As Americans and the country that claims to be leader of the free world I believe it is our foremost duty to be better than our enemies. To treat all human beings with respect. To treat them all the way we would like our own combatants treated. I do fault Obama for ordering so many drone strikes that cost civilian lives. It's one of his major weaknesses. The major weaknesses of both of our major political parties.

Legal or not, torture is wrong. As soon as we start treating others as less than human, we become a little less human ourselves.

We do not dictate our policy on what benefits other countries the most. Our governments sole role is the protection and support of its own citizens.


Ummm have you seen our foreign policy the last 50 years?

Or are you just speaking as an ideal


In the past two weeks, we've LITERALLY stirred up a hive of anti-American sentiment among Middle Easterners by A. going back on our word with the Iran deal for no reason other than spiting Obama, and B. moving our embassy to Jerusalem and getting dozens of Palestinians murdered in the process. But yeah, protection and support of Americans.


You're blaming Americans for Palestinians rioting?...

They could... not. We didn't force them to go outside and do this.


I'm blaming Trump for making spiteful, incendiary decisions that rile up the Middle East against us for no reason other than anti-Muslim bigotry and a desire to erase President Obama from history.


It belongs in Jerusalem anyway...

If these people thought THIS was a sword worth (in this case, LITERALLY) dying on, there really was no help for them anyway.

How it is spose to be


True story, I was gonna respond to this with a sphiel about how no country is an island but then I realized some countries are actually just islands

Regardless, what if I, as a citizen, dont want it to be the way its spose to be?

It is opposing opinions, but you cannot really fault the opinion of that being the way someone sees it properly. It is the foundation of our government.

I'm just saying...

You're someone who believes in being tough on radical Islamic terrorists, right?

Maybe we, as a nation, shouldn't be making showy gestures designed to highlight just how shittily we want to treat one of the largest religions in the world, either by instituting an Islamaphobic travel ban, or by reneging on a deal with Iran for no real benefit to America, or by spitting in the face of Palestine by casually moving our embassy with little regard for the actual implications of such a move.

Keep in mind, I'm not saying the crazy hard-liners that are all "Death to America" are ever going to be swayed in our favor. They're conservatives, and we all know how stubborn religious conservatives are. But maybe just maybe we shouldn't feed into their "Death to America" narrative via constant shitting on the entire group, thus giving reason for neutral Muslims who grew up in a globalizing world to take the violent assholes more seriously.

Ooh, this is a good one. We're the number one country for gun deaths, so surely if the goal is protecting American lives, then limiting access to gun should be one of MWC's top priorities.

It wouldn't be enough though universal healthcare would be the optimal system. Most agree on that. Most including Trump and Clinton just do not see how it is possible economically.

Clinton, Bush, Obama all promised to move the capital to Jerusalem.

None of them ended up doing it. Trump is just the first who kept his word on it.

"Let me be clear. Israel's security is sacrosanct. It is non-negotiable.

"The Palestinians need a state that is contiguous and cohesive, and that allows them to prosper but any agreement with the Palestinian people must preserve Israel's identity as a Jewish state, with secure, recognised and defensible borders.

"Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided. I have no illusions that this will be easy."

^ I mean, who do you think said the above quote.

That's just it though. None of them did it. They may have talked about it. But actions are more important than words. If Obama had moved the embassy I'd have criticized him for it. I'm not going to criticize him for something he said he was going to do that I don't think he should do that he didn't actually do.

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/06/23/public-support-for-single-payer-health-coverage-grows-driven-by-democrats/

The issue of the governments responsibility in ensuring health coverage remains deeply divisive politically, according to the new survey, conducted June 8-18 among 2,504 adults. More than eight-in-ten Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents (85%) say that this responsibility falls to the federal government, while about two-thirds of Republicans and Republican leaners (68%) say it does not.

How does pulling out of the Iran deal help America? Based on what I've read, we've already unfrozen the assets seized from Iran, so they've already gotten those back as part of the deal. Pulling out at this point does little to help America other than allowing Iran to restart their nuclear program in the knowledge that America's president hates them. There is no benefit at this point.

We shouldn't have pulled out of the Iran deal despite it being a bad deal, imo. What's done was done there already.

I definitely was wrong on that. No idea what I was looking at.

I do not think single payer healthcare is our government's "responsibility" to provide, but I do agree with going to that method as the best for our country.

The importance is to offer equally to everyone.

Just like living stipends. They are fine if EVERYONE receives them.

When you start saying only the poor or so and so should receive shit, you lost me completely.

Just pointing this out from one year ago today:

FIVETHIRTYEIGHT - Even The Biggest Scandals Cant Kill Party Loyalty

Overall, though, the lesson from history is simple. In the wake of Comeys firing, Democrats are encouraging Republicans to put country over party. In making this call, they are essentially asking congressional Republicans to do something politicians historically have not: push for punishments and the potential removal of a president from their own party.

One year later and it's still true: it's on America to vote for how they want impeachment hearings to go, not just count on the President's party to turn on the President.
