Those Israeli girls really knock me out.

After the dreadful “Django” and “Hateful 8” movies, I assumed Tarantino was irredeemably woke.

We’re through the Looking Glass, people.

The behavior in Federal buildings during the Kavanaugh hearings was even worse. As far as I know no one was prosecuted or even fined.

Banana republic stuff.

protesters have STORMED THE CAPITAL BUILDING, in the nation’s capital city…this week, to call for: a cease-fire, in the War in Israel.

That action is breaking the law.

Please, Federal government:

treat these people like: “deadly attackers”, and “traitors”, and “rioters”, and “deadly people who want to [overthrow] the government”, just like you did for the “January 6th” protesters.

Do some people think this situation is different? Maybe. But- a group of 4 or more strangers, angrily entering a building, while breaking the law, + demanding things from me or from others- is threatening, and that makes for a situation where the police need to be called in to keep everyone safe.

Breaking the law, and illegal entry into buildings, is not a right that anyone has.

p.s. Or, if you want to think of it in this way: entering a building and staying in it, to do illegal protests, is illegal.

OK. What’s the trick?

Putting words in a list with bullet points doesn’t give magical legitimacy to the words.

Ron Desantis is the governor of Florida. If the legislature or a majority of Floridians disagree with him using tax payer dollars to rescue Floridians from a war zone they will deal with it within the state.

Not everything has to be political. It’s entirely possible a Governor takes his role to serve and protect the citizens of his state seriously and acts to do what is in his power to help them when they are in harm’s way. Isn’t that what a Governor is supposed to do? Isn’t that the job? To miss the humanity and wonderful news that at least a few innocent people are no longer in a war zone because you are concerned it may hurt Donald Trump is not healthy.

Trump is up by about 40 points over Ron Desantis and the first GOP primary is still 1/4 of a year away. Desantis’ executive leadership in this situation will be forgotten by then. Relax.

“Maybe, just maybe take a half of a second to celebrate the fact that innocent children, women and men were transported from an extremely dangerous, hellish environment to safety,…”

• Strikes me that your appeal to the moral high ground would be more successful if you avoided using references to campaigns & candidates. (see “…before panicking over whether it causes Donald Trump’s poll numbers to drop 1/2 a point.”)

• Otherwise, it may be seen by some as a continuation of a conversation with a “political nature”, and an attempt to find fault with others for discussing the “political nature” aspects while you do so yourself – that may seem disingenuous to some. (see Captain Renault)

• Also believe that the news was worth noting on Oct 16, and Oct 18 – for the same reasons you noted. (see “…were transported from an extremely dangerous, hellish environment to safety, …”)

• See Neo’ Oct 16 Roundup: “(6) DeSantis expedites bringing Floridians back from Israel, and takes a very firm stand against receiving a single Palestinian refugee in this country”.

• See the two Roundup comments – neither of them disparaging of other campaigns & candidates.

• Lastly, I find more in common with your points – than not-in-common – which strikes me as a good thing. (see “I believe any actions taken to help are for the good.”)
