One of trumps puppet masters.

Thanks for actually taking the time to clarify what you meant. It does help me gain some perspective even though in this particular instance the extra information didn't necessarily bring me closer to your position. A

ll good if you don't want to answer, but I do have two followup questions for now.

1. Are you genuinely interested/curious as to why I used those descriptors with respect to Levett?

No worries if the interest isn't there -- just trying to gauge whether there's a will to delve deeper into this Levett topic or not.​

​

Now for this next part I want you to be totally honest in your assessment of me (nothing is off limits - I won't judge or try convince you against your answer):​

2. How do you feel about the nature of my prodding questions, or even just me in general?
For example: Do you often feel I only ask questions in bad faith? Do you feel they are pedantic or worthwhile? Some examples of my 'prodding questions': 'could you clarify ', 'what did you mean by __', 'list particular examples of what __ refers to', etc.

I know you were referring to left-aligned press when raising 'gotcha questions'. It just made me wonder how exactly the pro-Trump/pro-MAGA folk perceive me on here and perhaps why.

Don't have to of course; also the floor is open for anyone to jump in

Well, must admit H27 it's good seeing some self reflection from one of our opponents of the left. I don't usually read all of your posts in it's entirety, I'll speed read every paragraph, I usually get the point you are making fairly quickly tho. Brookie usually gets a reaction from you, maybe you and him have a lot in common except politicaly of course. Not to much to add really, you obviously need more words than most to get your points across. No one really answers questions in bad faith it all comes down to what you believe in.

A pushover, as to get her ratled and lose her train of thought. And all credit to her, this has never happened. Of course, Trump is going to have a PS who isn't going to be meek and mild, it's a pool of Liberal sharks in the briefing room, any sign of weakness and you'll be torn apart. You've put a lot of labels on her, most don't make sense, deceptive isn't one of them. She answers every loaded question to the begrudging Liberal press eagerly waiting there turn to try and trip her up, but never do. Leavitts a natural, she's prepared and briefed and more than ready to bat away those tiresome gotcha questions with a scortching reply and a steely stare.

All parties concerned and including Trump and his negotiating team can still feel well pleased and vindicated with this present Gaza standoff but unfortunately still on a knife edge with the precarious nature of a very complicated situation in play there
Wouldn 't trust Netanyahu one bit in terms of putting any longer term stability ahead of his own preservation and keeping out of prison and the temptation to let things flare up there again to distract some attention if his or any unfavorable legal situation comes to the fore again for him
Just as much the volatile situation still in Gaza with rival melitta groups but with Hamas still dominating there
Anyway , Trump has surprised recently keeping Netanyahu more in line insisting that he would simply not tolerate any Isael A D F efforts to gain full control of Nth Gaza to permanently prevent a 2 state solution , so that can only be a plus
Really going to need much more international participation and especially from Europe to step up to try and keep some longer term order
Looks like Trumpie has accepted that the Ukraine situation will only be resolved with Russia finally gaining a pretty decent buffer against any further Nato expansion their way .
Probably could even be in the process of doing some deals with Putin on any potentially valuable rare earth areas which will be soon in the Russian orbit on current indication in Ukraine "s eastern areas
Had a few more mischievous intentions [ Putin ] initially in early 2022 in trying to establish a new and very favorable Russian inclined regime in Kiev but no Russian , ex Soviet or American president could accept or tolerate very offensive weapons and nukes right on their doorstep
U S or N O - U S president again would ever allow it on their Canadian or Mexico borders , just as Kenedy could not with Cuba and at the same time America had Nukes based in Turkey aimed at the old U S S R which they had to secretly withdraw at the time to get a crucial resolution
A good 30 or more % of Ukraine has or always was commonly accepted again , very or quite pro Russian , so really is not going to be an issue long term for the changed boundaries to come there in due course
Why NATO had to go from 19 to 32 odd members after the fall of the Soviet Union and push or try to , right to the Russian eastern border just defies logic and now has pretty much caused the worst conflict in Europe since W W 2

The grubs are back doing what they do best.

Breaking promises and killing people. Will the peace last?

Waiting for the "It's all Israel's fault" accusations in 3,2,1...

The lefts own Bill Maher telling it like it is. Absolutely spot on.

I wonder if you will acknowledge this at all? @Eagle 1 as you liked the previous video I am sure you would like the context

 

[lsz]

I dont necessarily agree with what she said however we should add the context of what she said as well ,rather than just the sensationalist highlight.
Leavitt's statement was made in the context of criticizing NYC candidate Mamdani's refusal to condemn Hamas during his Fox interview, but she expanded it into a sweeping characterization of the entire Democratic Party's base. The comments drew immediate and widespread condemnation from Democrats and some journalists as inflammatory, divisive, and potentially dangerous rhetoric from an official White House spokesperson. Critics argued it was inappropriate for a government official to characterize roughly half the American electorate in such terms.

Mamdani is a divisive socialist wierdo himself, having in the past called for Police defunding,refusal to condemn the term globalise the intifada ,all sorts of socialist interventions into various areas like Grocery shops, rental freezes, creating various LGBTQI authorities and departments ,legal representation for every illegal immigrant etc etc you get the picture .

Anyways Leavitt is a ferocious and capable prosecutor for her cause and as someone said she doesn't miss ,although maybe went a little hard on this one

Re the context what about the recent report of her stating "your mom"

And to think the way the right carried on about "basket of deplorables"

Karoline Leavitt says ‘Your mom’ when asked who picked Hungary for Putin-Trump talks

Trump said he will meet with the Kremlin leader in Budapest to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine

There is a need to tone down the rhetoric. There is a need to have respect back in politics

The President...

No problem with your observations, there's elements that I don't strictly disagree with.

Skim reading is fine - we are all doing better than your average poster on a Facebook/Twitter/Youtube discussion thread. That said, Silvertails is still a shortform discussion format, so the onus is on me to make a more conscious effort to cut back in future posts.

you obviously need more words than most to get your points across.

This is interesting to me and worthwhile to hear. Internally I tend to critique my posts for the opposite reason; i.e. they each tend to address too many separate or adjacent ideas. Nonetheless, your view is valid. It still indicates to me that my posting style is ineffective, watering down ideas and/or making them incoherent. I have considered addressing separate points in separate posts, although I am conscious that we shift to new topics on a daily basis.

Brooksie and I do share some similarities. In other ways we can resemble oil & water. Same probably goes for us all. His political beliefs were one thing, although what really drew me to this thread (and continually does so) is the curiosity of what and why.

Why was that said? Where did that idea come from? Is that actually true? What is the response like when presented with case studies or statistics that suggest otherwise? etc.

Weary that I just finished discussing the topic of political reductionism, I have made it clear in the past that my belief is that the MAGA movement intertwines cult and politics. I come to Silvertails to question that belief. Unfortunately for me, curiosity kills the cat.

How do you feel about the No Kings protest?

If you don't fully understand it - or hold it in a bad light - I promise the speech below won't bite. It helps to gauge what the protests are about.

As opposed to what? A young person screaming "from the river to the sea" without knowing which river or what sea they are yelling about? Never mind, when albo was asked the same question he couldn't answer it either. I will gladly support the old man shaking his fist at the sky in this instance.

I guess we are through the lifting the state of political discourse.

I wonder what lasted longer

The "lift in political discourse" or the usual "not the time to talk politics" after a gun massacre?

How Israel plans to continue the war without its army

As tanks withdraw and the bombing slows, Israel extends its war through Palestinian militias turned against their own.

aje.io

Oh look, it's Israel's fault that Hamas are now fighting other Palestinian barbaric extremists. According to Al Jazeera it's all part of the Zionist plan. The ongoing murder of Palestinians by Palestinians is how Israel will keep the war going in Gaza after withdrawing their tanks and troops. That is what Al Jazeera are reporting. Sadly, mindless haters will lap up this nonsense.

Palestinians killing Palestinians doesn't fit the anti Semitic narrative.

Public executions no less.

Unbelievable but true.

Given the amount of ill-informed nonsense posted on here ... the only recourse is to have a laugh ... and take the piss ..
