    Yes, I havent read all this thread.

    From the outset Trump has done things his way, twitter, grand ego, alienating other world leaders (yes our Oz PM copped an earful with their first phone conversation) and to a degree I think uniqueness is to be accepted as we are all individuals. However his behaviour is way over the top of protocol.
    They say you dont win the US Presidency, you lose it. Hillary lost it, Trump didnt "win" it. So if he is re-elected it will be because the Dem's lost the opportunity and Trump will continue to be the loose cannon he is.

    Can you spot the irony? Quote me saying that.

    You are obviously a supporter of America's enemies. Clearly. Nice rant, but that's what it screams, loud and clear, no room for doubt.

    You don't do research... Doing research means that you've looked at BOTH sides and reached an independant conclusion.
    What you did, as always, is to hunt for article that fit your narrative. This is called "confirmation bias", not research.

    You're not fooling anybody btw...

    I feel the same - Alexa is purely paranoid. Not much one can do with such people

    Trumpov should have had it done by proxies or at least make it look like the Russians did it or as it was an accident. What the Trumpocity did was to create a very prominent martyr for Iran and their terrorist friends.

    All Trump accomplished is get Iranian terroism more fired up and get anti American enemies working together. Not smart on the Trumpocity's part.

    Which is of course what I did. One side came from the people here. I was told he had killed millions of Americans - I looked for people who had researched it who did know and I discovered he had only killed Americans when he was at war with them. That is spreading falsehoods. Then of course there is the complaint about Iran helping other Muslim countries when Israel is killing or occupying them. That is because said people do not see Iran and the people of these countries as human beings. Fine for Israel to kill or occupy them but not fine for anyone to give them any support. and of course Israel over the past years has killed hundreds of Iranians but of course Iranians are not human beings to the far right and as someone was suggesting earlier a genocide on them is wanted by many of the Christian Right.

    Badaboon, I have never seen you provide any evidence that you know how to do anything but insult. You cannot argue the other position all you can do is insult.

    Nah, you didn't. You're just defending yourself because you made a blunder.
    Go back to school to learn how to research a subject.

    And stop with the ad hom, it doesn't work on me Alexa. If you think I went against the rule then report me, but please don't bore me with your silly accusation. You always do this when you're losing a debate.

    Clinton did not order any embassy to be bombed. Not China's, not Chad's , not even Chechnya's if Chechnya was an independent country and qualified for an embassy that is.

    Rania Khalek follows the same extremist radical mindset of Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib, except less well-known. She's a far-left propagandist. I'd take what she says with a grain of salt.

    Yes, maybe it's time America start fighting proxy wars too.
    Maybe get Yemen to fight Iran, just as Iran uses the Yemeni
    Houthis to fight America and allies.

    Reality back then meant slavery, or child sacrifice, tribal warfare,
    witch doctors, cannibalism, polygamy, pederasty and the like.
    Most of these things were outlawed under Christianity - and it
    seems we are returning to some of the practices.

    I'm glad he never directed us to mutilate the vagina of young girls!

    Yeah, your worship focuses on Trump.
    Why would anyone try to prove Soleimani didn't lead Iranian asymmetric warfare efforts around the Middle East? He was their soldier doing the mullahs' bidding.
    Just because we could didn't mean we should have. They just replace the guy with someone else. What does that get us?

    I saw Pompeo on the Sunday political shows saying the Admin was ready for anything they might do. What if they sent teams of terrorists to start forest fires? The idea we're ready for any possible Iranian reaction is BS.

    No, there is no “back then” when it comes to Truth, because Reality encompasses human conception of time. Jesus knew this very well, which is why he always referred to Truth, as opposed to referring to a particular strand of Christianity that was founded by religious individuals with clear ethnic, cultural, and political leanings.

    Except that only you guys refer to him as an “Iranian terrorist leader.” If I referred to Trump as Santa, does that mean I should expect him on the 25th?

    I don't have a problem with Ilhan or Rashida and my experience of her is very different to what you say. Things are however worse than I knew when I answered your post. Check these out.

    There is nothing radical or extremist about either of those representatives. It is radical alt-right extremists and their brainwashers who claim what you are claiming.
