monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

So you conservatives think that getting a Non Disclosure Agreement signed empowers the president to lie to the American people without consequences?

But then Trump started talking about how our allies needed to pay more. And maybe we should leave NATO, (music to Putin's ears). And how from now on we should forget about commitments to defend freedom and instead deal with Russia on the basis of mutual self-interest. Presumably, that means if Russia wants to take over Eastern Europe again, they can have it as long as we get our cut. Trump has done a great job trying to rend apart the unity that NATO has had for seventy years and which has defended freedom so well, in order to curry favor with Putin. This is a dangerous situation.

No, we did not agree with Reagan's trickle down domestic policies, but I know of no liberal who spoke out in defense of the Communist regime that was falling down. We were there cheering the Soviet Union's demise.

This is as opposed to Trump, who constantly seeks to reward Russia for it's takeover of Ukrainian Crimea and it's invasion of Eastern Ukraine proper by getting rid of the sanctions that got put in under Obama.

And of course, Trump installed Jeff Sessions as Attorney General, who promptly lied to the Senate confirmation committee about meeting the Russian ambassador secretly.

Clearly, Trump was the Manchurian Candidate and has stocked his Administration with people who will do Putin's bidding. What a disgrace.

That's not how I remember it. I recall liberals trying to undermine the US and help the USSR destroy us.

No. My recall is nearly perfect.

Once again Israel and US conservatives (and some democrats, more than there should be) are blaming the victims of Israel's aggression.

It is how they get away with killing thousands of civilian Palestinians, just claim the "Arabs" uses civilians as shields and thus they can go on killing Palestinians with that faux justification.

Not only that, but apparently their excuse for killing children who are at the fence protesting in the 'great return march' is simply say the children should have been in school.

I think Israel is guilty of as much human rights violations as any of the other non democratic countries.

I don't understand why we support Israel.

Moreover, Trump is nothing but a dangerous idiot for moving the embassy to Jerusalem despite it being something that was apparently approved in congress. (It shouldn't have been.) It messes up any further peace talks

because it arbitrarily assumes Jerusalem to be Israel's capitol when such is not the case.

All the blood shed over embassy move is blood on Trump and thus US hands.

Well, at least (eye-)witnesses have made different experiences.

There were plenty of witnesses to liberals trying to undermine the US and help the USSR to win during the Cold War.

blaming the victims of Israel's aggression.

You are simply not worth the bother of responding to

Oralloy takes the side of the jackboot.

You are simply not worth the bother of responding to when you trot out tired lines over and over again concerning Israel's aggression.

The people in Gaza were unarmed protesters and Israel fired upon them.

They were not firing rockets at Israel

but some kids might of threw a few rocks out of pure helpless frustration.

You act as though Israel can do no wrong

nearly the opposite has been true since it's conception.

I wonder, why some (e.g. the USA) block calls for an independent Gaza inquiry.

it's black people killed by racist police officers,

The likely reason is that the proposed inquiry was not interested in facts but was merely meant to be a vehicle for making false accusations against Jews.

So all the other nations (including such a close ally as the UK) want to make false accusations against Jews?

But yes, that wouldn't surprise me at all.
