If you knew 80 children were starving to death every day because that is what Zionists do, the lives of two diplomates, Zionists, doesn't seems such a bad trade off. It's not evil, it is retribution.
I wonder when foreign leaders will just stop coming. Will recognize the Oval Office for what it is. A trap.
I was born 5 years after the end of WWII. I heard every story, read every book I could get my hands on about that war and what Germany, Hitler, did to 11 million people. We all shudder in horror. As we have sat an watched our American government go in and over throw democratically elected governments, installed dictators, because we wanted to guarantee out access to their resources.
Yes, we had USAID, we have done some good. And everyone admits it is in our own self interest that we did so. This country has never done anything that did not have a price tag on it for the recipient.
This country deserves tRump. Until the people actually wake up to the horrors we have committed and are committing so we can have cheap stuff, eat ourselves to obesity, drive gas guzzling vehicles, and claim we are superior to every other nation on earth, and supposedly, do it all in the name of God (we are a Christian nation after all), I'm going to sit back in wonder, and watch it crumble to dust.
What about the cold blooded murders of Palestinian babies, children, teens, innocent men and women? Their lives aren’t worth anything? Push people far enough, violence is going to be the reaction. And a lot of people are disgusted and disturbed by Israel’s unending GENOCIDE against the Palestinian people.
Have you blamed Hamas yet? They started the whole mess with their attempted genocide of Israelis. It's in their charter to wipe Jews off the face of the earth. And you defend these murderers!
1948, NAKBA, was the start of the terrorism of Palestine by the Israelis. Do a dive into the history of why Palestine was given, without consent of it's people, to Israel, out of an excess of guilt over the Holocaust. It should never have happened. Look at the actual history, recorded by Jewish scholars of the horrors Israel has heaped on Palestine. Yes, HAMAS is supported by al- Qaeda and Iran. Thank God someone supports them. The phrase, from the Sea to Sea, is written in the original Charter for Israel, not Palestine, and if you care to look, it is Netanyahu intent, to dominate that entire region. That is why they want us to go to war with Iran, which would devastating. The Palestinians are NOT THE AGRESSORS. ISRAEL IS. This is not a war. It is a genocide.
Palestine was never a country with citizens. The British claimed the area as their territory. Prior, the Arabs and Jews lived in relative peace. When Israel became a state, the hegemonic Muslims were outraged. How dare Jews claim a tiny piece of land for themselves after the Holocaust. As a result, the armies of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq fought Israel for this slip of land. Who were the aggressors? I will not defend Bibi and his far right government. But cite your source of information for "they want us to go to war with Iran." You choose to believe that what is going on is genocide when it is not. Look up the meaning of the term genocide. BTW, how concerned are you with the Sudan, Ethiopia, Conga, Rohingyas? Or for you does the expression no Jews no news apply to you?
One has nothing to do with the other. Whataboutism to excuse someone claiming that cold-blooded murder 'isn't evil, it's retribution' is disgusting, phony moral equivalence, and anyone doing it has utterly lost any moral ground to stand on. Most people are adult enough and decent enough to be outraged by the genocide in Gaza WITHOUT making excuses for murder. Get a fucking grip. Or a soul.
More FAUX disgust. I dedicate myself every day, to never accept what is happening in Gaza, any more than I accepted what happened in Germany 80 years ago. Where is your disgust for the starving, deliberately, of children? The most painful, horrible way to die. Those two Jewish people, working at the Embassy, are not innocent. They would not be there if they were not Zionists. Where is the soul of Zionists? How about American Zionist who are stealing the West Bank, who openly cry for the death of all Palestinians. This is not war. You need two equal combatants for a war. This is an indigenous people fighting colonial invasion, and as far as I'm concerned, after the 1948 NAKBA, Hamas are freedom fighters, fighting for their country. Even so, 1967 Hamas agreed to a Two State solution, and Israel ignored it. They have had the agenda of complete cleansing since 1948. It is written in their Charter. And Israeli Zionists have lied to the world, about their aggression, and their intent.
The Palestinians are no more indigenous to the area than the Jews. Learn your history instead of spouting nonsense. The colonialists were the Europeans. You are so brainwashed and anti-semitic that nothing anyone will write will change your mind. BTW, do you know that Hamas hordes all shipments of food and starves the Gazans so that gullible people like you will defend them?
Well, aren't you special? Not only morally patronizing but a mind-reader as well. And on top of that, apparently elected to play god and decide which murders are OK and which aren't. I've had enough of your apologetics, Barbie. Bye, girl, bye.
This is excuse-making in its rawest most vile form:
"If you knew 80 children were starving to death every day because that is what Zionists do, the lives of two diplomates, Zionists, doesn't seems such a bad trade off. It's not evil, it is retribution."
I can see how you missed. It was the first sentence in her post.
Are you suggesting one atrocity excuses another? That's some phony moral relativism right there. As I've said before, MOST people are adult enough and decent enough to be outraged by the genocide in Gaza WITHOUT making excuses for cold-blooded murder.
they're connected - and if you want to talk moral relativism, Israel has killed hundreds of Palestinians for every casualty they suffered themselves - and they wouldn't have suffered attacks from Palestinians if they hadn't invaded the country in the first place.
Oh Jane, you protest too much. Your so outraged. Adult enough to actually stop the starvation of kids, the most horrible way to die. Over 90 days there has been a COMPLETE embargo on any food, water or any supplies, including medical, into Gaza. What do you think the death toll is. They refuse to let people leave, no to mention, there is no place for them to go. 14,000?? If I knew my family, or someone I loved was there, and I knew there were Zionists at the embassy, which they would have to be, I would bring the war to the embassy doorstep if I thought it would get someone's attention.
Then I am morally bankrupt. All those babies being starved, the most evil way to die, the most painful, are not connected to Israel either. I wonder which side of history you will be on. 1948, NAKBA, was the start of the terrorism of Palestine by the Israelis. Do a dive into the history of why Palestine was given, without consent of it's people, to Israel, out of an excess of guilt over the Holocaust. It should never have happened. Look at the actual history, recorded by Jewish scholars, 33% of Jews, in Israel, Orthodox Jews support Palestine, of the horrors Israel has heaped on Palestine. Yes, HAMAS is supported by al- Qaeda and Iran. Thank God someone supports them. The phrase, from the Sea to Sea, is written in the original Charter for Israel, not Palestine, and if you care to look, it is Netanyahu intent, to dominate that entire region. That is why they want us, the US to go to war with Iran, which would devastating. The Palestinians are NOT THE AGRESSORS. ISRAEL IS. This is not a war. It is a genocide.
Anybody, including the press [a girl can dream] who isn't calling that flying bribe HamasOne isn't paying attention.
For all the Pollyanna's out there who told us to hold out hope that enough republicans would show some spine and prevent The Billionaire Benefits Bill from passing, I would like to reintroduce you to Lucy and her football.
I am in a slow simmering rage that so many Americans (including some family/friends) voted for this psychopath rapey felon again! And that they cannot understand the consequences of what they voted for. Then to make matters worse, they voted republican down ballot and ensured that the republican boot lickers serve the purpose of a protection racket for the rapey felon and enshrine the crazy destructiveness of felon 47 and his billionaire sycophants. Until the real time damage and pain hits these voters, they will continue to rationalize the right wing propaganda as truth and ignore the flashing red lights signaling the end of our democracy. Despite my warnings about trump to people in my orbit over the last few years, people still avoid the reality of the damages approaching at warp speed. They continue to be in support of the racism, bigotry and misogyny as long as the cruelty is against immigrants, POC and never mind denying women equal rights. So I am hoping some people will slowly peel away from the malignancy that is trumpism, but I fear it’s too late.(thank you for letting me rant)
Yep, I live in a very racist and very dumb small town. Trump flags are still flying here. They do not care. I get pretty fed up with people reporting from sterile suburbia about how the tide is turning. It isn’t.
I'm fucking disgusted with the Nazi administration, Herr rapist-in-chief. Better watch out Nazi's, as a house might drop on the fucker's parade. Toes curling included. Toto, I have a feeling we're not in the United States anymore.
Very interesting — thanks for the link, Chris. Mind you, the date is given as December 2026, which means after the Midterm elections. I think if the GOP just repeat the vague term "work requirements" without highlighting the nitty gritty harsh details, it'll sound just fine to most Americans. The Victorian division of the poor into those who are "deserving" or "undeserving" still holds sway. (As an aside, I'll note that dear old Bill Clinton — forever a bête noir to progressives such as I — signed "The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act" in 1996.)
That’s so they can lay it at the feet of the Democrats. The Nazi party is thinking much further ahead than the Dems. Meanwhile, Ken Martin and his staff will BLOCK any criticism at their Substack “The Blue Print”. He is yet another failure by the party.
on the NYT story on Kilmar. "“We invoked the state secrets privilege over many of the details — of course our officials discussed what should be divulged publicly,” she added. “This just proves they are responsible public servants putting the safety of the American people first."
Ah, the State Secrets Privilege is the tool for covering up your screwup. Got it.
They're gonna find out the hardest way that despite all their bullshit bravado, they cannot declare their delusions to be objective reality, and despite all the middle of the night Fat Nixon all-caps Troof Antisocial trantrumps, he cannot command the tide to not come in or the world to bend to whatever his will is at the passing moment....
Wee The Stinky Pipples are fucked. We're fucked harder than Jake Tapper should be if he was fucked with a rusty Ted Cruz sideways.
The Extreme Court has made itself irrelevant. Trump has no intention of obeying their laws and honestly, I don’t think this court cares much. They got rich. They’re done.
Welcome to America. trumps shit hole country.
But what can you do if your 2 senators are
Dems and they vote against Chump? The Rethuglicans control both houses and are complicit.
If you knew 80 children were starving to death every day because that is what Zionists do, the lives of two diplomates, Zionists, doesn't seems such a bad trade off. It's not evil, it is retribution.

ANYONE making excuses for the cold-blooded murder of people wholly unconnected to Israeli government policy is morally bankrupt. Period.
What about the cold blooded murders of Palestinian babies, children, teens, innocent men and women? Their lives aren’t worth anything? Push people far enough, violence is going to be the reaction. And a lot of people are disgusted and disturbed by Israel’s unending GENOCIDE against the Palestinian people.

If you’re still saying “but Hamas” you’re nothing but a racist Genocide apologist. Never Again, means Never Again, for EVERYONE.

No one's making excuses, but their vengeance is going to be grotesquely out of proportion.

what about Israeli officials who declare Gaza babies to be fair game

I heard the cuts to Medicaid don't take effect until 2029, so it won't hurt republicans in the midterms. Does anyone know if that is true or not?
Anyone believing mid terms will happen or if they do will be fair hasn’t been paying attention

Kudos to Greg Palast for being one of the few election suppression checkers; his Vigilantes, Inc. film can be seen for free online.
Chris, it is TRUE. Won't even hurt the bastards in the '28 General (not that a halfway fair election is guaranteed then).
I just read something that said the work requirements part takes effect in 2026.
