Where are the MAGATS when it is expected that they would talk?

Shouldn’t there be cries of rigged, corrupt, incompetent, scam, conflicted, never had a chance, witch-hunt and all Biden’s doing?

Why have the MAGATS (rhymes with maggots) been silent?

Chilling ... for the country.

I find it odd that you are so impressed with that, because I can't find anything that could be called "analysis" by Jack himself* there; just his clearly partisan personal opinion. Can you cite your favourite passage, Alexis, so I can see what I have so far missed?

*The "by Jack Marshall" caveat is because I didn't wade through any of the stuff by other pundits that he has included, because I am not ready to give up that much of my life. If it turns out tat the best analysis you have come across is actually by Levin or Turley or Lucas, then why credit Marshall?

The piece expresses a range of analyses and I attributed the piece to Marshall because he put it together.

I find Levin to be extremely accurate within the analysis that he offers. He is as Marshsll says “brilliant” in his field (Constitution, US history). I cannot bear his Zionism but that is another category.

I find it odd that you are so impressed with that.

With what? What you did not bother to read?

With Marshall's analysis.

You said the analysis offered by Jack Marshall was the best you'd come across. I said I found that odd because he hadn't offered any, and you responded by admitting that you didn't mean Marshall's analysis, but instead you meant Levin's. Are you suggesting the confusion there is all of my making, Alexis?

It is entirely possible to be critical of Islam yet supportive of the rights of Muslims to conduct their affairs in their own regions.

Well, it's difficult to be supportive of Muslim males beating females...



...simply because they wanted to feel the sun on their uncovered faces, or may have exposed some ankle flesh at the lower part of the stifling, head-to-toe linen bags they are forced to wear in public.

Likewise, it is difficult to be supportive of Muslim males throwing acid in the faces of little girls...



...simply because one of them refused marriage to an aging Afghan warlord, or other little girls because they simply wanted to go to school.

Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 12:56 pm It is also quite possible to allow them that while holding a position of resisting masses of practitioners of Islam infiltrating Europe (America, Australia, NZ, Canada).

Do you really think it's morally justifiable and fair that Europe and America (and other allies) should resist allowing the masses of practitioners of Islam from infiltrating their territories, even though those western nations (especially America) made the homelands of the practitioners of Islam uninhabitable?

Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 12:56 pm The issue seems to be that US policies and wars initiated supposedly at Israel’s behest have disrupted numerous ME countries and created strife and chaos.

Precisely!

Hence the upsurge in migration of innocent people wanting (needing) to escape the strife and chaos initiated by US policies. This isn't rocket science!

Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 12:56 pm An anti-Israel stance is, realistically, the most rational stance. And as I have been suggesting (because I see no alternative) so is the proposal of a new Palestinian/Israeli state that incorporates all. I cannot visualize an alternative.

Unless the "self-fulfilling prophecy" of some sort of "Armageddon," where both the Israeli Jews and the Palestinian Arabs are completely wiped out so that the impossible to ameliorate mutual hatred between the two groups is removed from the picture,...

...then there is no solution to the problem.

He's joy riding. Some people just don't know when to be concerned for the world. I seem to recall he's the one who thinks war and strife are "heroic opportunities".

The same way anyone knows anything.

The Trump Persecutions are highly publicized acts of corrupting the law for political purposes. The Spirit of the Law has been corrupted by the letter of the law, which is the only way The Spirit of the Law can be corrupted. Change the letters, change the letter of the law. The ripple effects will be indiscriminate as time fades the current players into history. Dark ages seem to have a lifespan of about a thousand years, a time-frame possibly unaffected by the Singularity.

Word salad, Walker. You're not that brilliant.

On the contrary, Gary Childress, you have yet to demonstrate the perceptiveness required to understand, as I'm sure many readers will attest.

I know word salad when I see it, Walker. Been there done that, learned and moved on. Just waiting for you to evolve now.

I think the same of your initial and subsequent comments.

At least we are even in our perception of each other.
