All Third Eye Blind, the '90s rock band, wanted to do Tuesday night was play its songs at a charity event at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame near the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Plus trash Donald Trump. Republicans certainly weren't feeling it. The band drew a round of "boos" after the lead singer, Stephan Jenkins, began speaking in support of LGBT rights and hinted at his dislike for Trump. "You can boo all you want, but I'm the motherfucking artist up here," Jenkins told his audience. Some fans were dismayed that the band didn't play its hits like "Semi-Charmed Life," as cleveland.com reported. Source | ||

ISIS is a militarized state acting as a direct aggressor against other states. So I don't see where the issue of preemption comes in for my point. | ||

This is consistent with what he's been saying all along, that the people in the media who came out saying "I'm not interested in the VP position" were never in the running for it, usually referring to Rubio and Kasich. I would take NYT's anonymous Kasich staffer with a grain of salt, it doesn't sound like the vetting process described by Gingrich at all. | ||

You just cited one reporter for a paper that has been around for 164 years. And they reacted professionally to the discovery that he made up those claims and took steps to make sure it didn’t happen again. That one novice reporter does not destroy the credibility of the entire paper. | ||

pakistan isn't part of the discussion, so I'm not sure what you're tlaking about. I've been quite clear about things. This discussion all started over an airstrike killing civilians in syria. | ||

Take your pick. so in other words, you have NOTHING at all; except a foolishly biased opinion. And a poor understanding of the relevant law/legal standards. And a poor understanding of what treason is. | ||

So the analysis runs: the Nazis were elected by the German people and were the legitimate state authority. Please run down that analysis for ISIS for me. ISIS was not elected. The people of Pakistan, as far as I know, have not asked for our help in deposing (i.e. through drone striking) illegitimate ISIS state officials or state military within the borders of Pakistan. I just don't see how your position is in any way analogous to WW2, and it just seems like you are making up the rules as you go with the only condition being that the life of one US citizen is more important than innumerable lives of foreign innocents. This should be simple application of basic Just War theory. | ||

I didn't bring up pakistan; pakistan isn't part of the discussion, and you've provided no basis for adding pakistan to the discussion. You're making up stuff I never said or implied, and in quite a rude way, when I have been very civil (in regards to your accusation of ignoring the lives of foreign innocents also). If you stop trolling and apologize I will resume discussion with you. | ||
