Seemingly eradicated there but is now infecting the weak-minded in the West.
