monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

@Lash,

Fair enough.

I'm as sensitive as the next man who'd spent all morning observing savage birds of prey. Actually they were all very nice, especially the vultures.

The next sentence will probably confirm every stereotype you have about the English. I took the kids to Andover Hawk Conservancy after Ralph Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 4th Baron Montagu of Beaulieu's falconer recommended it to me.

Haha, not sure what that has to do with anything ya'll are talking about but I don't quite see it as amiable. shrugs. I admit to having trouble following the argument or why it is even important. I don't know who Corbyn is or why it matters who resembles whom or don't as the case may be.

For the times in the US Sanders was seen as very socialist and he is credited with bringing more progressive ideals to favor in the US since 2016. I look at it as a good thing. We have a long way to go to catch with those who live across the oceans, but, any steps in the progressives direction is a positive in my view. I would like our country to catch up with the rest of known democracies of the world in providing affordable health care and other issues such as that. For every step we take, it seems republicans would like to pull us back to the detriment of our country citizens.

Anything else is way way beyond you.

I always fully understand everything that I'm talking about. That's why you can never point out anything that I'm wrong about.

And the BBC has been caught deliberately publishing outright lies:

Well, there are quite a few US-forces in the UK.
But do you seriously propose they should not only kill him but policemen/policewomen as well ... only because the UK follows a legal system and international diplomatic procedure you disagree with?

I highly doubt that the UK is going to offer Assange asylum from the US.

But if they did offer him asylum from the US, how would that be following a legal system or international diplomatic procedure?

I also doubt that he will be accompanied by policemen everywhere in any country that does offer him asylum. Collateral damage can be all sorts of things.

Nice try. The BBC has been busted for fabricating fake news. It is little more than tabloid journalism.

The BBC should publish a print edition. At least that could be used for lining the bottom of bird cages.

You cannot point out anything that I've said that is untrue.

The establishment still uses McCarthyism—as evidenced by even the so-called liberal party using McCarthy-type censure against our first elected Muslim female representative--publicly censuring her for criticizing Israel and for appearing to criticize the US response to 911.

Condemning people for antisemitism is hardly McCarthyism.

I haven't really been paying attention to the 9/11 kerfuffle, but if she said something offensive there as well, it is fair to criticize her for it.

I don't believe he wilj ask for asylum in the UK.
But asylum wasn't what you wrote/mentioned in the post I replied to.

Is he an US-citizen? (You do know what asylum is, isn't it?)

Tea Party rally back in 2010. This was that long-ago period in American history when Republicans thought the KGB was bad.

Sure it is. What is "shielding someone from our legal system" other than asylum?

Not that I'm aware of.

Is it when someone is offered refuge from another country that is trying to gain custody of them?

@oralloy,

No extradition for instance.

No.

@Walter Hinteler,

Well explain what you think the difference is, and I'll try to reframe my point in terms that you feel are more precise.

@oralloy,

Difference to/between what?

1 Reply

@Walter Hinteler,

The difference between "asylum" and "refusing to extradite someone".

Didn't you just claim that they are not the same thing?

I'll be away for the rest of the afternoon though. So I'll have to post any clarifications later this evening.

An IQ-test used frequently is about speech perception.
You would be below an IQ of 100 if you group those two terms.

Corbyn is the man most likely to be our next prime minister. He is the most left wing leader since Harold Wilson.
