The Right Side of the News

This is pure braggadocio. It's a very safe bet that Iran tries to keep secret all their state sponsored terrorism and sponsorship of terrorism by proxy states. That's why we have intelligence services, to penetrate the veil of secrecy surrounding things like terrorist activities. You Trumpists sure gotta have your bogeymen. Why don't you throw in a Hillary reference for good measure? Depends whether he's feeling cranky that day. So our intelligence services can be trusted when they tell us about Iran-sponsored terrorism, but not about Russian election interference. No one knows what Trump wants or will do, including you. He's rash and impulsive. Why are you making up this list of very specific things about Trump that you couldn't possibly know? Seriously? The main effect of Trump's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear accord is an Iraq moving closer to having the bomb. They just recently announced they're amping up their nuclear program, see The Killing of Soleimani and Iran’s Nuclear Program:

quote:

---

(BESA) In July 2019, Iran began to violate the nuclear deal in a number of ways in order to pressure the EU to neutralize the effect of the sanctions that had been imposed on it by the US. Its violations included:

​

• enriching uranium above the maximum permitted quantity of 300 kg UF6 (uranium hexa-fluoride compound) enriched at 3.67%
  ​
• raising the level of uranium enrichment to 4.5%, above the permitted rate of 3.67%
  ​
• producing and holding heavy water inventory beyond the 130 ton limit
  ​
• operating advanced centrifuges of higher enrichment capacity
  ​
• renewing, in early November 2019, uranium enrichment at the Fordow underground enrichment facility

And of course assassinating Soleimani only made things worse, see Iran nuclear deal gets another stake through the heart - CNN:

quote:

---

(CNN) The nuclear deal painstakingly negotiated by the international community with Iran has become the first victim of the crisis provoked by the killing of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad in a US drone attack.

Sure he will, dear. Just like he's reining in the Iranian nuclear effort.--Percy

Alexander Hamilton begs to disagree with you on the impeachment clause.

quote:

---

A well-constituted court for the trial of impeachments is an object not more to be desired than difficult to be obtained in a government wholly elective. The subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated POLITICAL, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself.

Clinton was charged with obstruction of justice, so there's precedent for that.There has been no denial of due process. Proven over and over again in this thread.The rest of your message is incoherent ranting with no attempt to present evidence.I note you didn't even try to defend your second and most serious accusation. Edited by Admin, : Fix quote.

Most of what you say sounds fishy. This would be the same Trumpist sites that have been lying to you all along? Would this report from Fox News saying the same thing as the Washington Post help: More US troops flown out of Iraq after Iran missile attack, officials say | Fox News I've read much the same thing. That doesn't change the fact that Trump keeps changing his story. Wrong again. Both the Washington Post (which I quoted) and Fox News say that officials declined to say how many additional men were transported to Germany for injuries received during the Iranian ballistic missile attack. In the age of Trump there's no way to know that for sure. He corrupts everyone. Have no idea what you're talking about. Stop listening to your Trumpist sites, they'll only confuse you and provide you false information. However, it is also true that millions and billions were not harmed. Funny about that. Made up. You have no inside information of what Trump would and wouldn't do. He's unpredictable, impulsive. He doesn't follow any defined policy or philosophy.--Percy

I think we've found the hater in our midst.--Percy

And the stoning commands and such are in the books of the Bible. "But," you will say, "Jesus ended all that." And analogous to Christians with the Bible, Muslims have their own way of deciding not to follow the inappropriate parts of the Quran. Close enough. Just as most Christians don't follow all the Bible, and most Jews don't follow all the OT, most Muslims don't follow all the Quran. Same for the commands in the Bible.--Percy

Yes, we know. It doesn't have anything to do with strategy or tactics or target assessment. It's just symbolism that appealed to Trump. It's the same sort of symbolism that drove Germany to demand that the French WWII surrender to Germany take place in the same railway car and at the same location as Germany's WWI surrender to France (Compigne Wagon).--Percy

Yes it's symbolism and why not? They are targets to be hit should Americans be murdered. Solid real targets. I don't see anything in it to compare with your example from Hitler. Except of course your alignment with the leftist hatred of Trump that loves to identify him with Hitler, while in reality it is the Left that is in fact doing the fascist things they are accusing him of -- though he is a solid defender of American values and institutions, Constitutional rights and freedoms the Left seems to be throwing in the trash these days.. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

No. What you are calling commands in the Bible are not commands, they are historical information.

Tell the truth and be called a "hater." But of course, standard Leftist political correctness demands it. It's one of the things that makes them clearly fascists, tyrants, out to shut people up, no regard for rights and freedoms, all they do is connive to force their ideology on the rest of us, and character assassination of this sort is one of their means: oh don't you DARE ever mention what Islam is actually all about, don't you DARE say there is no such thing as many genders, there are only two, don't you DARE refuse to justify marriage for homosexuals etc etc etc. Cuz if you do any of these things we'll ostracize you, vandalize your home and businesses, and eventually probably even imprison you for it.AbE This kind of namecalling is the true hatred, it's vicious and hurtful and intimidating.

There are thousands employed on the bases that were targeted by the Iranian missiles. They were able to take cover and were protected. Perhaps some didn't join them for some reason and were injured. No reason to assume such information is being covered up for some reason, why should there be? The main news, however, is that thousands that could have been killed were not because of advance warning.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Obstruction of justice is a real criminal charge. Obstruction of Congress is a made up nonentity.There was total denial of due process in the House. They finally offered a token right to defense after they'd already made their impeachment decision. What a farce to claim there was no denial of due process. We all know there was. Why don't you?No idea what the rest of your post is about.

How would I know? I assume there are good military or intelligence reasons for the time chosen.

Braggadocio no doubt but Trump is clearly ready and willing to apply military solutions IF NECESSARY, unlike some former appeasement minded Presidents.The idea that Trump ever acts impulsively or rashly or from crankiness is just leftist propaganda. There is no evidence of it. When I check up on how he said something that is characterized in such language I find out it's fake news, he comes across as cool as a cucumber. No matter, the media always manage to find a way to write a headline that implies some such state of mind in Trump in their neverending vendetta. Our rank-and-file intelligence servicepeople are quite reliable and trustworthy. It was the leadership that lled about Russian collusion and tried to pin on Trump what Hillary had done. There's the Hillary reference you wanted.I trust Trump to deal with the nuclear problem too, by the best means and when the timing is right.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Because I know due process was followed, and I proved it.The Sixth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America lays out when legal representation and confronting accusers is part of due process. I've posted it twice. Remember?

In all criminal prosecutions,

The proceedings in the House were an investigation, not a prosecution. Impeachment and criminal are different.Due process was followed.The offered opportunity to defend was real and was turned down.Since you're so worked up about predetermination, what have you said about the sham trial in the Senate where they swore to "do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws:" after McConnell and Graham and others had publicly annound acquttal is guaranteed and they will not do impartial justice?I know. "laws for thee but not for me". Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

They should report those reasons to Congress. They didn't make any such claims in their report. They did claim "imminent threat", which has been thoroughly debunked.It was to distract from impeachment and illegally subvert Constitutional requirements.
