According to the facts of the case Barrio 18 first tried to "recruit" Gacia when he was 12. He resisted and his family moved twice to help him (and themselves) avoid the pressure.

Arguably the US government cannot go in and remove someone from a foreign jail, which I cam sure was the DOJ's argument. But even in the strictest sense of the word the US has done nothing - as in not one thing - to facilitate return either. Things that might be facilitating return: a letter from the US State Department, a call or written request from the president or the Sec. of DHS, sending a US diplomatic plane to have a meeting with the head of the prison or foreign ministry. Nothing of the sort has happened.

He's definitely not with PV anymore, in fact they're suing each other. I was asking because the video posted refers to Project Veritas as "James O’Keefe coming in hot."

He's not with Project Veritas anymore, is he?

That's hilarious, thank you, never heard that one.

Trump make all his merch over there. He's got banking accounts, trademarks over there...

At least Constantinople was in Turkey (I suspect they did it because the Turks were ethnically cleansing Greeks from the nation in the 1920s but anyway...), and those examples yeah were cities or places within nations so it was always their "business." You're right going around renaming international bodies of water with centuries old names is like walking around telling people you shall henceforth call chestnuts "Trumpnuts" or mockingbirds "Melaniabeaks".

Tellyawhat, I'm fine with this, the source. Comer, Luna, all of it, every word. Fine, so all we need is for Patel, Bongino and Bondi to testify when the data was received and what happened to it and when. Easy. Because - and here's the fun part - Epstein was arrested by US Attorney Alex Acosta, whom Trump appointed to his cabinet. And Epstein was defended by Trump's own criminal attorney, Allen Dershowitz. - Hey Comer should have Acosta testify what happened when Acosta's people seized Epstein's data and Dershowitz can turn over his files. Yes by all means Rep. Comer should proceed.

The real reason we are pausing the attacks on Yemen.

I'm personally not in favor of the monuments/streets/bases renaming thing but I can at least see why liberals and non-liberals alike want it. I have no objection to "Persian Gulf", it must be several millennia old. But I'll tell you who does object: the mullahs of Iran who changed their country's name from Persia to Iran. "Persia" is the name preferred by Iranians who oppose the regime.

The Pentagon hasn’t had a single briefing all year. This is no exception.

Hegseth was responsible for canceling Ukrainian aid, without being instructed to by Trump.

I suspect this starts when Trump doesn’t know or can’t remember the names or locations of places on maps. It’s possible his staff does this for him then they have to get it on maps, etc.

Why do you think he lied? This is like a bar argument over the greatest QB of all time & someone pipes in about the great Steelers QB Roger Staubach.

I’m trying to agree with you, you have a point he’s a profligate, constant liar. I’d agree also surely he was briefed. But again why he lies I have no idea.

Gaza. The last mosque in Gaza City was knocked down last week or so. The oldest the Grand Mosque was built in the 600s.

St. Petersburg is Leningrad. Volgograd is Stalingrad. Koenigsberg is Kalingrad. Cambodia is Kampuchea. Saigon is Ho Cho Minh City. Yes, we know, on and on, Comrade, we know, we know.

This reminds me of the liberals claiming Obamacare would lower health care costs, they’d just go away.

I’m fine with your arguing that Trump is lying. Sure, I’ll buy that. It doesn’t change the humiliation of his being laid out like that. And why he lied, no idea.

This is easy to answer and it’s not a question of being liberal or conservative, it’s a fact of economics. Bezos doesn’t pay the tax, he passes it on to the consumer. The Amazon buyer pays the tax, not Bezos.

I’m all ears. He said trade with Canada is Insignificant, that doesn’t sound like someone who knows they’re our biggest trading partner.

I can’t speak for liberals but my guess is they’d say he owns too many corporations. And I agree the WaPo should not be influenced by what Amazon needs. But as for Amazon, I’m not a customer but a good chunk of maga is. I don’t get why adding taxes on them is good for them, other consumers, Amazon, retail or anyone.

How do you explain that Trump has no idea who America trades the most with?

The EU & China announce increased cooperation. Really this took a lot of effort on Donald’s part.

Let’s say this is true that liberals are for this - I’m not agreeing but FTSOA - what’s wrong with this? It’s capitalism. Companies profit & hire more people, consumers get cheap goods & save more for the family or the future. More trade happens, more people get hired, revenues increase, stocks increase, the government makes more from taxes, people get stuff. I just see wins here.
