Yeah, waving the fucking Al Qaeda flag is not going to win you points with the general American public, most of whom are old enough to remember watching the twin towers fall.

Nor is it going to ever meet the approval of any credible candidate for President, because the President is the commander in chief of the US military, swears an oath to uphold the Constitution, Al Qaida are literally enemies of the United States, and I know we might have lost sight of this during the Trump Presidency, but NOT COMMITTING TREASON is basically the lowest bar for a President.

And yes, I do think publicly supporting Al Qaeda and spreading its propaganda could qualify for the definition of Treason in the Constitution:

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to the Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."

Precedent IIRC is that treason only applies to aiding someone we are actually at war with, but Al Qaeda qualifies. In 2006 Adam Gadahn became the first American since the 1950s to be indicted for treason after joining Al Qaeda and becoming a major spokesperson and advisor of theirs'. He was subsequently killed in a drone strike overseas in 2015.

However, he was a senior Al Qaeda operative and such charges are very rare, so in practice a treason charge for being a flag-waving dipshit would be unlikely (unless Trump wins like a lot of these "protester" imbeciles want, then Treason could be anything Dear Leader doesn't like).

From a "Pro-Palestine" protest in Washington DC today, 7/24. The green flag is the flag of Hamas, for those who don't know (who have always maintained their position that their goal is to kill/ethnically cleanse all Jews. They have never gone back on this position, despite what idiots on tiktok may say.)

How much longer are Jews supposed to sit here and be gaslit about the rabid antisemitism that is absolutely taking over the left like a fucking title wave. How much longer will people even pretend that everyone doesn't just think killing Jews is cool again.

Just saw some white supremacists and anarchists both saying “Israel shelters pedophiles!”

You know most countries on the Arabian peninsula have no defined age of consent, right? That’s not a coincidence. Mainstream Sunni Islam defines “old enough for sex” as “can co-sleep safely”. Which is toddlers.

The ulema have agreed that it is permissible for fathers to marry off their small daughters, even if they are in the cradle. But it is not permissible for their husbands to have sex with them unless they are capable of being placed beneath and bearing the weight of the men.

after 9/11, I remember some kids were terrified a plane would crash into their school. I understood that al Qaida had targeted symbols of American power and it wasn't likely they would attack a random school. However, the United States became united in the face of the attacks (at 1st anyway) and al Qaida failed to demoralize the US. I thought, the most effective terror strategy would be to attack random civilian targets. Terrorize the population.

This is what russia is doing now. Deliberately attacking civilians in order to demoralize the country. It is spreading terror in a true terrorist's strategy. We have to recognize this is what russia is doing. It may be a "good" strategy but it is a horrific thing to attack and kill civilians going about their day-- in their homes, train stations, stores, restaurants. Normal people around the world should be more outraged by this.

However, this strategy hasn't worked so far. Ukraine is united against the attacker. Because to give in would only spread more terror and untold horror in the country-- and russia would be emboldened to attack others.

THE PROSPECT OF HIGHER-FOR-LONGER INTEREST RATES LOOMS OVER AUTUMN ON WALL STREET

The Syrian factions that toppled President Bashar Assad last month named an Islamist former rebel leader as the country‘s interim president on Wednesday in a push to project a united front as they face the monumental task of rebuilding Syria after nearly 14 years of civil war. The former insurgents also threw out Syria’s constitution, adopted under Assad, saying a new charter would be drafted soon. The appointment of Ahmad al-Sharaa, who was once aligned with al-Qaida, as Syria’s president “in the transitional phase” came after a meeting of the former insurgent factions in Damascus, the Syrian capital.

The biggest threat to the United States is not China or Russia or other "external threats," said Max Boot. It's "our own political dysfunction." The U.S. remains fundamentally strong, with the world's biggest and most resilient economy, the most powerful military, and 50 allies, compared with a handful for China and Russia. China's once-booming economy has stagnated, due to poor central planning and an aging and shrinking population. We remain the world's only true superpower and an "indispensable nation," keeping rogue actors like Vladimir Putin and Iran in check. But extreme partisan warfare and a growing isolationist movement have put us on the road to abdicating that critical role. A divided Congress cannot even pass a budget, or agree on military aid to embattled allies Israel and Ukraine. If Donald Trump and his "American First" brigade regains the White House, he'll likely abandon Ukraine, pull the U.S. out of NATO, alienate allies, and cripple our nation's global power. A host of enemies, including Nazi Germany, al Qaida, the Soviet Union, Russia, and China have been unable to cripple the U.S. and demote us to second-class status. But Americans may succeed where "others have failed."
