@JoshEakle HISTORICAL FACT: More than 30 Million people died in the "Great Chinese Famine" (1958-1962), during the so-called "Great Leap Forward". Most importantly, this was Mao's Deliberate Policy. It's a disgrace that this Supreme Atrocity isn't better known. Racism is partially to blame.

@Number10cat Excellent observation. There is also a precedent: The Venn diagram of people who believe the 2nd amendment is sacred (for White people), while the voting rights of Black people should be cancelled, is also a circle.

@rshereme "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful." - Seneca, The Roman Stoic Philosopher, 2,000 years ago.

@TheSkepticWiz Religion ("God") and the "Mafia" ("Godfather") are both in the same "protection" racket. For religions, it's imaginary "demons" who will supposedly carry out the (imaginary) threats after death. For the Mafia, it's the "soldiers" who will actually carry out the real-life threats.

@RadioFreeTom @RichardHaass Hitler was also certain that the USSR would collapse "like a deck of cards" if they were invaded by his armies (using the German's, at the time, undefeated Blitzkrieg tactics). The USSR's recent, and highly disastrous, invasion of Finland was the main reason for Hitler's hubris.

@Reuters NRA's Fundamental Philosophy - ALL people have a constitutional right to possess the means (arms) to commit a MASSACRE. (This includes psychotics, terrorists and criminals.) From their perspective, another massacre, no matter how many deaths, is irrelevant.

@FrancosGhost Projection! You, and most people, are TERRIFIED of the chaos & indifference of the Universe (reality). Eternal annihilation is the Fate of ALL life on Earth. You have desperately searched for a religious "Reprieve" and must now believe & defend all of their Absurd "God" dogmas.

@TheSkepticWiz @Real_Presence_ The biblical God character (along with his alleged "son") also created "Hell" and all of the various "demons" that supposedly maintain its continuing "operations". This means that "God" is ultimately responsible for ALL of the enormous suffering caused by the "Hell" he designed.

@chadnagleesq @geraldposner Nonsense!: The key to the so-called "magic bullet" is Connolly's ragged entrance wound in his back. Ergo: The bullet HAD to be tumbling when it struck him. Thus the bullet HAD to have struck a prior object, which ONLY could have been JFK.

@JonBowzerBauman @covie_93 @LqLana 100%! However, there is also a serious racial element to their support, though it is admittedly secondary to the fundamentalist sexist foundation.

@AdamKinzinger @AmbJohnBolton One strategy to win this war is to TOTALLY EMBARGO Iran: NOTHING comes IN & NOTHING comes OUT. This means NO revenues & NO replenishment of Iran's weapons or anything else they require to function. Trump, & his clownish thugs, are too ignorant & incompetent to even consider this.

[Arthur J Salvatore @arthur4319]

@citrinowicz Trump was too Ignorant and Stupid to recognize the two truths about 2026 Iran: 1. If Iran is still “Islamic”, in any form, when the war is over, the “Issues” will inevitably return. 2. The "Holy Mullahs" will Murder literally Millions of Iranians, let alone others, to survive.

[Arthur J Salvatore @arthur4319]

@JohnDoe75692933 @ChrisO_wiki NO! Of course not. It's only a relative observation.

[Arthur J Salvatore @arthur4319]

@jurgen_nauditt If true, it ultimately means that the Iranian Mullahs had much more guts ("real balls" - "The Godfather") than Trump. They are willing to risk almost everything to win this war, which is relatively easy for them, since they don't give a shit about their citizens (serfs or less).

[Arthur J Salvatore @arthur4319]

@daudeosman @ChrisCuomo COMPLETELY WRONG!: "Islam" had NOTHING to do with the intellectual achievements of those ancient scholars, or they would have continued until today. In fact, they ended, even before the Renaissance, due to pressure from ISLAMIC Fundamentalists: See Abu Hamid al-Ghazali 1058–1111

@McFaul Trump is too Ignorant and Stupid to recognize two truths about Iran: 1. If they are still “Islamic” in any form, when the war is over, the “Issues” will inevitably return. 2. The "Holy" Mullahs will kill literally Millions of Iranians to survive.

@TimothyDSnyder Trump is too Ignorant and Stupid to recognize two truths about Iran: 1. If they are still “Islamic”, in any form, when the war is over, the “Problems” will inevitably return. 2. The Mullahs will kill literally Millions of Iranians to survive.
