Sending the military to kill an alley, to enrich Trump personally.
We have to go way back to find a king who made his country do that.
My, oh my, did that man ruin your country's morality.

Tell that to Trump

Why is everything your administration does SO INCREDIBLY STUPID?

If you want to stay healthy, listen to specialists.
Do not listen to your administration, because they DON'T listen to specialists.
Your administration listens to lobbyists and people with brain-worms (literal or figurative).

The milk and meat lobby has significantly delayed and distorted public understanding
of the health risks of animal-product consumption, contributing to preventable disease.

WHY OH WHY is the rent price of apartments a justification for using oil until climate change turns so bad that even complete morons accept the truth, the government shitting on The Constitution, trying to destroy democracy, the destruction of the First Amendment, the return of the Jim Crow era, letting tech billionaires control everything and fill the country with datacenters, the destruction of education, the cruelty towards poor countries that desperately needed money for HIV prevention and famine reduction, cutting funds to child cancer research, their health insurance premiums skyrocketing, ICE and the National Guard terrorizing citizens (like right-wingers have fear-mongered for decades about the libs doing that), their immigrant neighbors' families getting torn apart by ICE, the media getting flooded with AI generated misinformation and the governmnet creating the surveillance-state, the constant sickening hypocrisy of the other side, family members turning into complete cult-members and the stupidity of the (wannabe) dictator in the White House?

New York is PRIME REAL ESTATE. Every square foot is fought over by rich people working in Wall Street and real estate speculators, who drive the prices up to ridiculous heights. These are CAPITALIST excesses. The failure of New York Democrats is that they were corporate centrists, who allowed that capitalism to drive out working class citizens from their own city, because they couldn't afford it anymore.

Still, those Democrats did some things to keep rent prices from not escalating to even more ridiculous levels. Do you think that Republicans would have done anything?
Of course not, they would call that 'socialism' or 'communism'.

There are no capitalist solutions to a capitalist problem.
That's why the working class in New York voted for Zohran Mamdani.

Are you supporting Russian economic politics over Democrats?
Which relevant economic principle, that you have ever advocated for,
is championed by Russian politics and opposed by Democrats?
And how is that affecting rent prices for working class people?

In one post you are praising Russians for keeping rent low (which is nonsense,
if you consider their spending power) and in the other post you are accusing Democrats of trying to make America in Russia.
What is it?

And Trump has sent that message to Norway, while the Nobel Committee is an
independent private body that does NOT represent the Norwegian government.

Trump doesn't understand that Norway is a democracy, that does not meddle
with independent private Committees in their country.

I bet that most 4-year olds are able to understand the problem, if explained well.

There is no plan to have anyone "bumming off their government".
Can you do anything else than only venting your prejudices?
Mamdani actually has plans to deliver many things that Trump promised,
but never intended to provide. It was just a ruse to steal votes from gullible people.

The plans of Mamdani STRENGHTEN the economy, because it's all investments
in people who are now struggling, to maximize their potential and spending power.

Top priorities of Zohran Mamdani for New York City:

1. Affordability & Housing
Mamdani’s central focus is lowering the cost of living, especially for renters.
* Freeze or sharply limit rent increases for rent-stabilized apartments
* Build roughly 200,000 permanently affordable homes over the next decade, prioritizing union labor
* Strengthen tenant protections and crack down on predatory landlords
* Expand supportive housing, including for formerly incarcerated and elderly residents

2. Cost Relief for Families
He emphasizes reducing everyday expenses for working families.
* Universal, free child care for children under five
* Fare-free buses to reduce commuting costs and improve transit access

3. Economic Justice & Tax Policy
To fund expanded services, Mamdani promotes progressive revenue policies.
* Higher taxes on high-income earners and large corporations
* Reducing excessive fines and bureaucratic hurdles for small businesses
* Stronger enforcement against wage theft, including by delivery and gig-economy companies

4. Transportation & Infrastructure
His transportation agenda centers on safety and accessibility.
* Expanded bus service and bus-priority corridors
* More protected bike lanes and safer street redesigns
* Pedestrian-focused urban planning

5. Public Safety & Community Wellness
Mamdani supports a non-traditional approach to public safety.
* Creation of a **Department of Community Safety** focused on prevention, crisis response, and social services
* Investments in violence prevention and mental-health response rather than policing alone

6. Governance & Schools
He has taken a pragmatic stance on city governance.
* Support for maintaining mayoral control of schools while reforming oversight
* Collaboration with education advocates and labor groups on school policy

The country is notorious, because of the "Nigerian prince" meme, but actually it isn't even in the top 10 of Countries that host the most scam call center operations.
The most activity on that front are:
1. Myanmar
2. Ukraine (mostly aimed at Russian citizens)
3. Cambodia
4. Pakistan
5. India
6. Georgia
7. Parts of Latin America, Africa, Laos, the Philippines, and East Timor.

Nigeria is more widely recognized for online scams and fraud schemes, particularly romance scams, advance-fee (e.g., “419”) scams, business-email compromise,
and other cybercrime types, and individual scammers or networks often operate decentralised from homes or smaller offices rather than huge call-center compounds.
“419 scams” are a type of advance-fee fraud, named after Section 419 of Nigeria’s Criminal Code, which outlaws fraud. They trick a victim into sending money, personal information, or valuables upfront by promising a much larger reward later, a reward that never actually exists.
Personally, I consider these the bottom of the barrel. When people fall for it,
I consider it a TAX ON STUPID.

Back into the stone age? Did they ever leave it?
It would be a gift to world if Nigeria was helped to progress.
That's 233 million people that you want to put in misery.

There are many scam call centers in the US too, and your government doesn't do near enough to stop them, because they are owned by wealthy people.

I have not have a scam phone call in years. I get a few scam messages per year,
but I am smart enough to recognize them and throw them away.

That was about 100 years ago, and why the fuck is that a justification
for ICE behaving like a military junta? The tyrannical government is here.
This is what the Second Amendment was intended for.

And I predict that the majority of New Yorkers will be very happy with him.

She did not try to run him over, she steered away from him. I HAVE EYES!
He was actually putting himself in danger, by getting much to close to a car.
If an officer actually gets hurt, it's 100% valid to stop the car.
Cops do this many times a day, and mostly no one dies.

There is no evidence of that internal bleeding.
The source that they refer to is "2 government officials".
By the way, a bruise is actually 'internal bleeding' too.

That claim that’s circulating online is a false rumor and has been debunked
by multiple fact-checking sources.

According to multiple credible reports and video analysis, at least one ICE agent
did tell Renee Good to "drive away", but other agents gave conflicting commands
at the same time.

Why do you always want to believe lies, instead of your eyes?

Renee Good said: "I'm not angry at you!"
The ICE officer called her a "fucking bitch", after he killed her.
There is something wrong there, without even looking.

You keep supporting a president who wants to make ICE immune to Law and Order.
NO ONE is above the law. Especially not officers that are this level of unqualified.

And politicians should not call someone a terrorist on this questionable evidence.

Are you kidding? ICE is terrorizing everyone who reflects less than 80% of sunlight.

Some liberals do cry about the decision to keep using oil until climate change turns so bad that even complete morons accept the truth, the government shitting on The Constitution, trying to destroy democracy, the destruction of the First Amendment, the return of the Jim Crow era, letting tech billionaires control everything and fill the country with datacenters, the destruction of education, the cruelty towards poor countries that desperately needed money for HIV prevention and famine reduction, cutting funds to child cancer research, their health insurance premiums skyrocketing, ICE and the National Guard terrorizing citizens (like right-wingers have fear-mongered for decades about the libs doing that), their immigrant neighbors' families getting torn apart by ICE, the media getting flooded with AI generated misinformation and the governmnet creating the surveillance-state, the constant sickening hypocrisy of the other side, family members turning into complete cult-members and the stupidity of the (wannabe) dictator in the White House.

That's all rational reasons to feel depressed about the state of THEIR country.

It's not your country, because your side has always hated America.
You want America to be like Putin's Russia and Erdoğan's Turkey.

I found only one funny, the rest was cringe and stupid.
You're political side really has a disability to do humor.

You still don't understand the difference between sex and gender.
One is biological and the other is identity. That simple concept explains EVERYTHING.
And all those questions and jokes prove that this simple concept is too difficult for your side to understand. This indicates a general low IQ on your side of politics.

Nope, Leo has rational reasons to be angry, about your refusal to be rational.

The term irritable male syndrome (IMS) is used in scientific and popular texts to describe a pattern of irritability and mood changes linked to hormonal fluctuations in males. However, it is not an officially recognized medical diagnosis in major clinical classifications like the DSM-5 or ICD-11; it remains a descriptive concept rather than a standardized clinical condition.

I would say that irritable male syndrome is the clearest reason for the existence of MAGA that I ever heard. The whole movement is based on primitive gut feelings, that things in the US are not going well, without any rational thinking about the reasons for why things in the US are not going well. If you look at MAGA crowds, it's clear that ALL these men have some form of hormonal imbalance. Either they are testosteron bombs who are frustrated for women not being interested in them, or they are middle-aged men in their penopause.

A lot of democrats are jelly fish indeed. Only the lefty progressives are fighters.
But look at Republicans. Almost none of them agreed with tariffs and said nothing.
Most of them think that Trump is crazy to focus on Greenland, but they say nothing.
The only ones who say something are the ones who are not up for re-election anyway.
They are all jelly fish. The only one with some principles and half a spine is Rand Paul.

Oh, man, HANS Island?
I have never heard of the Whisky War.

However, there are these 'conflicts' over small pieces of land, sometimes completely useless pieces of land, all over the world and history. I remember a funny one, which is talked about by The Tim Traveller. I can highly recommend this video and his channel.

Hans is a common first name in The Netherlands. One of my colleagues is called Hans. The name is also used for fun sometimes. I remember a time when we played D&D. One of the players killed an innocent villager (for the greater good, of course) and the dungeon master made a fuss of that. So, the mage of the group said: "Don't get your panties in a bunch, I'll resurrect him!". Well, he tried, but instead he created an undead, who looked at the mage as his master. This is a heinous crime in mage lore, but he just decided to let the zombie tag along and used it as bait and to check for boobytraps.
So, the group had an extra member, and someone suggested to name it "Hans".
The dungeon master found some ways to punish the group for that, like villagers turning against us, for having undead Hans, and Hans making life hard for the group by doing stupid undead things and starting to rot and stink up the place. It was all very funny,
until eventually Hans was sacrificed in some attack. I can't remember all the details.

It's certainly a feat to keep that truck running, without any money.
However, it doesn't take much, to make a simple truck keep going forward.
Most scrappers in a scrap yard will be able to drive, with some tinkering.

The difference is that developed countries have standards for safety.
Your truck has other requirements than just the ability to go forwards.
Those requirements are for your safety as well as everyone else's on the roads.
That's why the US doesn't have the same rate of road deaths as India.

The reason for why so many 50,000 mile trucks end up in the scrap yard in the US:
1. Severe collision damage — Frame or structural damage makes repair unsafe or uneconomical.
2. Flood / water damage — Electrical systems become unreliable and uninsurable.
3. Insurance total-loss economics — Repair costs exceed vehicle market value.
4. Frame rust / corrosion — Structural rust fails inspections and can’t be economically fixed (regional: salt belt states).
5. Part-out value exceeds whole value — Truck is worth more dismantled than repaired.
6. Fleet write-offs — Companies retire vehicles for accounting or liability reasons.
7. Emissions or regulatory failure — Compliance cost exceeds vehicle value.
8. Theft recovery damage — Stripped or vandalized vehicles are too risky to repair.
9. Manufacturer buybacks / recalls — Rare safety or lemon-law removals.
(This ranking reflects real-world frequency)

Clarification: Most 50k-mile trucks that are “scrapped” are:
- Not mechanically worn out
- Often drivable
- But, removed due to economic or safety reasons

Do you know how the Republicans handled the hearing of Jack Smith?

1) They pushed for a closed-door deposition rather than an open public hearing,
so they would control the narrative via selective press releases.

2) Shortly before the deposition began, the Department of Justice, not the Judiciary Committee, sent an email to Smith’s lawyers telling him not to discuss the classified documents case because aspects of it were under a judge’s order. This meant he couldn’t answer many questions about that major topic even though the hearing was supposed to cover his overall Trump investigations.

3) Smith’s lawyers requested that a Justice Department attorney be present during the deposition to help determine, during the questioning, whether a question was off limits. Republicans refused to allow a DOJ attorney in the room. Without DOJ counsel present, Smith’s legal team couldn’t immediately say “he can’t answer that,” or negotiate the scope on the spot. Instead, Smith’s counsel had to risk answering or decline and potentially face political or legal blowback.

4) Justice Department counsel told the committee they had agreed with committee staff that if questions touched on areas Smith legally couldn’t answer, they’d try to flag them during the hearing and move on without answering, then revisit later if needed.

5) Smith couldn’t discuss grand jury materials or sealed report volumes. This reduced what Smith legally could discuss, even though Republicans asked about broader aspects of his prosecutions.

These tricks were intended to make Jack Smith appear hesitant to answer questions. Still, Jack Smith pulled it out of the bag and didn't plea the 5th a single time.

Understand that Jack Smith is a highly educated, very experienced, top lawyer and prosecutor, who is not likely to fall for dirty tricks. Bill Clinton is none of those things and old, and would likely fall for dirty tricks. There is a limit to the responsibility of keeping up the law, when faced with an opposition that doesn't give a flying fuck about it.

Release all the Epstein files, instead of just 1%, which is also heavily redacted.
What are they afraid of?

If there is evidence that Bill Clinton was one of those r@pists, I'm very much supportive of investigating him and interrogating him, but that's the job of the courts. Clinton is a citizen now, and there is no relationship with politics, other than that Trump is heavily implicated (including by his own words), and that Epstein died in his prison cell, under very suspicious circumstances, while Trump was president. That Ghislaine Maxwell
was transferred to cushy prison camp is also very suspicious.

I know. I have never met or heard from a Dutch person who believed that the earth is flat though. I did meet several Dutch creationists, some that I didn't even know to be religious.

It is not just about money, as I told you, it is just as much about Safe staffing levels and Workplace safety protections.

Why is it not the owners of the hospital putting peoples lives in jeopardy by understaffing?

If there is a responsibility for the nurses, there is at least as much responsibility for the owners.

Firing those nurses will make the understaffing even worse. It's the responsibility
of the owners and management to provide the sick and injured people with enough nurses to take care of them. A strike is temporary, but if the nurses don't get their demands of better staffing, that's a permanent risk for the patients.

I think that it's not about the patients for you, it's only about workers being obedient and never asking for anything.

I don't understand why you want to live in feudalistic society. It doesn't serve you,
it will only make the system disrespect you even harder.

You understand the concept of a "perjury trap" when it's a Republican.

Phart showed videos where people in poor countries are doing stupid things,
as an example of their low IQ.

Let's assess an example. India has the highest number of road deaths in the world, in terms of absolute fatalities. I saw the TV-show Deadliest Roads, where they followed a truck-driver, with the most beat-up truck you ever saw. He sat on a crate, because he had no seat, his steering had about half a rotation of play, his brakes hardly functioned, and he drove from early in the morning till late in the evening, along crumbling roads on the edge of deep drops. Phart would say that this truck-driver is absolutely crazy, and he must have a very low IQ. That assumes that the truck-driver doesn't understand his danger. The reality is that he knows exactly that he is risking his life every day, but he is working to feed his family. He doesn't make enough money to fix his truck. In other words; the system that he is living (and dying) under is FORCING him to ACT stupid. That's no reason to assume that he has low IQ.

Then I see lots of Americans ACTING stupid, like believing in obvious nonsense,
so I ask phart if they are forced to act stupid. If they are NOT, that's a good reason
to assume that they have low IQ.

Amartya Sen (Indian Nobel Prize winning economist): "People should be judged
by the options genuinely available to them, not by the outcomes they endure."

Actually privately owned DOES mean that it's OK to rob people.
There are hardly any laws or regulations left, restricting them.

When a system is publicly owned, there is no profit incentive. The only incentive is efficiency; maximizing benefit for the user and minimizing cost for the tax-payer.
When the user and the tax-payer are the same group, it's up to them to decide the quality of service vs the cost. They get what they pay for.

The only limits on private companies robbing their employees and their customers is them losing all their employees and customers. Since there are ever more monopolies in both market and employment, private companies are getting away with ever more robbing. The customer is not getting what they pay for, and the employee is not getting what they work for, they are both getting the scraps that are left, after the private owners satisfied their hunger.

And then you would gleefully forbid employees from organizing themselves and striking, making it even easier for companies to rob their employees.

I see no argument from you for why an employer should be allowed to become a millionaire or billionaire from maximizing profit and minimizing the benefit for your neighbor. You will allow them to exploit the need of the community as much as they can, while you simultaneously deny their responsibility, saying that it is on those nurses when people die.

Understand that companies will always do the maximum possible or allowed harm,
to maximize their profits. It's up to citizens to push back, to protect their community.

If you want to take away the right of workers to strike, because they have a responsibility for people's lives, then you should come up with alternatives for them not getting exploited.

When those nurses are spread to thin, over way too many patients, it's also their responsibility to act, because patients are not receiving proper care.

When have you ever found me to oppose science on any subject?

It depends. Do you think that Congress has a justification to subpoena the Clintons?


ChatGPT: Here is a concise, argumentative summary focused specifically on when Congress has a legitimate legislative purpose, to investigate and issue subpoenas
to support its legislative and oversight functions:

- Congress has a legitimate legislative purpose when an investigation informs the drafting, amendment, or repeal of legislation within its constitutional authority.

- A purpose is legitimate when the inquiry assesses whether existing laws are working as intended or whether additional statutory controls are needed.

- Oversight of the executive branch qualifies when the investigation evaluates the implementation, efficiency, or integrity of federal programs or agencies.

- Investigations may legitimately expose systemic problems, conflicts of interest,
or corruption insofar as the findings could lead to legislative remedies.

- The purpose remains legitimate even if the investigation has political consequences,
so long as legislation, not punishment or exposure for its own sake, is a plausible end.


Clinton held no federal office during most Epstein-related criminal activity and he is a private citizen now.
He has already publicly denied knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
He has publicly agreed with releasing all Epstein files related to him.
He is not accused of any wrongdoing.
The committee has not articulated specific legislation that requires
his testimony rather than documents or expert witnesses.

The strike isn’t just about higher pay (though that’s part of it). It’s a broad labor action driven by multiple long‑standing workplace and patient‑care concerns.

Here’s what the nurses are striking for:

-Safe staffing levels: Nurses want limits on how many patients one nurse is expected to care for at a time, so care is safer and less exhausting. Many say chronic understaffing threatens patient and worker safety.

- Workplace safety protections: They’re demanding stronger measures to protect against violence from patients or visitors, a significant and growing concern on hospital units.

- Healthcare benefits: The union says hospitals have resisted guaranteeing full healthcare coverage for nurses and are proposing changes that could reduce benefits.

- Wages/Pay: Nurses also want pay that better reflects their workload and the high cost of living in NYC, though the precise numbers being discussed are disputed between unions and hospital management.

What triggered the strike now?

Contracts for nearly 15,000 nurses at major New York private hospitals (like Mount Sinai, Montefiore, and NewYork‑Presbyterian) expired December 31, 2025, and months of negotiations failed to resolve core issues before the nurses formally walked out in early January 2026.

So that's why they did that "in the middle of winter during flu season".

Yes, "it's supposed to better your community", that's mostly the reason for their strike.

If these jobs are not supposed to make anyone a millionaire, then why do allow them under private ownership, which is exactly intended to enrich the owners.
You are literally telling me that education and healthcare should be exempt from
private wealth creation, while you always argue that they should be privately owned.
Did you not even think of that, before you wrote it?

There is no process for determining the average IQ of citizens of a country, by method of eye witness observations. There are stupid people in all countries.
Your videos show people who are forced to do stupid things out of poverty and desperation. That is not evidence for their IQ.

Most flat earthers on the internet are Americans. Does that make all Americans stupid?
Are they forced to think stupid ideas?

You are confusing 2 things here:
1) You understanding that Trump committed several crimes,
when he wasn't president, based on evidence.
2) Trump getting found guilty in a court of law.

You are calling lots of people guilty of crimes, when they are not found guilty in a court of law, so your standards for that are very inconsistent.

Even when Trump is found guilty or liable in a court of law, you will deny it anyway, without any justification for calling the involved courts illegitimate.

The fact that he is president NOW, does not dismiss his crimes when he wasn't. Not even the new ruling of the Supreme Court is saying that. They made him only mostly immune to the law for the time AS president, as far as the job of president allows.

Here is your answer, but you should know that:
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that former President Donald J. Trump could not be barred from running for president by individual states applying the “insurrection” clause of the 14th Amendment, when the Colorado Supreme Court had excluded Trump from Colorado’s 2024 presidential primary ballot. The Supreme Court ruled that Only Congress has the constitutional authority to enforce Section 3 for federal office, which would mean that Congress would need to enact a law or use a constitutionally valid enforcement mechanism to apply Section 3 to a federal candidate. They didn't. Importantly, the Supreme Court’s ruling did NOT decide whether Trump actually engaged in insurrection or whether Section 3 on its face applies to the presidency.
That means that NO court (kangaroo or Supreme) could have disqualified Trump from running for office, EVEN IF he was found guilty of treason. He could have still ran for office, from his prison cell. It was only up to Congress and the better judgement of the American voters.

Well, Bill Clinton didn't show up, so they have that power. The Clintons’ attorneys sent a letter to Comer arguing that the subpoenas are “invalid and legally unenforceable” and politically motivated.
It will be up to a judge to decide if that is defensible. If it is, then the contempt falls flat, if it isn't, they can punish him and/or force him
to show up anyway. However, it is likely that a court would either strike down or significantly narrow these subpoenas, if Congress
tries to enforce them.

What justification does Congress have to subpoena Bill Clinton?
Clinton held no federal office during most Epstein-related criminal activity and he is a private citizen now.
He has already publicly denied knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
He has publicly agreed with releasing all Epstein files related to him.
He is not accused of any wrongdoing.
The committee has not articulated specific legislation that requires
his testimony rather than documents or expert witnesses.

So, what's your opinion on The House Oversight Committee issuing a formal subpoena to Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ on August 5, for failing to produce the complete, unredacted files related to Jeffrey Epstein, including classified and ongoing investigative material, as required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act?
That's a government official, clearly breaking the law, which is
exactly what Congress’s investigative power is intended for.

I am doing the best that is possible, but no reasoning would convince you or anyone on your side.
Meanwhile, you are presenting no reasoning yourself, so how do you expect to convince me, or anyone who is on my side?

If you don't pay nurses enough or make their jobs suck, no one will want to be
a nurse anymore. Unions are just a way for employees to organize themselves,
so they can demand respect from their employer. Why do you hate that so much?

Why do you always fight for the powerful to exploit the powerless?
Don't you think that the little guy has been exploited enough already?

And Trump sat there on pleaded the 5th hundreds of times.
He had NO defense against any of it. He only obstructed and delayed.
Unlike you, I followed those court cases in detail.
You just spout your biased opinion.

You are commenting on what I provided for the sexual abuse and fraud cases. I was not talking about the election interference case or his classified documents case.

The evidence pieces related to the election interference conspiracy are:
Audio/Recordings: Trump–Raffensperger recorded call
Official Documents: Draft Clark letter; Eastman memos; fake elector certificates
Emails/Text Logs: Internal campaign coordination messages
Court Records: Indictments, plea transcripts
Testimony: Raffensperger & other officials before investigators
Video Footage: Alternate electors meeting publicly
Emails/communications: Discussions of plans to block/count electoral votes and non-public strategies
Official filings by Jan 6 committee: Detailed evidence summaries and assertions that Trump’s actions obstructed certification
Depositions & official records: Testimony that Trump was informed the fraud claims were false yet repeated them
Pence’s contemporaneous notes: Direct account of pressure on Pence to overrule electoral certification

The evidence pieces related to the classified documents case are:
Physical Documents: Classified records seized; inventories; photos
Recordings: Trump audio discussing classified items
Witness/Testimony: Grand jury testimony; staff statements
Lawyer Notes/Transcripts: Corcoran production ordered by appeals court
Court Filings & Discovery: Indictment, discovery sets, warrant affidavit
Video Footage: Mar-a-Lago camera recordings
Indictment narrative: Detailed account of statements and actions pushing for deletion of security footage
Sworn charging documents: Formal judicial accusations that Trump and aides sought to destroy evidence
Statements in the indictment: Quoted language from aides (“the boss wants … deleted”)
Subpoena timing: Shows deletion attempt occurred after legal demand for footage
Successful preservation of footage: Demonstrates the attempted deletion is independent from the fact the footage still exists

Where these cases stand out is quality and type, not just quantity:
1. Direct evidence of conduct
2. Evidence of knowledge and intent (the hardest element)
3. Multiple independent evidence streams

Are you comparing your government under Democrats with Iran?
