I was not being in the least facetious. I don't think you know what you mean when you say violent felonies and i don't think you have thought through what are nonviolent felonies and what are crimes of moral turpitude. For instance what if an illegal is guilty of kidnapping or false imprisonment? They can be non-violent by some definitions and not by others. What about stautory rape, say the roman Polanski scenario. Nonviolent yet clearly a crime of moral turpitude and most of us, maybe not all but most would want that person prosecuted and deported. Frankly I suspect your thoughts on this matter are so rudimentary and unconsidered as to be essentially meaingless. I don't think you know yet what you mean other than you want to serve the platitude of violent felons and then get what you want otherwise which is essentially a country without borders. I don't think it is too much to ask you to define what you mean when you make a statement so open to interpretation.

He is no Jim Gustafson.

What about nonviolent felonies? What about violent misdemeanors? Waht about violent felonies which are pleaded down to violent misdemeanors? What about crimes of moral turpitude?

Define european. Do Italians count? How about Spaniards or the Irish?

I like a good nap.

No water for her citizens but money for bombing Isreal and for attempting to get nukes. Their reservoirs are dried up. The little water they have can be shut down with only a few well placed bombs. They are very vulnerable right now whether they admit it or not.

The vast majority at any rate.

If I were on the list i would throw away my cell phone, distance myself from others in command and definitely not attend meetings of large numbers of the command staff, and I would hope my 72 virgins were all female and hot.

It looks like they do. Leadership would devolve to a council until a new supreme leader is chosen. I wonder if those on such a presumptive council have all survived these initial air attacks.

Has an Ayatollah been killed in recent times by war? Aren't they supposed to be revered and with special status? Might the killing of an Ayatollah galvinize at least hardliners? I need to see if there is any comparxable example, not that such would absolutely predict reaction to this, but it might provide some insight.

Huge development if it bears out to be true. In the fog of war sometimes there are mistakes or inaccuracies reported.

We were lead to believe there was something imminent with India and several other countries. Now, silence. What happened?

No you are not. You are trying to start the rumors, but unfortunately for your efforts that is a non-starter.

I suppose No Kings!" might resonate with the people a bit more than "No Oligarchs" which was tried previously but it still misses the point rather badly. I suggest the next effort be "Trump the Tyrant". That has the alliteration ring to it which so many good disparaging titles seem to have.

Police need to exhibit more maturity and restraint than those hoping to get a rise out of them. It is a tough, nearly thankless job. I do remember one incident where I became very concerned the police with whom I had association were not going to fully exercise that maturity. Obama was going to visit Denver on a campaign stop. Multiple metro area agencies were going to be involved through an interagency cooperation agreement. We held trainings in resisting biting on the abuse anticipated to come. The event had one of the early tests of "designated free speech zones" near the speakers platform, within eyesight, but perhaps not within ear shot. (BTW those did not fully stand constitutional scrutiny though other jurisdictions trierd them as well and some still do.) One morning during training several officers showed up with t-shirts which were in contravention of the attitude we were trying to instill. The shirts read "You have to get up early if you want to beat the crowds". In the end the event went off with remarkable restraint by officers catching a fair ration of sh1t. The real lack of restraint came as the bills for the surrounding agencies' overtime came in to Denver and the Obama campaign. No blows were struck but it was touch and go there for a while.

That female officer seems attractive.

Maybe she was running guns for the Norski cartels.

What I should have said or written is that violence and ignorance are no more prevalent in one political party than the other when considering a two party dichotomy, which is what is usually in consideration at this site. You are correct, I did not accurately express my belief. My belief did not change, but my expression of it was so poor that one could, if they tried, read it as being changed or even a hypocracy. So be it. Sometimes I don't express myself as well as I might and misunderstanding is the price one pays when they fail at expression.

My belief on this subject is that the distribution of violence when graphed on a left/right political spectrum would essentially be an inverse Bell curve with moderates the less violent and propensity to violence raising as one moved left or right.

I disagree with "predominently" and that such is their mission. It is a tool, sometimes, a means to an end, but not their mission which to me implies their goal. Still, if you are suggesting I am mistaken in my opinion, my observations, you would be in good company.

After the no kings ralies there is no more Burger King, it is now Burger Authoritarian.

I have already offered my opinion which was that violence and ignorance have no political affiliation, that they occur on both ends of the political spectrum. Its right there in the post from above to which you replied.

People would wonder why you got stuck babysitting your drunken, irresponsible grandfather. I just may need to see whether we can make this happen. I do worry I might cramp your style as age has robbed my of the party impulse I once possessed.
