Displaying 121 To 150 Of 18,974 Comments Dead Wrong: Good Guys with Guns do not Stop Mass Shootings Lol! A stone head as my mother used to say. Have had a lot of health issues thrown my way but why mope when I’m still alive. When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. I still clean my own house even after over 30 years of living with RA. I can’t see for monkey nuts but have always liked soft focus anyway. Am recovering from a surgery that saved my life a few months ago. I’m so grateful for what I have left even if it includes my Stein Kopf and a sense of humour I inherited from my dear mother. » Posted By Kalima On August 11, 2019 @ 3:51 pm Oh, my bad eyes started when I was sic after a childhood illness and I always wore glasses, then I developed cataracts and had both eyes operated on one year apart. After asking me if I wanted far vision or near, I told them near because I was short sighted. Unfortunately I can see much better far, but have blurred vision if I’m too close. From childhood I loved to read and that has become difficult. Bought The Mueller Report on Kindle and they have a Cloud reader so I can read a few pages in a day. It will have to do. The fact that we share the same ability to spot someone else’s spelling mistakes is funny. Well, let me wish you a peaceful weekend, and I should call it a night as hubby is off to Shanghai in the morning for work. Hopefully the deadly typhoon will have passed before he arrives. See you soon and take care. » Posted By Kalima On August 10, 2019 @ 6:18 am My eyesight is bad. I make mistakes all the time because I have to use a magnifying glass. Usually I catch them, sometimes I don’t. Yet I can often see mistakes in news stories and headers, so we are capable of doing it. Here at the Planet, nobody minds. » Posted By Kalima On August 10, 2019 @ 4:54 am Just caught it on my afternoon rounds. Doitashimashite! You are very welcome. » Posted By Kalima On August 9, 2019 @ 10:11 pm Happens to me all the time with Apple spell check. All fixed now. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On August 9, 2019 @ 9:35 pm Unmasking Jihadi Don: Anatomy of a Terrorist Obama nails it without mentioning trump’s name. Obama shares impassioned anti-Trump op-ed on Twitter — » Posted By Kalima On August 6, 2019 @ 7:30 pm Trump and his army of fools have no idea what the majority of Americans want because he doesn’t care. If he continues on this path of encouraging violence, he loses. If he continues to fail to live up to his campaign promises, there will be supporters who are suffering, who won’t vote for him again. His core base is 28% to 38% and if his only thing to run on is racism, he’s toast after Gilroy and El Paso knowing that both shooters were white supremacists launching his words into action. Yes, trump is the real terrorist. A recruiter-in-chief. A stain on America. A national security threat. He is also a weak coward who can’t personally fire anyone, and as with any schoolyard bully, gets others to do his fighting for him while he folds he arms and smirks as he watches. We’ve all met cowards like him before who can only blame the victims for everything he whines about. Trump is the disease and the hate and reign of terror he has instigated are the symptoms of his very sick mind. Anyone who votes for him after this, needs to accept that they are racists and support the domestic terrorism directed at the immigrant population. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. The thing that gets me about these people is that they will spend billions to buy suntanning lotions to sit on a beach or in their backyards to turn their skin brown. What’s up with that? — In areas where trump gave rallies in 2016, hate crimes were up 200%. The trump admin cut funding for the DHS agency looking into domestic terrorism. Rise of far-right violence leads some to call for realignment of post-9/11 national security prioriti » Posted By Kalima On August 5, 2019 @ 10:58 pm As you know, I called him America’s Bin Laden for the same reason yesterday on Time Out. He’s done more to embolden the white supremacy fringe since Wallace and his words today didn’t mean a thing because it’s plainly obvious he doesn’t believe them and wants the nazi vote next year. It was fake news from a fake president. Didn’t hear a peep about gun control in his TelePrompTer wall of lies. This crap about video games causing violence repeated by the repubs has been disproven multiple time and why isn’t it happening all over the world like in Japan where millions of people play games every day? Well firstly, we don’t have guns, and secondly, no leader would race bait or encourage violence against non Japanese, a different race or a different colour of skin. There is no religious persecution in civilised countries either. No Muslim ban. Trump’s sickness has infected the weak haters as much as any deadly virus ever could. He is a disease that needs to be eradicated. He has also defunded the Domestic Terrorism branch/agency. Now we know why. The media needs to stop asking stupid questions about trump and his words encouraging violence. Anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear know that his racist tweets and rally cries do encourage those who already hate to take it one step further. Just call it what it is. White supremacy. » Posted By Kalima On August 5, 2019 @ 8:14 pm Is the Insistence of Moderate Dems to Win Back Trump Voters…a Racial Thing? You are rude. This is not a site for competition or someone winning points if they aggressively push their pov thinking they are superior and know more about issues than anyone else. If you think we are an echo chamber when all you do is spend days on the same post arguing with other members who more than likely know more than you do, that is not the definition of an echo chamber. How would you know when you have engaged with so few members here anyway? Everyone is welcome, but they should leave their arrogance, aggression and ego at the front door. » Posted By Kalima On August 7, 2019 @ 2:05 am Enough of the snark about our members. Our “little comfy group” as you condescendingly call us, are members who have grown to respect each over time even if we have differing opinions. We don’t have to quote our accomplishment to try to win a debate either. It makes no difference why you came here, it’s how you react to other members and their opinion that is important. » Posted By Kalima On August 6, 2019 @ 8:14 pm The Mueller Hearing? Your Response…. Some rich people actually do amazing things for people who need help. This prick financed breitbart and created the monsters like bannon, miller, kellyanne and finally trump. He should be investigated. » Posted By Kalima On August 4, 2019 @ 10:15 pm Mercer’s toy, Cambridge Analytica was supposed to have disbanded but he just set them up under another name and they still do his dirty work. Crazy bugger that one. » Posted By Kalima On August 4, 2019 @ 9:44 pm No one said they were not going to vote for a Democrat or not vote at all. They were angry that with so much evidence against trump, an impeachment inquiry was not underway already. I think it is underway already despite Nancy’s stance. » Posted By Kalima On August 4, 2019 @ 9:38 pm They would not have voted for him and the Tories only lead by one seat after losing to the LibDems in a recent local elections. He will screw up and be toast soon enough. Only the anti-Europe racist pols support this clown. » Posted By Kalima On August 4, 2019 @ 9:20 pm Actually it was paid for by Putin, Robert Mercer and his Cambridge Analytica, Farage the racist and Far Right friend. In other words, the people who brought you trump. » Posted By Kalima On August 4, 2019 @ 8:51 pm I sometimes read the comments on Progressive sites and the majority are seething about the dithering of starting an impeachment inquiry. Most have read the Mueller report and know how damaging it is for trump. Unless someone like Elizabeth Warren is the nominee, it would be a tragedy to lose those votes because many are really angry, and the Dems can’t afford another 2016, nor can the nation. The outcome is not as important as the challenge Dems take on to expose trump’s continuing upheaval of the Constitution and the laws of the land. Who knows what future presidents might do if they are given carte blanche powers that defeat democracy to reign as a monarch over serfs. America has already fought that brand of power and rightfully defeated it. “Anyone entrusted with power will abuse it if not also animated with the love of truth and virtue, no matter whether he be a prince, or one of the people”. Jean de la Fontaine, poet (8 Jul 1621-1695) » Posted By Kalima On August 4, 2019 @ 3:21 pm Spot on, NoManIsAnIsland. Why is it so difficult to understand that being cautious with an opponent like trump who has no moral compass and is breaking every norm and every law on the books will lead to a win next year. Have their been too many obstructions, laws broken, Constitution shredding and gifting of the democratic election process to a foreign power for them to remember? Maybe they all need to read Mueller’s report again or open any reputable newspaper to see how his obstruction and blatant corruption destroys democracy on a daily basis. What more do they need to move on with saving America? There is far too much emphasis on what the outcome of an impeachment inquiry might be than what the outcome of Congress sitting on their hands letting trump get away with his crimes certainly would be. They are obligated by their sworn oath to uphold the Constitution. » Posted By Kalima On August 3, 2019 @ 6:43 pm These are extraordinary times where playing by the rules against an opponent who plays dirty and doesn’t follow any rules is damaging. To think that what has worked before will work now is normalising the threat and national emergency who resides in the WH. The landslide victory for the Dems was about issues but the urgency in people coming out to vote was about trump and holding him responsible. I am deeply disappointed with the inaction regarding the criminal in office, and the lack of concern from many Americans about what has been happening and will happen again if the cheaters steal next year’s election as well. The Dems are playing with fire and some will get burned. I can only hope it won’t cost them the most important and urgent election of their lives. Nothing is normal about the last 3 years and playing by the rules and not carrying out constitutional duties will make them look weak. Playing right into the hands of trump, the Russians, the traitorous gop, and all the RW rabble in between. Sorry, but nothing will make me change my mind about this and morality is something I look for in a politician I would vote for. It’s high on my list of attributes. Bearing this in mind, running around in circles won’t change either of our opinions so I think I’m done. Thanks for the conversation though. » Posted By Kalima On August 3, 2019 @ 5:10 pm If the debates are as uninspiring as the last two days, then maybe you don’t need all the ones still to come that will disappoint voters, and give trump any fodder to repeat out of context by, or perceived weaknesses of the remaining candidates. If they start to attack him, at some point he will have to defend himself and the indefensible. He’s really not good at that. Yes, I’m still in Japan where we are dealing with 36C and a heat index of 47C for the last week. It was good to be able to chat with you again too. Hope to see you back here soon. Goodnight. » Posted By Kalima On August 2, 2019 @ 10:41 pm Unfortunately the questions asked were geared to produce dog fights and the time allotted to answer questions was ridiculous. The mid sentence interruption was the height of bad manners. I can’t think of anything that would be better with so many on the stage at one time. Maybe it will improve once the thinning begins of those who really have no chance of winning. If the candidates keep up the infighting instead of attacking trump and his abuse of power and breaking the law, I believe that many votes will be lost from people who want to see strength, leadership, and a candidate who can point clearly to the difference between them and trump. The last debates showed weakness and lack of conviction that trump gleefully used during his wannabe authoritarian rally in Ohio. » Posted By Kalima On August 2, 2019 @ 9:26 pm If they don’t take on trump at every turn, then there is a chance he could win in 2020. If the Dem candidates are too stupid to take on trump in their debates and instead attack the legacy of most popular Democrat in the Party, Obama, when trump is a national emergency, why should anyone vote for them? » Posted By Kalima On August 2, 2019 @ 8:14 pm I agree, party over politics and not respecting your oath is far more damaging and it’s what the republicans do all the time. Why did the Dems have the largest win in 2018? Because the voters wanted them to take on trump and his corrupt presidency. To provide the checks and balances in an administration gone rogue. Where is the leadership that voters expected? » Posted By Kalima On August 2, 2019 @ 6:40 pm Good to see you again, NoManIsAnIsland. Yes, I believe I posted that on Time Out yesterday and I think that 16 of them decided to speak out after the Mueller hearing. This is a moral issue not a political one. On the other side, in the last two weeks, 6 republicans are resigning from the House but I doubt they have the guts to speak out against trump. » Posted By Kalima On August 2, 2019 @ 5:05 pm No more debate. Impeachment inquiry is underway | Ted Deutch » Posted By Kalima On August 1, 2019 @ 11:08 pm That’s quite a 180 degree turnabout compared to your recent reply to AdLib on Time Out four days ago. MurphTheSurf3 I share your disappointment and oddly that has put me into your camp….time to move on impeachment. An Impeachment Enquiry Special Committee will have the powers necessary to do what Mueller only hinted at…… » Posted By Kalima On July 28, 2019 @ 8:06 pm Well we will have to agree to disagree on impeachment. Life is too short to live it armed with “what ifs“. Nothing would ever get done. Dems must show actual leadership, that is why they won last year. It will come back to haunt them if they don’t. This is not the time for nail biting. It’s a time for integrity and doing the right thing no matter how long it takes. Mass protests work. We have them often in Europe. The constant pressure makes governments uneasy. » Posted By Kalima On July 26, 2019 @ 8:29 pm 100 Dems have come out for impeachment. 60% of republicans believe that Mueller conducted a fair investigation. Don’t have time to reply at length as it is my Saturday midday and I’m busy. — ‘Moscow Mitch’ is refusing to protect elections from Russia after ‘bribe’ from oligarch: Intel expert » Posted By Kalima On July 26, 2019 @ 8:13 pm Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath. The list of trump’s crimes against America would fill the Oval Office walls just from the Mueller report alone. There’s enough to impeach already and much more to come. I don’t believe it’s too late to impeach. That timeline is politically motivated when it should be a moral obligation to uphold the Constitution. If trump gets away with this continuing abomination, it will be the Dems that people will blame because the repubs are already corrupt to the core. The Russians are not Europeans and neither are the Brits. I pray every day because there is so much rot in the world but what is needed more is action like the people of Puerto Rico and the mass protests that made the corrupt governor resign. » Posted By Kalima On July 26, 2019 @ 4:36 pm The impeachment inquiry would give more access to many things they have been cheated out of by trump and barr’s continuing obstruction. The Intel Committee have the right to classified documents. The Ways and Means Committee have the legal right to obtain anyone’s tax returns, even the fake president’s. As for harnessing my energy to help candidates. I wish that I could but I’m European so it’s ilegal. Judging by my inbox every day, there are thousands of groups and millions of Americans who are working very hard to do exactly what you have suggested. » Posted By Kalima On July 26, 2019 @ 12:50 am There is much to investigate in Mueller’s report that it would be an injustice not to follow his detailed example. Trump failed his oath of office. He failed to protect the American people from an interfering hostile foreign power while instead encouraged it. Mueller called it a crime. Everyone in his orbit lied about it, including trump in his written answers under oath. Manafort, Flynn and trump tried to make money from foreign entities during the campaign. Trump can be indicted once he leaves. What more do they need to start an inquiry? Liar, bigot, racist and pathetically weak nut job. The other choice words I will not write here in case my cats read it. » Posted By Kalima On July 25, 2019 @ 10:26 pmComments Posted By Kalima

Give him another rally or bad news he wants to deflect from, and his race baiting begins again. He has nothing else to run on. He’s an empty vessel.
