It's not exactly expensive...Who pays our Congress Members to continue supporting the genocide would be a more interesting question to ask.

Trump is a golf addict who has been flying back to play golf at least three times a week while he's been campaigning. Anytime he thinks he can squeeze it in between scheduled stops. There doesn't tend to be a lot of campaign stuff happening on Sunday. It doesn't take a genius to put that all together and realize that staking the place out on a Sunday would offer excellent odds of catching his target.

We expected someone who actually knows about health, Not that guy who tells you it's OK to eat those berries without knowing what the berries are and then argues with the botanist who warns you not to.

Most likely, but unclear.

Imagine being an adult who thought the name Digger-Nick was clever.

Because this is the real world not some childlike fantasy land. Move along and let the adults deal with this kid.

 @TheRandompaint The Romans (and a few other empires) also had Governors of Palestine in the region at different times...

 @Joefoss61 Give it up. They don't have the intelligence to even comprehend that they're cultists.

A simple analysis of the I D F's battle plan in Gaza will show you that this has never had anything to do with the hostages.

We'd be better off without the sick twisted people who support a monster like Netanyahu.

Childlike minds like to be told what to do and that daddy will make it all better. That way they don't have to feel responsible for anything.

Israel's invasion has never been about the hostages... a simple look at the battle plan they employed will show you that. It's barely even been about H a m a s.

@JanetCarter-s7e Where is Israel? The current pretender nation has no actual ties with the long extinct Israel of the past. The people who consider themselves Palestinians had been living there longer than the modern farce of Israel has existed.

@iTazman2 Because it's much cooler than giving them a good bolt action hunting rifle. Kid can brag about an AR 15.

Trump has betrayed the Republican party with his Neville Chamberlain approach to terrorism and the nuclear dictatorships of the world and thus is seen as a threat to national security by many of, or once of, the party. He's also ridiculously naive when it comes to military matters and afraid to act decisively as a result. Liberals may despise him, but actual betrayal when it comes to ones own party can evoke feelings a bit harsher from those who feel betrayed.

As long as US businesses, schools, and government continue to support Israel, protests will be warranted.

@AddamsMUNSTER_Family-DJ-VADIKA I beg to differ on that. Unlike his, mine isn't a childish attempt at racist humor. Edit: In case you've never seen this particular edgy screen name before, here's a hint... swap the first letter of each word.

 @Digger-Nick What's to address? Your original comment is a pointless deflection itself and has nothing to do with Israel's current campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

@vincentsgaming An AR is no a regular weapon. It's specifically designed for increased muzzle control for higher accuracy when rapidly firing and is meant for use with high capacity magazines. In other words it's optimal use is for maximum damage in minimum time against many targets. Suboptimal for everything else. A "normal" weapon is a hunting rifle without a pistol grip and a reasonable amount of ammo capacity for the task, a pistol for self defense, or a target variety of either for target shooting. AR's are glorified status symbols for immature gun enthusiasts who like to make a lot of noise for the sake of making noise. It's also a toy for mid-life crisis that can be pimped out with all sorts of pointless unnecessary bells and whistles that can be added. Much cheaper than getting a sports car...

@supernovaexpress5241 The 2nd amendment was meant solely to prevent the federal government from disarming a state's militia and was only meant to apply to the federal government. States and local governments were always intended to be able to restrict arms how they saw fit. That was made abundantly clear at the Constitutional Convention where it was written. It wasn't until much later that SCOTUS decided to legislate from the bench and make firearms uncontrollable in any feasible sense.

@allen_p It had a pistol grip for increased muzzle control at rapid fire rates and was designed for high capacity magazines. Optimal for causing big messes fast. Suboptimal for pretty much all other common uses of private firearms. If anything earns the label of assault rifle, it does. Want to hunt, get a good bolt action and learn how to hit your target. Want to protect yourself, get a pistol. Want to wreck s&$& get a gun like the kid was given. Call it what you like but those types of rifles serve no purpose for private owners other than as toys for immature gun enthusiasts compensating for something or going through a mid-life crisis and can't afford a sports car...or both.

@allen_p If you knew the true intent of the 2nd amendment as made clear at the Constitutional Convention and ignored by SCOTUS much later, you'd know that states were always intended to be able to regulate them however they saw fit. The 2A existed only to prevent the federal government from disarming a state's militia. Once, the militias were gone, it should have been repealed as obsolete and replaced with a functional version adapted for modern times.

@PNW.sparky He said assault weapon...not rifle. Though the definition of assault rifle should be expanded to include any rifle with a pistol grip and designed for a high capacity magazine (15+) as such a design is meant to do maximum damage in minimal time without auto or burst fire...the only significant aspect missing from the assault rifle definition and easily remedied or mimicked with mods. AR 15s definitely aren't meant to be hunting rifles (well for anyone who can hit with their first shot), are unwieldy/overpowered as self defense weapons, and there are much better options for target shooting...so what other classification is really left for civilian use.

@PNW.sparky Semi-auto pistols are nowhere near as accurate at range as a rifle and should be limited on their magazine capacity. Also, pistols, due to the grip necessary, are not as easy to control their muzzle, further limiting accuracy. They also generally don't have as powerful of rounds as rifles. Give an active shooter an AR 15 in a particular situation and the casualties will be significantly higher than with a semi-auto pistol (without mods/designed parts to make a pistol simulate a rifle...like a brace and high capacity magazine etc.) That is because that is what an AR 15 style rifle is designed for. Mass carnage. Pistols not so much. Also, a semi-auto rifle without a pistol grip for added control and high capacity magazine is again, suboptimal for mass carnage.
