He’s an appalling candidate - a track record of not delivering, clearly in mental decline, a thundering ignoramus, a pathological liar, a convicted felon and a petty and childish temperament.
Well, if you consider that under Trump's presidency there was no Russia invading Ukraine, gas and food prices were 20-30% lower than now, and Hispanics, Asians, Blacks, and Women all were making incomes higher than ever before in the US, then I guess we could say the US and Ukraine were in a much better place.

Studies have shown side effects like indigestion, dizziness and mildly elevated heart rate are common with GLP-1 analogs. Severe but rare events include bowel obstruction and pancreatitis.
Of course, watching one's diet and exercising to lose weight comes without those risks these drugs come with, according to the medical experts of the world, and even the agency the WHO.

The UN calls Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, as "Occupied territories. "
Oh--the UN says so!
Doesn't the "N" stand for "nation"?
Since there has never been a country or nations called Palestine, and because the Arabs who settled in Gaza come from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan primarily, what country could Israeli possibly be "occupying" in Gaza, and Judea and Samaria (other than Israel's own lands)?

An occupying power cannot, by definition, engage in 'retaliatory strikes' on the population it is occupying.
Right, Which is why Hamas is classified as a terrorist group for its attacks on Israel, a sovereign country, and for occupying Israel' land in Gaza.
Israel has degenerated into some sort of monster....but monsters can and will be destroyed.
Well, at least ELEVEN different Arab nations have tried to destroy Israel over the last 80 years.
Israel has been the victor each time.
This is why Israel must eliminate the terrorists no matter the costs.
It is the responsibility of Israeli leadership to protect its people, and if terrorists are going to suffer as a result, then that is a good thing.

The troll is back with her insults. Over the years on JT, there have been many articles about eggplants with people posting they didn't know how to use them, especially disliked by their children. I enjoy cooking which is a daily activity. Others do not. My favorite is Italian Eggplant Parmigiana.
People posting their opinions are not "chiming in".
Calling people trolls?
ROFL!
I'll chime in--at least eggplant fits in with one's proclaimed vegan diet.

Fallacy, that is not the argument, climate change (as in the current crisis) do not refer to changes in general but those that are being observed thanks to human activity.
Wrong.
The experts describe it:
Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth’s local, regional and global climates.
