It wasn't a conspiracy theory. Trump did collude with Russia, that's a fact. Don Jr. did hold a meeting with a woman who was and represented herself as acting to provide information that was "part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump", Trump's campaign chairman did give internal polling data to the Russians, and Trump did regularly plan his rally talking points around the information Russia stole and was leaking in coordination with a Trump ally (Roger Stone).
Apparently you never actually read the Mueller Report nor the Horowitz report, so I'll fill you in:

Don Jr. brought the stuff to Trump and Trump said he didn't want to work with Russians, even if there was dirt on Hillary.

There is absolutely nothing tangible as evidence that says Trump gave polling data kmowingly to the Russian government. There IS, however, the Cambridge Analytica scandal, which is how Russia got ahold of polling data. But that was not the Trump Campaign directly giving polling data to the Russian government. Cambridge Analytica illegally sold the data to the Russians and many other governments.

Trump and his campaign also had no idea Roger Stone was regularly communicating with Russia. This is laid out in detail Mueller's report.

If you would just ignore Washington Post and NYTimes and NY Post and Washington Examiner and read these documents yourselves you would have a much better idea of what happened.

There is a reason that Mueller ended his report saying he could not find evidence Trump was colluding with Russia. Because Trump wasn't colluding with Russia. It is a 100% debunked conspiracy theory that had zero evidence to begin with.

yep, he said eliminated when he meant defeated. Then immediately said he was wrong and that he was sorry. Whereas republicans call for violence and then double down on it when called out. 
Sometimes the unconscious mind betrays. Fortunately this congressman corrected himself, but that doesn't mean he changed his mind. He sure hates Trump and wants him eliminated.

most of the country wants him gone. I'm sure some of them would be happy with "eliminated", but most want him to just retire or go to prison. The republicans are the ones who are constantly hyperbolic and calling for violence.

Don Jr. brought the stuff to Trump and Trump said he didn't want to work with Russians, even if there was dirt on Hillary.
This is just made up nonsense. The closest the Mueller report comes to this is quoting Trump's handwritten response to Mueller's questions saying he had no recollection of Don Jr. sharing with him that he was meeting with a Russian official. So in other words, a self denial. Not exactly iron clad.

Meanwhile, the slightest bit of rational scrutiny shows this idea to be downright ridiculous. Don Jr. sent the email confirming the meeting on June 7th. Within hours of that message being sent, Donald Trump announced a "major speech" to take place the following week on the Clintons. And as the report detailed, the meeting was a bust. Coincidentally, the major speech Trump promised never happened.

Trump was obviously informed and ready to coordinate his campaign activity around it. Moreover, Trump has since defended his campaign taking the meeting and said he would have used the information, so not only are you wrong in the facts you're also saying the opposite of what Trump himself said he would do.

There is absolutely nothing tangible as evidence that says Trump gave polling data kmowingly to the Russian government. There IS, however, the Cambridge Analytica scandal, which is how Russia got ahold of polling data. But that was not the Trump Campaign directly giving polling data to the Russian government.
Trump's campaign chairman literally admitted it.

Trump and his campaign also had no idea Roger Stone was regularly communicating with Russia. This is laid out in detail Mueller's report.
It doesn't say they had no idea, it said they had no evidence. Huge difference.

That aside, do you not find it odd that all of these people so closely tied to Donald Trump were regularly in contact with Russian officials? Do you seriously not think Trump had any idea or that this isn't a direct reflection of Trump's leadership and values?

There is a reason that Mueller ended his report saying he could not find evidence Trump was colluding with Russia.
Correct, because they never investigated collusion since there is no legal statute against it. They investigated conspiracy which is a much higher bar. And with that said, the report never said they had no evidence, the report is filled with evidence. What they lacked as the report made clear several times is evidence sufficient to secure a conviction, because that requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt, as it should because that's the rightful standard in a court of law. But this isn't a court of law, this is the court of public opinion so imposing that same standard here is ridiculous and you know that.

If you would just ignore Washington Post and NYTimes and NY Post and Washington Examiner and read these documents yourselves you would have a much better idea of what happened.
You really need to take your own advice.

I’m asking everyone here about the assassination:
Questions:
Was it justified? If so, how and why.
Will there be more?
Does it bother you that Kamala or Walz did not denounce it?

Rights are ultimately justified or nullified by a willingness to use force. If half the country is willing to possibly die to have a fundamental right to Abortion at any time for any reason, that is all the justification needed to enforce that right.

It was not justified, it is a grotesque act taken by a deranged individual.

I hope there will be no more but unfortunately the political discourse in our country right now is very favorable for these kinds of acts to continue, something Trump takes far more responsibility for than any other individual in our country.

Harris and Walz both denounced it, Kamala even called Trump herself afterward.

Can you give an example? I’d like to hear what you mean.
sure. here are some for trump:

- July 2017: During a speech to law enforcement officers in Long Island, New York, Trump seemingly encouraged police officers to be rough with people they were arresting, per ABC News. "Please don't be too nice," he told the audience.

-  October 2018: While speaking at a Montana campaign rally, Trump publicly praised Montana's then-Rep. Greg Gianforte (R) — the state's current governor — for previously assaulting a reporter. "Any guy that can do a body slam, he is my type!" Trump said.

- September 2020: Trump lauded law enforcement officers for killing Michael Forest Reinoehl, a self-described Antifa member suspected of killing a right-wing activist the previous month. "That’s the way it has to be. There has to be retribution," Vox reported.

Other republicans:

In april 2024 Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas suggested that if protesters were in his home state they would have been tossed off the bridge by others.

Here is a quote from Tom Cotton on twitter : "I encourage people who get stuck behind the pro-Hamas mobs blocking traffic: take matters into your own hands to get them out of the way."

Kari lake encouraged her supporters to "strap on a glock" to prepare for the election

I've lost track of the number of prominent republicans who have called for or were predicting a civil war. One example is Republican Georgia state Sen. Colton Moore told bannon's war room podcast that if they didn't pass legislation to shield Trump for being prosecuted for his crimes "Because if we don't, our constituencies are gonna be fighting it in the streets.". When Ohio State senator George lang was introducing JD Vance at a rally he said “I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved,”


This is just a small sample. Republicans use violent rhetoric all the time. They constantly slander anyone who disagrees with them as "communists" and encourage their followers to see anyone who doesn't support them as less than human, especially immigrants.

agreed. same goes for the last one.

I hope there will be no more but unfortunately the political discourse in our country right now is very favorable for these kinds of acts to continue
also agree.

something Trump takes far more responsibility for than any other individual in our country.
disagree. if you dont like the guy you still dont get to shoot him. you cant blame trump for people having TDS, it’s like blaming a victim for being robbed. Perhaps the victim should have done more to avoid the situation, but the robber is nevertheless the one predominantly at fault.

Harris and Walz both denounced it, Kamala even called Trump herself afterward.
I haven’t heard that. I’m not saying i dont believe you. i’m just saying i dont neccesarily believe you. give not a report, but the video of her denouncing it PUBLICLY. I havent seen any video proof that she has denounced it

@HistoryBuff
(examples you gave of Trump being violent and/or calling for violence)

July 2017: During a speech to law enforcement officers in Long Island, New York, Trump seemingly encouraged police officers to be rough with people they were arresting, per ABC News. "Please don't be too nice," he told the audience.
I did research, and you left out the context. He was referring to uprooting the MS13 gang members out of the country, he wanted law enforcement not to “be too nice” to them.  Then, he mentioned police officers making sure that murderers killers don't bang their heads when being shoved into the cop car, he said to not protect them by not avoiding banging their heads. He did not encourage officers to be rough with regular people, he was talking about MS13 and other murderers as well. 

October 2018: While speaking at a Montana campaign rally, Trump publicly praised Montana's then-Rep. Greg Gianforte (R) — the state's current governor — for previously assaulting a reporter. "Any guy that can do a body slam, he is my type!" Trump said.
Also missing context. Trump talked about it for literally 60 seconds, and that was it. I don't know much about Gianforte, but one twisted 60-second clip doesn’t disqualify him to me. Furthermore, Trump didn't commend the situation, he commended his strength. Watch the actual video. Neither of us is particularly knowledgeable on Gianforte’s body slam situation since the available public knowledge is rather limited.

September 2020: Trump lauded law enforcement officers for killing Michael Forest Reinoehl, a self-described Antifa member suspected of killing a right-wing activist the previous month. "That’s the way it has to be. There has to be retribution," Vox reported.
You are proving my point for me. Trump praised the officers for preventing violence. All Antifa members need to be tried, and those found guilty should be deported, jailed, or killed, (if they committed murder themselves) for treason. 

Here is a quote from Tom Cotton on twitter : "I encourage people who get stuck behind the pro-Hamas mobs blocking traffic: take matters into your own hands to get them out of the way."
He did not suggest throwing them off the bridge. He suggested that if they are blocking traffic (which is illegal), then perform the functional equivalent of a citizens arrest and just keep driving.

The simple truth is your Achilles heel, my friend.

Kari lake encouraged her supporters to "strap on a glock" to prepare for the election
Because mainstream democrats (esp. Kamala, who said it before but not tries to avoid it) say they want to confiscate your guns. She is suggesting resistence to violence, not incitement to violence, which you seem the suggest.

One example is Republican Georgia state Sen. Colton Moore told bannon's war room podcast that if they didn't pass legislation to shield Trump for being prosecuted for his crimes "Because if we don't, our constituencies are gonna be fighting it in the streets.".
We just don't want Trump to be prosecuted when running for election. Do it before or if he loses, after. As it says in the constitution, a president shall not be tried for anything other than treason or bribery. Not only are their witch hunts malicious, but also unconstitutional.

When Ohio State senator George lang was introducing JD Vance at a rally he said “I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved,”
He is not promoting it, he is merely expressing it as a possibility. 
I will give credit to you though, the last two examples are somewhat decent, even though your Trump examples are wrong and ill-informed.

They constantly slander anyone who disagrees with them as "communists"
that word is overused, I agree.

and encourage their followers to see anyone who doesn't support them as less than human, especially immigrants. 
Some Republicans do, but some Democrats do the same thing as well. 
examples:
- Clinton's “basket of deplorables” comment
-Pelosi’s comment that Republicans deny climate change
-Warren’s comment that trump embraces white supremacists
-AOC’s comment that migrant detention centers (used to keep criminals) are really concentration camps, making Trump the Hitler of our southern border
-Dems sparked BLM riots
-and violent anti-Israel protests
-and 2 assassination attempts by calling Trump a fascist and a threat to democracy
-the list goes on

so? He was complimenting a republican for assaulting a journalist. That's praising violence. 

You are proving my point for me. Trump praised the officers for preventing violence. 
saying "there has to be retribution" is not preventing violence. It's saying we need to harm people, we need to take revenge. He didn't say "they need to be arrested" or "they need to be put in prison" he said there needs to be "retribution".

He did not suggest throwing them off the bridge. He suggested that if they are blocking traffic (which is illegal), then perform the functional equivalent of a citizens arrest and just keep driving.
you're mistaken, there were separate quotes. This is the exact quote for the throwing off the bridge:
“If something like this happened in Arkansas on a bridge there, let’s just say I think there would be a lot of very wet criminals that would be tossed overboard, not by law enforcement, but by the people whose road they are blocking. If they glued their hands to the car or the pavement, well … probably pretty painful to have their skin ripped off,”

Still going to stick with "he didn't suggest throwing them off a bridge? lol

Because mainstream democrats (esp. Kamala, who said it before but not tries to avoid it) say they want to confiscate your guns.
specific kinds of guns yes, all guns no. But this is a common lie republicans tell. 

She is suggesting resistence to violence, not incitement to violence, which you seem the suggest.
no, that just sounds like violence. If the government passes a law and you use violence to not comply, that is just violence. We don't say it's "resistance to violence" when a drug dealer shoots a cop.

We just don't want Trump to be prosecuted when running for election. Do it before or if he loses, after. 
he's been campaigning for president since the moment he lost. Some of these trials would have been over quite some time ago if he hadn't done everything he could to slow them down. One of them finished months ago and he has played every game he could to delay sentencing. So pretending like they didn't try to do it before is weak. 

As it says in the constitution, a president shall not be tried for anything other than treason or bribery.
it does not say that. The president is not above the law. If he were, he would be a king.

Not only are their witch hunts malicious, but also unconstitutional.
they are. luckily, these are not witch hunts. I don't understand how anyone could think they are. Many of the crimes are extremely public knowledge. Like the stealing of the classified documents. How could you deny he did that? He took documents he wasn't allowed to. The government spent a year begging him to return them and he refused. That's a crime. That's a whole bunch of crimes. 

He is not promoting it, he is merely expressing it as a possibility. 
this is the dog whistle though. By saying if we lose a democratic election, we may have to resort to violence to seize power. If you didn't want that outcome, you wouldn't say that. 

that word is overused, I agree.
I'm not sure I've ever heard a republican use it correctly. I seriously doubt the vast majority of republicans could even define communism. 

Clinton's “basket of deplorables” comment
yeah that was shitty. but she's kind an elitist snob. 

Pelosi’s comment that Republicans deny climate change
Most republicans (the elected ones anyway) do deny climate change. Or at a minimum do everything they can to prevent the government from taking steps to address it. Was there a lie or insult here that I am missing?

Warren’s comment that trump embraces white supremacists
this is a factual statement

AOC’s comment that migrant detention centers (used to keep criminals) are really concentration camps, making Trump the Hitler of our southern border
Under trump, they made a concerted effort to intentionally make these centers worse. For example, their policy of separating children from their parents, but not making any plan on how they would reunite them later. the cruelty was the goal. The idea was to make being detained here so bad that no one would want to cross the border. 

Dems sparked BLM riots
I am not aware of any facts that would support this statement.

and violent anti-Israel protests
how did the dems do that? 

and 2 assassination attempts by calling Trump a fascist and a threat to democracy
the assassins were crazy republicans. The idea that the democrats caused those attempts is just silly. 

-the list goes on
your examples are mostly baseless or just shitty comments from old rich elitists.

He did not compliment him for it, he complimented his strength. Personally, I don’t like Brock Lesnar, I wouldn’t compliment him, but maybe I would compliment his strength, since he’s a great fighter. Trump can be a little out of pocket though. 

I would say this, Trump would not be my friend if I met him, but his success as President (especially compared to Biden and Kamala’s failures) is undeniable. I am not voting in a friend. I am voting for who will be (and has been) better at their job.

saying "there has to be retribution" is not preventing violence. It's saying we need to harm people, we need to take revenge. He didn't say "they need to be arrested" or "they need to be put in prison" he said there needs to be "retribution".
There needs to be retribution for criminals, and there will be. On the day of judgment.

you're mistaken, there were separate quotes. This is the exact quote for the throwing off the bridge: “If something like this happened in Arkansas on a bridge there, let’s just say I think there would be a lot of very wet criminals that would be tossed overboard, not by law enforcement, but by the people whose road they are blocking. If they glued their hands to the car or the pavement, well … probably pretty painful to have their skin ripped off,”
No, I am not mistaken. He said that once again, people who are blocking traffic (which is highly illegal) will be removed. This kind of rhetoric is why Trump had low crime (except BLM, which I’ll touch on later)
specific kinds of guns yes, all guns no. But this is a common lie republicans tell. 
First, I am not a Republican. I am an independent. I loathe both the RNC and the DNC. I like Trump bc he is anti-establishment, but that’s a whole nother topic. 

It does not say that. The president is not above the law. If he were, he would be a king.
Article II, Section 4, which states:> "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Trump is guilty of none of the above. He isn’t in office currently but the witch hunts started even when he was. If they were real cases, maybe they would be admissable.
yeah that was shitty. but she's kind an elitist snob. 
agreed.
Most republicans (the elected ones anyway) do deny climate change.
Climate Change Facts:
Do we have any evidence that rising surface temperatures are bad for humans? No
Do more people die from cold or hot temperatures? 8x as many people die from cold 
Plants grow better from warm temperatures (carbon dioxide).
The earth has risen 1 or 2 degrees on average in the last century, not nearly enough to pose any threat.
We have FAR greater threats in 2024 than climate change, namely, WW3/Nuclear exchange with Russia (google what putin said to USA about nukes), USA’s illegal border invasion, historic inflation, bloated federal bureaucracy, etc.
ME: Warren’s comment that trump embraces white supremacists. YOU: this is a factual statement.
                                          
The idea was to make being detained here so bad that no one would want to cross the border. 
The idea was to not let illegals come here in the first place, but if they did, they would be reprimanded for breaking the law. Not that complicated.

ME: Dems sparked BLM riots. YOU: I am not aware of any facts that would support this statement.
The fact is that the BLM protestors were all Democrats. All the Dem officials (like Kamala) tried to post bail for the few that were arrested. The worst riots (like Tampon Tim’s Minneapolis) happened under the watch of Blue governors and/or in Blue states. Some were fine, like Beshear (D gov.) Kentucky (R state), or Youngkin (R gov.) Virginia (D state). But the blue governors in blue states all condoned those riots, and condemned any pushback from normal people, like Rittenhouse or Gardner. I was appalled by the Dems then, and any sane person should be as well.
ME: dems sparked the violent anti-Israel protests. YOU how did the dems do that? 
By supporting a two-state solution, by calling Netanyahu a war criminal, by calling Gaza a genocide, by calling Israel an apartheid state, etc.
Also, I don't care HOW they are doing it, I care THAT they are doing it.
the assassins were crazy republicans. The idea that the democrats caused those attempts is just silly. 
Right, they are definitely Republicans. B/C they would want to shoot their own candidate in the head… the logic isn’t working here

your examples are mostly baseless or just shitty comments from old rich elitists. 
This is partly true since they are old rich DEMOCRAT elitists.

He did not compliment him for it, he complimented his strength. 
the quote was "Any guy that can do a body slam, he is my type!". He didn't say he's my type because he's strong. He said he's my type because he can body slam. He he famously did that to a journalist. IE he praised him for assaulting a member of a group he doesn't like. 

I would say this, Trump would not be my friend if I met him, but his success as President (especially compared to Biden and Kamala’s failures) is undeniable. I am not voting in a friend. I am voting for who will be (and has been) better at their job.
we were discussing whether or not republicans praise violence. This is an undeniable case where trump praised a guy for engaging in violence against a group trump doesn't like. It kinda feels like you are hedging. you see he praises violence so you feel the need to state how you don't personally like that, but that you will still vote for the ones praising violence. That's useless. It's basically like saying "I don't like when children attack other children, but I'm going to reward him for it anyway". If you still vote for him despite his calls for violence, then you are endorsing his calls for violence. 

There needs to be retribution for criminals, and there will be. On the day of judgment.
And I'm fine if god wants to do that. Trump is not a god. No man is. So calling for it is a call for violence. 

no, I am not mistaken. He said that once again, people who are blocking traffic (which is highly illegal) will be removed.
the quote is "If something like this happened in Arkansas on a bridge there, let’s just say I think there would be a lot of very wet criminals that would be tossed overboard". And you are denying that is saying they should be thrown off a bridge? Are you on drugs? What other interpretation of that is there? How are the protestors getting "very wet"? What else does "tossed overboard" mean?

First, I am not a Republican. I am an independent. I loathe both the RNC and the DNC. I like Trump bc he is anti-establishment, but that’s a whole nother topic. 
ok. that doesn't change the fact that it is a common republican lie. You are just an independent repeating their lies. Does that make it better?

Article II, Section 4, which states:> "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
this describes him being impeached and removed from office. This does not say he cannot be charged with crimes. It only described how he can be removed from the office of the presidency after committing those specific crimes. The only thing that stopped him being charged while in office was a memo from the department of justice. 

He isn’t in office currently but the witch hunts started even when he was. If they were real cases, maybe they would be admissable.
they are all real cases. Most of them are pretty much indisputable based solely on public information.

Do we have any evidence that rising surface temperatures are bad for humans? No
yes, we absolutely do. It is already causing massive damage and it is getting worse. 

Do more people die from cold or hot temperatures? 8x as many people die from cold 
lol that is not what we are talking about. I'm not saying temperature change is going to make people die of heat stroke. That's not the primary problem. the problem is all the other affects it has on us. droughts, hurricanes, increased forest fires etc. 

Plants grow better from warm temperatures (carbon dioxide).
but they grow much worse in a drought caused by climate change, or while on fire. 

The earth has risen 1 or 2 degrees on average in the last century, not nearly enough to pose any threat.
if you think that, then you don't understand our climate. Even tiny changes can cause significant changes. 

We have FAR greater threats in 2024 than climate change, namely, WW3/Nuclear exchange with Russia (google what putin said to USA about nukes)
putin threatens nukes for everything. Them using them is certainly a threat that could happen at any moment. But Putin is all talk. 

USA’s illegal border invasion
I agree that is an issue, but the idea that this is more dangerous than climate change is insane. It's not even obvious that this causes more harm than good. Much of the US economy relies on illegal migrants. If it were possible to somehow stop all of them, entire industries would collapse. 

historic inflation
inflation is currently at 2.5% in the US. slightly higher than ideal. Absolutely not historic. 

this is a common theme for trump. he says things both ways. He calls on his supporters to engage in violence, but then denounces violence. He praises white supremacists, but then condemns white supremacists. He knows his supporters want to ignore any and all shitty things he does and will cling to him denouncing it and ignore him praising it. 

The fact is that the BLM protestors were all Democrats. 
lol, the large majority of black people are democrats. The republicans are openly racist. So even if it were true that the BLM protestors were democrats, which I don't know if you can prove, it wouldn't mean anything. That wouldn't prove "the democrats" started riots. That would mean specific members of the party did. Just like specific republicans (and white supremacists) started a riot. but most people wouldn't say "the republicans" started it.

any pushback from normal people, like Rittenhouse
lol you say normal people, then give an example of a sociopathic murderer...

By supporting a two-state solution
what other solution is there? seriously. There is putting them into 2 separate states, or there is making them citizens of Israel which would immediately make israel a palestinian state. 

by calling Netanyahu a war criminal
he is a war criminal. The israeli's have committed god only knows how many war crimes. There's documented cases of them forcing handcuffed civilians at gunpoint into buildings to clear them of booby traps or ambushes. That's a war crime. According to Israeli soldiers, it is a common practice of the IDF. 

by calling Israel an apartheid state,
What else would you call it? They keep millions of people living in squalor and on the verge of starvation. They allow them little to no rights, steal from them whenever they feel like it, cut off food and medicine when it suits them. They are an oppressive apartheid state. They have been for a long time.

Also, I don't care HOW they are doing it, I care THAT they are doing it.
Democrats accurately describe the actions of israel, and that upsets you for some reason...

@HistoryBuff
the quote was "Any guy that can do a body slam, he is my type!". He didn't say he's my type because he's strong. He said he's my type because he can body slam. He he famously did that to a journalist. IE he praised him for assaulting a member of a group he doesn't like. 
Maybe. Maybe not. Either wat it is stupid and insufferable to obsess over one comment from eight years ago that has nothing to do with his presidency and doesn’t affect my life.

Trump is not a god. No man is. So calling for it is a call for violence. 
The idea that punishing criminals is blasphemous bc only God can punish is ludicrous.

it only described how he can be removed from the office of the presidency after committing those specific crimes. 
which is what I said. reader comprehension of yours could use some work bud

they are all real cases.
Where? In fantasy land?

yes, we absolutely do. It is already causing massive damage and it is getting worse. 
Give the proof. I have not seen any.

Even tiny changes can cause significant changes. 
Give proof. I have not seen any.

Much of the US economy relies on illegal migrants. 
Then how come we were significantly more prosperous under Trump, with historic-low levels of Illegal migration?
Here are some stats from Border Patrol:
13000 known murderers are ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
16000 known rapists are ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
300000 lost kids are ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
the stories of Rachel Morin, Jocelyn Nungaray, etc.
They don’t boost our economy. They stab it in the heart.

If G-d wanted a drought, it would happen, like it did with Abraham and Joseph in Egypt. 

inflation is currently at 2.5% in the US. slightly higher than ideal. Absolutely not historic. 
Look at inflation numbers for 2021, 22, and 23. 
2021 = 7 percent inflation
2022 = 6.5 percent
2023 = 3.4 percent

Trump had around 2 percent inflation per year, and I agree he spent too much money on the wall.
Obama and Bush both had around 1 percent inflation per year

He knows his supporters want to ignore any and all shitty things he does and will cling to him denouncing it and ignore him praising it. 
You sound bitter. and misguided.

the large majority of black people are democrats. The republicans are openly racist.
You are the one that just brought up race out of nowhere, for no reason. But I guess i’m racist. Go figure.

It seems you are suggesting that since democrats caused BLM riots, and since most blacks are Dems, they can be correlated and thus me pointing out the buildings they burnt makes me racist. 

you say normal people, then give an example of a sociopathic murderer
if self-defense makes one a “sociopathic murderer”, then I guess I support sociopathic murderers.

what other solution is there? (besides a two-state solution) he is a war criminal. (netanyahu) What else would you call it? (besides apartheid)
I will address all three allegations:

1) A two-state solution will not work. It has been proposed since 1973 when Israel absorbed Palestinians and kept Gaza post-war. Every treaty has been ripped up by the surrounding arab and Muslim countries (1. 1949 Armistice Agreements 2. Camp David Accords (1978) 3. Oslo Accords (1993) 4. Arab Peace Initiative (2002) 5. Treaty of Peace Between Israel and Jordan (1994) 6. 2005 Disengagement Plan, etc.)

There has not been peace in the region and a "two-state solution” will do nothing. The only potentiality for peace is to eradicate evil like Hamas and Hezbollah, which would do the world a favor.

2) Netanyahu is not a war criminal. There are 2 million Palestinians in Gaza. 30k have died. That is 0.015%, less than 1 tenth of a percentage. 
If you cared about saving lives, you would ban abortion. 

You don’t actually care about Palestinians, they were kicked out of literally every arab country before Israel absorbed them. Their name is remake of the Philistines, a vile anti-Semitic group that tried to wipe them out a few thousand years ago. 

Furthermore, Why aren’t you against the 5.5 million africans killed in Congo? 

3) Israel is not apartheid. They gave billions in aid to the Palestinians when they evacuated Jews out of their homes in 2005. Do some research.

@SocraticGregarian96
something Trump takes far more responsibility for than any other individual in our country.
disagree. if you dont like the guy you still dont get to shoot him. you cant blame trump for people having TDS, it’s like blaming a victim for being robbed. Perhaps the victim should have done more to avoid the situation, but the robber is nevertheless the one predominantly at fault.
Your response is completely disconnected from anything I've said.

We just agreed that shooting at him was unacceptable, so why are you acting like I suggested otherwise?

The point I just made is that Trump is largely responsible for the dark turn our political discourse has taken, because he is. Have you never heard him speak? All he does is insult people and scare his voters into thinking his political opposition is the enemy. 

Harris and Walz both denounced it, Kamala even called Trump herself afterward.
I haven’t heard that. I’m not saying i dont believe you. i’m just saying i dont neccesarily believe you. give not a report, but the video of her denouncing it PUBLICLY. I havent seen any video proof that she has denounced it
Well this took all of 5 seconds to find...
