So do you think Congress would have passed the pistol brace ban?

And to break this down for you Swordsmyth: 1) Not everybody here believes Al Qaida had anything to do with 9/11. You've been around enough to know the various conspiracy theories that exist on that. 2) If Al Qaida did do 9/11, the CIA involvement is much more than just that they "promoted the mujahadeen against the Soviets." At the very least the CIA helped the 9/11 terrorists into the U.S. 3) If the CIA had operational control of Al Qaeda throughout the attack, as Benjamen Netanyahu seems to have had operational control over Hamas throughout October 7, then it's not justified to kill Muslims, even in Afghanistan who were not part of Al Qaeda or the Taliban, when we're not actually going after the people really responsibile. (The CIA).

You're either being dishonest over very stupid. The "A-OK" wasn't "A-OK" to 3,000 Americans being killed! It was "A-OK" as in "I know you're full of shyt but I'm not going to argue with you!"

It's taking power back from the bureauracy and requiring a vote by congress. Bureauracts don't have to get re-elected. Congress does. The current standard is that the bureauracrats have to put up their new rules for public comment which is supposed to mean something but really doesn't.

And this is why this forum is still relevent. r3volutionary memory. Good find Anti Federalist and good bump Matt.

:rolleyes: So now you're claiming Ron Paul hates America? Because that's exactly what you're implying. Yes, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. And the PLO had nothing to do with October 7th. They HATE Hamas. And yet Israel used October 7th as justification for land confiscation and attacks in the West Bank which is run by the PLO. That's ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENT than the U.S. using 9/11 as an excuse to invade Iraq. Oh? You say that Palestinians in the West Bank cheered October 7th? Well there were Iraqis that cheered 9/11 too. But the Iraqi government did not PARTICIAPATE in 9/11 and yet Iraqi civilians suffered from U.S. agression in the aftermath. Edit: And the fact that you conflate people not supporting Trump's plan, which you yourself have had to admit at least twice now that YOU don't support, and people not supporting the Netanyahu government with somehow people hating America means you must think Netanyahu = America. You're exposing yourself.

God's promises are conditional. Solomon broke the covenant so God took 10 of the tribes away from the Davidic line and created the Northern Kingdom known as Israel also known as Samaria. See: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Kings%2011%3A26-12%3A33&version=NIV Also see: 1 Kings 16:29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria over Israel twenty-two years. And yes, Ahab was one of the most wicked kings Israel ever had. But Elijah was the prophet of Samaria sent to pronounce judgment on Ahab and kill the prophets of Ba'al. Also those who were cut off because of unbelief, according to the God were no longer considered Hebrews or part of the covenant. I gave you chapter and verse explaining how people could be cut off. You're simply ignoring the Bible. More on how God made his covenant conditional:

Let's assume absolute proof comes out that the CIA was behind 9/11. Using your logic the war in Iraq was justified because....reasons. You really didn't think that one through.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Snowball again.

:rolleyes: You're just going to keep blithely ignoring the fact that Hamas is Netanyahu's false flag army aren't you? ^This.

:rolleyes: God took Northern Israel from the Jews and gave it to the Samaritans. The current people calling themselves Jews aren't Jews. Revelation 2:9 9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Many of the founders of modern Israel were atheists. See: https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2017-01-21/ty-article/.premium/how-israel-went-from-atheist-zionism-to-jewish-state/0000017f-e918-dc91-a17f-fd9d87a00000 If you actually read your Bible you would know that atheists have no business claiming God's promises.

A fact that everybody is ignoring. Gaza NEVER belonged to the Jews, not even in Bible times. It belonged to the Philistines. (That's where the word "Palestinian" comes from). Northern Israel, after the kingdom was divided by God, didn't belong to the Jews either. It was the kingdom of Israel AKA the Samaritan kingdom. As pointed out in John chapter 4 "The Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans." The funny thing is, the Samaratins still exist. And..they get along both with Jews and Arabs. So give the Samaritans back THEIR land, let the Jews have historical Judea, the Palestinans have what was Philistia and "problem solved." Of course the Samaritans are small in number now so they'll need some backup. But at least there's not an ongoing blood feud right now between them and anybody else. https://www.timesofisrael.com/film-projects-spotlight-on-israels-tiny-samaritan-community-fighting-for-its-future/ The Samaritans have lived in the Land of Israel for 3,600 years. Some may be familiar with references to them in the New Testament, but few know who they really are. A new multi-faceted project by the Yeshiva University Center for Israel Studies introduces the Samaritans to a wide and varied audience, and explores how they have managed to survive for millennia despite efforts by conquering powers to erase them. Crucially, the project asks how the Samaritans plan to continue to survive into the future when today they number a mere 862.

Do you realize how self contradictory your analysis is? They aren't be removed permanently but they will go back to killing and burning until they are removed permanently and in the meantime Trump wants to build a resort? For who? Suicidal tourists?

Fixed it for you. https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/

:rolleyes: Okay. So I guess your an equal opportunity lover of fascism. Everybody is innocent if they're right wing (all the January 6th prisoners) and must all be guilty if a right winger imprisons them. Whatever dude. And I know it's a waste of time arguing with you because you have zero honesty or credibility. But for anyone else who might read this, even the El Salvadorian government knows that innocents are getting swept up in the dragnet. People are getting arrested on nothing but anonymous phone calls. You've never heard of SWATTING in the U.S.? This is many times worse. https://english.elpais.com/international/2023-08-27/el-salvador-the-hell-of-the-innocent-sent-to-prison-on-an-anonymous-phone-call.html

Wow! I didn't know that.

So mass incarceration of regular people in El Salvador under the guise of fighting gang crime? https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/thousands-of-innocent-people-jailed-in-el-salvadors-gang-crackdown Thousands of innocent people jailed in El Salvador’s gang crackdown El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele was re-elected for a second term in a landslide win. Bukele has overseen a vast and brutal crackdown on gangs, transforming the nation from one of the deadliest to one of the safest in Latin America. But that peace has come at a cost with thousands of innocent people jailed. Amna Nawaz and producer Teresa Cebrian Aranda visited the country for this report.

That same year, the FMLN organized a pact with the two biggest gangs in El Salvador: MS-13 and Barrio-18. This truce was formulated secretly, as negotiating with gangs is a highly controversial issue that could result in public backlash. The agreement allowed for the gangs to have around thirty members moved from the Zacatecoluca Security Penitentiary Center to state prisons in exchange for a lower homicide rate. As a result, the murder rate in the coming weeks dropped, with the average of daily murders dropping from fourteen to six. This “truce” was quickly revealed by Salvadorian journalists and exposed to the public. The Minister of Justice and Public Security, David Munguía Payés, denied any agreements with MS-13 and Barrio 18, claiming that the homicide rates dropping were from the work of the National Civil Police. The government chose to continue denying any alleged truces that came up in the media.

The president of El Salvador? He's been trying to break the back of MS-13 for several years now but many of those gang members are living in the U.S. He might also get paid a fee for housing U.S. prisoners the same way private prisons get paid. The fact that U.S. citizens might be part of the deal is disturbing though and possibly illegal. Imagine if Biden had exported January 6th prisoners to foreign countries? MS-13 is a complete quagmire of a problem. Refugees from right wing CIA backed death squads in El Salvador in the 1980s eventually formed their own U.S. backed street gangs to protect themselves from the Mexican Mafia and the Bloods and the Crips in the U .S. Bill Clinton deported as many as he could that were not U.S. citizens but El Salvador and other Central American countries were not prepared for the influx and their prisons became breeding grounds for more gang activity allowing them to become international. This time the president of El Salvador has invested heavily in prison infrastructure and has done his own brutal crackdown on the gang. He's basically running a concentration camp. Not just gang members have been rounded up but people associated with them have been rounded up as well.

So how do YOU interpret the quote and what context would YOU put i it? It seems pretty obvious to me. "Were' putting in hundreds of millions of dollars" (the military aid we've been giving up until this point "and I want security of the rare earth and they are willing to do it" (the condition for sending more of the hundreds of millions of dollars). The context of the article is that Ukraine had already offered that as a deal to Trump to continue military and a significant amount of the areas where the rare earth is located is currently under Russian control. So you would leave all of that context out and just be left with a sound bite?

I think Executive Orders serve a function. Some make changes until another president, some get challenged by judges and smacked down. I think in this era any EO that get smacked down would be recognized as something on the agenda and might be considered for Congress. In some cases a smackdown of the EO might end up being more productive with Congress to cement it into law.
