Current Affairs The Would Be Emperor Has No Clothes (aka POTUS 47)

Still on about basically stopping Palestinians back into Gaza and moving them somewhere else. If there’s so much money then use it to rebuild Gaza and help to ensure their safety. But of course this isn’t about what is best for Gazans

Worked alright before 1948

Gaza is merely today's Sudetenland.

That press conference with Trump and Netanyahu smirking like the Cheshire Cat was disgusting.

I resisted the urge to tag Davek. In fact I've resisted the urge to tag Davek since the inauguration.

That would really spice up this thread

please continue to resist the urge

The sad thing is that if RFK Jr is blocked, it will be because of what he has said about US food standards (where he is correct) rather than any of his lunacy.

Sure, I can agree with RFK Jr about the horrible standards/corruption/lobbying in the US food industry, but I also agree with the dozens of previous scientists, journalists, and politicians who said this well before he did.

I’m not saying you have bought into this but it is weird that the social media/MSM narrative tends to portray him as being the first to speak up about this.

Prior to murdering 6 million Jews, Hitler wanted to move them to Madagascar.

I read that as Sunderland and was nodding along as I read it

Mitch McConnell oddly gaining some balls and voting against trumps woefully unqualified nominees

Maybe he’s reached the point of retirement. That’s usually when common sense kicks back in for politicians. If they don’t need to be re-elected they tend to have more of a moral compass.

The US has loads of land, maybe Donald could find some beautiful land there to re-house Gazans - problem sorted.

I think we figured out what his plans for Canada are.

 

[WA Toffee]

Did I just hear that right - he wants the US to annexe Palestine and they can all sod off somewhere else?

Nation building in the Middle East, always been a win-win for those living there and the US.

The Crusades worked out so well for the place.

So Canada you better rush to beat Gaza and Greenland, #51st state sounds way cooler than #52 or #53.

Excited to see Musk/DOGE cost plans for the invasion, rebuilding and occupation.

Saw this Onion headline floating around Bluesky today.

Science in the US is basically finished as Trump plans to fire 50% of the staff at National Science Foundation, over and above barring proposals that use words like “female”
