Since Hamas talking points are being circulated in our political discourse, let’s get some things straight:


- Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005.


- Hamas uses Gaza to launch rockets on Israeli civilians. 700 this weekend.


- Palestinians are held hostage by Hamas, not Israel.

View attachment 204420 Oh look, they're all smiling at laughing. It must directed at Trump.

View attachment 204421 Here's another picture from the same summit. Hmmm, what do we have here. Spouse swapping. The point is... don't be so gullible to any picture you see.

Just stop, the President responding to the reaction with is "I wasn't expecting that" so the laughter was very real. And it was a reaction to his incompetence as he had no idea about NATO, at the G7 Summit. Again saying you don't care about other countries is incredibly ignorant.

Your pic add nothing to the discussion.

like i said they had it right and the rest had it wrong

as for what i dont like about trump i have stated them numerous times

but i also know what a lazy debating point is when you result to "cults " as a talking point

thanks for proving my point

All you said about Trump was he was a dick, as if that's late breaking news. You have not been critical of him once with regard to his policies or behavior, always making excuses or blaming Fake News.

It's kind of amusing that you consider Trump a blameless victim of the MSM onslaught, as if he played no role what so ever in all of this. From the start of his campaign it was clear that he was not aware that when you throw you hat in the ring and run for President that will come with criticism. Instead of understanding this and acting like a grown up he reacting like a petulant child whenever people said mean things about him. He then launched an all out assault on the MSM, crying like a little bitch constantly and revoking press credentials. The MSM reacted as you would expect them to do, the Trump fired more shot and here we are with both sides at war.

Is the MSM unfair at times or misrepresent the facts? Yes they do and that's not right. But if you don't believe Fox does the same thing I invite you to Google the story they ran of the NFL players supposedly kneeling in protest. But to act as if President Trump did not play a role in this war with the MSM and he is an innocent victim is complete horseshit.

MSM has never been fair to him. From distorting his words with all mexicans are rapist in the beginning (lie) to all mexicans are animals (lie).. Trump did not start the war with MSM.. the fact is they have never been fair to him. Despite his personality the media owes it to the US population to state facts only when reporting the news. From that twerp over at CNN to the bitch over at MSNBC they all should be fired for misrepresentation. Please stop passing off that Trump deserves all the fake press. He deserves ... no... we deserve to hear the truth. All networks should sound identical. The truth.. its not that hard.

you are so uninformed its pathetic . he brought on the debate questions given to HRC ahead of time ? laughable

they accused him of things they KNEW werent true . he brought that on himself ? laughable

fox news corrected that incident long ago , the MSM rarely does

you want to talk about petulant children ? look in the mirror because if anyone defends the president you are in full whine mode

please dont lecture me about anything . conservative news outlets are far more reliable them the MSM as i have shown virtually daily

to this day the MSM still pushes false narratives about russian collusion and they KNOW its false

and you come at me with pictures of football players kneeling as some kind of redemption for your view

your picture of world leaders laughing at Trump is silly and the kind of MSM propaganda you swallow everyday

Not caring about foreign nations is incredibly ignorant. We rely on our allies as they rely on us, to think we can go it alone without relationships abroad is idiotic.

I think the incompetence was pretty clear in my first post. The President of the United States is laughed at visibly at the G7 Summit over his ignorance with regard to NATO. This simply can't happen and the fact that this is no big deal to you confirms your cult like mentality that he can do no wrong, even when he is wrong and laughed at by the world.

How is it ignorant? We don’t actually rely on them at all. We would like them to take some financial burden, considering we are defending them, along with our interests, but we do not rely on them. Seriously, if we didn’t have Europe for the War in Iraq, nothing would have changed. Our allies fully rely on us. If the US goes down, so does the world.

Be specific. What was he laughed at about? How was he ignorant about NATO? What did he say and what did he do?

OK ladies and gents, although it's late in the day I promised @gkekoa and @eaglesnut to post the answer to my earlier question. As a reminder here it is again.

"When it comes to healthcare insurance, what is the overwhelming reason not to create a national healthcare plan for all?"

The answer is...Freedom!

I believe that we all can agree that people can make/earn money anywhere, so staying on the job for that reason seems illogical.

Love of the job, OK, but whatever your skill is, it doesn't disappear if you decide to take on another job elsewhere, right?

So, why do people stay on the job long term? Benefits, and no benefit is more important than their access to private (job related) healthcare. It is the one benefit that consistently ranks first among all others by the employed and unemployed alike. A national healthcare plan eliminates these concerns and employers know it, it doesn't matter to them that not having to hire and use real capital to provide this benefit means more for the bottom line, a stable more reliant and anchored workforce is far more important. Sure you can argue that any of the other regular benefit are more important, but honestly, you realistically could create your own vacation time, realize increases in pay, bonuses and formulate your own retirement plan by taking the time off that you need by strategically taking it between jobs, seek more money as you move on and invest money wisely in anticipation of your retirement.

In effect, National/Universal healthcare, done right, gives you more freedom!

It's done, by eliminating any and all concerns about this major thing that currently causes you to pause, before leaving your current job! Can it be done right? Well, it turns out, that too, is up to you!

- Hamas uses Gaza to launch rockets on Israeli civilians. 700 this weekend.


- Palestinians are held hostage by Hamas, not Israel.

-Perhaps they should pull completely out of Israel and take both Hamas and the Palestinians with them. Ireference to your first line...Ehhhh...kind of, sort of, because they have returned and taken control of significant avenues there.

Israel's Gaza blockade under scrutiny after latest violence

- The article outlines why there remains the level of hostility that there is.

Anytime you are forced to pay money to the government, it is the exact opposite of freedom.

@dad and others who continue to falsely claim that the MSM has never been good towards Donald Trump. Let the Goatshit end here! (Now don't believe that he outsmarted them, when clearly it was all about the bottom line and playing a game on the masses.)

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! This ^^^^ is the best that you can do? Use a theory that once expanded would also eliminate paying monies to the same government that created and funds our military. Our primary reason why we enjoy the freedom that we have.
