@BeingJWood The proposed bill did very little for border security. It primarily "fixed" the border by making the current crisis the new normal. E.g., let us look at one claim, as the devil is the details. Mandatory border closure at 5K/day illegal alien encounters.
@dryadarbour@wil_da_beast630 If the Western European nations had to maintain militaries that were actually large enough to be able to provide for their self defense, that pie would necessarily have to grow at the expense of other slices in the pie.
@dryadarbour@wil_da_beast630 Imagine gov't spending as a pie. If you increase the size of one slice, that increase is taken from other slices. The argument is that the slice that is defense spending for Western European nations is tiny because they have essentially outsourced their defense to the US...
@Ayebradda@_Matthew1017@TheLaurenChen Look at the middle paragraph of what you posted. "The jury deliberated for eight hours...accepting sufficient evidence of a perceived threat..." I.e., self defense. You'll notice I am not responding to the retard insult, because I'm an adult.
@_Matthew1017@TheLaurenChen But you are willing to ignore the evidence that the jury found sufficiency to exonerate Chow. This included evidence proving that the decedent pointed his gun at Chow's son, justifying the lawful use of lethal force.
@SamStoneHere@misfitpatriot_ This strawman is so very nice that you should put it on your porch as part of your fall decor. No one is defending the attack on the Liberty. People are insisting on accuracy in what it was--a friendly fire accident the Israelis took responsibility for and paid restitution.
@ElegabalusGroyp@zaelefty Your self is mentally ill. Tx 101 for literally every other mental illness is NOT to reinforce it. We don't lop healthy limbs off body integrity disorders sufferers, give anorexics bariatric surgery, or agree with schizophrenics that the dog is plotting world domination.
@Shagarchist@justistruth Right, right. 10 US investigations have all concluded it was a friendly fire accident, but I'm the one engaging in revisionism.
@Shagarchist@justistruth and irrelevant. However, the US' reaction to the event entirely depends on the fact that the event occurred because of a tragic mistake.
@Shagarchist@justistruth You illustrate why eye witness accounts are flawed. To someone on the ground, what they know is that they're getting attacked. Understandably, that's the only thing that matters to them. The fact that the entire engagement stemmed from a misidentification is unknown...
