Since when does crime matter when the last Democrat president issued a pre emptive pardon to his family for crimes indicted for and those not indicted for

When talking about politician and crime, anyone who voted and supported Biden should take a back seat
Yes, I'm sure that logic made sense in your brain.
No wonder you're a Trumper.

Dude is proudly voting for a criminal after voting for another one 3 times.

You cannot go past semantics. Take your L to your white BF.

The facts are standing at my corner.
The Strait of Hormuz is governed by international law (the transit-passage regime). Facts

Even though the waters are technically territorial seas of Iran and Oman, coastal states have only limited authority. Facts

They cannot suspend, hamper, or impair continuous and expeditious transit of foreign vessels and aircraft (UNCLOS Part III, Articles 38 and 44). Facts

Coastal regulation is mainly limited to safety, collision prevention, and environmental protection. Facts

That's the legal koko of the matter. The distinctions international waters or strait is what you choose and what I choose, but it does not change the legal or practical result

Iran and Oman do not have the ability to close the strait or treat it like a private toll road the way Egypt treats the Suez Canal.

You don't take tolls or prevent jets from flying through your country, but you can prevent it from landing.

Iran signed the treaty; educate yourself.

In times of war, you can restrict enemy vessels, but it doesn't remove the navigation rights of neutral shipping.
This post sounds confused and muddled.
It reads like a child talking about what color a crayon tastes like after eating it.

Honestly, you're not smart enough nor well-read enough to be talking about this
Stick to what suits you best; writing middle school posts about homoerotica and people being gay.

Is there any Republican Seante candidate who isn't/wasn't under investigation for corruption.

Susan Collins/ Maine Senate
Paxton the crminal Raumdeuter in voting for/ Texas Senate
Miek Collins / Georgia Senate

Seems like the Republican Party is a corruption syndicate

I never said that you put in quotes.

This is how we know you are losing. The straight is governed by international law, the strait is a water way, therefore it is international water.

I am not discussing territory with you.

This is what you cut out from your image: Governing Law: Even though the waters may technically belong to the territorial sea of bordering coastal states, they are subject to the regime of transit passage (under UNCLOS Part III). Under this regime, coastal states have limited authority and cannot suspend, hamper, or impair the passage of foreign vessels and aircraft, provided the transit is continuous and expeditious. Coastal laws apply mainly to navigation safety, collision prevention, and environmental protection.


As Raumdeuter said, you are DB.
Dude can't even speak English well enough to even understand the words he is using let alone understand the complexities of them or the issues surrounding them.

You brought up a treaty the US hasn't and Iran hasn't signed to tell us why the straight is governed by international law when even if it was governed by that treaty the US is yet to sign, Iran would still be at war and by that treaty would have the right to restrict navigation to certain vessels if it chose.

That's the reason Trump was a colossal idiot to do what he did. Because it is going to be tremendously difficult to control that strait or have it open indefinitely without the support of Iran because of how close it is to Iran (at is narrowest the water extends 21 miles from Iran).
And the US will have to make a case that it has the right to control water that is right next to another country based on a treaty it didn't sign because the US was concerned about its own sovereignty.
Yes, it continues making us look like the a-hole.

I put the facts down.. Biden dealt with a pandemic that your god was unable to manage and then brought inflation down to 3%.

The love of war by your god of peace has currently brought inflation up to 3.7%.
Biden inherited the Pandemic from Trump and then a war in Russia.
He put his head down and went to work. US inflation was lower than other wealthy countries around the world post Pandemic.
He handed Trump a managed inflation situation in which he took and did what Trump does well. F'xed it up.
He put on illegal inflationary tariffs and then started and illegal war in Iran.
The stuff he did wasn't even legal, because the Founders left them to Congress understanding the complexities surrounding them and the need for great debate before doing them. Complexities like crashing the US economy.
Trump said, I know best..

It is still international waters.
You hardly use your head for reasoning.

I already explained to you why it is international water based on the legal laws tied to it.

Use your head, your screenshot still sited the international laws I already mentioned.
Professor "I run my mouth though I never know what I'm talking about", said he explained something to me. Bwahahahahah
He said "See, since water flows through the area around Hormuz and it is international it is international waters. Look at the pretty picture of water flowing there"

I am tired of him..
I get it, it's exhausting having to assume everything they say is a lie or wrong.

One of the problems is one of the justifications the US is using to argue free navigation through the Strait, is the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
The problem is the US never ratified the treaty. So, they are not a signatory of it.
And the reason we never ratified it was Conservative concerns over sovereignty.

We need to get it together on how we project our 'values'. With China rising I think our ability to have our cake and eat it too is going to start dwindling fast.

When the Houthis blocked the Bab el-Mandeb strait was there a war? They used Israel fighting Hamas as an avenue to bomb ships, you people still blamed Trump for trying to stop the Houthis.

Iran is Iran; the strait is international waters. Trump bombed Iran, so who started the issue in the strait?

Again, what is wrong with Trump buying Russian diesel, and what is wrong with him trying to bring the price down?
Professor "I never know what I'm talking about" is giving us another lecture on something he has no idea about.

AI says 2% with 16% having doubts, but by Nigerian belief standards, I'd reckon 50-60% with a generous 30 as a margin since I'm exaggerating. Many will tell you they believe because their house and wage depends on it, but dig deeper and most are borderline atheists. Even our King is now Defender of Faiths, in recognition of the Gods of others.

Locals only, note. Migrants, of which they are many vicars in CofE, are predominantly believers. The Nigerians amongst them even claim they are returning God to England, but migrants are mostly the ones buying.
Wow. Very interesting. I wonder how many Catholic bishops believe similarly.
Though I do believe it's possible to believe in your God but also be a defender of faiths.

It's not good for us or the world.
The amount of oil does nothing for the price of oil.
But the amount Russia will be receiving will help them keep the war with Ukraine going.
It probably violates US law as well.

Just a bad deal that benefits Putin.
But as always, all roads in this administration lead to Putin.

I think belief in God was dumped with belief in the Pope at the Reformation. Been there and done that and stopped believing, was most of Europe in the 15th Century when the Catholic Church lost its mystery to the Scientific Age. In England, read from the Book Common Prayer or you were Catholic and were persecuted just as some maga here would have Muslims and those they call 'illegals', but they soon evolved out of that. Know your place and have manners and be grateful to God and the King or Queen was it. They after all had the money to feed themselves from making others do the work so they can plunder so much of the world such that "the empire on which the sun never sets" was once their crown.

Yes, Church of England 12 years straight, Bible study for years, parochial church council secretary for 6, English to foreigners for 8 and youth classes. Hardly missed a Sunday less I was out the country, and I was away a bit. Only stopped being regular 12 years or so ago when the vicar changed then I got paralysed for my sinnings. Was a woman, then man took over and some insisted we teach Bible to our Muslim students in English class and the Council stopped our funding. Still went sometimes till recent. My 92 year old go to church buddy lived 5 minutes away but we walk so slow it took an hour. She died April and I haven't been since.

The congregation in my church has transitioned from mixed to mostly African migrants now, so belief has grown in importance, unfortunately, though I confess no one is compelling me. Just that the work bit has been displaced and I'm bored singing the same hymns and waiting for God to bless us. I sometimes wish I could just fake the belief and wake them up but they mostly old people now as the congregation has dwindled over the years. I never miss the barbecue in July though.

You get to know lots of bishops and vicars who are Atheists when you move around in the CofE like I did. Hardly any would do Adam and Eve but they keep silent because of the many vicars who don't Darwin. Most are silent about it, but an eye wink over a pint often loosens. They take joy in they kicked it out of schools and socials so their kids are not infected. I find most today would rather pub than God.

The Kemi effect is making conserved people open up and talk more about how they see God, and that conversation is rejuvenating the Conservatives, is what I think. Regardless, no politician has campaigned in the name of a book that King James wrote for over a century I'd bet, despite it appearing in every ceremonial we do. We are most definitely not the USA where doing God is concerned, that's for sure.

I don't think I've ever over generalised and opinionated from a cursory view this much. Do beware!

I'm adding the below so you can imagine how the English must have felt when King James wrote his own Bible. I bet its how you'd feel when dump writes his.
Interesting read. There's so much in this post. You really met bishops and vicars who were atheists?
Would ask more questions, but also weary because we are in this immature middle school we call a thread.

I consider myself Catholic, but like you found the church getting older and less relatable so wandered to a Nigerian non denominational church and regretted it once I met prosperity preaching.

But, again very interesting. Thanks for that perspective from the other side of the pond.

Imagine the type of person who calls someone else a terrorist or says they love terrorists because they can't win an argument because their ability to reason is weak.

I think society tolerates weak immoral people like that too much.
A man like Rogers and even Dayo who can ferment this type of bigotry and hate has no business around polite company and especially leadership.

I assumed you'd beware of my intentional generalisation. Of course not every church is Bakker and Phelps or Walter Rauschenbusch. Still, and to be honest, I actually meant those maga who worship dump.


Kemi really isn't a contradiction, but a Conservative conundrum. Many Brits, I'd say, of all parties, are traditional Church of England, which lacks belief, and which they conserve to do social good in the community. It's core are the owners of the land, the church and the aristocracy and the King, to whom a whole Mighty God crowned King James to rule and subdue and multiply and be blessed, a privilege intended to be conserved until Kingdom Come. Like USA though we have as many churches with as much diversity which I'm certain would include a Redeem and Cele, but most Brits don't do gods, period because the shops are shut and Man U is playing City and we need time to get to the pub.

These will interest you.

Please, I am over generalising from cursory observation and not from some detailed study, though for past 25 years or so I've taken my uber-atheist self to church every Sunday for first 12 to observe by participating.
I didn't know not being outwardly religious as a politicain was a thing in the UK, given how common/ingrained it is in the US.

Hard not to be welcoming in church when most churches are propped up by the tithes of migrants as the natives have mostly gone post-christianity and become secularised unbelievers.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jun/03/church-attendance-propped-immigrants-study

Our King has elevated himself from 'defender of the faith' to "Defender of Faiths", and the traditional "Conservative Party at prayer" is now led by Kemi Badenoch who does not identify as a practicing Christian and has stated that she no longer believes in God, identifying instead as agnostic and a "cultural Christian".

One must be aware that religion constantly shifts in UK, and Christianity does not mean the same thing to all. We definitely do not practise what we call American Christianity, and we've even banned some of your preachers from preaching their hatred here.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25889828

P.s. The AI is just to suggest deeper research, note.
1.) The article wasn't about leadership but people who go to church.
I think the message of welcoming was one of Jesus' core messages.

Matthew 25:35-40 NIV
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
2.) When you say American Church, you seem to be referring to the White Evangelical Protestants which largely supports Republcians.
The American church isn't a monolith.
I grew up in the church, still very active. The White Evangelical Church doesn't sound like nor represent the Christianity I learned and grew up around.
It actually repulses me.

3.) Interesting, I didn't realize Christianity and Conservatives had evolved in that way.
Conservatives in the UK esp. Kemi seem like a contradiction.
