It sounds like you're saying "no one has it all figured out, so therefore the opinion that drinking bleach cures cancer is just as valid as the opinion that drinking bleach is harmful."
Surely you can understand why that's dangerous.

Trump announcing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel wasn't some insurmountable task that previous presidents weren't able to tackle. Any one of them could have done the same thing. It's just that every single person who came before him was exponentially more thoughtful and had a greater understanding of the potential consequences of that move. Trump "made it look easy" because he's an impulsive jackass.

Meth lets just agree to disagree. I can do this all day.
We have some things figured out but not all and all im saying is Trump aint the person to have figured out the 2500 years of unjust in the middle east. No man is perfect.

Trump did the Jerusalem thing to appease the crazy Evangelicals who think it’s part of some prophecy

This appears to be the Channel 4 report about Cambridge Analytica. Not sure if that's the full thing that was aired, I believe this is a segment.

that's not it.
referring to "the Jews" being behind something is hateful conspiracy nut language that implies there is some vast evil Jewish plot. it is what binds Nazis, skinheads, and islamist terrorists.
it's not the equivalent of calling you black. it's the (very loose) equivalent of saying the blacks should be enslaved because they're inferior.
maybe you didn't mean it that way and are using the Jews as shorthand for the state of Israel or something, but language matters in this case, as it does for some white Southerner throwing around the n word.

After the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled the Republicans' congressional map as unconstitutional partisan gerrymandering in their favor, the Republicans challenged the implementation of the new court-drawn congressional map.
They took it all the way to the US Supreme Court, however SCOTUS has rejected their appeal. Thus the new map will be kept.

Exclusive: Sources contradict Sessions' testimony he opposed Russia outreach
Karen Freifeld, Sarah N. Lynch, Mark Hosenball
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ testimony that he opposed a proposal for President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign team to meet with Russians has been contradicted by three people who told Reuters they have spoken about the matter to investigators with Special Counsel Robert Mueller or congressional committees.
Sessions testified before Congress in November 2017 that he “pushed back” against the proposal made by former campaign adviser George Papadopoulos at a March 31, 2016 campaign meeting. Then a senator from Alabama, Sessions chaired the meeting as head of the Trump campaign’s foreign policy team.
“Yes, I pushed back,” Sessions told the House Judiciary Committee on Nov. 14, when asked whether he shut down Papadopoulos’ proposed outreach to Russia.

Sessions has since also been interviewed by Mueller.
Three people who attended the March campaign meeting told Reuters they gave their version of events to FBI agents or congressional investigators probing Russian interference in the 2016 election. Although the accounts they provided to Reuters differed in certain respects, all three, who declined to be identified, said Sessions had expressed no objections to Papadopoulos’ idea.
One person said Sessions was courteous to Papadopoulos and said something to the effect of “okay, interesting.”
The other two recalled a similar response.
“It was almost like, ‘Well, thank you and let’s move on to the next person,’” one said.
However, another meeting attendee, J.D. Gordon, who was the Trump campaign’s director of national security, told media outlets including Reuters in November that Sessions strongly opposed Papadopoulos’ proposal and said no one should speak of it again. In response to a request for comment, Gordon said on Saturday that he stood by his statement.
Sessions, through Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores, declined to comment beyond his prior testimony. The special counsel’s office also declined to comment. Spokeswomen for the Democrats and Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee did not comment.
Reuters was unable to determine whether Mueller is probing discrepancies in accounts of the March 2016 meeting.
The three accounts, which have not been reported, raise new questions about Sessions’ testimony regarding contacts with Russia during the campaign.
Sessions previously failed to disclose to Congress meetings he had with former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and testified in October that he was not aware of any campaign representatives communicating with Russians.

Some Democrats have seized on discrepancies in Sessions’ testimony to suggest the attorney general may have committed perjury. A criminal charge would require showing Sessions intended to deceive. Sessions told the House Judiciary Committee that he had always told the truth and testified to the best of his recollection.
Legal experts expressed mixed views about the significance of the contradictions cited by the three sources.
Sessions could argue he misremembered events or perceived his response in a different way, making any contradictions unintentional, some experts said.
Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, said Sessions’ words might be too vague to form the basis of a perjury case because there could be different interpretations of what he meant
