It doesn't need a Mr. Know it all to see why this comment of yours is personal. "How about sticking with your own countries politics instead of putting your nose where it doesn’t belong." In fact even a Mr. Know Very Little should be able to see why. I'll try to keep the explanation short and sweet for you. Borders have nothing to do with one's knowledge or ignorance. Chomper Higgot's nationality is utterly irrelevant. Attacking him for that rather than for his statements is blatantly personal. Sad you don't seem to understand that.

I have no doubt that you wouldn't. The question is whether you have any rational justifications for that stance. So far, you have offered nothing but a misleadingly truncated quote and borrowed insults. Which suggests that in the way of rational support for your position, you've got nothing

Now you've descended into irrationality and borrowed insults. An understandable, if pitiable, reaction to having your blatant dishonesty exposed. Here is your excerpted quote "Anyone like you" And here it is in its entirety. "Anyone like you who believes that prognostications about political outcomes can be factual must either believe in time travel or the infallibility of crystal balls. Any source that asserts such an outcome is a future fact is inherently not credible. Making a prediction is inherently a matter of opinion."

I don't think it's valid to go after someone's opinions based on where they live or hail from. Knowledge and ignorance are not bounded by borders. That said, I'm surprised that someone who has made so much of their Britishness and their believe that it automatically confers some kind of special superiority in discussion of that nation's politics, would so openly expose his ignorance of the American political scene. Here are 2 names for you to contemplate: Gretchen Whitmer, the popular Democratic governor of the swing state of Michigan. Josh Shapiro, the popular Democratic governor of the swing state of Pennsylvania.

More falsehoods from you: Does an Image Show Ocasio-Cortez Fake-Crying at a Migrant Camp? A picture taken in 2018 captured Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, before she was elected to the U.S. House, protesting a migrant-detention camp in Texas. "But the claim that got the most attention, pushed by viral conspiracy and junk news websites, made unfounded accusations that the photographs of Ocasio-Cortez were fake and that she was actually crying over an empty parking lot. Russian state media outlet RT and ZeroHedge were among junk news sites taking a cue from Alex Jones' InfoWars network in that regard. The latter posted an unfounded story on June 24, 2019, that posited the "empty parking lot" conspiracy theory." https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/aoc-empty-parking-lot/

The post was typically one sided. A one sidedness that exposes the credulity of its author.

Thanks for the support. In both cases they cite the Israeli attack on the consulate as being a provocation.

How could they be so blind? It's like someone who ignores the fact that the US has repeatedly reproached Israel for obstructing delivery of aid to the Palestinians in Gaza. Like someone who doesn't challenge the IDF and Cogat when it comes to this issue. I know, I know. I'm creating a fictional character. Nobody could be that naive.

And you still haven't addressed the fact that Israel attacked Iran's consulate. You must believe that the Israeli government is very naive not to believe that this would have invited a counterstrike from Iran.

Well, we should all be grateful to Trump supporters like Carol Swain. Instead of donating that money to his campaign where it might materially help him, they chose to incinerate it instead.

G_Money's comment was just another airheaded attempt to make it personal.

Apparently, you're only interested enough to make irrelevant comments but not interested enough to engage with the actual issue.

More empty personal comments. You've got nothing.

What you don't seem to understand the role of the upside potential of a stock plays. Given the price of the stock on the first day, and the fact that its model was already failing with exiguous income and lowered engagement, why would any rational person buy and hold on that stock.? Did you know that for all of 2023, Truth Social earned only about 50% more revenue than an average McDonald's? How Much McDonald's Franchise Owners Really Make Per Year "According to Business Insider, the average McDonald's restaurant takes in around $2.7 million a year in sales." https://www.mashed.com/178309/how-much-mcdonalds-franchise-owners-really-make-per-year/ But then, McDonald's doesn't stuff their offerings with BS.

And yet, despite all that discussion, you dismissed that point in this thread.

Off topic? The Israeli attack on the Iranian Consulate is off topic? How exactly does that work? If it had been an Israeli consulate that had been attacked by Iran, would Israel have not counterattacked? UN chief criticizes strike on Iranian consulate, warns against ‘further escalation’ UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned on Tuesday a strike on an Iranian consular annex building in Damascus a day earlier, his spokesman said, after the attack — which Tehran has blamed on Israel — killed at least 13 people, including seven members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. “The secretary-general reaffirms that the principle of the inviolability of diplomatic and consular premises and personnel must be respected in all cases in accordance with international law,” spokesman Stephane Dujarric said. Guterres called on “all concerned to exercise utmost restraint and avoid further escalation,” his spokesperson added in a statement. https://www.timesofisrael.com/un-chief-criticizes-strike-on-iranian-consulate-warns-against-further-escalation/

I'm sure he is deeply, deeply concerned. After all, it was written by Douglas MacKinnon. "Douglas MacKinnon, a former aide to President Ronald Reagan, said on Tuesday that Southern states should break with the U.S. and form their own nation based on values like opposition to homosexuality, and that his former boss would be the perfect namesake. “For whatever reason the leaders that we’re picking are deciding not to stand firmly for traditional values,” MacKinnon told radio host Janet Mefferd. MacKinnon is currently promoting a book, “The Secessionist States of America: The Blueprint for Creating a Traditional Values Country … Now.” https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/conservative-author-wants-states-secede-over-gay-rights-msna443226

If anyone is living in denial, it's folks like you who can't face reality and acknowledge that the investigation has failed utterly.

You know, if you were citing most political leaders, I would have pointed out to you that putting lipstick on a pig is par for the course. But given that Benjamin Netanyahu is recognized far and wide for his moral probity and willingness to acknowledge his errors and failures no matter how gravely they might damage his political prospects, it's clear that in this case you have made an excellent point. In opposite world.

Misleadingly editing a quote much? You've got nothing.

Might need a bathyscaphe to determine that. Trump Media stock price At close on April 16, Trump Media & Technology Group Corp share price fell to $22.84, down 14.17% today.

Anyone like you who believes that prognostications about political outcomes can be factual must either believe in time travel or the infallibility of crystal balls. Any source that asserts such an outcome is a future fact is inherently not credible. Making a prediction is inherently a matter of opinion.

This article should be required reading for anyone planning to purchase stock in Truth Social Trump Media's First Auditor Quit Months After Being Appointed https://archive.ph/lDhYT The auditor who replaced them are basically sleazeballs.

You think that a quote from a politically biased source is authoritative?

Not only is that quote from a biased source, but if you actually think about what Kirby said, while it may be possible, nowhere does Kirby specify what it would take to accomplish that. Does Israel actually command the resources or the will to do it? Its economy was already severely hurt by just a few months of massive warfare. You seem to unreservedly believe that Israel has mostly withdrawn from Gaza as part of its strategy for victory. No scepticism at all on your part about that claim?
