When was the first time you said, "thank you for your service" to someone?

by Coded Logic in

mine was to some random guy in uniform i saw on the street about two years ago.

even as a jw i knew that we had a lot of freedoms here in the us that were hard earned.

it felt really good to finally be able to say in person to someone when i i did..

Wasanelder Once,

Do you think there are any other reasons you would be willing to use force outside of someone breaking into your house to harm you and your family?

For example, if you saw a women being raped would you attempt to stop the attacker? If you were unable to stop the attacker by yourself, would you get a group of people together to stop the attacker?

If you said yes to these - then you understand the principles of warfare.

We don't just fight wars in response to large scale attacks on our own persons or property. The US has fought wars for many reasons. Like stopping the genocide that was going on in Kosovo. Like stopping the Taliban from ruling and running terrorist operations out of Afghanistan. Or to protect a sovereign country from the invasion by it's neighbor Iraq.

Imagine if we had not fought Korean war. That too was called a "goalless battle with no purpose or end in sight". The entire Korean peninsula would now be under the control of the madman Kim Jong Un. Instead of Seoul being a city filled with prosperity and social freedoms it would instead be home to a population of starving and freedomless men, women, and children.

Imagine an Iraq still under the brutal mandates of Saddam Huessien? Or even worse - his sons!

There are many reasons we fight wars. A country doesn't have to bomb Pearl Harbor of fly planes into the Twin Towers for us to find force a necessary evil to stop an even greater injustice.

by Coded Logic in

washington — president trump asked the f.b.i.

director, james b. comey, to shut down the federal investigation into mr. trump’s former national security adviser, michael t. flynn, in an oval office meeting in february, according to a memo mr. comey wrote shortly after the meeting.. “i hope you can let this go,” the president told mr. comey, according to the memo.. the existence of mr. trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the justice department and f.b.i.

investigation into links between mr. trump’s associates and russia.. mr. comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after mr. flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo.

Yes, but it's a way from having uncovered some evidence. Unless someone is putting their name to it, then it's just an unsubstantiated rumour (sic).

Journalist only publish if they have at least two credible sources that can corroborate a story. You're just trying to marginalize the enormous impact of the report be redefining it with a weaker and pejorative term (i.e. "unsubstantiated rumor").

This is not an honest way to engage in debate.

Reuters just uncovered 18 more undisclosed contacts with Russia by the Trump Campaign from April to November.

Trump will bash the Chinese, the North Koreans, even our own allies. But wont say anything except total praise for Putin. It's all starting to make sense now.

“I knew that no one cared about losing a deputy attorney general. But no president could weather losing an FBI director.”
- James Comey 2007

I don't think anyone could ever have guessed how prophetic Comey's words would turn out to be. And the extraordinary thing is the FBI director Comey was referencing back then, Robert Muller, is the same guy who's been assigned as the Special Counselor to investigate Trump now.

They say knowledge is like a spiral staircase. Sometimes it goes full circle. But when it does - you're on a whole different level.

And what happens if against all odds he were actually not guilty of anything? Theoreticaly.

If the Trump Campaign was innocent that would be the best possible outcome. It would mean that the sanctity of our Democracy is intact. It would mean that the Russian attack failed. It would mean that we could finally get on with the business of governing.

Would you say, "If you have evidence of the Watchtower protecting pedophiles please give it to the media outlets and current investigations. If you have evidence you can have Watchtower shut down ASAP. The truth is there is no evidence yet."

There are a lot of you (bohm, sir, spoletta, coded logic and more) who have concluded he is guilty based on supposed "EVIDENCE".

I think the issue here is you seem not to understand how proper inference works. I don't have to see you rob a bank to have good reasons for thinking you might be involved. If I have you on tape saying, "I sure would like to have all the money in that bank" - if your immediate associates are being investigated by the FBI for the robbery - and if your bank account suddenly rockets into the millions - than yeah, I'd say there's a pretty good chance you might be involved.

This is the same position we find ourselves in with the Trump campaign. And when I say, "We have multiple lines of evidence all closing in on the fact that Trump's campaign colluded with the Russians" - that is NOT the same thing as "Trump is guilty".

It'd be really nice if you could engage honestly instead of just continually strawmaning people and attacking them for positions that they don't hold.

This is NOT a courtroom. There is no judge. There is no jury. This is a group of people talking about what they think is likely to have happened and what they think is likely to happen.

To object to a persons claims because it wouldn't result in a courtroom conviction is as silly as it is pedantic.

Hothabanero: You guys have been covering for Trump from the beginning. For you guys the conclusion is clear: Trump can do no wrong. It is the same argument every time you just change the subject to Clinton. Until Trump stops lying every single day and shows us his tax return, he has NO credibility in my opinion.

You act upset that Clinton put her e-mails on the wrong server - but when Trump hands Code Word information directly to the Russians he gets a free pass.

Simon sets the rules for this forum. He values the freedom of speech and freedom of contrary views. I hope that he allows you to keep posting even when he disagrees with you.

PS: If your going to put down other people's IQs - you might want to start using full words and sentences. Using "u" "4" "bf" as words doesn't exactly make you look too bright. Just sayin'.

Hothabanero is a real hoot!

We have multiple lines of evidence all closing in on the fact that Trump's campaign colluded with the Russians. I wish he would wake up and smell the evidence. He's fooled himself into thinking Trump can do no wrong.

IMO, Trump apologist should only get one post a day, just so we can see if they have finally come to their senses. Their constant conservative copy-pasting fake news is making it impossible to have a rational discussion.
