I assure you, the majority of practiced Islam is abhorrent and their values are in direct conflict with ours. You touch on perhaps the most important factor, that lack of reformation as Christianity experienced. If Christianity had not reformed, they would be rather abhorrent today as well. MOST muslims practice Islam without deviation, and where they might not agree with killing gays or women, they will not challenge it... MOST of Islam globally is abhorrent. I have been on the ground around it for years. Your view is not congruent with the global reality. And they WILL and HAVE stayed firm to those beliefs even here in the US. examples are plentiful You have been sold this notion that a religion of billions is somehow "put upon" and it is wrong to call out the evil nature of that religion, that is not the case....

I think there is merit to your assertion, such as blaming all police for the actions of one bad actor, right? Well, let me help you here, if you were to travel (as I have) from Syria, to Turkey, to Jordan....Iraq, Qatar...and god forbid Egypt...you would encounter.....daily and at every turn the most violent and abusive people.....sourcing their religion as justification. Everything you pretend to see in American conservatives is present in Muslims, but 10x worse....they murder gays, they murder women for the slightest offense....every day.... If you truly think and believe as you portray yourself, then you should find Islam abhorrent.....

Keep in mind that while today this clown insists individual freedoms and people should mind their own business, during CVOID he setup a system for neighbors to snitch on each other for being outside without a mask on....ala Chinese Communist Style

I think there is merit in these assertions. Moreover, I think we have to wait for a couple of months for the later revisions to the reports. The first report is rarely true.

I appreciate that MSM has sold you this notion, but on the ground in the middle east. your version of Islam is not true....not at all. You are highlighting a smaller set of muslims and trying to pretend away a rather nasty and violent religion

Not specifically of course, but their need for attention and insistence on constantly making others aware of their sexual desires....

So then, since most of the time there is no problem, we should not raise any alarm at the rare instance that might arise where they do?

Again dude.....I mean, yeah....the normal process is being used.....so yeah, not rushing to beat an election means normal things are being done....

I am on the fence. People with whom I associate in the world markets are not all that enthused with Trump. The military industrial complex does not care for him. His insistence to limit wars and secure peace was a hit to the bottom line. If I were to bet money, I would look to the big defense contractors as a likely source of potential support for Crooks. Trump is now associated with less war and more peace, and I know people who do not take kindly to that.

Call it what you want, its the same way every investigation in every criminal case is pursued; just without the recklessness of speed vs justice

Apparently the general is not down with it

Cori Bush faces difficult primary amid Democratic rift over Israel So maybe we get another big win here, and another vile POS human is jettisoned from a position of power......

Oh, cool, then we are in alignment, cause I hope he does it again as well

non sequitor

The snarky sarcasm is your " go to" when all else fails. As a narcissist you presume you have it all figured out so when you cannot convince others to see as you do, you make a mockery of it.....like a child

My position, as always, is based on the available evidence. As such I do agree with the continued investigation. And...I will reiterate at this time, I do not care about the RICO and tax crimes they committed, if that is all we get from this then I will be rather dissatisfied. I want to know what Biden sold our enemies to have that money funneled into this family, anything short of that and this entire pursuit is a failure IMHO

No, they saw a reporter with an agenda lash out at a man who was invited to come speak, and that man stood up to the attacks of a partisan hack with dignity and control...... So you see it yours, and I see it mine....

Correct. During a criminal investigation the "prosecution" alleges something happened, now we as citizens are not bound to that....we get to think freely.

No thanks. The courts are supposed to presume innocence. Although, your point is worth considering. I mean, rushing to judgement can be costly (CNN) and even lead to embarrassment (Smollett) and also have horrible outcomes like cities burning (George floyd). So I will concede there is merit in not presuming a situation. Though I did wait until they provided the whistleblowers, IRS statements and bank account information as well as the corroboration of Hunters laptop before I settled into my position.

Yes, but that is your bias talking. I could counter with how what I observed would resonate. but that does not make me any more correct than you. What will likely arise is that somewhere in the middle are a slice of people who rely more on common sense, and will evaluate it more thoughtfully than either you or I. I hope people see it my way, because everyones life was much better when Trump was in office, and I am willing to endure silly statements to get a better life. I endures silly statements under Biden with inflation etc....so lets just focus on quality of life over personal feelings about the canidate.

Correct....I am convinced. If I were not convinced I would say that this is a fruitless effort....as was true with Trump. If I did not believe emphatically, then why would I insist he be investigated....it makes no sense to pretend I am not convinced....

Correct. And as I have repeatedly said, yes.....we investigate for as long as it takes....it took years to get Hunter, it could take years to get Joe as well. This pursuit is less of a fruitless effort than all the fabricated investigations of Trump....at least, (so far) we do not have DOJ faking documents to pursue this..... so there is that

No get that. So then it is likely true that those already entrenched with or against either candidate will "see" something negative or positive. I think the question likely then would be whether those undecided folks saw one or the other. The crowd present sure cheered him when he stood up for himself.

This is where I am often fascinated. We both watched the same thing, and we came away with starkly different perceptions as to what transpired. You and I are likely each convinced that we have the correct interpretation.

Great.....now I will not get that song out of my head for the rest of the day
