Re: No, it is not at all clear that terrorists when caught deserve a fair trial.
Faith could you please actually research subjects before you spout off about them. You realize you look like a buffoon when you spout off about something you know absolutely nothing about.

I generally avoid Snopes because I know it has a liberal slant.
Snopes has a liberal slant only in the sense that facts have a liberal slant. Please show examples of this supposed liberal slant. If you can not, then please admit you are wrong and retract.
What it succeeds in proving at least is that the pigs blood story Trump told has a lot of history behind it and was not made up by Trump or made up recently at all, even if they were unable to track down reports of an incident sufficiently like the one Trump reported to support his claim.
No one has ever claimed Trump made it up. It is still false. No matter how many times you repeat a lie it is still a lie. The inability to check something out before you repeat it is a not a good characteristic for a man running for President. I know you live your life that way, but you wouldn't get my vote either. Spouting shit just because you like how it sounds is not a good idea for anyone nonetheless a presidential candidate.
But what is reported nevertheless gives quite a bit of support to what he said
Can you read English? It gives no support to what he said. It clearly states the story is UNTRUE.
It also does suggest that it is or was not unheard of for hostile entities to be executed without trial, and apparently legally. The different situations mentioned include one of Muslims / Moros being executed without trial, though Pershing regretted it -- not on legal grounds apparently but just because he sincerely wanted to avoid killings if possible.
Please quote your source for this utterly bizarre statement.

He admits to cheating on his wife, with other men's wifes.

If I told the real stories of my experiences with women, often seemingly very happily married and important women, this book would be a guaranteed best-seller, he wrote.
It is entirely acceptable to bring up Hitler and Nazi's if there is a valid reason to. Your comparison seems to be entirely valid. The problem is when the subject is brought up in inappropriate, inordinate, or hyperbolic manner.

If you include retirees, stay at home parents and students it is even higher.
I think you and he are confusing unemployment with labor force particpation rate.
quote:The cumulative effect of all these people aging out of the work force is to lower the participation rate. The CBO says that roughly half of the three-percentage-point decline in labor-force participation since the end of 2007 is due to the aging of the workforce.
quote:So if half the fall in labor-force participation since the recession is demographic, what about the other half? Well, one percentage point of the decline is related to temporary factors related to the business cycle, the CBO says. That leaves half a percentage point to account for.
quote:Now, even if the US economy continues improvingas most expectit doesn’t mean that labor-force participation will rebound. Rather, it’s likely to keep declining for at least the next 10 years, as the baby-boomers continue to age out of the workforce. (CBO estimates that labor force participation will be at 60.8% in 2024.)
The article is over a year old, but it is a good overview of the issue. Also, it does refer to original source material that is backed up with hard data.
