Lord of Planar said:
So why did he say it?

Are you agreeing he is misrepresenting facts at a trial?

Thanks for confirming again that he never warned of a Russian attack on our mainland.

You do know what the word "warned" means, yes? Let me help you out:


warned; warning; warns



Definition of warn



transitive verb


1a : to give notice to beforehand especially of danger or evil

Warn | Definition of Warn by Merriam-Webster

Yes, I hear him say that. Now tell me when he said that Russia was going to "attack us on our mainland".

He didn't say "Russia was going to "attack us on our mainland". What he did say, exactly, was " “The United States aids Ukraine and her people so that we can fight Russia over there so we don’t have to fight Russia here.”

Fighting Russia here means where to you? Someplace else? Or does 'here' mean in the United States, where the speech was taking place.

Do you know where the US mainland is? It's where Adam Schiff was speaking when he said "so we don’t have to fight Russia here". "Here", in this case. meaning the US mainland.

Yes, I am agreeing he didn't say "mainland," but his words "fight Russia here," unlikely means anything else. What else would he mean?

Again, separate the headline from what we were arguing. Did he or did he not say "so we don't have to fight Russia here."

So he never used the word "mainland'. Was that your point all along, even though he clearly meant it? It was not a lie either because Adam Schiff was speaking from 'the mainland'.

Why is this even an issue for you?

What do you think Schiff meant when he said " “The United States aids Ukraine and her people so that we can fight Russia over there so we don’t have to fight Russia here.”

He meant what he said.

You have yet to show the warning he supposedly gave. Do you know what the word "warn" means?

He may have meant what he said but there seems to be some dispute over the meaning and interpretation of his words and statement. Therefore I'm asking you what you think he meant by that statement because you claim we got it wrong..I don'r mind being corrected when wrong. Just please explain.
 
tres borrachos said:
Exactly what I already said. Are you having trouble keeping up?

Sorry, your meaning is unclear to me as I think we are not taking the meaning of words the same.

Are you saying we would be fighting here is not there?

Are you saying he gave a false impression at the trial?

Please elaborate. Call me ignorant if you like.

In the context of trying to sway our elections with hacks and propaganda, Russia has been "attacking America," non-stop, for quite some time now. I think the OP has been purposely confused by the radical right-wing media. They're usual tactic is to place a shrill, attention-grabbing statement in the headline of an article that never gets substantiated in the body of the article. They know their audience is lazy and gullible. I think that's what going on here with his claim/link.

Not sure what you mean by "Donald Trump's removal from the November Ballot" but I suspect you've been tricked into repeating something that sounds more hysterical than it actually is.

So, when you ask if Trump's removal is a "move in the direction" of "TRUTH, honor and dignity being restored as American virtues" - my unequivocal and resounding answer is:

YES!!

^ Summary of your message.

Schiff is correct! We must get rid of Trump so our entire military can immediately attack and invade Russia after we launch every nuclear missile and drop every nuclear bomb we have on Russia. KILL ALL RUSSIANS! WAR! WAR! WAR!

Until about 3 years ago, a young Russian family in the USA legally and owning a home in our neighborhood - the nicest people you could meet. If someone dropped something in the 14 foot deep canal behind us, he would put on scuba gear and get it. Your boat wouldn't start? Take their's. He mowed elderly neighbor's yards for free without asking. Their little children were always perfectly and cutely dresses as they strolled the neighborhood.

GOD DAMN WAR MONGERING RACIST AND BIGOTED DEMOCRATS in their constant spewing out their typical ethnic, nationality and race-hatred threats and war mongering against "Russians" - not the Russian government and Putin - but all Russians - was such much deliberate TERRORISM by the Democratic Party and progressive Democrats like you do that they fled the USA for their lives! Literally, people like you SO terrorized them they fled.

There are many reasons I came to outright HATE the Democratic Party and have NO respect and only contempt for bigoted, hate mongering, racist Democrats. They are no longer allowed in our home or on our property and we cut all social contact with them so they do not infect our children with their bigotries, racism, hate mongering and war mongering.

When our children asked why their playmates left, we told them the truth. "There is a group of terrorists in the USA called Democrats. They were attacking and terrorizing them so they had to flee our country." I assured them we would protect them from Democrat terrorists. That was the literal truth.

You don't know what the word "warn" means? And you need me to translate for you?

I've often said that history if found in forgotten footnotes. The above incident delivered Florida to Trump. That Russian family was extremely well liked - and they had earned it. At the same time, Democrats are bringing ignorant, uneducated and unemployed Latino men including gang members into the USA by the millions.

Trump carried this area - the Central and North Gulf Coast of Florida by not only previously unheard of percentages (over 80%), but by an unprecedented massive turn out in terms of numbers. In this entire county, there was not ONE Hilary Clinton sign. There were oceans of Trump signs and flags and probably every 4th car had a Trump sticker on it. Every day, teams were at the state highway intersections putting Trump stickers on cars. Nearly everyone gladly accepted.

The Democratic Party must NEVER be allowed to capture our government on their non-stop war mongering, bigoted and racist hate mongering and fear mongering terrorism.
 
If the Democratic Party gain power, they will imprison every American of Russian ancestry the way Democrats imprisoned American of Japanese ancestry.

The Democratic Party was founded on racial and ethic hate and war mongering - and tortured and killed tens of millions of people, tormenting and oppressing tens of millions more - and to this day has never stopped doing so.

The Democratic Party is the most evil and murderous terrorist organization on earth - by far. But in this country, we only may use elections and laws to stop and - hopeful some day - eliminate it entirely.

While I fully support freedom of speech, incessantly and falsely screaming "fire! fire!" for the purpose of killing millions upon millions of people and terrorizing billions of people isn't covered. Schiff's call for war against Russia is his attempting to terrorize 7.7 BILLION people - and certainly ALL people who are "Russian" - because that is how many he wants to die in nuclear war he and the Democratic Party demands. There has NEVER been a potential war the Democratic Party has not supported. Ever.

Good for you. Go watch grass grow. The rest of us will watch Trump destroy America's world leadership as he blackmails Ukraine to insure his ability to cheat in the 2020 election. Sorry you are bored by being shown that "your president" has destroyed the US relationship with Ukraine, and given Putin a "thumbs up" to continue their takeover of annexing a sovereign nation through force of arms.

Then again, Trump and Putin are "best buds" now. You must be thrilled.

Do you really think that Trump is the first president to use his office to help get him elected or re-elected? Every incumbent president does. Obama did and he really did collude with Putin. His open microphone conversation with Medvedev proves that beyond all doubt. Obama's flexibility with Putin led to the invasion of the Ukraine and annexation of the Crimea. Obama did nothing to stop it, but he did send MRE's and blankets......

But i didn't ask you what it meant nor have I been using it.

What I asked was, "He may have meant what he said but there seems to be some dispute over the meaning and interpretation of his words and statement.
