Can you link some sources as examples?

Sorry, the website doesn’t make it clear to me, what are these numbers indicating they’re a recipient for? Are these direct donations from Israel?
Idk man, Trump’s got some wild plans for Hitlertown.
“On day one, we’ll restore our travel ban. We had a travel ban because we didn’t want people coming into our country who really loved the idea of blowing our country up,” he said. He called the ban an “amazing success.”
“We didn’t have one incident in four years, because we kept bad people out of our country,” he claimed.
“I’ll also be implementing strong ideological screenings for all immigrants coming in,” he said. “If you hate America, if you want to abolish Israel, if you sympathize with jihadists, then we don’t want you in our country and you’re not going to be getting into our country.”
Trump also said he would cancel student visas of Hamas sympathizers.
“The college campuses are being taken over, and all of the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests this month, nobody’s seen anything like it,” he said. “Come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you.”
…
As president, Trump would “put every single university and college president on notice,” he said. “The American taxpayer will not subsidize the creation of terrorist sympathizers on American soil.”
I know you were speaking in hyperbole, but it sounds like he’d actually be gunning to actually put Palestine supporters in camps.
Haven’t used this feature before, but this flag might be what you need
I had no idea this was a thing. Thanks for sharing…
There’s a nuanced difference between odds of being someone being killed by x versus y, and the number of deaths resulting from x vs y.
My hunch is that spraying into a crowd with an automatic results in more deaths at a faster rate than someone actively aiming, but quite frankly my personal belief is that having a knife severely limited the number of deaths when compared to any firearm.
To put it succinctly, just because you can’t hit your intended target with an automatic firearm doesn’t mean the danger goes away - oftentimes bystanders get hurt, which is mentioned in the quote you brought up.
I’d say the reason the military did that is probably because they’re not shooting into crowds of inattentive, unsuspecting bystanders, and you can’t really compare military tactics to a dude shooting up a mall where folks are unarmed, but this is getting pretty far into the theoretical weeds.
Inaccurate, but it doesn’t say anything about less lethal.
Bystanders and buildings have been struck by the bullet spray of modified Glocks
You are once again assuming that the individual is aiming at particular targets, but instead they’re in a shopping center with strangers.
Finally, even with your provided one year of data, it’s correlation vs causation.
Okay this is a blatant disregard for correlation vs causation, with a side of no shared data to boot.
What I’m saying is that depending on the shopping center, you could very easily “shoot everywhere” and still hit many people, for example, the bump stock fueled 2017 Vegas shooting.
I definitely haven’t, lol. My assumption is this guy wouldn’t need to aim to hit folks in a shopping center, but that’s just a guess. Given that automatics are illegal where I’m from they’re kind of a mythical concept haha.
I personally think I’m grateful this guy didn’t have a firearm of any sort. There’s a picture of a guy armed with a bollard having a standoff with him to protect his family. This would be a very different article if the slasher was armed even with a pistol.
Probably because in a shopping mall you don’t need to be accurate in the slightest to kill others.
Okay, so now that we’ve cleared that up, we’re still selling Ukraine arms, as of 4 days ago…
Genocide Joe does abuse his presidential powers. He does it for israel /when Republicans are blocking their weapons. He does not do it for Ukraine. /
Can we talk about the conditional you put on your statement here?
Are you just going to pretend that doesn’t exist?
Random peons being the ones elected to pass policy and control the budget, right?
And the president only being able to help if he blatantly abused a loophole, right?
If that’s the case, yeah you’ve got it right. I do think that the contingent of folks who are acting against providing aid are more responsible than the person who isn’t abusing a loophole to help.
So let me get this straight, instead of blaming people who are actively acting against something, you are focusing instead on someone who isn’t abusing a loophole?
That doesn’t set the stage up for a very reasonable conversation, and suggests that you’re wanting to discuss Israel/Gaza moreso than Ukraine, so I don’t see a need to engage in conversation.
Hold on, for the record Republicans most certainly are holding up aid to Ukraine.
Your first link errors out
Re: the second link, do you know if we’re selling arms to Ukraine, or giving it to them?
The conservatives are voting for Ukraine to be outgunned and unequipped, put blame where it belongs.
A group of them came by my college every week and provided a low cost, all you can eat vegetarian lunch. Don’t know much else about them, but that’s a point in their favor in my books.
