I like the Scott Adams explanation -- they intentionally limit what they see & hear, the news they learn, to sources they know will only reflect how they already feel. Thus they create bias-confirming-echo-chambers for themselves. We expose ourselves to more news, more sources and, generally, take a more open-minded view of the world. I think this adequately explains that certain group of posters in here as well as anything else I've seen

This is all just unbelievable. The Democrats are “Breaking Bad”. How can any democrat that loves this country do the things they are doing? They lie, cheat, con, steal, treason, and all the other corruption that goes along with that. They need to change their name to the Hypocrisy Party.

The only difference between Babylon Bee and CNN is that the Babylon Bee knows it’s a parody.

They are not persuaded by facts. They get into their mind that they are right and no matter how much the truth slaps them across the face they stick to their parties talking points. It’s so engrained into their brain that it’s them the left against the right that lying and cheating is okay because of their belief of the greater good. DAMN, that sounds just like the Koran.
Not sure what happened to America being one. The division is so one sided too.

Horn6721, had you ever heard the name Suliemanni before? When the news reported he was killed, did you think, they finally got that guy I remember people talking about?
If you did, hats off to you. I had never heard his name before. The reports discussing his misdeeds that I have read are all coming after his death.
If he was really a direct, imminent threat to Americans in Iraq, then I understand why he was killed. I would not sacrifice American lives in order to placate Iran's feelings. That said just because you kill him doesn't mean we have killed the plans he was making with others. So not sure how that all works.

One of the comments on that twitter post was “I’m pretty sure the body would have fit in a shoe box”.

After Iran offered an 80 million$ bounty to kill Trump George Lopez offered to do it for half.
What a complete POS. He should be charged.
George doesn’t deserve America.
Gold is up thru a range, but rest of mkt shrugs
It seems the crying by the left that Trump just started WW3 doesn’t seem to affect the a market any.

Petraeus Says Trump May Have Helped ‘Reestablish Deterrence’ by Killing Suleimani
If you believe Petraeus to be credible here are a few quotes:
"He is responsible for providing explosives, projectiles, and arms and other munitions that killed well over 600 American soldiers and many more of our coalition and Iraqi partners just in Iraq, as well as in many other countries such as Syria. So his death is of enormous significance."
"The reasoning seems to be to show in the most significant way possible that the U.S. is just not going to allow the continued violence—the rocketing of our bases, the killing of an American contractor, the attacks on shipping, on unarmed drones—without a very significant response.
Many people had rightly questioned whether American deterrence had eroded somewhat because of the relatively insignificant responses to the earlier actions. This clearly was of vastly greater importance. Of course it also, per the Defense Department statement, was a defensive action given the reported planning and contingencies that Suleimani was going to Iraq to discuss and presumably approve.
This was in response to the killing of an American contractor, the wounding of American forces, and just a sense of how this could go downhill from here if the Iranians don’t realize that this cannot continue."

I had heard of him before much like I knew who Al bagdadi sp? was
Rouhiani or al zawari. There were articles from years talking about what he was doing.There were reports when Obama stopped Israel from taking Suleimani out.Think how many would have been saved if Obama had left the Israelis alone.
this? "Suliemanni didn't kill 700 Americans though."
Really? How do you know. He is credited with over 600 American military. And of course the people killed at Bengazi. He operated all over the ME. If I had time to research I wonder if I would find any American contrators killed
700 was I think was an arbitrary number. Could have been 650.

Must be in Iraq?Dude spent his whole life hating on the Great Satan (which is most of you by the way). He fought America, killed Americans. But in the end, he was taken for his last ride on an American car after getting taken out by an American missile.

FWIW, tweet from Mustafa Salim (in link).
Now some MPs inside the hall can be heard chanting slogans against America and Israel.
Yes,yes Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandus”
“Yes,yes Soleimani”
“No,No America”
“No,No Israel”
MPs are chanting inside the hall.
