    “The right is stirring up hate - and it’s getting worse” FTFY. There’s nothing that’s good that they’re not turning their legion of fools on.

    Yeah, well Qatar building an air base on American soil is sure to be a popular move. I’m sure it will help the average Muslim immensely

      Qatar isn’t building a base. We’re constructing space for them on an existing base in Idaho to train F-15 pilots. This is normal. Pensacola Naval Air Station trains allied pilots from all over the world. I’ve seen them IRL.

        I think it’s adorable that you think reality matters.

        Laura Loomer has already condemned to action, and I’m pretty sure she’s not the sort to let facts get in her way.

        But thanks for clarifying the situation for those of us who can handle facts.

          I cannot parse that mess of a comment. In case you change it:

          Laura Loomer has already condemned to action, and I’m pretty sure she’s not the sort to let facts get in her way.

          She condemned to [sic] action, she’s a liar, she’s telling the truth on this one. ?

          No idea what that fruitcake has to do with any of this. Can you point to a non-factual anything in my comment? Cut out any bit you like. Show me where the lie touched you. Don’t insinuate anything! Reply to the words I stated.

            I think dagwood there is agreeing with you, but saying that you present the facts as though the propagandists might correct the narrative if they understood. Dagwood thinks that’s naiive, and trots out Loomer as an example of the bullshit at work.

            How’d I do?

                Whew! Took my dumbass a minute, and an explanation to parse that. Still a little confused.

                OP made a false statement which I corrected. No, facts don’t matter in the wider world, but they mostly do around here. I mean, this place isn’t exactly FaceBook.

        I’m sure the very public and blatant bribery and corruption had nothing to do with this. Stop justifying the actions of the most corrupt administration in history. Please

          Well, yeah, giving Trump a crappy plane that will cost more to bring up to snuff than it’s worth was obvious bribery. So, what’s the exact issue with training these particular allies on an American base? As I stated, this is normal.

            Ikr, both country loves slavery. Nothing should be stopping these salvers dictators from becoming best buddies. Maybe next you can bring some Taliban over to train them, you already train with IDF, what’s another authoritarian state funding extremists, am I right?

              My point stands, on paper we are allies, said paper signed by Biden.

              And the Taliban/terrorist angle is silly, and borderline racist. I’m no fan of any Muslim nation, but I asked for issues, not speculative fiction.

      I think the blatant corruption of this angers the left and the racism angers the right so everyone hates this decision

    They have to keep stirring up anger to keep their base from cooling down enough to think level-headedly. It’s why the targets are always rotating, but the bullshit is the same.

    Oh, and leftist atheists are all just “the right” because we don’t want any extremist hate religions infecting society. Not just islam, but christianity, judiaism, mormonism, scientology, hinduism, etc… All of them.

    Because there’s thousands of years of history backing up the current events, showing that religions do FAR more harm than good to individiuals and society.

      I’d like to think that being atheist entails deconstructing and dismantling religion through less volatile means than that guy in Germany prior to the election. To name an example.

      Not to say that drastic action isn’t called for when it’s the literal planet at stake and at least one major culprit has the backing of bloodthirsty Christians among others.
