I don't think Iran has attacked anyone. Least since '79. Didn't Iraq start the war between them? Yes, AIPAC is very powerful. Almost seems like they should be registered as a foreign lobby group but what do I know? I do know those in congress have to sign a statement of support for Israel, which seems a little strange, ally or not. I'm not really concerned about Israel. No one is going to 'push them into the sea' when they have America's backing and hundreds of nukes.
Far as I remember, Qadaffi wanted to change the way they sold oil. With gold. Not that I think Qadaffi was a swell guy, but he was finally benefiting his country in many ways before he was taken out. No tax, free school and health care, if I remember correct. It was better than it is currently. Now there's open slave markets.
There's many aspects to it. I think the pharmaceutical companies are in on it. If you get hiv, you are a lifetime drug user. That's one of my furthest out there conspiracy theories, I get if you'd scoff at that but look at the opiod epidemic in rural America. These people will destroy lives for profit. I'd put nothing past them.
A public to answer to? Obama got away with things that Trump would be crucified for. Hillary would probably get the same treatment, as the media would scold you that criticism of Hillary would be sexist, and they'd probably throw sexist in there for good measure.
I disagree. America still has the 1st and 2nd amendments, which no other western country really has. I get that you think Trump is a scumbag, but despite things like deep sixing the Paris peace accord, which I understand if people disagree, although I think it was one of his best moves, what has he done as president that is so horrible? Picking staff that hates him is one of his biggest failures but hopefully he'll learn. Interested to see who he'll replace Bolton with. Hope it's not another warmonger.
I know but StPat has a pathological fear of her being mentioned. But it ended up Trump or Clinton.
