The man who would replace Netanyahu, Benny Gantz, considered to be a left-wing Israeli politician, will do the same things that Bibi has been doing... ya know, considering it is a unity government and all. The leftists who think they'll get their way in allowing Hamas to survive by getting rid of Netanyahu really are ignorant.

These are the people that the leftists want to continue to govern Gaza and the West Bank... sickening.

That's corporate socialism, not communism. As someone who lives in the US, I don't know anyone who would call that communism. #americabad I guess?

Being required to disclose tax records could potentially violate a candidate's Fifth Amendment rights. At the very least such a requirement would require a Constitutional amendment.

To be fair, the man is traveling constantly right now. I'd be exhausted if I were almost 80 and flying all the time.

What if Israeli government sites were located inside the homes of Israeli civilians? What if Israeli military sites were located underneath Israeli hospitals? Would that grant Israel immunity against Iran? Because your line of reasoning would be that the only way to prevent war is to put civilians in harms way, as Hamas has done repeatedly.

It's not retaliatory unless Israel has (recently) attacked Iran, which they haven't. It should be considered revenge, not retaliation.

Presumably Israel will respond in force. I'd hate to be living in Tehran right now.

A violent riot is not the same as terrorism.

Tencent only owns 20% of Discord's shares, hardly a controlling amount. If you really don't want to give a dime to Tencent (and I certainly don't), you'll pretty much have to stop using the internet or playing video games.

There's no correlation between the violent crime rate and firearms regulations in the US.

That's a bit disingenuous. The actual legislation doesn't mention this issue at all, and one of the co-authors has even come out and said that the ATF's reliance on that law is perversion of the intent of the legislation.

Anything involving a constitutional right should have significantly more say by elected officials and significantly less say by agency bureaucrats.

No other constitutional right is as heavily-regulated as the Second Amendment. The idea that one needs to ask permission from the government before exercising a constitutionally-protected right is anathema the entire concept of inherent rights.
