The US has a lot of citizens in Israel, and a lot of Israeli citizens with families in the US, so it's hard to turn from the historic unconditional support to conditional support or even lack of support. No matter who is in office, the reality of this is strong.

Just the same as the NATO countries are finding it complicated decoupling from the MAGA US. It's not so simple to unwind national relationships. It would be nice if it was easy, but it just isn't, especially in a democracy where there's a significant fraction of voters who are unmoved by the Gaza disaster. It's sad but true.

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

The oath of office has one stipulation. Just one.

He's taken it twice. He's such an evil man.

Trump is fascist scum.

Protesting locally.

This would have been better timed to block the continuing resolution. As it is, it is hollow. For all the Dems that love symbolism without caring about efficacy, have fun. The GOP simply ignores this shit.

We know. We hate it.

The press is feeble. Fucking cowards.

The frustrating thing here is that it was possible to know that the President doesn't really have a lot of power over the price of things before the election, and not vote based on something that Trump can't fix. "All Presidents must answer for the price of $ITEM" is a terrible way to vote.

Russian troll, nothing to see here.

Maintaining a post office is the only specific service, aside from national defense, the federal government must provide mentioned in the Constitution.

Yeah, let's keep alive the existence of Walz's couple of misstatements, while ignoring the insane, senile nonsense that Trump spews on the hour. Fuck the media.
