Yes. Open anti-semitism is more offensive than a tasteless comparison to the Final Solution. As is rejoicing in the death of RGB.

Geez, if you want to talk about "betrayal" you need look no further than Hillary Clinton leaving Americans dangling in the wind in Benghazi. Get some perspective. If you're going to get weepy you should do it over American deaths.Last edited by shunyadragon; 11-24-2020, 03:54 PM.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

I saw this on twitter today and made me think of this thread...
Qualifications.PNG
On the one hand, Rubio is pretending that Biden hiring qualified people is a negative (and arguably falsely implying this is a point of difference to the Republican administrations), and on the other hand, pretty much all the people in the Trump admin also had qualifications from decent schools and we can be rightly horrified by their disastrous administration."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

The 'left' of course exists, but what are you calling the left? The Democratic Party has a wide range of political beliefs that are what some call the left. Bernie Sanders could not get elected beyond his own state,

Unbelievably false. Go back to the facts of the US troop withdrawal and the consequences. The remaining troops are there to protect the oil fields. Your foolish notion of "The US was not obligated to hold their hand for eternity." is meaningless rhetoric. It is a fact that when the USA moved out the Turks slaughtered Kurds and the Russians moved in.
According to your logic, we should never leave Afghanistan either because we have to protect them from the Taliban. Where else should the US stay forever?
