Happy Easter to you as well!

As many, including myself, have mentioned, I dont like the guy personally and voted for others in the primary; however, he was a much better choice than Harris. I just cannot explain it better than that.

I'm guessing sending more pallets of money to Iran and pretending they wouldn't use it to fund their offensive against Israel, the US, or any other target would have been a preferable option for you?

As disappointed as I have been, the alternative was so much worse.

You haven't a clue of what I am talking about..."hate on" ...mmm...yeah I will hate on towards certain elements..in fact a large element of people who are basically trying and pretty much going to succeed in destroying the country I was born in.....I think you and starmer are obviously similar as he was a human rights lawyer...and your leanings are definitely up his street..... enjoy all the "benefits " that these people bring to your own country as you obviously welcome them with open arms....

And here is a video for you ....as I have said when have posted odd one of her other videos she is articulate and accurate...but according to you she is obviously "hate on" in it

Do you actually know any muslims? Some of them are awesome and make great contributions to society, including western society, every day. More than you or I do that is for sure.

I find that most ignorant hateful people tend not to spend any time with the people they like to generalize about.

Let me take a moment to tell you about a couple of the muslim guys I spent some time with this weekend.

Yesterday I played tennis with a muslim doctor who was just elevated to the highest level of the Order of Canada. Why? Because he is one of the world's best lung transplant surgeons and has developed a number of ways to reduce infections after lung transplants that has saved thousands of lives across the world. I can tell you, I am sure happy that he is in my country and I sure wouldn't trade him for you.

And let me tell you about the muslim doctor I am having Easter dinner with tonight (his wife is Christian and hosts an awesome easter dinner). He is a top doc in reducing mortality rates post thoracic surgery. He leads a great hospital here in Canada and is a highly sought after teacher all across the world and particularly in the U.K. His work is also responsible for saving thousands if not tens of thousands of lives. I am very happy that he emigrated from South Africa to Canada and I wouldn't trade him for you either.

Now, if you were born in England (which is what I suspect you are saying) and you have some big issue about muslims immigrating there I find that kinda funny. Because unless you missed it England decided that they would build an empire and took over a number of muslim areas. The fact that some muslims then decided to emigrate to the country that invaded and ruled theirs should not come as a massive surprise to you.

In fact if you are familiar with the Windrush era, you would know that jolly old England had a massive labour shortage and encouraged the emigration of huge numbers of colonials to keep the economy humming and to rebuild the damage of WWII. England needed and invited millions of muslims, rather than there being some conspiracy to send muslims to England. I guess forgetting history just makes it a lot easier to hate the outsider.

Or maybe you are just not happy about the fact that there are a number of muslim owned and run hunting outfitters doing well in Zambia now.

Which is exactly what Justice Roberts said to the lawyer for the government on the citizenship case the other day. Amen to both.

I thought those pallets of money to Iran was just another debunked conspiracy theory? If memory serves there was something on the lines of Iranian frozen assets being unfrozen when the US and the other signatories entered the nuclear treaty with Iran?

Wonderful Easter Morning message from Trump. Embarrassing. The guy has zero class. Never had any. Disgusting. You MAGA Trumplodites go ahead and make your excuses. Climb right down in the dung heap with him. Happy Easter!

I saw that, and if he really said that, I agree that it was classless and embarrassing; I know I was embarrassed to read it.

However, while I do not understand those that support every little thing he says and does (MAGA?), I'll differ on ripping on them. I will say only that we disagree rather sharply on what we consider to be an acceptable level of decorum.

Jeez you are so repetitively boring...as I said you still haven't a clue what I am talking about...and I don't need any history lessons either...and I think I possibly know a bit more about the hunting industry in zambia than you do....but you seem to be a self proclaimed expert on everything.....and yes I do know Muslims here and are friends..even ones involved in the hunting industry here believe it or not....so yeah as I said you haven't a clue what I am talking about or point I was making...but then I am not a smart arsed condescending liberal lawyer...so am obviously too uneducated to make my point understandable to you....so I will excuse myself from conducting any more repartee with you, as it's too much wasted time ....

If I were American voter I would vote for president Trump, because I saw Harris as continuation of president Biden policies.
At that time the western countries under leadership of USA had only one war to worry about.
Ukraine. And the west was united.

Now:
USA has two wars to worry about, in totally different and separated theaters. Ukraine and Iran.
This caused all alliances to be shaken and questioned in EU and Nato, and also in the gulf region.
The collective west is facing the biggest and unprecedented crises ever with two raging wars of unpredictable result and with unforeseeable end, with diverging interests between allies.
Materiel and war logistics production and supply from shells to advanced missiles must be stretched to maximum. Can it sustain the two war efforts, of high intensity? I dont know.

President Trump threatens to exit Nato, Not to mention earlier Greenland aspirations which caused first open opposition of European allies.

European powers do not want to participate in Iran war and are closing down air bases for American planes.

Arab nations want stability in region for tourism, stable finance sector, to continue oil export and are reluctant to join the war effort against Iran, so far active only in defensive actions against areal threats.
That is the present situation.

We can only wait to see what tomorrow will bring.
What I can see now in the gulf is only escalation without the limit.

It is a conspiracy, 1.7 billion to settle a decades old financial dispute. No big deal. I wonder how many billions the Trump admin will give to Iran by loosing sanctions? Or if the Trump admin allows Iran to toll the strait moving forward?

 

[Big_Easy]

Mad man

I mean we all know Trump to be a fake Christian, but now he's openly praising Allah? Who had Trump converts to Islam on their 2026 bingo card? Not me.

Imagine if Obama had said that? Hypocrisy so thick you'd need one of those secret Jewish Space lasers to cut through it!

Agree with much of what you say.

Listening to Trump and Rubio. It doesn’t seem like either of them consider America to be in two wars. Only Iran. Both have stated Ukraine to be Europe’s problem.

Cash was sent. They said it was from "frozen assets", but Congress never authorized "unfreezing" anything. Also, it was not a treaty, as it was never presented nor ratified by the Senate.

Actually, I'm more concerned about things like this:

Man who 'married' care home girl, 15, guilty of sex abuse

The victim was sexually abused by groups of men from the age of 13 in West Yorkshire, a court hears.

President trump never said he was a Christian. And even if a man says they are a Christian that doesn’t make you one faith does. On the allah part I believe he was mocking them.
