Right!? I've been so confused by the notion of Trump being the anti-Israel vote. That's not what I heard him say.
I had someone arguing at me here, with the supreme confidence of the ignorant, that trump and Harris would be the same for Palestineans.
I thought those accounts went dormant after the election. Maybe there's still some OpenAI credit left on the controller?
They are trying to foment division among trump's opposition, the disinfo machines never stop until there is a civil war or collapse.
One of those dumb fucks already responded here.
But Id like to think they're AI instead of just mind numbingly stupid.
The Harris/Biden comparison was more valid, although we can't be sure she would stay that path once in office and with pressure from Congress and public. But at least there was a chance of both of those. Anyone who thought Trump wouldn't ramp things up or would listen to calls for change...I don't know what they were thinking. He's never done that, never been like that. His history as a businessman and as a President for four years is right there to review.
The thing is that Harris could be moved by progressives winning primaries and the 2026 midterms at the very least. There is almost no hope of something similar for trump.
I mean yeah he would be/is, at least until Israel's genocide is over. There is literally nothing Trump can do (at least while beholden to the public and Congress) in this war that Biden hasn't already done.
That's the silliest damn thing.
Why do you think Israel announced they were annexing the West Bank right after the election?
Ignorant goddamn children spouting off about global politics.
So first, I can't actually find anything about this except Smotrich pushing for annexation so do you have a source that says they're going to go forward with annexation? Now second, Smotrich started yapping about annexing West Bank settlements (not the whole West Bank; if Israel did that they'd have to give Palestinians rights) literally a day or two after the election, meaning he already had plans for something similar before then. You don't just wake up and start taking steps towards annexing an occupied territory that's not how that works.
Trump is beholden to the public?
I mean he is to an extent. Everyone is talking like the fascist project in America is finished, but it's not and there's no guarantee they'll be able to complete it. That said it's mostly Congress doing the heavy lifting here; there are enough sane Republicans that Trump wouldn't be able to get away with some of the more outrageous stuff.
I would love to see the list of Republicans in Congress whose districts/states WEREN'T carried by pro-Trump zealots and who WOULDN'T lose their seats if they went against Trump.
Hint: it could fit on an index card, double spaced
I mean there were Republicans opposed to one of his appointments (don't remember who) and you only need four of them to side with the Democrats to get a majority.
That's such a waste of card stock. Use a sticky note.
I hope you're right but I won't hold my breath
"Trump won because of us and we're not happy with his Secretary of State pick and others," said Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump.
Nazarko said the community would continue pressing to make its voices heard after rallying votes to help Trump win. "At least we're on the map."
Hate to break it to him, but Team Trump's plan is for Gaza to be completely off the map.
It's free real estate
With prebuilt houses. Just need to wait for the military to clear out the Untermensch.
Beachside.
And just in time for climate change!
Unironically, yes.
Rola Makki, the Lebanese American, Muslim vice chair for outreach of the Michigan Republican Party, shrugged off the criticism. "I don't think everyone's going to be happy with every appointment Trump makes, but the outcome is what matters," she said. "I do know that Trump wants peace, and what people need to realize is that there's 50,000 dead Palestinians and 3,000 dead Lebanese, and that's happened during the current administration."
And trump will let Netanyahu wipe all the Palestinians off the map and murder even more Lebanese. I hope it's all worth it to you.
To be fair, under Trump, there will eventually be a ceasefire (once there's no one left to shoot).
They'll just keep looking for people to shoot, too
How do brainless fools like this ever make it to positions of influence? Trump has been openly supporting both Israel and Russia since the start. His version of "peace" is capitulation and/or elimination of the victims.
Failing upward whilst kissing ass, its the American Way.

But look on the bright side, this guy is gonna be able to buy soooOOOoooo much gas. Who's that cool cat over there just driving in circles flexing? Damn, that's Rabiul, smart guy, smart guy. Heard they mistook his family for illegals, now he's free as a bird
Fuel and eggs, my friend. Fuel and eggs. And guns.
I don't understand it. How is anyone so politically deaf and blind? Even if the only thing you only listened to was Trumptler's word-vomit, this is exactly what he said he would do. And you still fucking voted for this assclown? How??
Anger/despair beats rational/strategic thought :/
Lmao, morons gonna moron and on and on...
Dumb fucks.
The leopards are gonna have acid reflux on this one
indiscriminate ignorance 🤙
