Every side with weapons in Syria are evil, Asad killed innocent people opposing his regime, people fighting him are doing the same. What's happening in Syria is alarming and I haven't heard PIM from those virtue signalling celebrities. No Israel to blame |

basilico:Stop posting conspiracies, man. The assassination attempt was staged. The blood was fake. Nobody died. The FBI don't have any info on the assailant. Trump just used it to gain traction. |

Maeve7:Pardon 😂 There is no fraud or scam, Canada is just trying to hurt his business. Transport Canada has stated that there’s no rule against Tesla submitting rebate paperwork in bulk after sold cars are delivered. Also, people may be scrambling to get their tesla cars on discount in that country before the program ends. |

bemeruca:Israel supports the current regime is it not? The very same arguments that defend Israel can be used for any other nation. That's why it is good to condemn it in its entirety. Same Andrew Tate - Florida issue. What's bad is bad. |

Android17:Israel does not support the current regime, in fact, they know these guys are bad news which is why they destroyed a lot of machines from the previous regime and created a buffer zone in Syria to protect their border. |

Android17: ![]() Saw this on some X thread. Trump teargassed peaceful BLM/anifa who had injured 50 park policemen during the summer of love protests in 2020. Reporting on the decision to remove the massive “Black Lives Matter” mural from a street near the White House, USA Today claims that BLM “protesters” were “forcibly removed from the area with smoke canisters” in 2020 so Trump could “pose for photographs at a nearby church.” IN FACT, that widespread narrative is entirely false. Here are the facts: • On June 1, 2020, the U.S. Park Police and the DC Police Department dispersed a violent “Black Lives Matter” protest near the White House. • Shortly thereafter, Donald Trump walked to a church in the area of the cleared protest and highlighted the damage that the protestors had done to the church. • Soon after that on the same day, many Democrats and media outlets alleged that Donald Trump ordered federal troops to “tear-gas peaceful protestors for a photo op.” Here are 6 prime examples among many: 1) Senator Elizabeth Warren claimed, “The President of the United States tear-gassed peaceful protestors in order to clear the way for a useless photo-op outside the White House.” 2) Senator Kamala Harris alleged, “Donald Trump just tear-gassed peaceful protesters for a photo op.” 3) New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared that Trump “used the military to push out a peaceful protest so he could have a photo op at a church.” 4) NPR reported that “U.S. Park Police and National Guard troops” used “tear gas” against “people nonviolently protesting police brutality” to “clear way” for a “Trump church photo-op.” 5) A New York Times headline stated, “Protesters Dispersed With Tear Gas So Trump Could Pose at Church.” 6) A headline on Slate proclaimed, “Peaceful Protesters Tear-Gassed and Beaten Outside White House to Clear Space for a Trump Photo-Op.” • Within 4 days, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser had “Black Lives Matter” painted in giant yellow letters on the street near the protest and announced that she was renaming the area to “Black Lives Matter Plaza.” • Two months later, Bowser took the stage at the DNC Convention and boasted that she created “Black Lives Matter Plaza” because Donald Trump deployed “troops” and “tear gas” against people who “peacefully protested the death of George Floyd.” • Ten months later in June 2021, the Inspector General of the Department of the Interior released the results of an investigation which found that all 4 elements of the allegations against Trump were false: 1) The investigation found that the protestors were not peaceful but had injured “at least 49” Park Police officers, “vandalized” “federal and private property,” wore “ballistic vests,” were “carrying baseball bats,” and “threw projectiles like rocks.” 2) The investigation found that the Park Police “did not use CS gas” (i.e., tear gas) to clear the protestors. 3) The investigation found that the DC Police Department—which was under the authority of Mayor Bowser—used tear gas in the area without “the control or direction” of the Park Police. 4) The investigation found that the Park Police “did not know about” Trump’s visit to the area until “hours after it had begun developing its operational plan” to stop the violent protestors and the “fencing contractor had arrived in the park.” • Even after the results of the investigation were released, Bowser campaigned for reelection in 2022 with a mailer that stated, “When Trump sent federal officers to the streets of DC to stop peaceful protestors, Muriel painted BLACK LIVES MATTER across 16 Street NW to send a bold message.” Bottom line: The protestors were far from peaceful, they were removed because they were violent, the timing had nothing to do with Trump, and it was Bowser’s DC Police who deployed the teargas. Yet, Bowser, leading Democrats, and the media blamed Trump for all of this. Hyperlinks to the primary sources of all the facts above are available at https://www.justfactsdaily.com/in-fact/n0000457 |

bemeruca:Assad enemies were funded by Obama ,Turkey , Qatar and other Sunni countries His was a political survival war and a religious war at the same time When ISIS defeated Al Nusra and others they imposed Sharia. . Assad being in power protected the Shia Alawite s Christians and the Druze too from the jihadists. He was a stooge of the Shia Iran. The Kurds armed themselves and became autonomous.. When the hezbolah were decimated by IDF in the final days Turkey armed and supported the HTS which is really no different than ISIS. Only that they are under Turkey , they will not implement strict sharia laws. Erdogan main target is the Kurds, he will use HTS to finish them off politically and militarily. In the meantime the jihadists are after finishing off the Shia Alawite, Christians be damned also. Then they will turn on Kurds in the north West and north east. Unless they are called out right now by the West. It's a religious and political war. HTS and Taliban are Siamese twins. Macron should be telling them off not inviting them to Paris. They will lie to him, their goals are more religious than political. When ISIS attacked Kobane Kurds , Erdogan just sealed the border with his tanks and watched ISIS attempt to exterminate the Kurds. Fortunately Kobane got help and beat the terrorists back. |

cococandy:A Ponzi scheme is a In response to Elon Musk calling Social Security the “biggest Ponzi scheme of all time,” U.S. Senator Patty Murray claims that SS “is not a Ponzi scheme” but “a promise that every American pays into so they can retire with dignity.” IN FACT, if a private corporation operated a pension system structured like SS, it would be illegal under laws that prohibit Ponzi schemes. Here are the facts: • Per the SEC, a Ponzi scheme “pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors.” • Contrary to a popular myth, SS doesn’t save people’s money but pays benefits mainly by taxing people who are currently working. • Per the National Academy of Social Insurance, SS is “largely a pay-as-you-go program” in which “today’s workers” pay money that “flows back out as monthly income to beneficiaries.” • Per the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, “federal law requires that private pension plans operate as funded plans, not as pay-as-you-go plans.” • Per the American Academy of Actuaries, federal law bans pay-as-you-go pension plans in the private sector to increase “benefit security” and ensure “intergenerational equity.” • Like a Ponzi scheme, SS has levied multiplicatively higher tax burdens on succeeding generations of Americans, thus creating severe generational inequality. • Politicians enacted SS with an explicit promise that “the most you will ever pay” in taxes is “3 cents on each dollar you earn, up to $3,000 a year.” Adjusted for inflation, the maximum SS payroll tax is now 9.1 times that amount, and SS imposes other taxes to fund the program. • For workers who earned average wages and retired at the age of 65 in 1980, it took 2.8 years of receiving old-age benefits to recover the value of their payroll taxes (including interest). For workers who retired in 2003, it took 17.4 years. For workers who retired in 2020, it will take 21.6 years. This assumes that SS has enough money to pay scheduled benefits for the entire period, which it is not projected to have. • Despite multiplicative tax increases, SS is due to become insolvent in 2035. • To put SS on the same financial footing as a fully funded pension plan, every person who currently pays SS payroll taxes would have to contribute an additional $272,237. • Contrary to other popular myths, the SS Trust Fund hasn’t been looted, Trust Fund operations have not changed in any meaningful way, and no money has been diverted from SS to the SSI program. |

bemeruca:- Assad's and subsequently Syria's collapse was facilitated by Israel - Netanyahu basically said. - many UN reports from 2015 all reported Israel was in cahoots with ISIS and Syrian rebels. - Israel backed the rebels - Gadi Eisenkot admitted in 2019 that Israel supplied weapons to Syrian rebels. Present day, we can see that the actions of the rebels favor Israel. Netanyahu congratulated them. Whatever restrictions he is giving to them is ultimately to protect his country. Feeding a crocodile hoping it will eat you last. Can you extricate Jolani's mission from Israel's? I mean, we need to stop employing these double standards. |

basilico:Your friend above just referred to us (Muslims) as pigs, and here you are using an anti-Chinese slur to insinuate that anyone that comes from China should be suspected of espionage. Perhaps you think they should all be rounded up and caged like what was done to Japanese immigrants in the 40s. I wonder what you'd be saying about Africans if you weren't black. When it is convenient, you say people should only be judged by their individual characters and experiences. |

Crayfish09:Anywhere Islam gain significant numbers or take power in government, the culture that was there will start to go extinct. When this does not happen is when their leader is a bit secular like sadam and Assad.

Android17:Israel mortal enemy is the Iran. Hezbollah is a shia sect , funded by Iran..Unlike other ME Iranians are advanced technologically and they are ruled by Ayatollahs who threaten Israel every Friday. The little Satan and America the big Satan. In their Jew hatred they sponsor Hamas militarily and financially. Israel worst threat is Hezbollah with their hundreds of thousands of missiles aimed at them. ISIS was after a caliphate, not a direct threat to Israel because they are aware of what IDF can do Israel was in a rock and hard place. They don't want Assad because iran props him up ISIS, HTS, Al Nusra, Al Qaeda hate Israel but are careful not to go into direct confrontation with IDF. Reason. Israelis know the hatred is not about land. Land is just the excuse which infuriates them. I'll leave it at that. IDF would not arm those terrorist groups , who after prevailing would have come for Jerusalem. ISIS was fighting a direct war of conquest not asymmetrical wars. Israelis know Arabic Iran seeks to dominate the middle east, arming every proxy group to fight on its behalf. It's a more bigger threat than the HTS jihadists for now Assad kept the peace with Israel, at the same time Iran weapons to Lebanon were mostly routed through Damascus. Let me add, What Arabs tell you in English is different from what they say to each other in Arabic. Most Israelis know Arabic, I think it's mandatory in many Hebrew schools. In Arabic they proudly say what they want.. |

Never a time this islanist kill en mass you will see protest. When isis was causing havoc, we have doctors in the UK leaving their jobs to join them, no protest but when Israel fights back they took to the streets waving terrorists flags |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Crayfish09: 11:58pm On Mar 08, 2025 |
bemeruca:Serious issues, you say. I don't want us to dabble into a numbers game but even between 1945 and today, your ideal cultures have killed far more civilians than any Muslim terrorist can ever hope to match. Take for example, most estimates place Boko Haram's death toll at 40,000 — the same number of all gun related deaths in USA, 2023 and the same number of civilians killed by Israel. If we are talking about religious killings, Islam is the worst. Even I cannot deny it but if even 5% of us were they way bigots like you make us out to be, the whole world would have had to gang up and exterminate us all. |

bemeruca:Like a typical bigot, you listen to one or two accounts and make hasty generalizations. What if I told you that Senegal which has a 97% Muslim population currently has a Christian president? How about Indonesia and Lebanon? Even Iran and Afghanistan wouldn't have become what they are today if 'someone' hadn't decided it was a good idea to topple their elected governments and arm extremists there. Syria is following the same path currently. That said, I admit that Islam has a problem that needs to be looked into. The problem with this kind of argument is that we will keep going back and forth for pages upon pages until one of us gives up, thereby giving the other party a false sense of victory. Go on and continue being a religious bigot and a racist like your demigod at the white house. |

Crayfish09:Even in Israel, the Muslim population is rising. But other religion or culture go extinct in Muslim majority or governed states. Ask yourself why all those Christian nations like Iraq, Egypt etc turn to Muslim nations? Did they like Islam and convert or they were forced to and killed? If you practice the wrong Islam you are in trouble too. Which is why Saudi Arabia seeks protection from US and Israel. Why can't they allow God to judge other religion? Like Christians you can preach and talk about damnation if people don't accept your god but don't go around killing people for your god, even if they insult your god if you believe he is all powerful then let your god deal with the one that insult him. The hunger for blood in your religion and how others keep quiet and don't snitch on others plotting is why I think everyone not taking to the street to protest this as they do the very next day after Israel was attacked. Not even when the retaliation started... I say they are all complicit |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by bemeruca: 12:35am On Mar 09, 2025 |
Crayfish09:Islamophobe too. No one calls Muslims bigots but they won't allow you practices your religion freely especially in a place like Saudi Arabia. No word comparable to islamophobe is used to describe them. It's one when you worry about them coming to your country and tell you they will make it like other islamic country where you are not free to live your life like you want you will be called islamophobe or a bigot. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Crayfish09: 12:56am On Mar 09, 2025 |
bemeruca:You should read my last reply to Basilica as I'm getting bored of this already. However, you should know that Muslims have a much higher birth rate than other religions. It's for the same reason Islam is the fastest rising religion in the world even though very few are converting. You should also research more about the Middle East rather than dropping reckless claims. The biggest factor keeping Saudi Arabia aligned with USA is the internal rift within the Al-Saud family. It's a far bigger issue to the ruling tree than any threat Iran has to offer. Of course money is another significant incentive. You obviously have a lot to learn about Christianity, as your statement is only valid in contemporary times. And you say we don't snitch because we lust for blood, but the vast majority of Islamist terrorists' victims are other Muslims. I have personally lost 12 relatives in Borno to Boko Haram but if you somehow think I support them because I crave the ironic scent of blood, then I have to say. And as a final note, I apologize on behalf of the world for not treating ISIS the way we treat Israel for doing exactly the same thing 😂 |

Crayfish09:I stated right at first that most spies are usually miigrants with ties to their homeland.Those that encourage immigration don't like being reminded of that curious coincidence. I have not singled out the Chinese.at all. Jonathan Pollard an intelligence analyst was Jewish. Don't put words in my mouth . Thosr who encourage immigration also don't like being reminded that most terror attacks are carried out by people with immigration history ,and I can as well add religion now that you have gone there. Just like you are doing you band around figures to prove immigrants are not as dangerous as say white supremacists. Take the case of gun violence , figures are hidden for black on black crimes. Transgender attacker manifesto is not released publicly . If you understood me,you'd have noticed I was poking daggers at wholesome political correctness . If you want to catch Muslim terrorists don't waste time soaking up FB, Gmail,telegram, IG, etc data then ,using LLM to analyze. Simple. Find out which preachers are justifying violence,find out who spends more time with those preachers like Anwar Alwaki. Or that British Anjem Choudiary.IDF is not stupid to bomb mosques, preventing large gatherings listening to a semi illiterate who has only studied Arabic and Quran all his life. |

basilico:Stacey Abrams registered an NGO. Within a few months she got $ 1.9 billion from EPA. At that time her NGO had a massive $100 in the bank. Yes 160,000 ₦ She had previously bought more efficient electric home equipment for a very small community They were able to cut their power bills by a large amount. With that experience , EPA granted them funds to repeat the same but now on a much bigger scale. Nationally. EPA buying domestic appliances to save energy. What can go wrong? Making it worse, the grant was awarded just before the election, so it was a democrat campaign trick . Fortunately DOE froze the money at Citibank where it had been parked for onwards transmission to Stacey and others.
