What difference does their origin story make? What matters is what they are doing now. Ron Paul knew the CIA trained Bin Laden and the mujahadeen in Afghanistan and he still voted YES to attack Al Qaida. October 7th in Israel was 13 times worse than September 11 for USA. Israel has responded accordingly just as Ron Paul would vote for if he was in Israel's parliment. https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/why-107-was-worse-israel-911-was-america

Remember when he threatened to nuke North Korea and then he sat down with Kim Jong Un and signed a peace agreement. Same thing with Iran, except Iran is even more crazy. So you have to match their crazy rhetoric and maybe then they will sit down for a peace deal. If Trump wanted war with Iran, he could have escalated significantly when Iran launched an attack on US base in Iraq and injured our soldiers, but he declined and was criticized as weak. Trump has repeatedly demonstrated choosing peace instead of escalation. He is a business man and recognizes war is hell. Trump was the most anti-war president in a generation.

Trump is the peace candidate. He repeatedly speaks of avoiding WW3. If he truly thought Israel attacking Iran would trigger WW3, he would look for other options. 1842214332362346728

https://www.csis.org/analysis/assessing-israels-strike-iran This strike against Iran was earlier this year. Russian and China trade with Iran for economic reasons, not ideological reasons. Does their relationship rise to the level of mutual defense? I don't think so.

Israel has hit Iranian nuclear facilities before and they will do so again with or without US support. Biden didn't need to say anything and his response emboldens Iran and their proxies. If Iran has a nuke, fine, I don't care much about a country on the other side of the world. But the real danger is if they are able to pass it off to one of their truly insane proxies, Hamas, Hezbollah, houthies, etc. Saudi Arabia won't like that and will help Israel target Iran. It won't be WW3 because Russia and China don't care that much about Iran.

This DOJ hates that too, they will call it voter intimidation. Democrats have made investigating illegal voting near impossible.

Noncitizens voting is a crime. You can take steps to prevent crime, but within 90 days of an election, crime must be allowed!

Dems loved the Tim Walz pick, now they hate him and wish for a different VP pick 🤣

Vance is the future. Loser Rand is MIA.

Trump met with Kim Jong Un and literally stepped foot into North Korea and negotiated peace. The neocons lost their minds calling Trump every name in the book. Trump has pledged to meet with the President of Iran without preconditions, and again, the warmongers lost their minds. Yall seriously need help if you think Harris would do better.

So ridiculous, Iran continues to deny ever having a nuclear weapons program despite all evidence to the contrary. This is called Taqiyya. They lie to your face so they can stab you in the back. Regardless, the leaders in Iran are not the same as 2003, completely irrelevant. If there is a grand bargain to be had today, who do you want negotiating it? Trump or Harris?

You are seriously jaded if you think Trump = McCain. Thank you Trump for humiliating the McCains, the Bushes, the Cheneys, the Clintons, and ending their political dominance.

We get it, you don't care if Trump is murdered by Iran. Ron was always very clear, Al qaida attacked us and he proudly declared on the debate stage "I voted for that war!" If Trump is assassinated, it is a declaration of war on the United States, and a sufficient response in kind is appropriate. If you are a do nothing pacifist, fine, but that's not Ron Paul or Rand.

Lmk when the US Congress chants "death to Iran", The "orange faced windbag" is speaking of the US response after Iran attacks first.

You and acptulsa brought religion and God into this thread. Get your head out of your ass. Jesus was the peacemaker, but most people follow him due to the threat of eternal damnation. The descriptions of hell serve a similar purpose as the tough talk from Trump to Iran. If evil has no fear of retribution, evil thrives.

The Iranian parliament routinely breaks out in chats of "Death to America". Different things are different. Biden gives Iran anything they want and Trump will put a stop to that, yes Iran has a preferred candidate in this election and it is not out of line to believe assassination is being considered.

Again, what is the appropriate response if a foreign adversary successfully orchestrates and assassinates one of our political leaders? Ron Paul voted for the Afghanistan war authorisation. If GWB was assassinated by Iran, would Ron Paul vote to attack Iran? I think probably he would.

more news stories about Iran wanting to assassinate Trump. Once again, I ask, what is the appropriate response if Iran does assassinate Trump?

Even if true, why should I care about anonymous comments from over a decade ago? Fuck CNN!

These polls are really bad for Harris, way below 2020 and 2016 numbers. I really don't think pollsters have solved the shy Trump voter problem from prior elections. So expect Trump to outperform the polls again. I think he can win it.

"There's no religious problem between Jews and Muslims" Horseshit. Tell that to ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaida, ISIL. The stated goal of the Islamic Caliphate is to extend Sharia Law over the entire world by conquest, pillaging, raping, and subjugation. Pay the ransom called Jizya, and they might not kill you. Does Judaism have a similar goal? I don't think so. My view is Jews just want to secure their holy land for themselves. Different things are different.

Defense Secretary Mattis literally resigned because Trump ordered him to get the hell out of Syria, and Mattis ordered his lackeys to frustrate and slow walk the withdrawal order. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/10/james-mattis-trump/596665/ "The next day, he met Trump in the Oval Office. Mattis made his case for keeping troops in Syria. Trump rejected his arguments. Thirty minutes into the conversation, Mattis told the president, “You’re going to have to get the next secretary of defense to lose to ISIS. I’m not going to do it.” He handed Trump his resignation letter, a letter that would soon become one of the most famous documents of the Trump presidency thus far."

Butler PA was a kill shot, he would be dead if he didn't turn his head at the last second. Maybe you would prefer if he didn't survive?

Then why impeach him and try to kill him? If he was beneficial to the deep state he wouldn't even need SS protection. The bushs, Clintons, and the Cheneys have all been embarrassed and practically kicked out of political power. Thank you Trump!

I watched the 50min bullshit video and it has hundreds of lies and misrepresentations. I have a day job and don't have the time nor the interest in explaining it to you for the hundredth time. What I know is I was much better off during the Trump years, we had more peace, prosperity, and freedom than any President during my lifetime, and the deep state was in opposition to his actions every step of the way and have used every type of assassination against him. Character assassination, legal assassination, political assassination. And when none of that worked, they tried death by assassination. They do this to people that are a threat to the deep state. If he was no threat, they wouldn't bother with all this. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/09/three_types_of_assassination_the_desperate_effort_to_eliminate_trump.html

Thread title needs correction, it was a lower court that held must count undated ballots. The PA state supreme Court just overturned the lower Commonwealth county due to jurisdiction issue. https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/pennsylvania-supreme-court-ballot-lawsuit-20240913.html

I think Kamela narrowly wins the perception game due to the biased moderators. She was well prepared and Trump didn't do a good job challenging her or advocating for himself. Trump's closing statement was really bad.

They have a debt to society. I think they should have more worker protection and better treatment, but a key question that wasn't asked was did they prefer the work program or they could of stayed in prison 24/7. They received numerous benefits participating in the work program, so they either meet the requirements, or they can go back to prison.
