@K_Chitraketh @TimOnTheTractor OK, I see your point. I would call a homeless person a victim of this society's capitalist system.

@fluxus2 Bye, bye, Nikki. You won't be able to start WWIII for at least another four years.

[Laurence E. Rhodes @LaurenceERhode1]

@ninaturner @JanusTiresias Good for Beto. Better late than never.

[Laurence E. Rhodes @LaurenceERhode1]

@RadicalJesus44 The one in the upper right.

@torstrick Don't think this situation is accidental. Why do you think the old fox picked Kamala as his VP? Insurance. Too incompetent to be pres. Can't be replaced because of gender and color.

[Laurence E. Rhodes @LaurenceERhode1]

@K_Chitraketh @TimOnTheTractor Don't get your point. How is a homeless street person part of the capitalist system?

[Laurence E. Rhodes @LaurenceERhode1]

@latstetter I don't say you are wrong, but I want to try to dialog with Jews, both here and in Israel. Mentioning the Holocaust ends all discussion. Engagement offers a chance for change.

[Laurence E. Rhodes @LaurenceERhode1]

@TimOnTheTractor Well said. I agree with every word of it, particularly the last sentence.

[Laurence E. Rhodes @LaurenceERhode1]

@PaulSorrentino3 Whether they did or not is not the point. Whatever crimes they may or may not have committed on Oct. 7 do not justify the crimes being committed since by Israel against the innocent population of Gaza.

[Laurence E. Rhodes @LaurenceERhode1]

@latstetter I think that that is a fair statement. However, there is no mechanism to enforce it, and there probably shouldn't be. So, many who support today's genocide, will be talking about human rights tomorrow.

[Laurence E. Rhodes @LaurenceERhode1]

@RadicalJesus44 Me too, though it may not seem so to those who know me. There is a saying about having and flying a Freak Flag. I am a Freak, and I do have a Freak Flag, but I don't choose to fly it to the world. I keep it in my closet.

@Dienne_7 I equally oppose the regimes of Putin and Netanyahu. I equally oppose the disastrous wars being waged by both men. I am as far as humanly possible from being a groupie of either one.

[Laurence E. Rhodes @LaurenceERhode1]

@BryceMLipscomb @RobertKennedyJr @Team_Kennedy24 I wonder when he will make his choice? I thought some kind of filing deadlines existed in Jan. or Feb. that called for him to name his VP. I guess that was wrong. I'm sure he will make a top choice. I can't wait to find out who it will be. I have no prediction.

[Laurence E. Rhodes @LaurenceERhode1]

@Dienne_7 Not willingly I wouldn't. But, in the world we live in, things change over time. Call it Squatter's Rights if you will. Israel exists. Its people are not going anywhere. Palestinians will have to accept less than half a loaf of bread. Fair? Not in a perfect world.

[Laurence E. Rhodes @LaurenceERhode1]

@ToddAppel I oppose immigration, but not out of any animosity toward the people involved. I have no problem with any language spoken by anyone. No language is "horrible". I support some positions that Trump takes, but I often condemn his words. This is one of those times.

[Laurence E. Rhodes @LaurenceERhode1]

@Hedgesgurl Gandhi and King fought them with Civil Resistance. Palestinians could have done the same against Israel.

[Laurence E. Rhodes @LaurenceERhode1]

@BryceMLipscomb @TulsiGabbard @DNC @realDonaldTrump @RobertKennedyJr Our democracy is under attack. By both political parties, and the power behind them, the 1%. Trump is the only unbought candidate running under a major party banner. And they call HIM a danger to democracy.

@TimOnTheTractor Teaching is one of the most important of all professions. It is also one of the lowest paid. This has always been so. Take a look at the classic movie, "Letter to Three Wives."(48). Listen to Kirk Douglas, playing a teacher, lament his low pay.
