    There is a world of difference between saying they have a right to do something, and saying they should do something.

    Actually, Israel is demonstrating exactly the opposite.
    And vaccines do not delete one's immunity.

    Seriously, you need to read up on this instead of blathering nonsensical stuff.

    And why should his nationality interest you at all? Isn't this the part where Conservatives say that people shouldn't be sticking their noses in other peoples' business?

    Hint: his nationality has no bearing on his ability to analyse or debate.

    What do think is currently indefensible that I should be defending? Did I not meet your super-duper secret timetable, or what?

    Again: juvenile behavior.

    Of course he can analyze or debate. You simply invented an position for me. I asked a question. Hint: Asking questions is allowed on the forum. ;) What on earth have I done to you to elicit this nonsense from you?

    Try again:

    Taliban - Wikipedia

    And back to your source, here:

    Country Reports on Terrorism 2019 - United States Department of State

    (Written while Trump was President, to note)

    For instance:

    Better luck to you next time.

    Sure, asking a question is ok. Getting personal is not. You DO understand that, right?

    And? So what? People with brains in their heads know what needs to be done in order to beat a deadly pandemic.

    As I provided earlier, it is not listed as a terrorist organization by the USA government. The list I provided was from the government website and supersedes any wiki article you might find.

    At least you are not denying it. It is more proprogana than necessary for one. Two, it does not help. It will only create a different 'pandemic' in the breakdown of our freedom and societal unity.

    OK sea lawyer. It is good to know that beheading people and their families for not following taliban rules is not terrible or terrorist. It is a real relief to me. I don't think the U.S. lists North Korea as a terrorist state either but it appears to be one nevertheless.

    I didn't say it wasn't authoritarianism or tyranny. You have to negotiate with heads of state.

    Israel thinks so.If not for Israel we would not know how potentially unsafe
    a 2nd poke { vaccine } is.Plus there are places where Covid is not a
    problem.Like Romania where only a small percent of the population
    has taken the vaccine.Same with India { albeit over 1.3 Billion
    live in India }.So 10 % amounts to 130 million.
    Australia seems to be the belllwether for outright Covid hysteria.
    Again albeit no real reason as to why.Just Shut-up and Obey.
    Now Blubber-Face Governor of Illinois J.B.Pritzker is back to playing
    the bully.Obviously one of the New World Order wannabees.
    Issuing a mask wearing mandate.Totally unsurprising.Can't be outdone by
    other Lying Blue State Authoritarians.

    We are WAY past the Coula,Shoulda,Woulda game by now.
    Democrats unlike their counterpart { Republicans } feel they have the
    upper hand.Now virtually in dominant control of all levers of power.
    Most of Government { even though Trump did make sure and
    install plenty of Federal Judges } the Press,Mainstream Media,
    Silicon Valley,Hollywood and the uber rich ... Even the ACLU which
    got bought by George Soros { The Biggest benefactor for the ACLU. }
    If not for Talk Radio and Fox plus the few remaining Conservative sites
    our country would already be The Next Cuba.

    Enough with circular argumentation.It leads to being quarrelsome.
    Just as it takes two to tango it takes two to bicker over practically
    nothing.

    Trump is even worse than he says he is, and you demonstrate what he's talking about in that post -- you seem to ignore Trump's faults entirely. Biden doesn't get a pass when he screws up, but so far he is a helluva lot more sane and competent than Trump. Why do you give Trump a free pass on everything? Why does Trumpism entail absolute loyalty and devotion to Trump rather than to principles? I can propose an easy answer -- Trump himself has no principles and simply says or does whatever is convenient for him at the moment, which leaves you nothing but the man himself to cling to. The man and his empty boasts and grandiose claims and promises. A quintessential flim-flam man, con artist and narcissist.

    And what do you counter with here? Nonsense about "the left," about what that nebulous, villainous "they" are trying to do to poor you. You're allowing a partisan & media propaganda machine to control your thinking if you actually believe any of that. It is all absurd and seems to be a barrier you're throwing up to avoid facing reality. The reality is that the former Republican party is a party of lies and cult of personality now. It's not a party at all, in fact, but a conspiracy to power relying on deception and gradiose lies directed at Democrats. They can't run on facts because the facts simply are not on their side, hence the absurdities about the border and the pandemic response. It's an escape from reality, nothing more.

    This is my comment in another thread:

    I wrote this in another thread...

    Remember those anti-drug commercials showing an egg frying? The voiceover would say "This is your brain on drugs. Don't do drugs."
    They'll make a replica of that and show Trump with his tail between his legs and the voiceover will say "This is what happens when your kid doesn't hear the word 'no' until he's in his 70s. Parents teach your kids they won't always get their way (preferably before they're out of diapers and definitely before they are back in them.")
