So Dearborn mayor before the election was on Twitter posting about Gaza almost daily. He now hasn't posted anything in over two weeks. The Hamasholes got what they wanted. It was all an op to get Trump elected. 

I think part of it is shock still.  Hamtramck's mayor just said he still supports Trump the other day.  I suspect they hope/think Trump saying what he's saying about Gaza is not going to be pursued.

It's textbook "sunk cost fallacy"... it's hard to admit when you're wrong.

They were so blinded with rage that they were voting to punish Biden. They weren't voting in the best interests of Palestine. Palestinians wanted Harris to win.

Not the same at all and I doubt Romad is claiming it's identical.  But as a conservative to a conservative, I would gather that at least pre-Trump, you of all people would have been more likely to side with a statement that says there is no room for celebrating violence of any sort, even if you're not actually committing violence.  

Cubicle Rom made the comparison. J6, where no one died is the same as killing babies in Israel.

And for many of the elected leaders... they still have a problem voting for a woman.  They saw Trump as a "strong" person (Man) and that overrode any feelings they expressed over Gaza.  They used Gaza as a smokescreen.  In many circles in that community it's still a very patriarchal way of life.   Less so with the Lebanese.

Bierut in the post WWII era was a very cosmopolitan place, but the rise of Arab nationalism, Islamic fundamentalism and the polarization over the constant Israeli/Arab warring combined to not only destroy Lebanon, but also drive out most of the people that had made it the place it was. There were large emigration waves of Lebanese Christians to the US and Europe first, and then later more western leading Muslim Lebanese who had no use for where things were going.

and of course so many GOP reps are saying they are confirming this cavalcade of trash because of the threats of violence they are getting.  So, it wasnt for nothing that the J6 people were freed to do more threats to lawmakers.

No matter how many times you say no one died, everyone knows people died. That history revisionism **** don’t play here.

Most if not all of the people who voted for President Trump still support him.  He is doing what he said he would do and they are getting good results.  It's the far left liberals like yourself that claim the sky is falling because that is what your political party including mainstream media want you to think. The US political system was full of corruption and waste and needed big changes. It's refreshing to see it happening.

Ewsieg - the far left liberal 

[oblong]

LOL at calling him “the far left”.

Now it’s even more full of corruption, so congrats on that I guess

It’s a circus because we allow morons like yourself that don’t believe our country is great and think the Constitution on which it’s founded has no meaning.    Keep on supporting Russia and what they stand for while foolishly thinking that left leaning Americans are your enemy!  

****ing idiots!

How is the political forum going today? 

[Archie]

It looks like this forum is unmoderated now.  Intelligent people can debate and have conversation but name calling says a lot about a person. You all have fun worrying about your pronouns while Americans will take pride in fixing the country.  Someone should send your leader David Hogg an invite to this forum.  He would fit in here.

Imagine thinking Donald Trump is going to clean up corruption and waste.  LOL, his whole life has been corruption and waste.  

[mtutiger]

Ewsieg is about the closest thing to a moderate independent type voter this forum has... He leans more right than left if anything.

If you're a conservative political movement and are disparaging someone like him, that's... Not great. Particularly in off year or midterm type elections, and particularly when Trump himself isn't on the ballot

You know as much about being an intelligent person as you do the Constitution of your own country.

We're currently being led by a guy whose favorite past time is name calling. And a guy *you* voted for.

So please spare us your high minded talk about civilized debate and decorum... It's a load of horse****
