There are two types of people who vote Democrat. Those that rely on handouts to live, and those that are so wealthy they can afford to "virtue signal" politically. There is only one type of person who votes Republican. They who want an unfettered chance at personal/private success without having to pay for the failings of others.
I vote Democrat and I don't fall into either of your ridiculous scenarios, genius.
oBiden rescinded all energy related Executive orders Trump put in place. Eliminating US oil production and emptying all of the US oil reserve. Oil is being purchased from other countries instead of our own. oBiden drove up the cost of oil with these tactics which caused uncontrollable inflation and continuous rate increases that only complicate the situation.
He fucked up exactly how he said he would when he was in the basement.
I see. The word "specifically" tripped you up.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
 
Thanks for the laugh.

So you are claiming out of the approximately 150 million people who voted in the last presidential election, there are only three types...unfucking believable.

I'm thinking you may want to use another word, than the one in bold. Oh and a semicolon ( ; )might be better than a period (.) as well after the word Republican,
OH shut the fuck up already! Your grammatical and spelling proficiency is worse than mine. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: 👈
 
I might have actually seen original post at Crooked Timber. It’s been widely quoted ever since. It explains so much about the modern Republican Party.
Fair enough. I appreciate the cite. I'd not heard that one before.
 
Why is Israel such a loaded subject? Good video by Steve Shrives. We should be critical of all combatants in war time. I've been less critical of Israel, I admit, because they don't use civilians as shields and have warned in advance of strikes. It's not the best and they should do more, but it's something.

 

Defense Secretary Issues Prepare-to-Deploy Orders for U.S. Troops to the Middle East​


KRISTINA WONG22 Oct 2023

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin placed additional U.S. troops on prepare-to-deploy orders to the Middle East Sunday after speaking with President Joe Biden.

“I have placed an additional number of forces on prepare to deploy orders as part of prudent contingency planning, to increase their readiness and ability to quickly respond as required,” he said in a statement.

The number of forces put on prepare-to-deploy orders was not specified, but the Pentagon has previously confirmed the number was roughly 2,000. Some troops would come from the U.S. and some from within Europe or other areas of operation.

Austin said he has also activated the deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery as well as additional Patriot battalions to locations throughout the region to increase protection for U.S. forces.

We should understand that our military is not the military we had in 1991. We are not prepared to handle a full-blown defense of Nato and a regional war in the Middle East. Israel now has more troops in the field than we have soldiers in our Army. If the region joins together against Israel those US 2000 Marines offshore and the 1000 US troops present in Syria will be a mere drop in the bucket.

Nobody is talking about the 800-lb gorilla in the room, Turkey. They are the military powerhouse in the Middle East. Turkey is not friendly with Israel and they are only a paper partner in Nato. There are massive demonstrations in Turkey to get involved against the Israelis. Turkey does have an ongoing relationship with Hamas. In addition, we see Pakistan telling Turkey that if they join the fight against Israel they will supply Turkey with nuclear weapons.

Last Tuesday, some of the world’s most prominent news organizations spread word about a terrible tragedy unfolding in the Gaza Strip. Images of a blast at a hospital were beginning to circulate on social media. The Palestinian health authorities claimed that Israel was responsible for the death of some 500 civilians. Because the details were extremely murky, it was impossible to tell who had caused the explosion or how many people had died. And yet some of the most reputable names in news media sent push alerts that broadcast Hamas’s claims far and wide.

Hundreds feared dead or injured in Israeli air strike on hospital in Gaza, Palestinian officials say,” wrote the BBC. “At least 500 people were killed by an Israeli airstrike at a Gaza hospital, the Palestinian Health Ministry said,” wrote The New York Times.

Biden’s meetings with Jordan, Abbas and others were cancelled due to inaccurate reporting.

Another possible explanation. Now...Hezbollah is in Lebanon...not Gaza. But guess what? Islamic Jihad uses very similar missiles. Still leaves the problem of how a missile of that type ended up in Gaza?
The various intelligent services are pretty certain Hezbollah has approx. 200 GPS guided rockets, Fateh 110's. They're also pretty certain Hamas doesn't. The mobile erectors/launchers are very large and would be extremely difficult to smuggle into Gaza.
