Mo Brooks Expresses Sympathy For Another Terrorist
This is what that "worthy" had to say about today's bomb threat at the Library of Congress:
Imagine, if you will, that after one of the arrests of a moronic Muslim back when the FBI was setting up all of those entrapment stings, a prominent Democrat said something along the lines of "I understand citizen anger against American Imperialism"... the Right would have lost their collective minds.
But, as we all know, things have been different for a very long time when the terrorists are right-wing white people.

"American Imperialism" isn't Socialism in America.
I like how you conflate the two.
Well, we don't have Civics education any more, maybe because we have so little agency or ownership of our government....but maybe we should still educate people in how to read maps and get to where you want to go? Or maybe this clueless idiot did mean to threaten the LoC because of all the knowledge and facts therein?
I bumped into a Trump supporter yesterday, a nice, well-collected middle aged woman and finally got it, finally understood how they can so fervently and angrily believe as they do.
I've long seen reason as a weak reed for understanding, understood that it's more often window dressing for beliefs and is only rarely used to test and correct them.
OK....but what I finally, finally, got was the world view thing: This nice lady lives in a different world, with different 'facts', different reasoning constructs that channel how sees and interprets everything. She lives in a world apart from mine.
I guess we all do...and some of us try to peel back the surface and understand more deeply. Of course, that can lead to conspiracy fever dreams as well as an understanding of how we are pawns being played by the Lucys of the world with their footballs
Actually, some (several) one(s) spoke out about chickens coming home to roost.
Didn't turn out so well for them ...
B, you're being deliberately obtuse. I most assuredly did not conflate the two.
Which means, in short, you don't have an argument to make.
Lets look at the real issues, not the sideshows that Queen Nancy of Ice Cream pushes out to the MSM. From Larry C:
They left the British hanging. UK officials confirm that their military was in the dark about the plans, and we just left our closest, long term historical allies dangling in the wind. Then Biden avoided Boris Johnson's call for 36 hours (and apparently he was the FIRST world leader Biden finally talked to). Remember when you waxed on and on about how great it would be to have the rest of the world respect us again? Because the rest of us remember exactly what you smug fucks said.
Surely you weren't that stupid. It was pretty obvious the guy wasn't up to the task, but you did it anyway. So now the world will pay for your wishful thinking. The media knew. They covered for him. Big tech knew. They covered for him too. And then when the rest of us talked about the multitude of warnings signs, the history, the corruption, the lies, the bribes, the baffling weird shit that came out of his mouth, and all those obvious red flags that this was going to be a clown show, so we'd rather vote for the uncouth asshole because at least he'd not set the world on fire, you booted us off the internet.
...
And motherfucking Lloyd Austin has the unmitigated gall to sit there on TV saying that America doesn't have the capability to secure a fucking airport, while General Miley is sitting there wearing a fucking RANGER TAB. That sort of thing is why the Rangers exist. Meanwhile the French and a bunch of contractors are running Mad Max convoys through Kabul trying get their people out.
Mew mew mew, but Trump said mean things that upset communist fucking China and various candy ass left wing world leaders. Oh no, however would America survive without the goodwill of Justin fucking Tradeau? It's so much better to have our military too focused on gender studies, climate change, and woke bullshit about rooting out extremists (i.e. half of America) than doing stuff like not leaving allied troops at the mercy of a bunch of barbarian goat rapists.
Gee, Gromit, more GOP-pablum, eh?
Funny how you guys on the Right have forgotten that it was Trump that negotiated directly with the Taliban. Trump wanted to have the troops all out by Xmas of last year. Then he agreed with the Taliban to have them out by May of this year.
Biden's execution of the withdrawal was botched. But the bottom line is that he lived up to the deal Trump made.
The bottom line is Biden did not have to live up to the Trump deal. He spent the first 3 months cancelling all of Trumps progress - rejoined the Paris climate accord, waived sanctions on Iran in an attempt to restart the Iran nuclear deal, reversed Trump’s ban on transgender people in the military and tossed the Mexico City policy to restart funding of international organizations that promote or provide abortions, reversed several extremely effective policies Trump adopted to address the border crisis, including Trump’s decision to use Title 42 authority to expel aliens to Mexico or their country of origin, given the public health crisis presented by COVID-19.
Further, even if leaving now is in our country’s best interests, Biden bears full responsibility for his failed execution of the withdrawal. Under Biden’s command, the Taliban reportedly seized hundreds of U.S. Humvees, Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, and several million-dollar U.S. drones.

So where is hidin Biden now? Holed up somewhere, not taking questions, doing the bidding of his handlers. And you still support this guy, just because no mean tweets?
Your pablum in every post is full of holes. You want me to get vaccinated, but won't say jack out the open border and no vaccinations for the illegals. How does that make any sense?
And it's not gop pablum. It's the uniparty that is the problem. You just can't see it, or else you want the USA to collapse with your divisive diatribes.
Gromit, is Wallace there? We'd rather talk to him. You do know that the Russian asset trump paid off the Afghan military to instantly collapse, don't you. It's the art of the treasonous deal. That might have been one reason the airport could not be secured. We'll send trump over to England so he can be your new PM. Enjoy.
Jim, agreements between nations should mean something. If the word of the United States counts for nothing, as you seem to think it does, then what is the point of negotiating anything?
Bueler? Bueler?
Agreements between nations? What are you talking about? This fiasco falls squarely on Biden.
Stop denying it.
Jim, denying the truth, swallowing the Big Lie, is a GOP/Trumpist thing these days. In your earlier comment, you conflated changing domestic policy (which every president changes) to ripping up agreements with other parties. Your argument is factually invalid.
Beyond that, with you acceptance of tearing up agreements, I can only presume that your personal word isn’t worth a bucket of warm shit.
From Susie Madrak's blog:

Bomber: I did it for Trump
Media: It is a mysterious mystery
Bomber: Nope, definitely trying to reinstate Trump
Media: We may never know why
Bomber: Hi, President Biden? Resign and reinstate Trump or I blow up. This is my sole demand.
Media: Questions abound, answers elusive

Actually, you did conflate the two.
And your arguments against "jim" are specious.
The withdrawal was already gonna happen, but the execution of Biden's folks was absolutely criminal in it's ineptness. Fer Chrissakes, even Jimmah Carter thinks so. And that man was the epitome of ineptitude. Failing to inform our allies in Afghanistan was criminal.
You claim that agreements between nations "mean something"...but apparently only when it matters to Liberal Causes...other wise you seem to accept (and agree) when those agreements are broken.
Examples of treaties shitcanned by Democratic presidents. For your guy, we have the Paris Accord, the Iranian Nuclear Deal, and his failed attempted to rip up NATO.
But your loyalty to Trump is admirable. Misplaced, but admirable.
Paris and the IND are not treaties of the sort ratified by the Senate, are they?
0_0, you will find this informative
https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-paris-climate-agreement-unconstitutional-1563552
"Under U.S. law, a treaty is specifically a legally binding agreement between countries that requires ratification and the 'advice and consent' of the Senate. All other agreements (treaties in the international sense) are called Executive Agreements, but are nonetheless legally binding for the U.S. under international law," according to PHE.gov.
President Barack Obama exercised his executive power when he entered the Paris Agreement, signing it in August 2016 without ratification from the Senate.
"The authority to negotiate treaties has been assigned to the President alone as part of a general authority to control diplomatic communications. Thus, since the early Republic, the Clause has not been interpreted to give the Senate a constitutionally mandated role in advising the President before the conclusion of the treaty," according to the Constitution Center.
Funny, how the conservative devotion to tradition and staying within the rules is tossed to the winds when it doesn’t suit their politics.
So that's a "No".
If President Obama can enter an agreement, President Trump can exit that agreement.
0_0, That things would be worse if Biden voided Trump’s agreement doesn’t seem to have entered into your calculations.
Trump was more than happy to take credit for the Afghanistan withdrawal back in June.
