Free Republic

Why offer them any options? Some people don’t respond to reason. Just hit them hard until they completely stop attacking our vessels. That’s the only answer we’re looking for.

Exactly. It is probably the only thing that will make them stop. The rhetoric hasn't worked and probaby won't.

Schumer is just trying to get his radical street creds back. Should it amount to more than that, he needs a visit from the DOJ.

Let’s hope it is Reuters and not another stupid announcement/move.

Let’s call this what it is - a Boeing bailout.

That's certainly what it looks like.

Trying to control some piece of Ukraine’s infrastructure is a really stupid idea.

The only thing that has any meaning or gets results is consequences. Everything else is just noise.

Is the sea rising or the land sinking, given tectonic plates and all that?

Portly porcine Porter.

Protuberant also perhaps?

I just don't get the hate for a long-time ally.

Possibly it ls less hate and more of "Trump can do no wrong." We saw this phenomenon during the Bush administration.

I think it quite possible that there is an international flavor to this as well. America isn’t the only place harboring letches.

Does anyone else think one ingredient in that international flavor might be Israel/Mossad.

I’m afraid it’s gonna be a big nothing burger.....at least for now.

Having made a bet that there would be little or no transparency on the Epstein/JFK files, I hope I lose but don't think I will.

Give the people some and pay down the debt some.

So the royal society is a sniveling PAC?

I’ve said this once before some years back: “You need up-to-date forum software with like/dislike, editing, pic insertion, text control,serch and the like.

How about HELL NO to this stupid idea. Gaza is another swamp and we've already got a gargantuan one to drain that more directly affects our citizenry. FOCUS!

Yes, remove govt. from the college loan grift and watch junk colleges and programs disappear.

If Trump knows what he is doing, he will let the GAZA talk die starting now.

I agree. Gaza was an unnecessary distraction from the real prize - draining the swamp here, not in the Mideast. Unnecessarily pissing off your supporters isn’t the smartest move.

You don’t know Trump at all.

First, you've no idea what I do or do not know. Second, The U.S. which has a lot of need right now.should come first and foremost. Third, I don't think you have any idea about that part of the world. Unless there's some drastic change with Islam, the idea of Gaza as a resort or stable place is laughable. History is your friend.
