Yes, just like Jesus said to love they neighbor and he didn't make any exceptions if they were gay, trans, immigrants or because of their politics either. There is also no reference in terms of excluding anyone from due process.

But as we've seen, often times people use the constitution to get what they want and disregard it in other situations depending on what they "want, feel or think".

I don't really object to the death penalty as the final result. I don't however endorse ignoring and stomping on the constitution in order to accomplish that. Due process is a fundamental right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Everyone is due a trial and proper defense. Everyone.

Except immigrants held in detention centers or flown to third world countries per orders of DJT. Due process.... Ha. Ha. Ha.

I see no logical reason why people are opposed to this. It is basically privately funded. It is said no tax dollars are involved. Even I doubt it won't take some tax dollars. The only reason I see as any opposition is because it is proposed by President Trump and you can't or won't agree with anything he does, so I just pretty much just ignore your opinions on things.

It is not like the most powerful nation in the world can't afford the ballroom. The crux of the issue is that this is Trump's own idea slammed down the Americans throat with not one word or authorization from Congress or the various agencies that are responsible for taking care of our national treasures. Sorry, but Trump is not the remodeler in charge. He is a temporary tenant. The reason why it is "privately funded" is to avoid any oversight of the project. It's just wrong.

Stuff that Parisian arch up where the sun does not shine as well.

The new ballroom trump is proposing is 90k sq. ft. The Washington Hilton ballroom is 30k sq. ft.

No logical reason why people oppose the ballroom?......................

Trump said the new White House ballroom construction wouldn't 'interfere with the current building'

The president's quote from July 2025 circulated online as demolition began on the White House's East Wing in October 2025.

True

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-white-house-ballroom-construction/

A lot of people, and rightfully so, object to our president blatantly lying to us about disfiguring and destroying a part pf the White House without any prior approval. You know another one of those "king like" moves. But I understand there are those who think it's perfectly okay for trump to do things like that. I get it.

As far as the part I quoted, I would say that you can 'what if' anything to death if you wanted to. I could get shot walking out of work today, but I'm not going and grabbing law-abiding peoples' guns, right? So why here? And through answering the question of 'why', you have to somehow get past the complete lack of tangible evidence of fraud that rises to the level of taking away methods of voting.

I did a quick Google search, and clicked on the link below. There wasn't a ton of thought put into which link I clicked on other than it appearing to be the most legit.
https://www.congress.gov/116/meeting/house/108824/documents/HHRG-116-JU00-20190129-SD020.pdf

In that sampling, the largest bucket of voter fraud was associated with absentee ballots and duplicate registrations. Not mail-in ballots, or ballot drop-boxes, or hacked voting machines, or whatever other nonsense that gets discussed but isn't happening. I think (with the exception of voter ID, IMO) if the proposed election security actions lined up at all with the attempted fraud that we're seeing, then I'd have a much easier time getting on board with taking away peoples' preferred methods of voting.

As can you. It's possible we all can. Heaven isn't reserved for only the people who share your views and your politics. And from seeing the things you've been promoting I hope you can change directions to prevent that.

Point being, when a president who promotes and shows his hate towards anyone who questions or opposes him on a daily basis by calling them names, when he uses pressure and threats against his opposition, a man who circumvents congress in ruling by decree, who purposefully starves millions of children world wide by cutting off funds to feed them and I could go on.....

It is going to garner extreme blow back. And when you combine that with the state of our mental healthcare system in this country it only magnifies the situation.

If and when someone in power doesn't want to act like some evil villain every time they open their mouth that would help. While I understand trump has never read this, someone may wish to read it to him...... " for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. "

The fact that Hitler too had so many attempts made to end his life points out history has shown this to be true.

I certainly don't condone such actions. I don't think any form of political violence or as in this case, attempted political violence is the answer. When someone such as the president presents himself and poses as such a nasty figure there are things you can expect to happen.

And before you bring people up such as myself, I'm not the president. I'm not qualified to be president and don't claim to be. Usually normal people hold the president to a much higher standard than an every day citizen. Or at east make an attempt to be an example as a good and decent person as our leader. That ship has sailed and yet you seem to blame everyone else for it.

Do not attempt to apply logic to anything that comes out of Trump's mouth...

There is no logic, only half baked statements to get what he wants (the ballroom).

Re: Trump and his officials 'likely' targets of suspected gunman, acting attorney general says PitDAWG 04/27/26 05:30 PM
Here is what I find odd in all of this. The man in question here never entered the ballroom. There was no breach of the ballroom at all. There were no shots fired in the ballroom. Whether people question the security measures or not, the ultimate goal of keeping any threat out of the ballroom to the point no actual shots could be fired at any administration official was successful.

So in response trump claims this is proof of needing the ballroom at The White House for security reasons?

I propose that if in fact a new ballroom at the White House were completed and this same event had taken place there, if an armed man breached The White House grounds but were prevented from entering that ballroom, trump would be applauding that he was stopped from ever entering the ballroom because of what a great idea and plan he had and taking credit for it himself. He would be saying that look at how this ballroom was in fact not breached and the reason he was not shot at and was so needed.

So the fact that security did its job and the shooter never breached the ballroom is the excuse trump is now making for why he needs the ballroom at The White House? Nothing more than a ruse to get what he wants.

The world is inching closer to a global recession... All because of Trump and his ego.

It's that simple. Fact.

And the EU and ROTW is probably going to get more vocal about it. What Germany just did/said was the equivalent of screaming "WTF are you doing dummy" ... Diplomatic talk is not normally so blatant.

Re: Iran War II northlima dawg 04/27/26 04:59 PM
By Andreas Rinke and Kirsti Knolle

BERLIN, April 27 (Reuters) - German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Monday Iran's leadership was humiliating the United States and getting U.S. officials to travel to Pakistan and then leave without results, in an unusually abrupt rebuke over the conflict.



Merz also said he not see what exit strategy the U.S. was pursuing in the Iran war - comments that underlined deep divisions between Washington and its European NATO allies, which had already been festering over Ukraine and other issues.

"The Iranians are obviously very skilled at negotiating, or rather, very skilful at not negotiating, letting the Americans travel to Islamabad and then leave again without any result," he said during a talk to students in the town of Marsberg.

"An entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, especially by these so-called Revolutionary Guards. And so I hope that this ends as quickly as possible," he added at the venue in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

U.S. President Donald Trump has harshly criticized NATO allies for not sending their navies to help open the Strait of Hormuz during the conflict. The waterway has remained virtually shut, causing market turmoil and unprecedented disruption in energy supplies.



Merz reiterated that Germans and Europeans were not consulted before the U.S. and Israel started attacking Iran on February 28, and that he had conveyed his scepticism directly to Trump afterwards.

"If I had known that it would continue like this for five or six weeks and get progressively worse, I would have told him even more emphatically," Merz said, comparing it to previous U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hopes of reviving peace efforts have receded since Trump scrapped a visit on Saturday by his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Islamabad, the Pakistani capital.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi travelled to Russia on Monday after failed talks in Pakistan and Oman.

Merz said it was evident the Strait of Hormuz had been at least partially mined. "We have offered, also as Europeans, to send German minesweepers to clear the strait, which has obviously been mined in part," he said.

He said the conflict was costing Germany "a lot of money, a lot of taxpayers' money and a lot of economic strength."

I need to dig more into this before I really comment, but the little I read was that there are quite a few parallels between this incident and the last assassination attempt (namely, someone without the credentials getting WAY too close to accomplishing their deranged goals due to shortfalls in the performance of secret service and whoever else was in charge of security).

Re: Quarterback Defined bonefish 04/27/26 04:42 PM
The draft is now over.

Since free agency and now the draft the Browns have added this list of offensive linemen:

Titus Howard - T
Zion Johnson - G
Elgton Jenkins - G, C
Jack Conley - T
============
Drafted OL

Spencer Fano - T
Austin Barber - T
Parker Brailsford - C
===============

Receivers drafted:

KC Concepcion
Denzel Boston
=====================

Shedeur now has a golden opportunity to prove what he can do. He has gained a year in the NFL and had seven starts.

He has new weapons and an upgraded offensive line. He has to prove in 2026 that he is a capable NFL starter.

Not asking him to prove he is an All Pro.

Prove to the Browns that he is the guy you want to go forward with.

If not then next year we go back into the draft looking for a future quarterback.

Terrelle Pryor is definitely the comparison.

Here is something that is lost, in 2016 he had 77 receptions for 1007 yards and 4 TD's with the Browns. That was his best season as a reciever.

Terrelle Pryor was a bit of a mess from a personal standpoint, Green does not appear to have those type of issues.

I think Green would make the prefect QB to play in the Wildcat and trick plays. How he develops from there moving forward is anyone's guess.

As for Monken starting watson. If he has no more scruples than the rest of them regarding watson he can go too as far as I'm concerned.

When the leader of the free world is a known sexual predator, pedophile, a convicted felon, threatens genocide in Iran and has his thugs murdering US citizens for protesting his policies. Well that makes him a target for a lot of people all over the world now doesn’t it?

Actually that isn't what's going on. The "the hard line military" known as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard has always been in control and is controlled at the behest of their Supreme Leader. That was Ayatollah Ali Khamenei before he was killed. That is now his son Mojtaba Khamenei...................................

Senior Iranian lawmaker Ali Nikzad declared that the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its pre-war state, citing a direct order from the Supreme Leader. He dismissed Trump’s demands on Iran’s nuclear program, asking: “Who is Trump in the world to decide this?” The strait remains restricted amid a US naval blockade.

https://en.yenisafak.com/world/iran...&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=

They have said they will open the Strait IF trump removes the blockade of their ports however. That hasn't changed since trump took that action.

Their senior lawmaker just made that perfectly clear yesterday.

If Iran doesn't know who is in charge like trump claims, why would they be trying to broker a peace agreement with Iran? They would have no idea of they are even negotiating with who is running Iran. Here's a hint. When trump tells you something that doesn't make any sense, don't believe it.

Hey - Saw this the other day but have been tied up.

Not sure if your question is serious or not. The truth is we don't know and we can only speculate. The reality is I suspect that Trump's ego and narcistic personality prevents him from ever acknowledging ... well anything. I take the root cause of everything you said as: Trump can't stop his verbal diarrhea and talks utter BS many times. Just my 2 cents.

I agree. It isn't entirely over for him a Cleveland. If he looks good, Monken is going to play the QB he feels gives him the best shot at winning. Looking better than Shedufus isn't that high of a bar.

As for Green, I am not sure he will ever turn in to a good QB. I might have him go catch a few passes. He has all the attributes from a physical standpoint to be a stud #1 receiver in the NFL. As a QB he already has some idea of receiver routes.

I think he stands a better chance of studding out at receiver than even being a decent QB at the NFL level.
