Your intellectual dishonesty is almost as shocking as the outright fraudulent nature of your posts.

You have to know what that event signified. You had to have been reading about what went down in Saudi Arabia soon after that photo.

You are just banking on other readers not knowing.

There ought to be a post ban penalty for such nonsense. There are an easily identified handful of members who thrive on spreading ignorance.

Saudi Arabia and Iran have been enemies forever. It's to stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon. Saudi Arabia isn't pursuing nuclear enrichment, to my knowledge.

They've not publicly got any weapons yet but they're enriching uranium at King Abdulaziz and refusing to comply with international inspections. They've had a policy of trying to buy nukes from other countries sincce '98 and I wouildn't be surprised if they hadn't bought some off Pakistan in the early 2000s. In Nov 2013 it was confirmed publicly Pakistan has nukes ready and waiting for Saudi.

The US has recently granted seven permits to Saudi to allow transfer of nuclear knowledge from US companies to the plant and Trump and Pompeo have refused to answer requests over what they're for by a congressional committee. China and Israel are also competing for the multi-billion tender for the Saudi nuclear programme.

Pelosi just said “Trump won’t be President next year, one way or another”

That should worry people.

After what they did during the 2016 election, and what they've done since.

I'm also worried about McDonalds stating there wouldn't be a fair trial since he sworn allegiance to trump to the press...

No witnesses!!

USA: bringing stability to the ME since ..always.

Well played America... but won't work this time. The collective world including allies aren't buying any of it anym...


What's keeping us from bombing all their (iran) elected officials...

Anyone whining about fairness at this point missed the complete RAIL ROAD job Schiff,Nadler, and Pelosi orchestrated.

Democrats are suppose to be the front line leaders on LGBT rights. Why did they willingly agree to give billions to a country that stones to death gays.

Will someone PLEASE ask them. Nobody has the proverbial balls to ask them. Ask Buttigieg his thoughts on a country that would stone him and his husband to death for having anal sexual intercourse. These people want to kill you Peter. Why give them money and defend them. They want you and your hubby dead.

is it true that in some us-states practicing oral sex or anal sex is a crime? but it is allowed to have sex with a dead person...? and is it true showing tits on tv is a bigger scandal as for example making jokes of disabled people or talking about shooting someone in public?

Conspiracy Theory Time------and hopefully EVERYONE CAN PLAY ALONG. No Partisan politics required (well....okay its a little Pro Trump but please hear me out)

I was trying to explain this whole fiasco to my girlfriend. She deals with cancer patients everyday so politics isn't her thing. Anywho....

Iran has been having some issues in its "liberalization" of its youth. You have a group of people in charge that are kinda letting the youths get more "westernized" so to speak and the group out there that doesn't want a generation of its youth more sympathetic to its enemies. So a power struggle ensues and at the repressive end sits a certain Iranian General.

So Trump does a favor to the segment of Iran trying to get out from under oppressive religious rules and hits the general. As a symbolic gesture Iran hits soft targets. Forget the bombing of the plane---that has nothing to do with this.

I just thought everything that has happened since the general was taken out was carefully done. Iran talks about fire and brimstone in its response and after a token attack---suddenly Iran feels they have done just enough to maybe not come across as complicit in this? Of course the plane being taken down helps them step back---but I found even Trumps statement about the downing of the plane to be cautiously worded. I fully expected him to run this in Irans face like he does to everyone else.

Iranians are protesting their gov because they killed their own people and than lied to cover it up. And you guys give Trump credit for it?
It must be one of those Trump truths in same category with black unemployment being an all time low because of Trump ( although it has been decreasing for the last 10 years and probably will continue during who ever become the next POTUS), or when Trump is taking credit for lower cancer death rates

About "had a poor record on human rights", how far back are we talking? America's record on human rights isn't the best, so that stone should not be cast...

Old overplayed verbage....

Choctaw here, willing to bet (we have many casinos feel free) you never understand Muskogee as a term, not a description.

For a mental exercise, rank the years by the six European nations that caused the genocide prior the the mess handed to the Colonial (later United States) to clean up. I would start with Spain, Portugal, France, Great Britain as a hint. Easy to pass off, ignoring the near 300 years prior.

The United States made mistakes in the relocation, not anywhere near to the death toll of European causes. Get you facts in order.

Edit: What percentage of world slave trade landed in the United States compared to "the Americas?"....

Your just another TDS sufferer. I'd suggest you get help but your condition is fatal.

I think this is important to note. During the period of high black unemployment under Obama, the former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus – Emanuel Cleaver – said that “with [such high black] unemployment, if we had a white president, we’d be marching around the White House… President [Obama] knows we are going to act in deference to him in a way we wouldn’t to someone white.”

they're a prolific abuser of human rights, which includes the execution of their own citizens. 

Then why are we friends with saudi Arabia? If any of this was about morals why do we bow down to saudi arabia?

Trump isn't afraid to play hardball with iran, but it's certainly nothing to do with morality. It's all about power in the ME as always...

Saudi Arabia is guilty of literally everything the OP is proud of Trump being against. And more.

Yet there he is rubbing their ball.

Maybe it’s time to admit that none of this is about any moral crusade to bring down state sponsored terrorism in the name of freedom.

I can't speak for OP, but most rational ppl realize it was never, primarily, about morality.

If it were, we could easily stop humanitarian travesties going on in places like S. Africa.

The difference is, there is no oil, and no Isreal there.

Don't get me wrong, I believe we have national, and security issues in the ME that need to be kept on top of, but the morality rhetoric, and support of revolutionary protests are just tools of leverage.

It's hard to support american imperialism when no morality is involved....

To be fair, the graph linked in the article shows a steady decline from 2009 to 2019. It's easy to blame every economic trend on a president.

a reply to: XCrycek

Careful....you might just let your open disdain for a stranger appear too obvious. LOL

Question---has it ever occurred to you for a minute that Trump was right about the opposition to him from day one? I mean plenty of never trumpers were LOL'ing claims he was spied upon.......crediting his massive ego for thinking he was important enough. And yet three years later----HOLY CRAP HE WAS RIGHT. It seem to me that the left---the same people calling for open minds constantly---can't ever entertain for a second that Trump might've been right.

From the same article, you must have missed this.

http s://nationalcenter.org/project21/2019/11/05/liberals-ignored-high-black-unemployment-under-obama-wont-celebrate-record-lows-under-trump/

The economic policies of our first black president exacerbated black unemployment during the recession, helping black unemployment to reach or exceed 16 percent on 11 occasions. Obama Administration officials told us that high national unemployment, high black unemployment and a depressed economic environment in which businesses hired fewer employees because people stopped looking for work was the “new normal.”

Hot damn half the posters on this sight could go to work immediately for high ranking propaganda sights as the U.S. is being used once again for its military plain and simple...

Furthermore alot of arm chair warriors here who have never seen combat in South East Asia need to STFU about it until they too understand it's all a farce and get our troops the Fu.. out of there.

Regardless if the base costed money....

That argument is shear ignorant, we going to sweep up the bomb material too before we can leave?

a reply to: fringeofthefringe

Black unemployment has been decreasing for a decade now, nothing to do with Trump.
Had Hillary won it would still be at all time low.
As I said, it's one of those Trump truths, just like the idiot is giving himself credit for low cancer related death rates. If we find life on Mars next month Trump and his bootlickers would find a way to take credit for it.
