    It's Trump who appeals to Jew-hating bigots. You know, the sort of "very fine people" who wave Nazi flags or take up tiki torches and go on the march to chant that Jews will not replace them.

    What comments by them do you find anti semetic?
    What legislative attacks on Jewish pekple have they made? Or are you pretending that not supporting Israel is racist?

    You ever notice that Trump looks like a badly distorted sex doll every time he opens his mouth?

    You can not support Israel and have no issue with Jewish people.

    Absolutely embarrassing.

    Interesting hypothesis, but it doesn't stand to reason that Hamas rockets could ever eliminate Israel.

    Sure, but to advocate for the destruction of Israel, directly or indirectly, is to advocate for genocide.

    You MAGAs don't understand.

    Trump's influence on the GOP is irrelevant.

    The issue here is that Trump, by his stubbornness to always be the center of attention, is preventing the GOP from renewing itself.

    Trump will never allow an elected official to overshadow him and even if he were to play kingmaker, no Trumpist candidate can hope to be a threat to Biden in 2024.

    In the meantime, Trump triggers internal wars in the party where there are pragmatists on one side and MAGA on the other.

    So don't tell me that this is a good time for the Conservatives.

    This pisses me off. Mitch is a good leader, better than Trump by far

    Trump, love him or hate him, he is divisive. This proves it. I thought Trump shined on the boarder and some (SOME) foreign policy but his stance on guns and civil rights shouldn’t be supported.

    Sticky Fingers is easily my pick for the best Stones studio album. Regarding Trumpsters infighting with McConnell and the OP's hope that it will be public and bloody, well, I concur, by all means: Let It Bleed! Gimme Shelter, the theme song for Altamont and the end of 1969 - is just as awesome and relevant today as it was in 1969.

    Gimme Shelter is probably my favorite Stones tune, but it's real hard to pick; too many.

    The band did a pseudo-investigative documentary called Gimme Shelter. It's an examination of Altamont. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it.

    The Iron Dome is our technology and we have no real way of testing it except by giving it to a nation under constant attack. Consequently, it is beneficial to both the USA and Isreal.
    It's not just paying for Isreals defense, it's research and development.

    It's mutually beneficial but the squad is more interested in making it harder and harder for Isreal to defend itself than they care about Americas defense as well.

    I am not interested in paying for Isreals weapons but this is entirely a defensive tool.

    There will never be peace without a Palestinian solution, and I'm gonna guess that's what these woman support.

    No it’s not. They can pay for it. Hell they should be paying us for it.

    Kind of nuts. Mitch McTurkeyneck has done more for the evil republican agenda than anybody else in recent history.

    So you think a Palestinian solution is one where Isreal cannot protect its citizens from missiles? Do you know what the Iron Dome does?

    That's fair, so long as they can afford it and we aren't price gouging them like medicine you need to survive.

    Seen it a few times, I'm pretty sure I have it on DVD. It was must see on the midnight movie circuit among my peer group, along with the Song Remains the Same. I think those two were pretty much it. No. Wait. Tommy was another one. And A Clockwork Orange for some odd reason seemed to have slipped into the mix. A horrid overrated piece of s flick I have come to conclude. Rocky Horror of course....

    Way too many songs and albums and artists to pick superlatives.

    Check this tune out - how about this though, I was watching a movie, Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky and I heard this tune in the soundtrack and I was like, wait, what? - that's a Stones tune! How do I not know this song? Check it out. It's pretty excellent. Keef or Wyman get their guitar sounding like a synth. Cribbing Trance GOA sounds way back in the early 80s is pretty wild stuff, even though it wasn't until 20 years later that Crowe grabbed it for his movie. Heaven is the title, I think it's about the joy of having your very own little kids running around, which is kinda cool, senses be praised!



    All of my friends that support Trump and share my roots to this type of music, meh, pfffft. GFY, is all I have left to say to them. Let it Bleed.
