    Richard your post makes multiple claims that I've never heard. Could you reference those please? The 53 terrorist attacks for example.

    The difference is they tried to concentrate on getting down to buisness instead of countless drama based hearings and creating as big as a division in the country as possible.

    This is from 2012,the Heritage foundation was the only ones tracking.

    Figure 9 years later and I would garner to bet nobody took a 9 year vacation from violence,there is a lot more that we do not know about so the number would be higher and in the interest of national security there are proably more that we will never know about.

    https://www.heritage.org/terrorism/r...-war-terrorism

    What other “claims” did I make that you would like more clarity on?

    I have to be carefull with full details that create long posts,some get offended by that.

    Begazi was a tough one,in the military there are a lot of cases of fallen personal on assignment that never receive recognition for different reasons.

    Begazi was private contractors who were paid to do a job weather for god and country or for the adrenaline or money,or continueing to do what they believed in,we Americans have a habit of wanting to help protect others that are unable to protect themselves but there is a high expectation of not walking away should things go south.

    It is one thing with soldiers shooting other soldiers but when you have trained soldiers preying on and slaughtering helpless innocents it is hard to just step aside and let it happen.

    But it still happens,thousands every day.

    There is also an expectation that as an American citizen that has been contracted to protect a US embassy or US ambassador that the US military also has your back.

    We live in fluid and rapidly evolving times under a pile of bureaucratic cover your butt.

    The state department knew that it was a votaile situation and should have had a back up plan,but every situation in the Middle East and in Africa is a votaile situation.

    Has been forever.The problem is with the chain of command that cannot move unless told to because they also have to cover thier butt in case of fall out,they are really not allowed to move based on it would have been the thing to do.

    Somalia in 1979 is no different then it is in 2019 other then the names of Americans that paid the price.I would agree,there are a lot of shithole countries that we have no buisness being in and outside of the stupid compassion aspect we should just allow them to continue to kill each other off as they have for thousands of years.

    But they cannot seem to accomplish that without the whole genocide thing,so here we are,in the name of humanity.

    Check out the movie Red Sea diving resort,true story that involves mossad But happens frequently and nobody knows.

    Pick and choose, you have more than 700 military bases around the world. 2 recent ones in Colombia. All that money spent on death machinery and boosting resentment toward US citizens abroad. All that money to enrich the corporate welfare recipients of the death industry.
    What a waste.

    First clue that this is BULLSHIT? It is sourced from the same folks who said "smoking isn't actually bad for you" and a bunch of other absurd crap that is totally not supported - in any way - by facts.

    My reference to Benghazi was in reply to this:

    The difference is they tried to concentrate on getting down to buisness instead of countless drama based hearings and creating as big as a division in the country as possible.
    My point is countless drama and division is a two way street.

    Republicans have turned it into an art form. Between 2012 and 2016 the Republican controlled Congress conducted seven hearings to just to conclude there was no overt wrongdoing, just room for improvement.

    So there is your opportunity to become famous,go to the FBI,Department of Homeland Security,CIA and the thousands of others that work everyday to keep you safe.

    My guess is you will not because it is easy to just call BS to everything that you do not agree with.

    Simple solution post your research and facts.

    I will be waiting but not holding my breath.

    You already proved it,just read your posts and count how many times your whole counter to a posting,that you do not once again agree with,see how many times your only reply is calling the source that was posted BS.

    Case in point,your last two posts,nothing of substance,do not really care what you call something,you just need to provide back up to your claims.

    Our President sure hasn't had much luck with Scandinavia. Sweden won't release his rapper, Norwegians don't want to come here, and Denmark won't sell Greenland. Only Iceland and Finland are left, but relax, he's got time. Perhaps he can put some trade restrictions on the sales of rakes to Finland, or have Pence rip on Iceland over their abortion policies. The possibilities are endless. I bet he loves to play 'Risk', but only if you agree to use his dice.

    Well, not Trump but Pence:
    [[REYKJAVIK, Iceland) — Iceland’s leader has announced that she will skip U.S. Vice President Mike Pence’s visit to her Nordic nation, opting instead to keep “prior commitments” by attending a trade union conference in Sweden. Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir said that she’s planned for months to give the keynote speech for the Council of Nordic Trade Unions’ annual meeting in Malmo, Sweden, on Sept. 3 — the day before Pence’s arrival. She has no plans to return the following day for his visit.

    When John Lennon said the Beatles were more popular than Jesus, the religious folk nearly lost their minds. They demanded a boycott, had record breaking "parties", etc. This asshole claims to be "the Chosen one", accepts the title "King of Israel" from a conspiracy nut and retweeted that he is "the second coming" all in one day and the Right just nods its collective head and goes along with it. If Obama or Hillary had compared themselves to a saint, they'd have burned down Washington.

    "ignorant Repugnants" Cute. Is that like "basket of deplorables"? You then "guess" his followers just nodded their head in agreement. Guessing isn't going to cut it. The fact remains that in 2016 Trump was chosen and Hillary wasn't.

    My candidate for the religious posturing award is Mayor Buttigieg who gives little religious lessons along the campaign trail.

    Have you seen the tweets today? He said [[I'm paraphrasing) I HEREBY ORDER our great American companies to start looking for alternative locations to China. Can you even imagine the Republican reaction if President Obama said that? Republicans decry the evils of socialism yet here we have a president who thinks he has the authority to control American businesses. It doesn't occur to them that this is the very definition of socialism.

    Republicans did react to Obama

    I have a pen and I am not afraid to use it.
    You can keep your doctor but I am ordering you to sign up for this health plan,and if you cannot afford it,you have to pay a fine or penalty for being poor.

    Of course nobody wants to be tough on China,the dollar they save is more important then thier fellow Americans.

    Would not a president who thinks that he has the authority to dictate to American business be called a .. Dictator ... asking for a friend.

    Did you feel the same way when Talib tried sneaking in the tax against financial institutions in order to pay for a basic wage weather you work or not?

    In case you have not noticed,here you are surrounded by,well, let’s just say,like minded individuals.

    That path is an easy one,all you really have to do is post a daily Trump sucks,Trump is a moron,anybody that agrees with him is also an [[insert something dumb in here).

    It actually involves little thought at all,I am guessing nobody has clicked thier heels three times while repeating he is not my president or in public at least.

    It must not work though because tomorrow morning he will still be your president.

    Did you see that winking smiley? That means I was teasing.

    I try to treat people the way I want to be treated. Consequently I try not to call people names. I think that is especially important in these times when our president sets such a poor example.

    It must not work though because tomorrow morning he will still be your president.
    I've heard a lot of Trump supporters say that and frankly I don't get it. I guess it's a neener neener kind of thing. Whatever. It doesn't make me respect him.

    Lol saying he will still be your president tomorrow is not a neer neer,he actually will be still your president tomorrow.

    That is our choice,we can spend our time and energy saying he is not our president or he sucks or he looks like an orange,but what exactly does that do to improve our daily lives?

    It is the office that is supposed to be respected,not the person that occupies it.

    Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.

    Trump is a moron and that is my contribution.

    Now I will just sit here and wait until he does something else that I can call him out on,o my lord,stop the presses the President just tweeted.

    3/4 of the country are at work,taking care of children,mowing the lawn they could care less about his tweets.

    The rest is indicative of why the Kardashian’s are so popular,people do love thier drama,even if they have to create it.

    I would bet most cannot even name 10 positive things President Trump has done for the country,they will not because they do not care about what is good for the country,just thier individual desires.

    Trump is a moron because I say so,well bless your heart.

    Speaking generally of course

    if the glove does does not fit.

    Have you seen any Russians milling about up in your neck of the woods?
