Immortality comes when you don't kill others ?
bayelsaowei:
Shocking?

Really? You really think we have full control of our lives, in such a way that we can choose to freely and happily take the lives of others (innocent children and women) or support such actions. ?

We are all just dust in the eyes of God.. so when we posture like we ourselves are immortals, life then sets in.

This is a reminder to you, and others here who tout and support the outright killings of fellow humans (you know what I am talking about).. or fight against adequate health care for the poor or helpless (and call it communism, because one is somehow well to do)..

Erdogan is not a conservative.He is a Jihadist. His views are derived from Sharia.
The default rule in Sharia is that a woman's awrah (unclothedness ) must not be exposed to or touched by non-mahram men (men she can marry).

However, Islam prioritizes health, allowing exceptions under strict hierarchies of preference.According to guidelines from bodies like The Jordan Dar al-Ifta and other Islamic councils, a pregnant woman should seek medical care according to the following order of precedence
_:A Muslim female doctor
_A non-Muslim female doctor
_A Muslim male docto
_A non-Muslim male doctor


Sharia forbids elective CS if you didn't know.
Turkey would be a theocratic sharia state like Iran were it not for for Kamel Attartuk and their current desire to be part of the EU. They badly want the EU membership so that Islam can spread easily and take over Europe. Erdogan shares the views with this Palestinian.

NYT journalists sim ones by FBI for publishing a report about the New Air force One lacking anti missile defence systems while the president was in Europe.


https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/business/media/new-york-times-trump-subpoenas.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes


.NEW YORK TIMES – The Trump administration issued subpoenas on Friday to several journalists for The New York Times, after the news outlet reported this week on security concerns involving President Trump’s new Qatari-donated Air Force One.

The subpoenas — which seek to force the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday — were an extraordinary escalation in President Trump’s efforts to threaten and intimidate independent news organizations.

In some cases, the subpoenas were delivered by federal agents who showed up at reporters’ homes.


[…] “Our journalists report the facts and advance the American public’s right to know how their government is operating and their taxpayer dollars are being used,” Mr. McCraw wrote. “This brazen act should be seen as nothing more than an attempt to prevent the public from knowing what is happening in their country by intimidating journalists from doing their jobs.”

The subpoenas contain few specifics, asking only that the journalists testify “in regard to an alleged violation of federal criminal law.” They were issued by Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan. Mr. Clayton, who leads one of the country’s most prominent law enforcement offices, was recently nominated by Mr. Trump to serve as director of national intelligence.

[…] The Times reported that the new Air Force One, a Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8, lacked some of the advanced security features of the older aircraft, including antimissile capabilities. Both articles cited sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security issues.

Before the Wednesday article was published, a senior official at the Federal Bureau of Investigation contacted The Times to ask that the article be held, calling it an issue of national security, according to a person familiar with the conversation. The F.B.I. official spoke with a reporter and a senior editor in The Times’s Washington bureau; the official declined to explain the security issue when asked. (A spokesman for The Times, Charlie Stadtlander, confirmed the account.)


This is totally irresponsible journalism. The journalists should be forced to declare the source of the leaks.
The plane usually has a convoy of journalists and a lot of Uther people.

Is that how common sense works?

You think you are exhibiting common sense?

Adios with your “silly” common sense.
The supreme court didn't uphold. It declined to hear the case without giving any reason. The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) rejects approximately 7,000 to 8,000 cases each year..

From a woman who used to watch "The Apprentice" for years after that . She would have been smashing TV screens instead she enjoyed it .

, E. Jean Carroll did watch The Apprentice, but she explicitly avoided watching the parts where Donald Trump fired people.During her 2023 civil trial against Trump, his defense team brought up 2012 Facebook posts where Carroll called herself a "massive fan" of the reality series. On the witness stand, Carroll and her legal team clarified several details regarding her relationship with the show:
Initial Panic Attack: A clinical psychologist testifying on Carroll’s behalf stated that the very first time Carroll was shown a clip of The Apprentice during a TV show pitch meeting at a network, she suffered a severe panic attack. The trauma response temporarily took away her capacity to speak, forcing her friend to finish the pitch.
Witty Competition: Once she actually began watching the show, Carroll admitted she genuinely enjoyed the format, testifying, "I had never seen such a witty competition on television, and it was about something worthwhile, competing."
Skipping Trump's Scenes: Carroll made it clear that while she loved the contestants, she disliked Trump's segments. She testified, "I didn't watch that part" when it came to the boardroom scenes where Trump delivered his trademark firing lines.
Supporting Friends: Carroll also explained that part of her public praise for the show on social media was intentional promotion to "boost" two of her friends who were appearing as contestants


A sane judge would have thrown her to jail. The alleged incident caused her so much trauma she enjoyed watching his show.
E Jean Carroll couldn't delete her FB posts in time ,so she had to come up with that warped theory

Compare it to Ijebosb ardently following basilico podcasts .

IjeBos:
You still seem to struggle to understand what "the court" is and consistently struggle to read court documents.
In fact, you will have claimed to have read a ruling and yet argue the opposite of what the ruling says in plain language (ex. the Trump immunity ruling).

So, let me help you.
This is a court memorandum. It is an explanation of what the court (Judge) has decided.
E. JEAN CARROLL v. DONALD J. TRUMP (case name)
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.590045/gov.uscourts.nysd.590045.212.0_1.pdf

You can read it in its entirety. Given your history and your aptitude, you probably won't understand it or in your emotional ranting think it says the opposite again.

So, let me pull portions out for you. I've even highlighted it to make it easier for clearly uneducated people like yourself to understand.

You are still embarrassing yourself.

Therefore you’re rambling a bunch of disjointed nonsense to achieve what? To justify ? Excuse?

It's wrong shots had to be fired. Regrettable that a death occured

Please don't expect me to agree with anything that comes from liberal especially if it's controversial and likely to score any political point. Liberals are proven liars abd propagandists.

How do you support rulers who murdered over 30000 of their own people this year.
Which Iranians do you support,the leaders or the people who spent months without internet. If you were in Iran ,this your thread would have gone silent for three months. You admire proven murderers I support the Iranian people not jihadists carrying upside down toilets on their heads.

America has not killed millions bh the way that's pure propaganda from you. All their wars have been to replace tyrannical leadership's or block Communist spread.

Exactly. They went after Trump with every arsenal they could muster to derail any chance of him rebounding.

As I have ever posted before ,if they had a shred of evidence, a single photo or video he abused girls with Epstein, that would have knocked him out permanently.
Those Jean Carroll Alvin Bragg and Jack Smith cases would never have gone on trial.



benalvino3:
The jury applied the civil standard more likely than not - not proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Based on the words of people who are always going after him? She has accused at least ten men of sexually abusing her. None of those incidents has a police report or any physical evidence. She wrote a book and put those men in it.

A lot of people have been wrongly sent to jail by the courts based on testimony, and the truth later came out. Some college boys lost their enrollment based on mere accusations, only for the truth to later come out.

Just because a daughter, mother, or sister is a factor doesn't mean I should believe the words of a woman who said rape is sexy. If someone accuse of of rape, your sisters and mother would be the first to say it is a lie regardless if the accusation is true or not.

Why would I believe her when she says someone did something many decades ago, she is crazy? She first wrote the book before Trump's 2020 election, now they gave exception so she can litigate for the 2024 election. Sorry, I don't buy it. there is a notable similarity to a 2012 episode of Law & Order as well.

Gosh!!!
I have posted here that nearly all Trump cases always end up under a Democrat judge .In this e Jean Carroll case .
1.
The District Trial Court Judge Lewis A. Kaplan presided over both the 2023 and 2024 trial proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. He was appointed to the federal bench by President Bill Clinton in 1994.
2.
The 2nd Circuit Appeals Court Panel (December 2024 Ruling)
The three-judge appellate panel that unanimously rejected Trump's initial appeal on December 30, 2024, consisted of:

A)Judge Denny Chin: Appointed by President Barack Obama.

B)
Judge Sarah A.L. Merriam: Appointed by President Joe Biden.

C)
Judge Maria Araújo Kahn: Appointed by President Joe Biden.


As expected most of the Democrat appointed judges almost always rule against Trump. Almost always. I repeat.

The SCOTUS declined to take ip the case without giving any reasons .

I don't believe there was ever a one to one meeting of Trump and e Jean Carroll at any time. The fix is always in.
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 10:34am On Jul 11
The shooting is regretful,I have stated that. It's bad enough.
To requote, if someone told you he saw your wife kissing another man ,then you ask her , she explains it was nothing since they didn't exchange saliva, you'd swallow that?
It's happened,it's bad enough . I am not calling for a lynching of the agent ,I don't believe the agent just shot the man without reason or provocation.
If that was the case the agent should be charged .


bayelsaowei:
Imagine if ICE shot your relative (which they shouldn’t have done out of being trigger happy) and then it ends up being a situation of mistaken identity. Additionally, ICE then tries to deport the eye witnesses of the incident to cover up their malfeasance. Think about that for a moment..

So that as you plan to support rubbish it could also happen to you.

If you beat them into submission or bribe them , they will lie low and rebuild again to continue the fight. If you kill them they inspire millions of otters to fight more aggressively.
