Well, that would be good, but that wasn't really my question, since for that to happen, Israel would have to do way worse than anything they've done to date. My question was: you and the Left have all kinds of moral requirements of Israel. What are your similar requirements for Hamas? For instance, is it unreasonable to ask them to release the (live, if any) hostages? To stop hiding behind civilians? The Left seems willing to train current and future terrorist regimes that if they hide behind their civilians with no concern about their welfare whatsoever, the onus is on the victims (Israel, 10/7) to just acquiesce and let the terrorists survive, stay in power, and rape and murder more women and children in the future. And as a bonus, the majority of "civilians" that the SJWs are so concerned about, continue to support the rapist murderers. There is just so little moral confusion here, it is painstakingly clear. And I find it so frustrating.

Also, you twisted my words. I never said that about the Revolutionary War.

Thanks. So, why does this make things difficult for Israel? Asked another way: what is your expectation of Hamas, the elected and supported leaders of Gaza, in all of this?

Israel is not bombing civilians; they are bombing Hamas who hides behind civilians. Say these words, and we can have an adult discussion. If not, we are done.

Also, you absolutely twisted my words.

Personally, I've addressed this in the past few days. Most of the college kids are painfully ignorant, and would chant whatever pablum is presented to them. The issue is not the issue, the issue is the revolution. But there are some college students who truly want the eradication of Israel and Jews therein. And of course the professional, trained Alinsky protesters that nobody in the Leftist MSM talks about, who organize these violent events.

Depends on your definition of "have". Trump was allowed access to them, the "have" was having them offsite, without declassification. Biden should not have had them period, offsite or not. @Engorgeous Georgehad a great post listing other issues. HTH

Thanks. Watched the first 1/3, will watch the rest tomorrow. Interested to see what he says.

That's twisting my words, as evidenced by multiple confused faces to your post. I never said this about the Revolutionary War. To me it seems quite obvious, but sorry you can't see this. As to your second paragraph: no, I do not. The differences are so numerous and striking as to be beyond enumerating. Not to mention that there was nothing to "take back." But in the interest of discussion: I understand that Palestinian people want land. But they are a collection of warring tribes who, when given control of Gaza, elected Hamas whose sole charter is to kill all Jews in the world. Hamas has taken every humanitarian aid over the past few decades and used it to build tunnels and bombs. They also brainwash the civilians, from infancy, that they are the good guys and the Jews are the bad guys, while taking all of their resources and polluting their water supplies with their tunnels. In the past week, Hamas bombed a humanitarian aid station that Israel set up. Have you ever, ever, heard of a combatant in war set up a humanitarian aid station for their enemy? Furthermore, have you ever heard of the enemy bombing such stations, and stealing all of the aid that gets through? Furthermore, not a single Arab country will welcome in Palestinians, because they know that they are violent, warring people. So what would you have Israel do, Tim?

Thanks. I may go out tomorrow, or at least to the range to try @WhiteWonder's tips. Will advise if I do either. High of 90 tomorrow which is quite mild in a dry climate. Getting up into the mid 90s by the weekend; still OK, but not as much so.

You seem to know more about the Hur report than I: did he say anything about Biden having documents offsite which should never have been in his possession in the first place? That seems like another difference vis a vis Trump.

For those confused by this: I didn't say it about the Revolutionary War, I said that a country of Palestine never existed. He is twisting my words to do a typical Leftist false moral equivalence between the colonists and Hamas terrorists/their supporters.

Gaza is.

I said there were differences; that was an important part of my point. The question is: did he not bring charges because of those differences, or because Biden is old and decrepit? What Biden did wasn't a crime?

Ah, Kari Lake, easy on the eyes, but she is the gift to the Democrats who keeps on giving. We already lost the governor office because the far right put her up against Katie "duller than watching paint dry" Hobbs. Now we will lose a republican senate seat to Ruben Gallego, who is fairly far Left.

My guess is that Biden wins AZ. We've got a ballot measure to change our constitution to allow abortion until birth. This will bring out a lot of the young single female vote, and I don't think many of this demographic will vote for Trump.

Yes. You are. WTF does this stupid post mean?

I see we have the Venn Diagram approach that the Lefties used for the classified docs: compare the two situations, find something OMB did that Biden didn't, then declare THAT is the really really bad thing.

I don't see the post now, but somebody bumped something where he said he had "a retirement goal of $2M (now $3M)". I read that as he had exceeded his goal by $1M, because otherwise, wouldn't you just say your goal was $3M? Anyway, he says that he meant he increased his goal. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he also said he has a total net worth of $610K, and he isn't too far from retirement, so I would conclude that he is a bean counter who doesn't understand math.

Thanks, I didn't realize that. In that case I have no objections.

Is this your centrist way of saying that BeachGuy blatantly lied about his retirement savings?

Hey @BeachGuy23, I never saw your answer to: do you hate plurals in your work communications as well? Or is the lack of pluralization a secret corporate finance exec code, kinda like the Fight Club nod? TIA!

I know, I feel bad for mentioning the balance sheet/income statement/cash flow thing, it probably overly confused him.

Ouch. I feel bad for beachguy now, this has been painful to read, and I'm not a vindictive sort. I don't expect him to respond to my questions about his job and lack of grammar skills, since it would be embarrassing for him. I'll presume he's risen to "CFO" of a small company with a few salespeople selling their plastic spoons, and he has some perception of control over them.

Nope, not in what I did, depending on how good a year I had. Two serious questions: 1. Regarding the bolded, do you hate plurals in your work communications? 2. What does your company do? If not plastic spoons, I don't want to be unfair. I was in the electronic design automation (EDA) industry.
