We and Netanyahu barge into our congress and insult the president… soooooo?

Free speech is a two way street. You have to give room for people you don't agree with to speak so you can have a voice when the time comes too.

@@bbirda1287wtf has this got to do with the free speech garbage you Americans are currently misusing?

Oi wei.

Pretty sure he did....check his past videos.

I completely agree with your comment

Belief and the concept of Belief is in my opinion is the Achilles Heel of Humanity. Truth and truthful information creates permanent, linear, neural pathways in a healthy Human Brain. I'm theorizing that lies, propaganda, misinformation etc., do not create the foundation for a healthy brain. The role Belief plays in the Human Brain I'm sure doesn't enable critical or creative thinking. In my personal experience having never bought into any organized religion and beginning in 1984 deliberately, wilfully, and consciously eliminating the verbal use of the word Belief and all prerogatives of the word from my conscious thought and verbal speech, it's astoundingly pathetic how often Belief and its usage pervades the speech and thought of so called Humanity. Interesting since Belief requires no factual evidence, just never ending speculation, theories, and only blind faith that the source of the belief is honest, genuine, sincere, and of good intent. With Belief so persuasive, it's the easiest thing to do for an individual wanting to exercise power and control to manipulate a population of believers. They're simply sitting ducks. Now one my think that the absence of the concept of Belief would create an individual void of morality, ethics, or Spirituality. Yet, millions of Atheists and non believers are moral, ethical, non violent, and aren't habitual criminals. I prefer to KNOW, rather than Believe and through 50 years of a layman's interest in philosophy, psychology, geopolitics, anthropology and history, as well as 40 years of rejecting Belief from my thought patterns; I have a rich, rewarding Spiritual Life based on a lot of hard diligent work in building a foundation of Knowledge. I have found that the Truth does not require our conscious acknowledgement of it, to be True. It is already True and pre exists our concept of what can Truely be believed. There's the Achilles Heel; the Truth doesn't require Belief to be True, it requires the accumulation of Truthful Knowledge and in the end; can't be believed anyways.

What’s the story with military and Trump?

@@VintageSoloHarmony I think that most generals and higher ranking officers are well read enough (colonels and generals often have multiple advanced degrees) to understand the danger that Trump presents. But there exist the Mike Flynn types. Tho use who would behave as he did MUST be weeded out…anytime they engage in partisan politics, particularly in uniform is a violation of the UCMJ and cause for removal.

The difference is that the normal population is right. There's a reason they're the normal ones! 2+2 always equals 4, no matter how many people say it's 5.

This is my favorite topic. They say =5 because it gives them a pleasant sense of belonging to Maga, quite like chanting in religion. The thing is, liking a statement doesn’t make it true. That’s a reason why math training in all schools is so important, forms good cognitive emotional habits.

I agree

Tricky still looks bad to me. I've been to his grave and he's literally rotting.

Nixon....as in I smell Nixon ? It's very close but yes trump is worse than Nixon.. you can't really measure a criminal endeavor with a parade of madmen ...trump is headed to jail. , jail , trump , crime , judges ,jail...it's still hard to swallow

True. Should countries that have the long term goal of destroying the liberal economic order be allowed to exploit the modern economic system?

I can tell that you are intimately knowledgeable about Al and his guest list by the way you misspell his name,

@@susansprague7304 Doh!

frakens in denial about that situation.

its not left and right, its normal and crazy. One side accepts reality the other doesnt. Heres the simple test, who won the election.

O sleep! O gentle sleep! Nature's soft nurse, how have I frighted thee, That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down And steep my senses in forgetfulness? Why rather, sleep, liest thou in smoky cribs, Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee, And hush'd with buzzing night-flies to thy slumber, Than in the perfum'd chambers of the great, Under the canopies of costly state, And lull'd with sound of sweetest melody?
