Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
Right it's abhorrent if we knock down a statue or something but OK for them to kill hundreds of Americans. That's his point.

Re: Trump Lies Again
One man's terrorist is another man's patriot...
OK, he's a terrorist to US and a terrorist to many/most of the Iranian people, and to many others in the Middle East, and a patriot to the Islamic State. So what's your point? We have to respect a patriot of the Islamic State that wants us dead, mourn his death, in fact not kill him at all? The Nazis were patriots in Germany. You get the point.
I happen to believe that there is a clear difference between good and evil that is not all that hard to figure out. We're good, all the innocent Iranians and Iraqis are good, the Islamic State is bad, Soleimani was bad. America has always operated on the ability to tell the difference, that's why we've always been a force for good in the world. Now it seems the Left is determined to blur it all to the point that there is no difference and murderers, terrorists, will be allowed to do as they please.
AbE: In fact let me add here that this attempt to criminalize and impeach Trump is a symptom of this kind of thinking. He's doing good but he's been accused of doing evil. This is already destroying the foundations of America and will bring us all crashing down very soon if the Left doesnh't come to its sense. And I'm afraid it looks like that isn't going to happen.
As scripture says, somewhere in Isaiah, woe to those who put good for evil and evil for good.l

Re: Trump Lies Again
Nothing I said implies that all circumstances are easy to figure out and America makes mistakes too, but your thinking nevertheless contributes to the blurring of good and evil.

Re: Trump Lies Yet Again
The few remaining sane people in the Senate, as in the House, are "thumbing their noses" at the egregeiously dishonest Adam Schiff and his House Manager cohorts who are bringing down the Constitution and America itself with their false claims. It's turning out that this political polarization is really about the confusion of good and evil on the Left which is what I was just discussing. Since the Left has no ability to tell the difference any more, and certainly doesn't care since power is all they want, not truth, not justice, I don't see much hope for America. That you have joined with them so aggressively is very sad.
There's no point in discussing the particulars of this outrageous travesty of an impeachment.

Re: Trump Lies Yet Again
You consistently demonstrate that you certainly do not know the difference between good and evil. No I don't think anyone WANTS to take the side of evil, they just can't tell the difference, as you can't.

Re: Trump Lies Yet Again
Sad how as usual most of what you say describes your side and not mine.
The impeachment charges are all made up crap, describing things any President rightly does, unless he's Trump, who must be made a criminal for doing such normal thinbgs.

yeah I heard a lot of what the nauseatingly underhanded dishonest Schiff said in such hifalutin sanctimonious tones. I may not have the stomach to listen to your offering. Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Re: Trump Lies Yet Again
Abuse of power? What the House is doing you mean? What the FBI did in authorizing fake FISA warrants to spy on Trump's campaign? that's the abuse of power we've been seeing for thtree years now.Trump abused nothing.
You mean "obstruction of Congress" which is a noncategory and dscribdes onbly Trump's refusal to go along with the dishonest House's abuse of power. and in fact their violation of the Separation of Powers with their usurpation, and their criminalization of powers that belong to the Executive Brancyh.

Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
You treat me as if I were the only one with my point of view, but that's only true within EvC, and even here there are a couple others who more or less share my point of view at least occasionally or on certain subjects. But I get most of my stuff from the many voices "out there" including information about the intelligence services I mentioned. These voices represent some sixty three million people who voted for Trump. I'm only alone in here. And it does get very lonely at times.

Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
Well, Kasraie has been given credence by many of my sources but I'll happily enough take credit for my trust in her if you like. She's just a very credible person.
The report of how many were stationed at our air bases was on the news reports on my favorite radio stations, and the conservative talk hosts said they were warned and took cover in tunnels, or at least that was the case on one air base. If you don't know these things it's because you listen to the wrong sources. There were thousands of them, and very few were injured so I suppose those were the few that didn't take cover for whatever reason. But I don't know, just have to guess. I do know that thousands were not hurt who could have been had they not been able to find cover.
Although some were advising Trump against the action, there had to be more advising him to do it. Perhaps fake news simply chose not to cover that way-too-positive piece of information. Only the news that disparages Trump. That's their motto.

Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
I suppose you've also missed the statistic I hear from time to time, from some pretty credible sources too I think, that the news coverage of Trump runs something like 90 or 95% negative. I guess you can say that's just because he does that many bad things, but no other President has ever had to endure such coverage, and it's odd that there are so many of us out here who consider what he's been doing to be predominantly good for the country, including those tens of thousands who continue to attent his rallies all over the country with large overflow crowds. Sorry, the media IS intentionally misrepresenting anything to do with Trump. And you really should read Mark Levinn's book "Unfreedom of the Press" and of coruse other conservative books. You are way too entrenched in Leftist fake news.

Re: Another Trump failure
Trump is in fact extremely good at negotiation and diplomacy.
Yes, third world picayune tyrants are very susceptible to flattery from an American President.
I really really really wish it was possible to split this nation geographically so I could live with the conservatives and never have to hear another insane word from the Left. I guess there's no way to bring that about unfortunately.

Re: Another Trump failure
Wouldn't it be better to drop the sanctions, rejoin the Iran nuclear accord, and build toward making Iran a constructive and non-nuclear member of the global community? -
That is extremely nave. They have absolutely no interest in doing that. The same way Palestine has absolutely no interest in being a mere other state beside Israel, slthough they will occasionally give lip service to the idea. They want Israel absolutely wiped off the map. The Islamic State of iran is never going to give up building nuclear power with which to bring in the worldwide Islamic Caliphate to which all others must submit or die.

Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
You have absolutely nbo idea what he planzs to do ever. You would never have guessed that he would do such a pinpoint operation to take out Soleimani. So you have no cause to say one word about what he would do with cujlturqal xsites or qwhy or any of that.
